Chapter 1

"Hurry up, Roseanne!" Irritates my friend's promise to me.

I sighed as I arranged the things I needed as I entered. Fortunately, I don't have any duty now because if there is, I will be burdened with the things I will bring.

My friend was watching me as I was arranging things. She had been standing there at the door of the room before and she had just finished getting dressed and preparing her things. She was just waiting for me, this woman was still very impatient.

She is Samantha, my friend and roommate in the condo where I live. I don't think we broke up with this woman anymore.

Since we met kinder. We've always been together this way and until now in college we're still together! We are both at the same university. We are six friends and the other four are in another university. Where they study.

Annoyed, I looked at my friend. Why is she rushing me? Does she have a date? Or will there be income at our university? Isn't she telling me something?

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have a date?! The next morning you rush me to what I'm doing! Later on, I forgot to put something in my backpack!" irritate I promise here.

She stood up properly and arranged her backpack which was already attached to her back and holding her project. 

"It's up to you! I still have to hand over the project plates I made this morning," she said while turning her back, signaling that she was really going to leave me.

Nervous, I picked up my backpack and comb to fix my hair, which I haven't fixed since I fixed my equipment.

"You're nervous, aren't you?" Samantha asked when I caught up with her on the elevator. To go to the parking lot. That is the service we enter every day at our university.

I smiled and shook her in response but the truth is I was very nervous. The seminar and exam are coming up and all I know is that the seminarians are strict and strict.

Just a little bit wrong you will be told or scolded and I may even lose my scholar when I no longer pass the course I took. I am a scholarship student at the university I am attending and I am nervous about losing my scholarship.

"Tss! Don't deny it anymore. I know when you're nervous and when you're not, " she shook her head at me. I just smiled at her.

The two of us are in the second year of college and so are my four friends, in case the six of us took a different course. And I have been studying here at Little Star University for over 4 years and 4 months. And all I can say is it's very difficult.

It is very difficult to be a college student because you have to interact with different classmates in every subject you have. And you also need to get along with professors who are also different per subject. I didn't even know how I was going to survive in this situation of mine. 

Fortunately, in my other subjects, my classmates were my former classmates. So when I don't understand something I ask for help. I'm not as smart as others. I'm not as stupid as others. Just kidding!

I'm only a little smart and I'm also a little stupid. As long as you know that. It seems that your IQ is really correct to understand the lessons.

"Ahh! Yes, by the way, after your afternoon class, you don't have a class, do you? And duty?" My friend suddenly asked when we got to our university. "And I don't have much to do this afternoon. So I can drink or go for a walk," she added.

I was stunned by what he said and slowly turned to him as I heard the most mysterious thing in my hearing.

"Drink? Hang out? Where?" I asked her.

"At Ellaine and Kierra's favorite bar. At Pop Star Park."

My eyebrows met immediately when he told me which bar to drink at. Why is it there? Is there nothing else we can drink? To love so much wine there.

Tss! It's really different when it's bigtime. Those two women are really very extravagant at any time. As soon as it came to the bar, Ellaine and Kierra were our sponsors.

They are the most gallant of the six of us. They can afford the expensive wine they want to taste or drink. I can't deny that it's delicious when alcohol is expensive and it's also delicious to drink, just in case it has a bad effect on your health when you drink too much..

"Why there? Is there no one else? Isn't that a distance and then the drinks there are so expensive, ah!" I said irritably.

"I do not know. To our two friends. They told me that it was better there because there were many handsome people and there were also many who could be flirted with there. And then we haven't had a drink together for a few days! And I haven't been watered for a few days! It's not a bad thing if I get bored somehow," she told me softly.

I was shaken and rolled my eyes because of what he said and the way he spoke. I also admit to flirting but only slightly. It's not like my friends every day, I guess.

"Besides, don't complain about that! Because they both answered the cost! You've made your miserliness a woman again!" She growled at me.

Stingy right away? Can't I just save money? I can't be as rich or as rich as their family in life. I was just in the middle of the rich and very poor.

Yes! I'm actually the most stingy of our six. I will not deny it. Because it's true. I didn't speak anymore because I only lost to him when we were still arguing.

When we entered the gate of the university Samantha and I separated from the building. Architecture is his course and mine is medicine, so we are really different buildings.

The afternoon came and my class was over. It's exhausting to do this every day. But it's fun because even though the subjects are tiring and stressful, I enjoy it.

I went to our canteen to buy my favorite ice cream cookies n cream. Then I go to my tambayan where I can breathe the fresh air of our garden. There I often go or hang out. 

"Are you done with your class?" A creature asked. I didn't think about it because I knew it was just my friend.

She knows where I am often here at our university. So she could easily find me when she didn't see me in our building. Here I often hang out in the garden.

"Hmm," my only answer to this while continuing to eat my ice cream.

"How is your day? It's tiring to be an architecture student," Samantha said with a sigh.

Who doesn't feel tired when in college? And stress? Maybe all college students feel that way.

"What do you think?" I asked rudely. I don't want everyone to disturb me while I'm eating. 

"You are a rude woman. Moody? You have? It's like I'm just asking, eh," she promised me calmly.

