Chapter 50
Take a deep breath, Alys!
Breathe in-
Breathe out-
I'm walking out of my unit now with matching shaky legs! How could it be, Dad and Aunt Lian were so anxious, they moved me right away last night! I don't know how they got mommy to agree to let me move right away. Oh, well, that's not my concern anymore! My concern now is how I'll get down from the 19th floor without running into Drake!
I haven't even eaten breakfast yet because I woke up really early so we wouldn't be at the same time. I know, Drake's first class today is at 7, so he'll probably leave around 6:30 because it's a 15 minute drive from here to SCA. I know that, right! I'm his ex-girlfriend, remember? Of course I used to have access to Drake's schedules!
I slowly opened the door knob. Huuul Way to go, Perez!
"Good morning."

"D-Drake?"
Lord, I told you I shouldn't have wished for a condo. I'm taking back my wish.
He smiled at me. "Have you eaten your breakfast?" he said. I looked like a statue because I was just stunned by his face. It's terrible! We haven't seen each other for a week... But no. Take a break, Alys. Don't get that out of your mind!
I nodded. "I'm just going to eat. Okay, I'm leaving," I said and then I walked past him.

WHY NOW?!
Drake suddenly laughed. How is it that my stomach is so good, it's even cooperating with me! You're the only one who's expressing hunger now, of all times?!
WHY NOW?!
Drake suddenly laughed. How is it that my stomach is so good, it's even cooperating with mel You're the only one who's expressing hunger now, of all times?!
Drake came over to me and grabbed my arm. "Let's eat?"
I shook my head. "I don't want to..."
The smile on his face disappeared. What, are you giving up again? That's terrible. Why are you like that?
"Drake, we're on a one-week break. One week, you know that? You didn't even make an effort to talk to me during that one week. Then, what? Now you're suddenly going to show up to invite me to breakfast. Are you okay?"
"I gave you time..."
I faced him, "Why, did I ask for time?"
He sighed. He seemed confused by me. I was confused by myself too. That's only fairl
He looked at me. "It's my fault, I'm sorry," he said and then he took my hand.. "Will you eat breakfast with me now, then?"
"THE"
I was about to answer okay when Tripp suddenly arrived??
"Morning, Zyril," he said, coming closer to me and putting his arm around me.
"What are you doing here??" I asked him. Did he know right away? It's like I just moved here last night!!
He winked at me. "Tita Lian told me. That's terrible, it's like she's selling you to me. Haha!" he said. "Hey, cousin, were you there?" he said to Drake. Look at this guy! He can be so annoying sometimes!
Drake just looked at him evilly.
Tripp ignored Drake and acted like it was just the two of us talking. "Have you eaten yet?" he asked me. He was facing me, but he was blocking Drake from my view. I don't know if he did it on purpose or if Tripp was just born rude.
I shook my head because I was so hungry!!
Tripp removed his arm from me. "What's your passcode? Come on, let's eat."
I'm a little stunned.
He snapped his fingers in front of me. "Hey, Zyril. What's your passcode?"
No, this can't be happening!!
"That's terrible. I'm not a thief. I wouldn't let you in here even if I knew your passcode," Tripp acted.
Huhu. That's not it!!
I took a deep breath and whispered to him. Lord, I hope no one else hears.
"What?" said Tripp.
I repeated again.
"What? 1131?"
I hit him. "Why did you yell at me?!!"
I looked at Drake. He was smiling.
Tripp didn't seem to notice the tension between Drake and me. After all, what does he know about the mysterious 1131 code?
"Let's go, Zy," he said. I didn't notice that the door was open.
I looked at him and then at Drake. What kind of situation is this? The sang torn between two lovers seems appropriate!!
In the end, I thought. Drake and I broke up, Tripp is my constant companion. So, who else would I choose?
I was walking inside when Drake suddenly grabbed my arm.

