Hannah's eyes wandered around Lisa's room. Observing and scanning her hazel orbs around. Lisa's room is very simple and it's much smaller than her room. But it's cozy. She noticed some cute things in Lisa's room like the small black teddy bear on her bed and how neat her study table is.

Until her eyes fell on the periodic table and math formulas just above the headboard of her bed.

"Woah. Nag didikit ka ng math formulas sa wall mo?" Hannah said looking at Lisa in disbelief.

"Yeah" Lisa laughed. "Lame right?"

"No. It's not lame. Ang sipag mo nga e'" Hannah stated remembering how messy she is whenever she studies. She feels kind of ashamed. "But isn't it kind of toxic? Since we literally study math all day at school then pag uwi mo makakita kapa ng math formulas sa kuwarto mo"

"Nah. Seeing it helps me remember what we studied at school that day" Lisa said. "You know naman. I'm not good at math so I'm trying my best to understand it"

Hannah looked at her amazed. "Wow. Samantalang ako kapag tapos ng klase natin sa math I just wanna forget everything. It's traumatizing"

Lisa laughed at her statement. "Yeah. It's like we're lowkey in hell"

Hannah haven't seen or talked to Lisa in five days. So finally seeing her feels like a heavy weight on her shoulders has finally been lifted.

Lisa sat on the bed while Hannah stood in front of the door awkwardly. Both looking at each other. Lisa's eyebrows furrowed.

"Uhm.. You can sit wherever you want" Lisa said, Chuckling at Hannah. "Wag ka mahiya jusme"

And Hannah did. She walked towards Lisa's bed and sat on the other end of her bed. Facing each other with quite a long distance between them. Hannah stared at Lisa like a puppy waiting for her owner to instruct her what to do next. She was sitting completely still.

Lisa is clutching a black teddy bear on her hands. "What?" Lisa asked feeling a little uneasy by how Hannah stares at her so still.

"Well. I'm in your room so I have nothing to do but stare at you" Hannah reasoned, making an excuse to stare at Lisa. But truth is she could start a conversation but chose not to and just stare at Lisa.

"What happened to you in the past five days?" Hannah said breaking her gaze at Lisa and stared at her fingers.

Lisa hesitated for a second. Thinking of what to answer. "I caught a bad flu" Even though Hannah and Lisa is close. She still decided to not tell Hannah the truth as to why she wasn't able to take an exam.

It's not easy for someone to say that 'Oh I couldn't go to school because I had a mental breakdown'. It takes a lot for someone to open up about a matter like that.

"Oh that's too bad" Hannah said. She wished she was there by Lisa's side when she was sick. But the question is does Lisa want to be by Hannah's side when she was 'sick'? "When will you take the exam?"

"Maybe sometime this week. After class" Lisa answered.

"Oh.. Chill ka lang madali lang naman exam" Hannah said leaning her back on the wall a little.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah really. I mean kayang kaya mo yun 'no'" Hannah said encouraging Lisa. But truth is she was on the brink of death when she finished the last exam. It was that hard.
