KINAMI'S POV

"Kina! Kina!" Tinignan ko si Bakekang na panget na tumatakbo papalapit sakin. "Look at my drawing oh!" She had a big smile on her face when she rudely placed her sketchpad on top of my textbook. 

"You're proud of... that?" It was a stick-drawing of a girl and a boy who were walking hand-in-hand in the park. "Seriously Bakekang, that drawing is not something to be proud of." 

"Ano ka ba, Kina! Ikaw yung boy dito sa picture tapos ako yung girl. Bagay tayo diba?" 

"Bagay? Tayo?" Umiling nalang ako at inalis yung sketchpad niya. "Please do not disturb me when I'm studying." A failing grade is the last thing I need. 

"Good Morning Class, we have a new transferee for our class." I closed my book and looked at our teacher. "Come here and introduce yourself." 

May pumasok sa loob ng klase namin na babae. She's... pretty. "Hello everyone, My Name is Peri Aleyna Perez Victorino. You can call me Eyna. I have two siblings and we transferred here because we wanted a change of environment. It's nice to meet you all." 

"Thank you, Eyna. You can sit next to Kinami." I stared at her as she walked towards the seat next to me. How should I introduce myself? Should I introduce myself? 

"Hi! May nakaupo ba dito?" She asked. 

Umiling ako. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong sabihin. 

"You're Kinami diba? I'm Eyna. Sana maging friends tayo." Inabot niya sakin yung kamay niya para makipag-shake hands. I hesitated at first pero ang bastos naman ng kalalabasan kapag tinanggihan ko. 

"Sure, Friends." I smiled back.

AYUMI'S POV

Stress... Stress... Stress. "What do you mean na nalulugi yung Eastwood branch?! I've been there last week and there were enough clients to keep it running. I even gave that branch a million dollar fund in case of emergency. Saan napunta yun?" 

"Ma'am, we checked everywhere pero wala po talagang available funds." Sabi ng secretary ko.

"That's Bullsh-it! Sabihin mo nga sakin kung paano tatakbo ang isang milyong dolyar?!" Sigaw ko. Nas-stress ako. Never pa kami nagkaroon ng branch na nalulugi so what's with this news? "Call my private investigator and have everyone investigated. No Bank Account will be left unchecked, understand?!" 

Pinindot ko na yung end call at sumandal sa swivel chair ko. Inabot ko yung telephone ko na nakapatong sa desk at kinonnect sa phone ni Kuya. "Hello?"
