Ciara's POV
"At this time since the first day of school, why don't we introduce ourselves first? It's like I can get to know you all and I won't have a hard time getting to know you when we have oral recitations."
I groaned. Why introduce more? What are we? High school? We are college students but we are still considered children because of that introduction!

I looked around and never knew all my future classmates. Not everyone here is also my classmate in all subjects because it is only a minor subject and many irregular students are also included.
Everyone starts to introduce and thankfully they started in the front row, which means we still have a long way to go.
I noticed that other graduating students were also included in our subject, others were also a year ahead of us. See? Do you think we need to introduce more? Sir can get a list for us if his purpose is only oral recitation.
After a while, almost everything was finished with the introduction so it means I was the next one so I stood up in my seat and smiled at them, "Good day! I am Ciara Rose Ramirez, nineteen years old and I live and Camella Homes. My hobby? You know that of course studying and I'm into music too. That's all! "
I immediately sat down and Patrick, who was next to me, followed, "Hellooo! Are you still alive? Because Patrick Lim is dead," because what he said made them all laugh at what he said. Yeah right, the darling of the clown! "I am so dead to you, sir - yieeee!"
I looked at Sir Zafar's reaction and there I saw that he was laughing, even me! The gay hormones are out!

I slapped him right on his shoulder, "Hey! You cannot have nor flirt to Sir Zafar!"
"Have some mercy, twin! That's why he's a theology teacher because Sir is going to be a priest!"
Everyone laughed at what happened and even Patrick laughed at his nonsense, "OHH, my bad! I am so sorry, Sir! You will be a Father Priest in the future! My bad !!!"
"Whooo! Go, Patrick!"

"Way to go, dude! I like you!"
"It's a pity Patrick and you're just going to be gay! Please, be mine!"
"Okay, class! Quiet!" Sir Zafar shouted and looked at Patrick, "Are you done with your introduction, Mr. Lim?"
"Not yet! So ... I'll continue. I'm Patrick Lim, nineteen years old. Then this fat and ugly witch next to me is my twin and she'll be the one to introduce you," and he even pointed out to Patricia.
Patty glared at her twin before standing up, "Way to go, Pat. So, hi everyone! I am Patricia Lim, nineteen years old, and I live at Ong Yiu. My hobby is darts! That's all!"
Angelo also followed, "I am Angelo Marshall. I am from Antongalon and I hope you will all be my friends!"
Ciara's POV
At exactly three o'clock, it was there that we immediately went to the CBE building for our Cost Accounting subject. I was walking with Patty so I asked her who would be our instructor on that subject was.
"Sir Linnux Razi seems to be. Do you kind of know him?"
 
"Linnux, hmm ... oh yeah! He was the instructor who orientated us then," I told him, "He is mostly the crush of almost all of our seniors."
 
"So, you mean that Sir Linnux is that hot and gorgeous?" Patrick suddenly asked, still holding Angelo in his arms.
 
"Well, it's a secret ..." I said and we walked towards our room. The instructor wasn't there yet so we just sat down and used our cellphones so I can chat and communicate with Shan.
"Rafa's subject at 1:30-3:00 PM is Cost Accounting," Angelo said suddenly, "and they are dismissed. Maybe Sir Linnux will be here any minute."
We just adjusted our seats when the instructor entered our classroom. I picked up my phone and saw Shan just sent a message,
Shan Ralph Aquino
      Hi, baby! Science, Technology, and Society is our next class. I still don't know who will be our instructor e. Anyway, be careful always! I love you!
I just smiled and put my phone back in my bag and Sir was just talking and doing some orientation and he just released us early.
I fixed my things and we all went out of the room and there I saw Shan, Zam, and Rafael just waiting outside. Hmm, they don't have classes?
"Hi, baby!" Shan greeted, "So, it turns out that we don't have classes and maybe you won't either."
"Do we have the same instructor in that subject?"
Rafael nodded in response, "Yeah, we have the same instructor in A-13 and A-11 in STS."
"STS? What's that? I only know STI," Patrick said suddenly so I just laughed.
 
"It's Science, Technology, and Society," I replied, "Oh, do you have classes at 4:30?"
 
 
"Well, we just want to ditch classes. Who cares, it's just the first day and we got only minor subjects left."
"Come on! I told you earlier that we're going home and we just ditch!" Patrick said.
"Do you want to go home? What about let's just wander around first. After all, Shan has a car, plus Patrick is still driving his motorcycle!"
 
"Agree on that! How about let's go to the mall first. In SM," Angelo said so we agreed.
We left the school and went straight to Shan's car with Zam, Rafael, and Angelo. While the twins were on Patrick's motorcycle.
Shan drove and we talked about school and stuff until we reached SM.
When we went inside, that was also the arrival of the twins. We just walked around the mall, looked at the shops and others were also buying but they only bought the cheap ones.
Hours left, I suddenly felt hungry and I looked at my watch, it was already past six o'clock. How long have we been around here?
"I'm hungry!" Patrick said and even touched his stomach, "I want to eat at Shakey's."
 
