I was waiting outside of Jay-Jay's house.
It's been 30 minutes since I've been waiting and she finally came out.

Ashlyn - Why are you so late!?

I said knowing we have to run all the way to school.

Jay-Jay - My cycle was moved to the parking lot!

God! Now we don't even have a vehicle.
We started run to school.
We panted going inside the class and relieve that teacher hasn't come yet.

Jay-Jay - God! I thought I was late...speaking of! My cycle was moved to the parking lot.

Felix - Ash,why are you late?

I sat on the top of his desk trying to catch my breathe.

Ashlyn - I was waiting for Jay,she was late so I was too.

Jay-Jay - Don't blame me,Ash.

She laughed.
I just glared at her trying to catch my breath totally.
Ci-N and Jay-Jay exchanged a mischievous.

Jay-Jay - Hi baby!

Ci-N - Hello baby!!

They both started calling eachother baby.

Calix - You think that's funny?

Jay-Jay - Ofcourse!

David came in and Jay-Jay started calling him baby too.
She was going to call Felix baby too but he got up and went away.

Jay-Jay - Ash...

She whispered.
I looked at her and she eyed me to Calix.
I nodded and went to him to speak and get help for Mica.

Ashlyn - Hi calix.

Calix - What now?

He said looking done and annoyed.

Ashlyn - So,Mica...isn't it?I can help,you know?

Calix - Why do you care so much? Why are you trying to help me?

Ashlyn - I am not trying to help you...I am trying to help Mica.I think she is in this problem cause of me and Jay-Jay...so,we are taking the responsibility.

He just stared at me.

Ashlyn - Okay...I thought maybe getting help through you would solve the problem between you and Mica too,but I guess not now.

I got up to go but then he held my hand.
I raised my eyebrows looking at him.

Calix - Can you really help?

I smiled and nodded my head.

Calix - Then what should I do?

Ashlyn - Nothing,just tell me any secrets or something important you know about Freya?

Calix - There's nothing I know like that...but Freya and Aries used to get intimate.

Ashlyn - I know that! Tell me something that no one might not know except you.

He started thinking for some time and I guess something has came into his mind.

Calix - Yes! I got it! I used to have a friend from Section C,he told me once that he overheard Aried and Freya arguing about some video...He says that maybe Freya has an explicit video of them and that she uses it to blackmail him.

My eyes almost popped out listening to him.

Ashlyn - What!?

I didn't care about my surroundings.
I was so shocked,like what!? 
Suddenly I heard my name being called,I turned around to find Ella.

Ella - Jay...Ashlyn can I speak to you? You don't have a teacher yet,right?

Jay-Jay looked at me and I nodded at her to go.
I followed her.

Jay-Jay - Yes,no one is following us...tell what you want to.

Ella - Thank you so much for helping Mica when I wasn't present and I wish you do the same whenever I'm not present.

Jay-Jay - It's nothing,that's fine.

Ashlyn - Yeah,that's right.

Ella - And I had a talk with Aries.

Jay-Jay - So? Am I not going to be punished?

She nodded and Jay-Jay started jumping out of happiness.
I smiled.

Ella - And...I wish you could help me with another thing.

We nodded our heads.

Ella - Could you please not let Mica anywhere near Calix...cause she was so hurt.

Jay-Jay - But that's the decision Mica should take herself...right?

Ashlyn - Yes,if Mica also likes Calix back as he does now...then I think we can't do anything about it,and shouldn't indulge too.

Ella - Only I know how much she was hurt...please do me this one favor,okay?

She said to us.
I was completely dumbfounded,didn't know how to react cause I didn't want to seem rude but also didn't want to abandon Calix.

Ella went away and we got back to class.
All the boys were sitting almost near the door and just staring at us.
We were shocked.

Ashlyn - What?

Keifer - What did you guys talk?

Jay-Jay - She just thanked us and...asked us for a favor.

Keifer - What favor?

Jay-Jay looked at him surprised but he didn't care even abit.
Jay just stood in silence not knowing what to tell.

Calix - Isn't it about me?

Jay was silent and I decided to take a step in this situation.

Ashlyn - Yes!...it was about you,she wanted us to keep Mica away from you.

Calix scoffed and others looked irritated by the situation.
Jay tried to stop me.

Ashlyn - What? He has the right to know.

I told to Jay and she just grabbed my arm.

Keifer - What are you planning on doing?

Ashlyn - Nothing...cause this isn't our issue.

Jay-Jay - Right! We remain silent in this issue.

