“YOU KNOW that Gail? That man is really rude! Oh my God! I so hate that man! He's so rude and so boastful! And I know that he's a heartbreaker! ” said Skye to her friend Gail.

She is also friends with Gail aside from Airin. The two mentioned became her classmates during their first year in the Accountancy course. But when she was in her second year, she realized that her heart was in the arts. So without hesitation she shifted course and took Fine Arts. But even though she changed course, the three of them continued their friendship. In fact, they become even stronger over time.

And now, she is in her fourth year of the Fine Arts course. And she can say that her decision to shift course was the right one. She was happy with what she was doing and what she was studying, not like when she was in Accountancy. Yes, she was also happy when she was in Accountancy, but that was because of her friends. And now, she can say that this is really her calling. This is really the one for her.

Even though he made new friends and classmates in his new section, the fact that Airin and Gail were the first people he met, bonded and became real friends could not change. That's why he loves those two friends so much. He was willing to sacrifice for the sake of his two friends.

"Who else, Skye?" Gail asked him.

They have vacant time both at those times. They had just finished eating at the University Canteen and they were here in the Comfort Room to tidy up. They are not with Airin because she is with her warty boyfriend Alessandro — the man who is obsessed with Airin's pretentiousness. He was very surprised at that friend of his. He can rarely be with and talk to Airin because Les is always with him. And she will admit, she’s quite bothered with her.

How come Les just broke up with his latest girlfriend — or ex-girlfriend to be exact — last week then they will only know that Les and Airin will turn on right away. He was no fool for not thinking there was a phenomenon going on between Les and Airin. But he can't interfere with Airin because he also sees that it's fun now. He could see how happy that friend of his was when Les was with him. And he didn't want to hinder the pleasure of it.

That's why he doesn't just pay attention to the strange feeling he feels now.

"Who else but the very arrogant and very playboy Cloud Valeroso of the Tennis Club!" he answered Gail's question.

Cloud Valeroso he was referring to was the member of the Tennis Club he played the other day. The man did nothing bad to her, in fact, even the common sense of his approach to her. But her blood was really warm to that man. And she has a valid reason why she doesn't like that man.

He heard its sigh and he saw its slight shake. “How many times do I have to say this, Skye. Cloud is not a playboy. ”

"How did you say that, aber?"

“We see each other, don't we? "No one has even heard of the man having a girlfriend."

“That’s the point! He doesn't have a girlfriend because he only does fling and flirting. Have you forgotten what he had done to our friend, Yenna? He broke her heart by telling lies! ”

He felt his blood boil again when he remembered the crying face of their friend Yenna. Yenna doesn't like them that close but she also considers the woman a friend. And she was almost livid when she heard how that Cloud made Yenna cried a river of tears. Cloud just hoped and hurt Yenna.

“You believe Yenna? You knew from the beginning that it was an illusion for Cloud. That girl is insane, Skye. As far as I know he is in Mental institution now. I never thought you would still believe the lies he told. ” Gail said to him.

"And how did you say Yenna was lying, huh?" he asked his friend as he adjusted his hair tie at the same time thinking as if he couldn't see Yenna anymore.

"I heard her telling her 'true' friends one time that no matter what she does, she won't be able to attract Cloud ..."

“Whatever. Just, I'm still pissed at that Cloud Valeroso. Yabang! ”

"Maybe you just typed Cloud so that's how you react to him?" Gail asked, a teasing smile posted on her lips now as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.

“ Yuckness ! I didn't type him, did I ?! My favorites are you like Charlie. Badboy image but sweet. Cool? ” he seemed to be dreaming as he imagined Charlie.

The Charlie he was referring to was Charlinton del Pierro, the bad boy of Saint Vincent University. He crushed that man because of the arrogance it possessed. And of course, also because of its beauty. What woman wouldn’t like Charlie? Just blind maybe. Even though Charlie looks like a basagulero, he can see its sweetness. She could see it in her past girlfriends.

“Oh my gosh Skye! If Airin was just here, I'm sure some of you have already reached from there. You know that woman is allergic to Charlie. ” even Gail.

This is correct. When he mentions even Charlie's name, Airin's butt explodes. Les ni Airin's mortal nemesis is Charlie so that's why.

“That’s okay, Gail. Airin was not there. I'm free! ” he shouted like a child and even raised both hands.

“I really don't know about you. I'm done fixing it. I'll be at the door first, because I don't like the smell here. You're next, okay? ” Gail said and left the Comfort Room.

He turned on the faucet and wet his face to refresh himself somehow. It's because the climate is so hot right now that it's really sticky. He heard a crack from outside and he knew it was Gail.

"Hey Gail, aren't you wondering about Airin now?" he shouts as he puts Ponds in the face. He heard a response from outside but he didn't understand much because of the water gushing from the tap. He turned off the faucet first and continued rubbing Ponds on the face. “It seems like something strange is happening to Airin and Les. We know that Airin really likes Les, but Les? Nah. I don't think so. Maybe Les was just using him. Maybe Les knows that Airin likes this so he blackmails Airin. And you know Airin, as long as he can find a way to get closer to Les, go right away. Though I couldn't blame her. If it was me, Charlie would suddenly approach, I might just say 'Yes'. ” his long litany.

