After they got in school, Gwen immediately ran.
Astrid
She didn't even greet me, this girl...
Gwen open her phone to see the time, She's thirty minutes late to her first subject.
And she decided to eat breakfast in the cafeteria instead.
Gwen

Gwen is talking her self while eating bread.
Suddenly, a pat on her shoulder startle her
Gwen

Astrid and the others entered the cafeteria.
Daria

Gwen

Gwen and Astrid went straight to the bar.
While waiting for the others, they both already ordered some beverages (softdrinks).
Gwen
Guys? We're waiting for like an hour.
Jake
Sorry Gwen, I'm still waiting for my sister. That freak threatened me after knowing that we're going to bar for a small celebration.
Daria
Your sister? Anika? That little piece of sh—
Astrid
What about you Daria? where the hell are you?
Daria
Jeez! chill! I'm on my way.
Gwen
I'm sensing that I'm going to be late again tomorrow.
Daria

Astrid

Gwen
She's just kidding, take care all of you!
Daria
ALRIGHT! I'M GOING TO STOP!
Gwen sighs as she put her phone on the table.
Astrid
Do you drink alcohol?
Astrid is a good drinker, she has a very high alcohol tolerance and she's literally drinking tequila at the moment.
Gwen
No, my dad won't allow me.
Astrid
Oh, Uncle Chiu is still in business trip?
Mr. Chiu/Uncle Chiu is Gwen's father.
Mr. Chiu was serving military, so he's really strict and short-tempered kind of man.
Gwen
Yes, he's always busy. Don't worry, I'm already used to it since I was ten.
Astrid
I know, I'm your best friend.
Wow, she already got friend zone.
Gwen grabbed her glass and immediately drink it.
Astrid
It's just a shot of tequila and you're already drunk.
Gwen felt the dizziness of her drunkenness so she lay down on the couch.
Gwen felt a little tipsy. But she's totally fine.
Astrid roll her eyes as she fixes Gwen's hair from her face.
Astrid
Look at you, Goddess...
Astrid realize of what she was doing, so she immediately stops.
After a couple of minutes.
Jake and the others came.
Jake
What, she fell asleep?
Astrid
Taking a rest. She will wake up later and destroy everything.
Anika
Hi sister Astrid! how's going?
They both embrace each other.
Astrid gave her a glass of water.
Astrid
Wonderful, how's the baby?
Anika and Jake are siblings. Jake is older than Anika, she's just too careless that she let a guy touch her.
Anika glance at her tummy.
Anika
Totally fine. Such a shame that I can't drink with you guys.
Daria
We have no intention of inviting you here either..
Jake
Ok! Let's order some drinks!
She stood up and start walking away...
Daria
Where are you going?
Gwen
I think I'm going to throw up.
Astrid turned her gaze an Gwen's tipsiness.
Daria approach Astrid and whispered.
Daria
I think you should follow her.
Daria
Because! What if she fought an accident? Mr. Chiu will probably order us to distance ourselves from her.
Astrid thought about what she said.
She stood up and followed Gwen's trace. She leaves the VIP room.
Astrid saw a guy in front of Gwen.
Gwen is very dizzy that she will throw up.
Astrid grabbed Gwen's hand to enter the restroom.
Gwen's breathing heavily like she's having hyperventilation.
Her face was so flustered in red.
Astrid
If you want to throw up, all cubicles are available. I already lock the door.
Gwen goes in front of the mirror and stare at herself.
Astrid
No, you looked pretty miserable.
Astrid
Stop asking some depressing questions and fix yourself.
Gwen feel irritated that she leave the restroom first.
Astrid roll her eyes as she follows her.
Since the VIP room were closed, their friends can't see them chasing each other in the crowd.
Some guys started approaching and dancing with Gwen.
Now, Astrid is stressing out.
She sat down to rest and drinks what she see on that table that isn't hers. She put a dollars under the glass as her pay.
After satisfying herself with the drink, she goes in the crowd and grabbed Gwen.
Gwen
What the hell, Astrid?! Let me go!
？？？
Let her go, she doesn't want to be with you.
The guy laugh as his other friends that is also guys.
Astrid
Shut up if you don't want to eat dirts on the floor.
？？？
Wow, who are you? Her girlfriend?
The guy tease her and they laugh again.
Astrid was so irritate that she just could punch all of them but she restrained. She just can't make scandal here, her father's name might be ruined.
Astrid
Yes, I'm her girlfriend.
Astrid
Now, stay away from her.
Astrid throws a paper dollars to them. People are greed, especially with money.
Astrid
Alright, I'm sorry I didn't —
But Astrid wasn't surprised.
Astrid felt butterflies in her stomach while their lips are collides.
After that, Gwen push her away.
Gwen felt people stares that judging them.
Astrid could see the guilty and disappointment in Gwen's eyes.
Astrid
It's fine, a kiss can't hurt anybody.
Astrid escorted her to go back in VIP room and take a rest.
Astrid
Let her take a rest.
Astrid let Gwen to sleep on her lap.
Daria