Ashlyn - And...if you still doubt us,I'm only going to tell you one thing.Love must be there in both sides,only if Mica still loves Calix like before...they would get back and if not nothing....so there's nothing we can do cause love cannot be forced,right?

Mayo came inside with a bundle of books.

Mayo - Guys! Teacher told us to answer these.

He said giving us a book each.
I'm totally crying inside.

Jay-Jay - Periodicals?

Ci-N - Right,another shame to Section E.

Jay-Jay - Why?

Ci-N - They post results in the main building.

Ashlyn - What!?

I was shocked,no way can a person look at my results.

Jay-Jay - Why?

Ci-N - To motivate students to do better in academics.

Ashlyn - I can't do well if they publicly shame me for my grades!

Ci-N - Do you study that well?

He said sarcastically.
I wasn't even in the mood to hit or scold him as I was too worried.

Calix - Shit! No! No!

He went outside of the class.

Keifer - Follow Calix!

He said and we ran back of him.
We reached the center of the school near the entrance.
I now understood why he ran...Mica was being proposed by Mykel.

Mykel - Will you be my girlfriend,Mica?

Calix was whispering Mica's name helplessly.
I kind of felt bad but serves him right! He shouldn't have cheated if he loved her so much.

Jay-Jay - Mica! Is this what you really want? Think about it.

Mykel - Shut up!

Jay-Jay - Mica...think about it,whom do you really love?

Myself stormed onto her and grabbed Jay's collar.
Due to the force I tripped onto Eman who was just beside me.

Eman - Are you okay?

Ashlyn - Oh yeah...sorry.

Eman - No problem,just don't hurt yourself.

I nodded my head standing up straight again.
He put his hands on my shoulder.

Ashlyn - Huh?

Eman - So,you won't fall again.

Ashlyn - It's fi-

Eman - It's okay...I don't want you hurt.

I turned my face blushing.

Eman - Are you blushing?

I didn't answer him.
Ella was trying to stop Jay-Jay.

Ella - Mica is over Calix...and has been hurt alot,so stop it.

Ashlyn - Did she say so? Let her speak too,it's her decision after all.

Ella - Ashlyn,please.

Jay was about to speak but Calix stopped her.
He went to Mica and started speaking to her.
Jay was totally dramatic and overwhelmed with the drama.

I was happy too.

Mica - Okay...but not here.

Ashlyn - He finally did it!

I smiled and looked at Eman.
He nodded his head happily.
We headed back to our building.

Felix - You spoke really well back there.

Ashlyn - How do you think I won so many debates!

I said gigging.

Felix - Right.

Eman - You debate? Like the politicians on TV?

Ashlyn - No way! They only talk nonsense...I won't become like them.

Felix laughed.

Ashlyn - I'm not gonna become like them.

I whined feeling annoyed.
Me and Eman were walking together and we saw Calix and Jay-Jay.
Others went inside the class and we just stood there.
They spoke for a long time and Calix even cried and pulled his hair in the conversation.
But I knew that it's all because of a letter.
Calix ran and Keifer came into the picture.

Keifer - You really are a meddler.

Jay-Jay - You love gossips,don't you?

Keifer - Let's go?

Jay-Jay - Where?

Keifer - Do you think he'll be fine after what happened with Mykel?

Ashlyn - We will come too! I like love dramas too.

Keifer - Since when have you guys been here?

Ashlyn - Since you were so immersed in speaking to her.

Keifer stood there.

Jay-Jay - Come,let's go.

She said and we went together.

Ashlyn - What's that love letter?

Jay-Jay - You saw it?

I nodded,

Jay-Jay - It's a letter Mica wrote to Calix...but it never reached Calix,he got to know how much Mica loved him and trusted him today.

Ashlyn - You never told me about this letter.

Jay-Jay - Even I forgot about it the day I read...only remembered it today.

I made an 'O'

Keifer - You and Ashlyn stay at that side,Me and Jay-Jay will stay here...we can't get caught.

I nodded.
I grabbed Eman's hand and squatted to a side.

Ashlyn - They are so cute,right?

Eman - You are even cuter.

Ashlyn - Stop...look at them,if they date again they'd be the perfect  couple.

Eman - Oy,how about we make an even more cute couple?

Ashlyn - I told you to stop.

I said hitting his shoulder and trying to focus on the couple.

Eman - Ash...I like you.

Ashlyn - St-...what?Are you joking?

Eman - No...I-I like you.

My eyes widened in shock.
Yes,I do have a crush but the confession was so sudden.
I lost my balance and was about to fall.
He put his hand to the back of my head.
I couldn't help but scream.

Ashlyn - Ah!

So guys that's for today