"What?" I said to him.
"Can I come in, too?"
"You have class..." I said.
"I'll ditch."
Hey! Drake didn't skip class! What did he eat??
"Don't do it! Come in!" I shooed him away. Later I'll be a bad influence here! Oh, I don't want that!
I saw so much disappointment on his face. Was he disappointed because he couldn't ditch class for the first time?!
"Do you... hate me that much?"
"Huh?" I said. I still hate him, but I'm letting him in! I'm already concerned about his academics, do I still hate him? Drake's a mess!
"I just wanna spend time with you but you keep on pushing me away. Wala na ba talaga, Alys?"
I fell silent. I'm not used to him being like this. I'm more used to the cold Drake who doesn't speak, who doesn't pay attention to me. The attention I'm getting right now is so overwhelming....
I gave up too. "Come inside, okay? If you want to talk to me, tonight. Let's have dinner together, okay? Don't be absent for me. I don't want that..."
Her face lit up. "Dinner date with me, then." she said then she held my face and kissed my forehead, "God, I missed you so much, Alys."
God, Lord, why are the palpitations so weak?!! Just a little bit!! He's got tame palpitations!!
"I-I missed you too..." I said.
He smiled. "I'll be going," he said. "Be careful. I know my cousin," he said as he got on the elevator.
I ignored what he said, I went back inside the pad.
Tripp was sitting on my mini sofa. "What? You guys are back together?" he said while eating an apple. Wow! He's hungry for food!
I threw a throw pillow at him. "You know a lot!"
He laughed and stood up. Lord, why is he so handsome? Of course, I'll admit that he's more handsome than Drake. Oh, how hard it is!
I pushed that thought out of my mind. I didn't love Drake because he was handsome, I don't know, there's something about Drake that's so unique that you're drawn to him. Tripp, on the other hand, has a physical attraction. Oh my! What am I thinking?!!
"Are you and Drake talking?" Tripp asked.
I stopped eating my bread. "Huh?"
"I said, have you and my cousin talked?"
I can't answer. What's happening to me?!
He sighed. "Will you guys be together again?"
"Why... would you be jealous?"
WHERE DID THAT COME FROM, ALYS?!
He chuckled. OMO, so cute! "A little. You know?" he said, winking at me. Lord, you're making me suffer so much!
"Tsk. You're welcome," I said and then stood up. I grabbed my things and got ready. Tripp and I were here earlier, we were watching TV. Hehehe.
He was lying on my sofa. "Aren't you coming in?" I said to him.
Suddenly he stood up. "What time is your class?"
"10"
"Okay," he said and stood up. We walked towards the elevator. "What do you think? Should I move here too so we can be a wonder neighborhood?"
"Yes, that's right."
"No, I'm serious. What do you think?"
I wanted to answer yes, but then I suddenly remembered Pugits. It's hard! Later, it won't be enough to just hold Tripp's shoulder! Oh, how disgusting to think!
"Don't do it. Just go home," I told him. He seemed to be quiet after my answer, I'm sorry but... I don't want Pugita for you.
Tripp brought his car. Good thing! I don't want to ride his motorcycle! I'm going to have another bad hair day if I do!
I've arrived at the school. Haaay. We separated at the gate because the buildings we were going to were in different directions. It's a real hassle. Brent is so big, it makes me cry walking!
I only have two classes today. I'll be back home by 2. We're going to drop Dane off! Bubwit is going home. I'm going to miss that!
So, there you go, I went to my immortal ethics class. It ended before I knew it. It was so boring!! Grr. What does ethics have to do with my degree program, right?!
Next, we have a baking class, but the professor is not there, he has a conference. It's annoying! This is the only class I want, free cut! I'm about to cryl
Since all my classes were over, I left the campus and hailed a cab. It's okay too! More bonding time with brother. He leaves at 7 later.
"Baby bro!!" I said as I ran.
"Aish. So noisy," he said. He was reading a magazine, whatever it was.
"Grabel Why are you in a bad mood?"
He made me suffer. "You're not there anymore. Tsk. Why are you here?"
"Duh? We'll probably take you to the airport!"
"I'm not a kid, okay? You don't have to take me to the airport!" he said as he walked out.

What are you doing?!
Daddy was shaking his head when he walked towards me. He must have seen what Dane did. "Excuse me, you bastard," said daddy.
"Basted?!"
"Yes. Felice came here, worried about Dane. Don't tell her you know, huh? That would be cleaner."
Come on. Poor brother. It turned out that his first love was bastardized! I won't tease him anymore.
I went up to my room and slept for a while. I didn't sleep well last night because I was nervous when I woke up. Then I woke up in the morning. I must have slept for two hours because when I woke up, it was still 3 am.
My family went to the mall. Eat food and buy something to send to Nana. Hey I miss them too.
I don't know what food we made because we went to the mall by 6! haha All family bonding!
Daddy drove to the airport while dearest baby bro was still frowning, Terrible! What did Felice do here? I couldn't ask because I was too shy. Haaayy.
"Be careful there, huh?" I told him with a hug.
He hugged me too. "I will. Sorry for yelling at you earlier..."
"That's okay, what are you doing? Take care. I'll miss you right away!"
He laughed at me. "I know. I'll be back soon," he said. He also said goodbye to mommy and daddy and then he went inside.
Mommy and I returned to the car. "How's living alone, Alys?"
"Uhm, it's okay. Just new."
Nginitian ako ni mom. "You'll manage. By the way, I don't want monkey business, Alys. I know Drake's your neighbor, okay?"
I blushed at that! You're a monkey business, mommy! You didn't know it, but Drake and I have broken up, so... there will be no monkey business!
Too much traffic today. I arrived at the condo at 10 pm.
"Lock the door, okay?" sabi ni mommy.
"Alys, we're watching you. Don't mess up," said daddy.
"Okay, okay. Bye!" I said as I ran to the elevator.
Hahaha It's been a tiring day folks
When the lift arrived at the 19th floor..
"You've made me wait for 7 hours. You hate me that much?"