Urika
How dare she to sleep here.
Her sarcasm made everyone laughs.
Jake

They all drink while Astrid and Gwen was having a development.
Astrid
Shut up, take a rest.

Gwen

Gwen gasp as she woke up from her...
A breakfast! Someone is cooking some breakfast!
Because of her haste, she fell on the bed.
Astrid

Gwen saw Astrid leaning at her room door with a spatula on her hand.
Gwen

Astrid
Nothing, you just throw up...
Gwen
Pakshet! (Filipino expression)
Astrid
Your apartment is quite small.
Astrid
Nothing. Get up, take a bath, fix yourself, and eat breakfast.
Gwen
By the way, why are you here again? You don't have school?
Astrid

After leaving her room, she saw Astrid sitting down in front of the table full of foods.
Gwen

Astrid

Gwen laugh after hearing those iconic line of Astrid. Gwen knows that she's irritated.
Gwen started eating and it turns out so good.
Gwen
Wow, it's really good.
Astrid
About incident last night—
Gwen
I-It's fine! You don't have to answer it right away.
Astrid wasn't talking about the confession. She was talking about how her expression last night... it was guilty and disappointed.
Astrid
What are you talking about?
Astrid
You're talking about confession?
Gwen
Jusko (Oh God), how can you be so straightforward...
Gwen
Wait! you like me too!?
Astrid
I like you then and now so shut up.
Gwen
So are we— or you want—
Astrid
Calm down, I can't understand you.
Gwen
Alright, I mean... are we in special relationship now? Or we're just confessing to each other?
Astrid
Tsk, I know you. You don't like commitments, you can't handle relationships, and you're even scared of people in our society.
Astrid
We can keep this in a low-key relationship.
Gwen
What if they find out?
Astrid
So what if they find out?
Astrid approach her at pat her head.
Astrid
Don't worry, you know what I can do if someone gets in my way.
Gwen saw the other personality of hers. The dangerous one..
Gwen look at the clock. It's still early, no need to rush of going to school.
Astrid
Not yet, I just want to watch you eating what I cooked.
Gwen
Wow, it sounds like you're going to m*rder me later.
Gwen open her phone to check their group chat.
Gwen
Goodmorning everyone!
Daria
Oh you're awake? wait, did someone wake u up this early?
Gwen glared at Astrid as she laughs.
Daria

Astrid added Mei to the group.
Daria

Everyone knows how Daria likes the President Council of their school, Mei.
After Daria went off, Gwen bursts out laughing.
She put down her phone and continue eating her food.
Astrid
What do you want to eat later for lunch?
Gwen
I don't usually eat, why?
Astrid
I'll order some, so you can't get stomachache while studying in library.
Gwen
Hey! I didn't tell anyone that I'm studying in school library instead of internet cafe..
Astrid
Why? You don't have to waste your money in internet cafe.
Gwen
Alright fine! Ok you already know! But, you don't have to sent me some food. I can handle myself.
Gwen
And one more thing, I can brought myself some snacks from our cafeteria.
Astrid
Call me if you need something.
Gwen
Wow, you talk like I'm your girlfriend.
Astrid
You are my girlfriend.
Gwen