She is my closest friend. This is how we are often treated but we get along.

"Come on! We'll pick them up from Aaliyah and Franchesca at their university. We might be in traffic if we stay here longer," she said. 

My forehead furrowed. Don't they have a car? All I know is that every friend of mine has own car. I was the only one left. Why would they even reconcile? 

"Why? Why should we fetch them? That will get us even further away. You're really spending five! Learn to save at least once. What a waste of money that Tita and Tito are struggling with. Oh my ghad!" I promised Samantha this stress but she just laughed at me until we could get in her car.

As far as I know, I am the youngest of our six friends, but if I could speak, I would be better than their mother or older sister. Samantha ignored my sermons to her until we picked up two of our friends who were also at the same university. They were there together.

"Hey! What are you listening to, huh?!" I sighed at my two friends.

"What is that, Roseanne! Maybe you can keep your mouth shut? You hurt my ear!" Aaliyah growled back at me.

"Yes, Roseanne! The pain in the ear to hear the voice! Maybe you can keep quiet somehow? That's what you're shouting about, that's what you keep quiet about when you're flirting with someone!" Franchesca also growled at me. I'm really not going to win over my friends.

"It's not really your thing to be a doctor in the future. You know what? It's really up to you to be a lawyer, you're too lazy, eh," Samantha said with a laugh. It's okay if you help me..

"Hey! You two. I hear you two are flirting. There at your university. How is it? Heaven?" I asked Aaliyah and Franchesca.

"Eh, what else, Roseanne. Natural heaven watered my flower, eh, " Aaliyah promised me. 

Tss! What else can I expect here from this woman? My promise lingers in my mind. I turned to Franchesca as she did not answer my question.

"Hahaha! Don't ask that, Roseanne. She was haunted by what she was carrying," Aaliyah laughed so I laughed out loud as well as Samantha. Isn't it? Franchesca the ghost? That seems very impossible, isn't it?

"When! Is it true? Hahaha!" I laughed in front of Franchesca. I can't believe she's a ghost.. 

"Are you teasing me?" Franchesca asked me angrily so I stopped laughing out loud. Samantha and I also stopped laughing. Eh, because I can't believe she is haunted. "Tss! You're later than me when you're drunk. I'll find you something to eat later. The more courage you have when you are drunk. My news to Ellaine is that people from Saint Mary Heart University are often there," she said smiling at me. I was devastated by what she said.

"Oh, I don't like SMHU people. Those are rich, I don't want rich people. When they are rich, they are cheaters." I immediately refused. He looked at me with an expression of shock and astonishment.

"Hey! Don't be choosy, Roseanne. You don't want that. When you marry a rich man, you won't suffer in the future. Let your life go! You can not work. Besides, all I'm saying is just flirt and I'm not flirting with the one you want to be forever. Hey! Nowadays there are no sensible men. They are all fooling around. Unless you can find a sober one but it's very impossible to find one!" She growled at me.

She was the most bitter of our friends. She said she does not believe there is forever in this world. She said he did not believe that it existed in the world she lived in. Of course I wouldn't blame her if that's what she believes.

Franchesca and I even argued about men. Until we realized that mami had arrived at Pop Star Park. This is how we are when we are always arguing together that you think we are like brothers arguing over something. But she can be trusted when you are going through a difficult time in life. She is there to help you.

The Pop Star Park we were going to was like just a park. But there are many who sell anything here. You can buy a lot here. Ellaine and I have a university near here so there are many SMHU students here. When they are vacant or when their class is over, most of the SMHU people hang out here. So there are a lot of students here today.

To my knowledge I have only been here three times for a drink. Because my friends and I often drank in the condos of our six. I don't even know why Ellaine suddenly agreed to drink here. Besides, we only go out like this when Ellaine and Kierra are having a drink. They are our sponsors of wine that we can't afford.

The four of us wore jackets. As far as we know, eh, uniformed people are not allowed to come here, especially during such hours. We always carry a jacket when we go to school.

So are Franchesca and Aaliyah. Almost all of our friends have a hobby that we bring a jacket with when we enter. We have been doing this since we met from kindergarten, elementary, senior high and until the six of us went to college.

When we entered Pop Star Park we immediately saw our two friends Ellaine and Kierra at a table not far away. There is also wine on the table and there are meals as well. Maybe they're done with their work so they're getting ready to drink or maybe they don't have any projects and assignments to do..

"I thought you would never come four. Traffic?" Ellaine asked as we reached the table where they were.

"Yes, traffic to Aaliyah's university so we were late," Samantha replied.

"Why do you think you ordered so much wine? What is this? San Mig Light?" I asked as the four of us sat down with Samantha.

I thought I would be able to taste expensive wine. Ellaine and Kierra are the ones who actually buy our drinks. They are the ones who spend.

"Don't be choosy Ms. Kuri." Kierra teased me funny.

So I winced at what she said. Will they please if I'm stingy? I ignored them and without saying a word I picked up the San Mig Light. No choice.

There are other wines that Kierra and Ellaine ordered. I don't know what kind of wines they bought. The only ones I know about the ones I bought were San Mig Light and Gin Bar.

