Chapter 3

Chia’s POV

After the three new students finished introducing themselves, they didn’t even wait for Professor Nero’s instructions. Instead, they casually walked toward the empty seats beside and behind me.

“Do you already have a seatmate?” Sivesco asked warmly while staring at me with curiosity.

I blinked at her, completely speechless for a moment.

“Let’s be friends?” she added with an excited smile.

“F-Friends?” I repeated awkwardly. “I mean… I don’t even know the three of you yet.”

“She has a point,” Synth said calmly while placing her things on the table beside me.

“Honestly, tama naman siya,” Kitana agreed while searching through her notebook.

“Fine, then let’s properly introduce oursel—”

Before Sivesco could finish speaking, Professor Nero cleared her throat loudly and started the discussion. All of us immediately focused on the lesson.

The lecture lasted for almost two hours. When the bell finally rang for break time, Sivesco quickly turned her chair toward me. She even coughed dramatically first, as if she was preparing for a speech.

“Okay! First, magpapakilala tayo nang maayos sa isa’t isa,” she declared proudly. “For example, I’m Sivesco Monroe, nineteen years old, turning twenty soon. And my parents are just normal people.”

“Monroe?” I repeated slowly. “That surname sounds familiar…”

“You know naman, maraming may same surname,” Sivesco said awkwardly while laughing. “Malay mo, distant relatives lang kami no’n.”

I stared at her from head to toe before coughing lightly.

“Okay… I guess I’m next.” I let out a deep sigh. “I’m Mychia Carrington, nineteen years old… and I have a boyfriend.”

Honestly, I didn’t even know why I suddenly mentioned that.

“BOYFRIEND?!” Sivesco almost shouted in shock.

“A lover?!” Kitana gasped dramatically while covering her mouth.

“That’s nice,” Synth said in her usual calm tone. “How long have you been together?”

I think she was actually happy for me, although her expression barely changed. That girl seriously looked like a human stone statue.

“He’s a senior. Three years na kami… magfo-four years soon,” I answered softly.

“Wow… so ikaw pala ang may successful love life sa atin,” Sivesco teased while Kitana and even Synth started giggling because of her exaggerated reaction.

“So, who’s next?” I asked.

“I’m Eranthe Kaliea Vexia Sinclair,” Kitana said proudly while leaning back in her chair and crossing her arms. “Simple lang naman family namin… medyo extra lang talaga kami. But just call me Kitana.”

Then Synth calmly fixed her posture before speaking.

“Soravia Yvonne Athanasia Hawthorne. Synth for short. There’s nothing much to know about me,” she said flatly. “But I’m good at fighting. Kitana and I are childhood friends because our mothers are best friends.”

As expected, she barely talked.

Minutes passed while we continued chatting, and strangely enough, the emptiness I usually felt slowly started disappearing.

Well… mostly because Sivesco never let the conversation die for even one second.

“Do you guys already have dorms?” she suddenly asked. “Because honestly, ayoko mag-dorm nang mag-isa.”

I crossed my arms while thinking for a moment.

“My grandmother bought me a house near the school,” I replied casually. “Half a mile away lang.”

Suddenly, Kitana slammed both of her hands on the table, making the three of us jump.

“CAN WE LIVE WITH YOU?!” she blurted out excitedly. “If okay lang naman?”

I blinked at her energetic reaction before laughing softly.

“Sure. I still have three extra rooms anyway.”

The moment I finished speaking, Sivesco immediately stood up and hugged me tightly.

“You’re the best, Chia!” she squealed dramatically.

“So after school, lilipat na kami,” Synth added calmly. “Nasa faculty office pa kasi luggage namin.”

“Sure,” I replied with a small smile. “I’ll help you guys move into my house.”

And for the first time in years…

I smiled genuinely.

Maybe this was fate.

Because after years of loneliness, God suddenly gave me not one… but three people who slowly filled the emptiness inside me.

I used to think I would never have real friends.

But somehow… these three girls changed that without even trying.
