"Nope." Ly answered.
"Ha? No?" Den butted in.
"Yeah, no. They're just really really close friends." Ly confidently answered.
"How sure are you?" Kief asked.
"I'm just sure." Ly said and smiled.
"Eh bakit nga?" Den asked.
"Because of her." She said and pointed Maddie. "Bea's courting her."
"What the?" Den said. "Di nga?"
"Oo nga. Di ko lang sinasabi sa inyo kasi ayoko naman masyado mang-chismis ng tao pero Bea's always in the CSG office. She waits for Maddie pag may meeting kami. I don't know, maybe they wanna keep things lowkey." Ly said and shrugged.
"Eh bat mo pa tinanong kung sila ni Thirds?" Sabi ni Kief.
"Just wanna make sure Bea's not messing things up. Mukhang hindi naman." She said, looking straight at the three younger peeps infront of them. Bea and Maddie are now walking side by side, while Thirdy now has his earphones plugged in. "Talk to him, Kief. He might be needing it."
"I sure will." Kief said.
They reached the canteen and parang sanay na sanay na sila with their fan girls who never fails to greet them and give them stuff. Every single day. Lalo na kay Alyssa. Its already known that she has the most fans, mas madaming babae pero may pailan-ilang lalaki din na nagpaparamdam at nagbabaka-sakaling, mapapagbago nila si Alyssa. But, no. They can never. Kakaupo pa lang nila, a girl approached their table na.
"Yari ka, Kief. Ayan na girlfriend mo!" Biro ni Alyssa sa kanya.
"Hahaha. May dala pang chips oh. Penge ah?" Sabi naman ni Gretch.
"Ayan na, ayan na, aya--" Alyssa stopped nung sa kanya lumapit yung babae. "--n na."
Yung mga kaibigan niya, pati si Den, natatawa sa kanya.
"Hi, Ly!" She said. "For you!"
"H-hello." Ly said and awkwardly smiled. "S-sakin 'to?"
"Yes. Bukas na lang ulit si Kief. Tsaka, kinuwento kita sa parents ko and sabi nila na sayo ko naman daw ibigay yan." The girl said. Alyssa knows her by face, but she can't remember her name. Makakalimutin talaga siya, lalo sa pangalan.
"A-ah, ganun ba? Well, t-thank you!" She said, making herself sound excited. But she's really not. She feels awkward and shy. Sa lahat ng nagkakacrush sa kanya, si Carla lang ang kaya niyang asarin kasi nga close din sila. Pag iba na, nahihiya na siya.
"Sige, I have to go! Bye! Kief, tomorrow!" Sabi nung babae. Tumango at ngumiti lang si Kiefer sa kanya then she left.
"Ayan na, ayan na, ayan na!" Asar ni Kiefer kay Alyssa pagka-alis ni Rhian. Yep, that's the name.
"Shut up." Ly said.
"Hinga, Ly! Hahaha." Den said.
"Ugh, pati ba naman ikaw?" Ly said and pouted.
"Cute ka, I know that. But, I don't wanna get suspended. Atleast, not with the president." Den said and pulled Ly to stand up and buy their food. Their friends, either smirked or smiled sheepishly at Den's remark, but Alyssa's clueless.
"What do you mean?" She asked Den habang naglalakad sila.
"What I mean is.." Den paused. "You should buy me food na." She said and dragged Ly sa harap ng mga pagkain.
"Yun lang?" Ly asked after Den told her order sa taga-tinda.
Den looked at her as if searching for any signs of sarcasm but she found nothing. "Yeah. That would be it."