"Duh? Are you sure? That restaurant is so expensive!" I even said that it's delicious to Shakey's!
I saw on one side that Rafael and Angelo were talking as Angelo suddenly approached us, "Guys, let's go and eat at Shakey's. Don't worry, it will be my treat!"
I was stunned by what he said. Gosh, I love Shakey's, "Don't worry about Gelo here, he's rich."
Angelo suddenly nudged Rafa's side, "Hey, I am not. But, I'm sure. It's on me."
 
"Are you sure about that? Because I'm all in!" this Patrick is dead hungry.
 
"Please, be embarrassed a little bit, twin! You're not embarrassed," Patricia scolded her twin and turned to Angelo, "I'll chip in too, so you can pay less."
I just shook my head and called them, "Let's go first and we'll go to Shakey's now."
There we started walking towards Shakey’s. I looked inside first and it was perfect that there weren’t that many people inside so we got in right away.
 
"It's really expensive here though, but didn't we eat here with Faith before?" I asked Shan.
He nodded, "Yes, that was before. Julie was with us back then," he said. Those were the times when his girlfriend was still his sister and I was super heartbroken before.
"That is so awful, guys! How come I did not eat with you," Patricia interjected in the conversation. I laughed at her because she seemed to be sulking, "Why are you just wandering around without me?"
 
"Duh, Faith and I are supposed to be hanging out that time. I don't know why Shan ruined our date," I replied.
Shan's eyes grew up when they heard that, "That is so not true! Faith and you had sabotaged my date before! Julie was the one who paid for everything, you're just eating it all out."
"Oh?"
 
"Wait ... wait ... wait," Patrick said, "why don't I know that?"
 
"Of course, you're not here yet," I said, "you're still in Davao."
"Are you from Davao, Pat?" Zam asked.
"Yeah, since grade seven I've been there studying fatigue and I am so bored and all alone so I thought about going home here to go to college."
 
"It's a pity," said Angelo, "there are so many good schools there."
"Yes, it's a sad case because I am all alone and depressed," he just said and smiled suddenly, "let's go ahead and order."
They complied and ordered immediately. We were still in conversation when the food arrived as well. It was preceded by prayer and we ate together.
In the middle of the meal and the story, someone suddenly called Zam's phone so she suddenly left and moved away from a little.
 
"After this, where are you all going?" Patrick suddenly asked as he took a slice of pizza.
I looked at Shan, "I'll hang out at Shan's house first."
"Oh, can we come along with you?" Angelo suddenly said and turned to Shan, "can we hang out at you're house?"
 
"Oh, it's already evening. We can go to our house the next day if you want," he suggested, "Ciara and I will have our quality time, don't ruin it."
 
"Okayyy, whatevs," Patricia said simply.
"We can go by Wednesday. We don't have classes on that day, do we?" Patrick said when Zam came back as well.
"What's with Wednesday?" she asked once he sat down, "I believe that there is no work for that, so ...?"
 
"Oh. We're going to hang out at Shan's house," I replied, "What are we going to do?"
 
 
"Movie marathon?"
 
"Sure. There are a lot of stocked movies at home. Anytime, we can watch anything," Shan.
Zam nodded, "Count me in."
After we ate dinner we went home as well. Rafa and Angelo need to go since their house is so far from the city proper.
Zam went down to his destination and Shan and I were the only ones left, "Let's go home first, ah?"
I nodded at him. I also texted my mom and she said she was still at work but she could come home later.
We also arrived at their house which is just next to ours. Shan and I entered their house at the same time and we arrived at his family.
Jane saw me and ran towards me, "Hi, Ciara! It's good that you were able to visit here at home!"
 
 
"Hello, Jane!" I greeted back and also looked at Tito John and Tita Julia, "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson."
"Come in, Ciara. How are you?" Aunt Julia stood up and hugged me.
 
"It's okay. We had no classes earlier so we just wandered around with our friends," I said, "Is Faith already back home?"
 
"Nah. She is busy right now," Uncle John replied, "she's on duty at the hospital right now."
I nodded and felt that Shan had called me so I said goodbye to them and went up to Shan's room.
I saw him sitting so I approached him, "Hey."
He smiled, "Hey, baby. Hays, it's even better when I'm with you in the same section."
 
"That's why but we can't do anything, baby," I said and lay down on his bed, "that's okay. Zam is also with you in your section."
 
"Tss, it's still better when you're with me," he said. He stood up immediately and looked into my eyes, "Hmm, what are we going to do now?"
"It's up to you," I replied and I saw him smile slightly, "Oh, what's that look, Shan Ralph?"
"Nothing, Ciara Rose," he said and sat down next to me. He stared at me and removed the hair on my face, "You're very pretty and I'm so lucky to have you."
I just smiled as he leans closer to me. I closed my eyes as I can feel his breath. About inches away, he is about to kiss me when the door of his room suddenly opens, "SHAN!"
