Author’s POV

A week later, everything is back to normal, although the issue of the tragedy that happened that night in Sta. Monica.

Even Maxine is slowly getting up as well. yet the girl held on to what Lucas said .. that it would come back. The young man dropped out and since the day he said goodbye to her he has not spoken to her again.

Henry also apologized to Maxine as well as his companion. they said they regret what they did and in return they will leave the University.

"Hey girl, when that picture of Lucas speaks, you'll be scared." language of the maiden's friend, Meghan. He was busy arranging the equipment, they had just finished their class in Research 1.“You stare at that every day. Maybe you have already entered the screen of your cellphone. ”

Maxine whistled and arranged the things as well.

"Could you, Megz, in my picture you can just see him against me."

“Tsk, you're sick. Did you reject ‘di ba ..? So what’s the point? ”

"Yes. Do you want to be reminded? And then it will come back. ”

“Oh no, don't copy anymore. With so many beautiful women in Prague, don’t you think that’s tempting? ”

"Are you really friends?" Maxine frowned.

"Of course, that's why I'm telling you right now because I don't want you to be hurt."

Maxine didn't speak anymore, her friend had a point. He just stood up and left the room. The friend followed.

"But I can't move on," he admitted. It's thrilling, it's still broken. ” then Meghan spoke.

“I don't know about you ..! The trouble you are talking about. ” Maxine's annoyed language made the friend laugh.

The two went straight to the canteen after leaving the building. They still had one more hour free so they decided to canteen.

"You know, Max .. until now I still can't believe what I saw that night. It's a nightmare. ”

"You know that's not the first time I've seen something like that."

Meghan suddenly became interested in what Maxine had said. “What? What do you mean? When? ”

"At an acquaintance party."

“Really? Then, what happened? ”

"Lucas and I had an accident that night. So I don’t know what happened next. I just woke up one morning in Lucas' room. ”

“It's amazing. Where are they from? Maybe they have something to do with Miss Macalisang's story? ”

"Hi girls!"

The conversation between the two was interrupted by the arrival of Hevo.

"Hi!" Meghan.

"H-hi ..!" Maxine's smile was also sparing.

"What are you talking about?" curiosity of the young man who sat on the side between the two maidens.

“Nothing. Girls' talk. ” Meghan answered.

"I see." the young man turned to Maxine. "Uhm, can I take you home after class?"

"Huh, k-kasi .."

“Yes, you can take him! For sure, it will be difficult to go home later. ”

Maxine's eyes widened at the friend but he just shrugged. Sometimes he couldn't understand it if earlier it was more votes, if it was Luke or Hevo.

"Can I?" Hevo asked Maxine again.

"All right ..." Maxine just nodded. What else can he do?

"Thanks ..!" the young man said with a wide smile.

AFTER Maxine's afternoon class, Hevo took her to the mansion where she worked.

"Thank you, Hevo." Maxine smiled. He got out of the car and so did Hevo.

"My pleasure .."

"I'll go first."

"All right."

Maxine was about to enter when Hevo called her again.

"Why?" Maxine asked.

“Can I invite you out some other time?”

Maxine can't seem to answer that question. Hevo is his friend .. he doesn't want to hurt him if possible, but he also doesn't want to expect it.

"Don't worry, just a friendly date." the young man smiled. “I know I can't replace him in your heart. But please don't deprive me of being with you. ”

Draw a hesitant smile on Maxine's lips. "Sorry hah."

“Oh, please don’t. That will only hurt me more, eh. ”

Maxine was tempted to let out a sigh of relief, hoping that by doing so, at least the weight she was feeling would ease.

"I'm just kidding." suddenly Hevo spoke, his voice encouraged. That's when Maxine looked up. "Oo na ba 'yan?"

"You're annoying ..." but Maxine said.

“Sorry. so what? ” Hevo grinned, smiling at it.

"Okay ..."

“Alright! Bye Maxine ..! ”

Shake as Maxine entered the gate. He couldn't wait for Hevo to leave. Somehow the weight he was carrying was reduced. He didn't have to be faithful to the young man anymore. and at least, he knew that only a friend could give for it.

Unbeknownst to the girl were the two pairs of eyes watching them, grinning.

Maxine’s POV

BITBIT the bed covers I climbed upstairs. Even before I finally reached the entrance, Miss Beatriz greeted me.

"Oh, hi Maxine!" its greeting in a sarcastic tone. It blocked in front of me so I stopped as well. “I have heard that Lucas dropped out of school. How sad naman. maybe he realized that you shouldn't waste time. ”

"I'm sorry, Miss Beatriz, but I don't have time to fight with you."

He smiled wryly and crossed his arms.

"So sorry too, dear .. but I have no plans to touch you .. you and your Mother."

I was shaken by the narrowness of its brain. When will it mature? And what will it benefit me?

"I don't think you're well yet .. it looks like your brain is damaged." I barely bumped into Miss Beatriz because it was blocking.

"The nerve ..!"

it suddenly grabbed my hair. I let go of those carry -ons and accents that were held in the hair held by Miss Beatriz.

“Bwesit na Bwesit na ako sayong babae ka. You should be taught a lesson! ”

“My father, Miss Beatriz what is it ..! Let go of me! ” I backed away from where it would pull my hair.

“Ah-ah. No, no, no! Not until I’m done with you! ” Miss Beatriz's language was a bit funny, she seemed to still enjoy pulling my hair and I tried to crawl on the railing .. “All right! Fight! Fight!"

I clung so tightly to the railing of the stairs, I struggled to resist it. I had a chance to hold Miss Beatriz's hand. Impit I turned towards it, endured the pain of the scalp and kept up. Wherever we go when the two of us wrestle. all the space seemed to be occupied, until Miss Beatriz stumbled.

"Miss Beatriz!" my eyes widen as I look at it. It fell down the stairs.

"What's going on, Maxine ...?" suddenly Señiora appeared. It looks like it just came out of the room. my mouth cracked as I looked down at my chin, my knees trembling. Señiora also looked down, and that's how she reacted. “Oh, my God. Beatriz ?! ”

Señiora quickly went downstairs and went to Miss Beatriz.

"Beatriz ?!" full of concern he said that the Son was still shaking on the shoulder. "Son, wake up ...!"

"I'm not at fault ..." I said in fear as the tears began to fall. Señiora looked at my behavior. I knew the anger I saw in its eyes despite the liquids that flowed from there. "What are you doing? What did you do to my Son ?! ”

I cried all the time. This is the first time the old man has shouted at me. "I didn't mean to .. I'm not at fault ..!"

"Oh my God, what happened ?!" exclaimed Mom who had just arrived. And like Señiora, Miss Beatriz was shocked.

"Call an ambulance, now!"

"Yes!"

"Sorry ..!" I whispered between cries and cupped my face in my palms.

I hope Miss Beatriz is okay. I hope I don't just repeat it. If I had just let it go, I wish it hadn’t been disgraced. I can’t forgive myself when something bad happens here. I'm scared.
