I waved my hand before Third maneuvered his car away from the campus.

Another week has passed at wala namang new revelations. Araw- araw  lang akong ihahatid at susunduin ni Third sa Villa kapag hindi siya busy. Napapadalas na rin ang pagkain namin sa fastfood kahit minsan ay pinagtatalunan pa namin iyon na dalawa.

"No, babe. We're not eating again in there."  That was his line every time I insist to. But in the end, I always get what I want. Ganoon niya ako hindi matiis at pagbigyan ang mga gusto ko.

"Healthy living naman ako, ah! Just this one type of craving!" I fight every time he teaches me a lesson about nutrition.

"I'm just worried about your health. I want you healthy..." 

And then when he saw how bad his strictness brought to my face, he would always puffed a deep sigh as an indication of surrender. 

"Fine. But no fries from the fast food's recycled oil and long before washed fry pan."

Since that, medyo nagulo na rin ang schedule ko with friends. Hindi na kami masiyado nagkakasama ngayon ni Mia dahil si Third na lagi ang kasama kong kumain sa labas. I will invite her at some point, but then she always rejects.

I'm not guilty though. I know how to manage my time. It's one of my habits. I work on how to balance it. Even if I'm not in a relationship with Third, the situation will surely stay like this.

I know that Mia's avoiding me from telling something. I feel like she wants to but she just couldn't. Minsan na lang din siya mag-stay sa condo. I don't understand! The condo is what she wants right for her to always leave. However, I just noticed after her parents were back from Spain, oftentimes talaga na sa kanila na siya umuuwi.

Pero kasi ngayon, nag- cut siya. Nag- text siya sa'kin earlier. I keep on asking her so many questions but she would just ignore and answer only safe questions. I shook my head. There must be wrong. She doesn't use her free cuts frequentative for unimportant reasons so what's up.

I heaved a deep sigh, convincing myself to remove negative thoughts about her. She's fine.. I hope. For now, I'll just respect and give her the time and privacy she wants.

On to the room, I creased my forehead when I saw Lucas staring at me, but this time, seriously. He was on the other side of the walker's lane.

What's up with the man? 

I didn't bother greeting him. Why would I? I don't want to talk to him, 'no! Ang weird lang talaga niya ngayon. Ang loko biglang naging serious.

During this month seminar hour, more likely a light gathering thingy of seniors run by Villa, we were assigned to do a pair work activity. And I'm even lucky na si Rain ang naging partner ko. Kanina pa kami nakapag- pass kaya nakatulala kami ngayon sa iba na hindi pa tapos.

I laughed when I saw how irritated is Via with his partner.