There are no other people here in the Comfort Room so it's okay for them to talk about Airin's secret feelings for Les. But he was very surprised to hear no response from Gail. He just shrugged it off and rinsed his face.

“But it's unfairness for Les, he makes Airin happy. But there seems to be something really strange. But I couldn't pinpoint what is that. ” he spoke again as the towel wiped his face.

She sighed and looked at her reflection in the mirror. His face was clear so he was satisfied. He had already put away the things he had scattered in the sink as he spoke. “But you know what Gail, I will really do everything just to last whatever there is between Airin and Les. I want our dear friend to be happy so— “he stopped speaking when he got out of the Comfort Room.

He wasn't stopped because he came out, he was stopped because of the person standing right opposite the door of the Men's Comfort Room. And he almost sighed loudly when he saw who the man was who was folding his arms and smiling while looking straight at him. This is none other than the man he stabbed at the Tennis Court yesterday! This is the member of the Tennis Club he sneered at!

It was Cloud Valerso in the flesh!

“Hello. We meet again. ” he said to her and smiled at her foolishly.

He averted his eyes from it and looked around. Gail was not around. Where is that woman?

He was about to pass Cloud when he heard his voice.

“What will Les do when he finds out that Airin already likes him? Maybe, he will tell Airin to stop their pretend relationship because of that. ”

He stopped walking and violently turned on Cloud. It was still standing where it stood while looking at him. His eyes were dancing with amusement. There was a smirk posted on his lips that he loved to remove from its face. "H-they're not real?"

"Nope."

"B-but—"

“Once Les finds out that Airin likes him, Les will immediately walk away from your friend. What would she feel when he suddenly left her? ”

"You won't tell Les what you heard." he calmly commanded the man even though inside he was feeling very nervous, worried and confused.

So his prediction earlier was correct. Airin and Les don't really turn on. But this was the opportunity that Airin was asking for so long. And it looks like that opportunity will be lost because of him. Because of his negligence.

"And who are you to command me?" Cloud raised an eyebrow at him, but there was a silly smile on his face.

"You have no proof that Airin really likes Les!" he saluted the man and raised an eyebrow slightly. “And why are you interfering in the lives of Les and Airin? Huh? ”

“Evidence? Sorry to disappoint you, my lady, but I have an evidence. ” its smiling language

Someone took it from its pocket, a cellphone. He pressed something on his cellphone and soon a familiar voice hovered around them. Her voice!

“It seems like something strange is happening to Airin and Les. We know that Airin really likes Les, but Les? Nah. I don't think so. Maybe Les was just using him. Maybe Les knows that Airin likes this so he blackmails Airin. And you know Airin, as long as he can find a way to get closer to Les, go right away. Though I couldn't blame her. If it was me, Charlie would suddenly approach, I might just say 'Yes'. ”

Shit! It recorded the ones he mentioned earlier! Even the part when she said that she liked Charlie! Shit! She's dead! Airin's lovelife will be dead!

"So, what can you say now, Miss Skyeisha?" Cloud asked him when perhaps noticing his sudden silence.

"D-don't let him hear that." he spoke softly to the man and closed his eyes. He could not accept that just because of his stupidity, the thing that his friend had been dreaming of for a long time would disappear like a bubble.

“I’m usually a very generous person, Miss Skyeisha. But after you stabbed me last time, it looks like I'm not going to be nice now. ”

He looked at Cloud sharply. If the look was just deadly, this man had already jumped to the floor. “Please, don't let Les hear that. Airin will be devastated. ”

He just regretted it and turned on his cellphone again. "Maybe I should call Les now."

He immediately approached Cloud and restrained his hand holding the cellphone. “Don’t. Please. I ... I'll do anything. Just don't let Les hear that. ” he could no longer restrain the pleading in his voice. If he could see perhaps her face he knew there was pleading there.

Yes, his pride is high. He even teased this man before but Airin's happiness is at stake here so he is ready to swallow his pride now.

She saw the devilish glint in his eyes so she was immediately nervous. This man doesn't seem to be thinking well.

"Anything?" anticipating its question to him which he answered with a nod. "Then, go to my Condo Unit later." said the address of its Unit, as well as the room number.

“Wait a minute! What am I going to do in your condo unit? ”

The man woke up like a demon and seemed to want to sigh because of his grin. It was as if the man was sitting down when he smiled like that.

“I'll tell the Unit. Be there at exactly 6 o'clock. If you don't have that time, I'll send that recording to Les right away. ” it threatened him and to his surprise it suddenly tapped him on the head. "I'll see you later, Miss Skye."

It was no longer in front of him but he still remained standing there like a stump. She could not believe that the man wanted her. Maybe it plans to retaliate against him for the humiliation and taunting he did here yesterday.

I'm dead. And wait! How the hell does he know my name ?!
