8:30 PM... At the condominium.
RJ was about to go out, when he saw Mikael. Waiting for Maine at her door.
"Hey, Mikael." He greeted.
"Oh, Hey. You live here aswell?" He asked.
"Yep. Are you looking for Maine?" RJ asked.
"Ahmm... Yes. How do you know she lives here?" He asked curiously.
"We saw each other this morning." He answered.
"Okay. Are you going somewhere?" Mikael asked.
"I'm going to the mall." RJ answered.
"Sabay ka na samin." Mikael said.
"Sure? Baka madisturb ko kayo." RJ asked.
"Yes. Hintayin ko lang si Maine." Mikael said.
Maine came out a few seconds later... Her eyes widened when she saw Mikael and RJ talking.
"B-Babe? Let's go na?" She nervously said.
"Sabay natin si RJ. Sa Mall din sya pupunta." Mikael said.
"O-okay." Maine answered. She didn't look at RJ anymore, instead, she walked away from them. The boys followed her, until they all got inside the elevator.

"Thanks for the ride, guys." RJ said as he got out of the car.
"Welcome. It was nice to meet you again, RJ." Mikael said. RJ smiled at them then he walked away. He went to McDonald's, where he was suppose to meet his cousin, Megan.
"Akala ko malalate nananaman..." Megan murmured.
"Kelan pa ko nalate, Meg?" He asked.
"Siguro mga million times na." She answered.
"Grabe. Ano order mo?" He asked.
"Libre mo?" She asked excitedly.
"Oo. Ano?" He replied.
"Chicken, na may spaghetti, coke float, fries—"
"Teka, bat ang dami? Isa lang! Kala ko diet ka?" He exclaimed.
"Fine. Chicken tas coke float." She answered.
"Okay." RJ said as he walked towards the counter to order their meals.

When they both started eating, Maine and Mikael came inside the fast food chain. They sat almost near RJ and Megan, but then Mikael got distracted.
"Mikael?" Megan called.
"Meg? Hey..." He said coldly.
"Hey, How are you?" She asked with a smile.
"O-okay lang... Nakabalik ka na pala ng Pilipinas." He said.
"Ah, Yes. Thanks to RJ." She answered.
"B-boyfriend mo ba sya?" Maine then asked out of nowhere.
•••
"B-boyfriend mo ba sya?" Maine then asked out of nowhere.
"Ahmm... No. I'm his cousin. Who are you?" Megan asked.
"My name is Maine. Nicomaine Mendoza." She answered awkwardly.
"Ahh... Ikaw yung best friend ni Mik na kwinekwento nya sakin dati..." Megan said.
"Actually, She's my girlfriend now." Mikael said as he placed an arm on her shoulder.
