Episode 4
It's already 8:30 AM, and my class is at 9:00 AM.
My head hurts so much why did I even drink yesterday?
I quickly got up, took a shower, and got dressed.
With my hair still wet, I left immediately and just booked a Grab because I was late.
I'll just comb my hair in the car.
Once I got in, I called Aliya.
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
*calls Aliya* Aliyaaaa!!! 😭
Aliya Mae Cortez
📱 Where are you??? What time is it now oh. We even have a report.
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
📱I know, I know, I'm sorry, I woke up late...
Aliya Mae Cortez
📱 And why did you wake up late? What did you do?
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
📱 I… uhm… accidentally drank a little last night. 😭
Aliya Mae Cortez
📱 A little??? Girl, you sound like you drank the whole bar. 😂
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
📱 {😩 Don’t judge me. I just… needed a break.
Aliya Mae Cortez
📱 A break from what? From your boyfriend who barely texts you? 😏
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
📱 Ouch. Low blow. 😭
Aliya Mae Cortez
📱 I’m just saying. If I had a boyfriend like yours, I’d drag him to class with me every day.
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
📱 Yeah, well, he’s busy with basketball. It’s fine… I’m fine… totally fine. 🙂
Aliya Mae Cortez
📱 Anyway, hurry up! If you don't make it, you'll get a 0 in Prof's subject.
She hung up on me right away.
Finally, I arrived at the university and immediately rushed to the room.
Luckily, we finished our reporting, and guess what? It succeeded, even though I had a hangover.
Good thing my partner is my best friend, beautiful and intelligent too.
Aliya Mae Cortez
GIRLLLL, we survived!!! 😭👏
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
I KNOW!! Thank you for saving my life out there. 🥹
Aliya Mae Cortez
Duh, what are best friends for? But seriously… you look dead. 😂
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
I feel dead. My soul left my body during that report. 😵💫
We're heading to the parking area where Aliya's car is, we're going to eat at the mall near the university because I still haven't eaten anything, I might faint.
Aliya Mae Cortez
Btw, how was what you were supposed to submit to the prof yesterday?
I didn't answer and just bowed my head... I passed it, but still, it wasn't accepted.
That's also one of the reasons why I drank.
Aliya Mae Cortez
Wait… don’t tell me…
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
😶 …
Aliya Mae Cortez
KEISHARA?! Your article didn’t get accepted??
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
Yeah. Prof said it wasn’t “enough.” 💔
Aliya Mae Cortez
WHAT?! Girl, you stayed up all night for that!! 😤
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
I know… I worked so hard, Aliya. I really thought it was good… 😞
Aliya Mae Cortez
Ugh, that professor is blind. 😡
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
…That’s why I drank last night. I just… needed to clear my head.
Aliya sighed and patted my back as we kept walking toward the parking area.
Aliya Mae Cortez
Okay, okay. Food first. Then rant session. Deal?
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
Deal. 🥲
We reached the car and hopped in.
Aliya started the engine while I leaned against the seat, staring out the window.
Aliya Mae Cortez
So, where do you wanna eat?
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
Anywhere with coffee. ☕
Aliya Mae Cortez
Say less. I know the perfect place.
While on the way to the mall, I opened Instagram to distract myself… only to regret it immediately.
Aliya Mae Cortez
Don’t tell me you’re stalking him again. 😑
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
I’m not— okay, maybe a little. 🙃
Aliya Mae Cortez
*Sighs* Your boyfriend hasn’t posted in days, right?
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
Exactly. He hasn’t called or texted either.
Aliya Mae Cortez
Maybe he’s busy with training?
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
Maybe… or maybe he just forgot about me. 😔
Aliya Mae Cortez
Girl, stop overthinking. You’re stressed enough already.
I sighed and closed my phone, forcing a smile.
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
Fine… no more stalking.
Aliya Mae Cortez
Good. Focus on your food, not your feelings.
When we arrived at the mall, we headed straight to the café.
While waiting for our orders, Aliya scrolled on her phone.
Aliya Mae Cortez
*gasp* Keish… LOOK! 😱
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
What now?
Aliya Mae Cortez
*shows me her screen* The famous model, Rowan Monteverde … HE’S AT OUR CAMPUS RIGHT NOW.
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
What?? Why??
Aliya Mae Cortez
Apparently, he has a shoot for some magazine collab with the university.
Aliya Mae Cortez
People are going crazy outside the gym. 😍
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
Pfft. Him again? 🙄
Aliya Mae Cortez
Don’t tell me you’re still not impressed?? Girl, LOOK at him.
Aliya Mae Cortez
Literal Greek god.
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
Greek god, playboy heart.
Kieshara Edea Morales [21yrs old]
Same thing. No thanks.
Aliya Mae Cortez
You’ll eat your words someday.
