"Ali what happened!" I screamed and called her name, the camera started playing as she ran towards me from the pool.  "Ate, help my goggles fall in the pool!" she said and pulled me frantically.  "I see, where did you drop it?" I asked.  "There!" she said and pointed at the deepest part of the pool.  "Ok, don't worry, Ate's going to get it," I said and tousled her hair.  I dived into the pool and quickly found the goggles laying on the corner. I successfully brought it back to the floor and as soon as I rose up from the pool, standing on the near edge of it, I heard a voice.  

 A day had passed, and it seems her parents are not oblivious to Matty's sudden disappearance. Truthfully, they already had a clue where she might've been so they didn't opt to call the police as it could alert Mariano who has enormous connections in the police hierarchy.  I really wish to tell Irene yesterday that I'm Caroline but the situation doesn't call for it. Also, she is already busy coordinating with Black Wolf about the transfer of her parents' grave here in Capital City. I think I should put that on hold for now, what's important right now is Matty's safety.  I went to the campus earlier to double check but it seems that she really had been missing for two days. I also didn't go to the campus for almost two days, and also a few more days before that. But no one seems to care, well that doesn't matter

 "M-Matty!" I screamed in astonishment.  Truly I was happy to see her that moment. Her caramel skin, her brownish hair. Those eyes that glimmer like an amethyst crystal. She is a breath of fresh air.  However, seeing a group of guards surrounding her made me a bit reserved so I wished not to bother her. But before I could even excuse myself, I was suddenly ambushed by a warm hug from Matty.  That moment I figured out that she needed me right now, so I hugged her back, "I missed you, girl!"  "Me too!"  "Miss Matty…" a PSG suddenly voiced out her concern.  

 We soon arrived, and the place did not disappoint. It's cozy enough to be comfortable yet still brimming with sophistication. When we walked towards the entrance, a lady happily escorted us to our tables, and saw three familiar faces who had already arrived before us. "Tatay, you're already here!" I said, sitting beside him. On the other hand, the others quickly chose their own seats and with the awkward silence, all stared at each other like they were trying to discern what the others had in mind.  "Thank you for inviting us to such a dinner, Mayor Fernandez… *cough*. I hope we will be able to maintain the prosperity of the city, even in the future," I said and tried to raise my glass.  Suddenly, Matty, who was situated on my left, escaped a l

 We took the ride home, and Jaiden suddenly glanced at me for a moment. He quickly turned ahead and focused on the road, "Mimi, about earlier… when you said that you were not ready yet…. You are not rejecting me, haven't you? I mean, you are saying that I still have a chance with you in the near future."  To be honest, I was startled by his question, but I tried to answer him nonetheless, "Wait, Jaiden, why did you suddenly ask," I said. "Well, I'm quite anxious…. I'm not sure if you want me to wait for you to clear your thoughts or you wanted me to let go. I want to know if you think that we could become more than friends." When I heard that, I realized that it was going to be unfair to let him wait for me in vain. So I need to give hi