I'm not going to drink so I don't know the name of the other wine on our table today. They were already talking about the man. Of the men they beat up or the ones they met at the university we were attending, six of us.

"Hey! Franchesca, you said you were handsome. You are telling that to our gc. What now? Tell us about what happened to you pogi that you told us in the group chat," Ellaine said suddenly so I spilled the wine I was drinking and laughed out loud.

Samantha and Aaliyah did the same and we laughed out loud. So Kierra and Ellaine looked at us in amazement. They don't even know what happened to Franchesca.

"Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny about what I asked?" Ellaine asked us in surprise. So we laughed even louder. We didn't care if other people close to us looked at us because of the strength of our laughter.

We wouldn't have stopped if Franchesca hadn't looked at us so badly that you thought people would kill. We just changed the topic because Franchesca kala Ellaine doesn't seem to want to let her know what happened to her. We still continue to talk.

"Oh, yes, by the way Roseanne Margaret! Don't you have no lover? Or like now?" Kierra asked me suddenly.

I shook my head in response while not looking at her as I was pouring wine into my glass. 

"I'm going to tell you something!" So I looked at it and so did Samantha. I did not speak and waited for what she would say next. "It's like you're going to be watered. Look to our right."

I was stunned by what she said. It's okay. But I still followed what Kierra said. Looking at the point, I saw a group sitting to our right. If I am not mistaken they are all ten men. I think they are also friends like us or they are just classmates. I'm not sure. 

"Who would you like to match with Roseanne? So we can see if it's okay in bed or not." Samantha asked with a laugh.

I'm just shaken by what they say. Are they really my friends? Why do I seem to be the only normal of our six? Their mouths are unfiltered. Oh my ghad!

"The handsome one is wearing black,"Kierra answered Samantha's question. That's why my eyes searched for what Kierra said. But my forehead furrowed when I realized they were all black.

"They're all black, stupid!" Franchesca sighed at the same time against her. 

"Tss! Can you finish me first? He's wearing a black hat!" Kierra added angrily. 

I simply glanced at what she said and when I saw what Kierra was saying. She was right, but the man who just arrived was the one who competed more for my attention. I looked at him intently as he drank the wine from my glass.

It looks black and has messy hair, its hairdo is just right for his posture. He was wearing a long sleeve black and pants that were also black. His dress is simple but it grabs attention.

He also has a watch that wears black, maybe he likes black or maybe he likes it. Even the shoes he was wearing were also black. I wish I could laugh out loud e. It was as if he was going to the hill. Pure black.

I was just shaken by my thoughts and talked to my friends. But I couldn't help but look back at the man I was looking at earlier. I don't know what's wrong with me and I can't help but glance at it.

But I was stunned by a group of women who had just arrived. The man I had been looking at stood up to help a woman sit in her seat.

I looked away and frowned. What the heck! I think he still has a girlfriend. Sh*t! I close my eyes to my thoughts. What is happening to me? 

"Hey! Roseanne, are you okay? Why do you think so badly at the other table that I pointed out to you by the group of men?" Kierra asked me at the same time against the weak. 

I felt myself. My forehead furrowed and my eyebrows met. I wonder at the expression on my face.

"Huh? No, ah." I refused.

Until we ran out of drinks, we went home because Kierra and Ellaine, who were free of alcohol, had left. There was no one to buy wine so the four of us just went home.

The next morning, I woke up early. To enter and submit the project I did. I then went through the LS hospital to pass the medical chart I had to give to the head doctor.

I took the elevator to go to the fourth floor. That's where the head doctor's office is. To provide the medical chart. Case without the head doctor allegedly did not enter so. I have no reason to stay here because I am also not on duty today.

I took the elevator and the elevator was about to close when a hand stopped me. When I looked at who it was my lips parted and the eyes looking at him widened.

I can't mistake him for that. He's the one I look up to at Pop Star Park. What is he doing here? Why is he here? I backed away when he entered. So he was in front of me and I was behind.

I looked at him again. Just like yesterday, he turned all black again. Does he go to a hill every day? He was handsome up close. He looked in the mirror again and his hair was messy again.

I inhaled the scent of his lingering scent. The smell of him. What kind of perfume is he buying? It's as addictive as it smells. I was relieved when he turned to me. I swallowed and looked away from him. He must have felt me ​​smelling him and watching him. 

When the elevator opened I immediately got out. It came out as well. And he seems to be following me. Tss! Roseanne, don't assume she might be going home too so don't be under the illusion!

He was stopped by a woman who stopped in front of him. She is the woman he helped sit down yesterday. Why are they here? Would you please Roseanne if they were here?

Out of curiosity to know what the two of them were talking about I slowed down. I know I look like a fool but I can't understand myself.

"Dr. Dela Vega done your duty? Are you going home now?" The woman asked. I couldn't wait for Mr. Pop Star Park to answer. I didn't listen anymore because they might notice that I was listening to them. 

Doctor? Is he a doctor? Duty? Is he here on duty? At the LS hospital? At our university hospital. 

Dela Vega is his last name. His last name belongs to him. It's cool!
