"Settle Down is about a guy who liked a girl, but the girl is really shy and closed off. The girl hides behind her hair, using it as a mask to hide herself and the guy is unable to get through her. She refuses to let him in, responding only in body language at first then simply avoiding him. He desperately wants her, he wants to be with her. These feelings he has makes him lose control of his thoughts and pretty much everything. They live in a small town and keep running into each other. It kills him every time but he puts on a brave face. Basically, he's saying, 'Slow down, take the time to get to know me. I love you, I love that you're shy and you're too shy to take a chance but I won't give up.' But truth be told, he gave up." - Matthew Healy of The 1975
Reminder: THIS IS FICTIONAL.
Here's part two!

Nakangiti paring naglalakad si Camille patungo sa dorm nila. Tila hindi talaga sya makaget over na nagkahalikan sila... na naman. Pangalawang beses na toh at feeling nya napaka-rebel na nya.
"Twin!"
She snapped out of her thoughts nang marinig nya ang matulis na sigaw ng kakambal na si Cienne. Patakbo naman itong lumapit sa kanya at niyakap nito.
"San ka galing?!" pahabol na tanong ni Cienne kay Camille.
"Umm—"
"I looked for you the whole night last night! I was so worried!" she lets go of her twin sister.
"Umm—"
"San ka nagpagabi ha?!"
"Pasasagutin mo na ba ko o hindi?" medyo naiinis na nyang giit sa kambal. She gets interrupted all the time kasi.
Napatahimik naman agad si Cienne kahit mukhang andami pa nitong gustong itanong kay Camille. But then, ano nga bang sasabihin ni Camille sa kanya? She knows she wasn't supposed to tell her that she slept in an Atenista's house. Cienne would go berserk.
A small town
Dictating all the people we get around
What a familiar face
"I-I called up ate Wensh last night. Gusto ko ring makita yung bagong apartment nya tas ang tagal nyo pang matapos kaya iniwan kita dun," she lies. This is everyone's hobby.
"Oh." Cienne exhales a sigh of relief. "Sana man lang tinext mo ko!"
"As if you were gonna read it! Busy mo kaya kagabi," Camille backfires her sister.
"Hayy. Oo nga naman. I'm so sorry!" Niyakap na naman ang kambal. "Wag mong sabihin kay Ate Cha na pinabayaan kita please?"
"Of course, twin." Para di ko na rin kailangan magsinungaling pa kay ate kung san ako nagpagabi. She can easily tell if I'm lying, Camille thought.

"Guess who got laid last night boys!!!"
Rex rolled his eyes as his friend makes fun of him again. But this time, in front of his other teammates.
"Joshua Villanueva, how many times do I have to tell you? I. Didn't. Get. Laid." It's his nth time trying to explain already pero matigas pa rin ang ulo ng kaibigang si Josh.
Napatawa naman dito si Josh. "Asusss. Deny ka pa, Intal. Nakita kita kagabi. With my own gorgeous eyes. May kasama kang babae! Hawak hawak mo pa sa bewang!"
"Wala ka namang gorgeous eyes eh. Malabo nga yang mata mo." Mahina nyang tinapon ang unan sa teammate.
"But oy, don't deny it."
