NICHOLAS
It's thursday and today is the day that we are going to study together. We both decided to meet in a café at 10 and while I was waiting for Rosalyn I just read a few topics.
"Nicholas."
I look at Rosalyn and she smiled at me. She put down her things and sat in front of me.
"Hi."
"Hello."
"You're early."
"Yeah. I did buy some stuff and decide to go straight here."
"I see. So, did you already order?"
"Yeah, I also ordered you iced coffee and strawberry cake."
"Oh. Thank you, I'll pay you later."
I said and she nodded. She started to get her higlighter and ballpen.
"I'm not poor, Rosalyn."
"What, did I say you were?"
"What I mean is it was on me."
She just nodded her head and got her books. While she was busy putting highlights on her notebook our order was now being served. I just noticed that her handwriting was pretty and neat.
"Thank you."
While we were focused on our books, Jasmin suddenly showed up out of nowhere 
"Surprise, Rosalyn! Nicholas!"
"Jasmin, Hello. What are you doing here?"
"Are you not happy to see me?"
Her eyes widened and she shakes her head.
"I'm happy to see you! Yes, that is right. Why don't you take a seat?"
I secretly laugh at Rosalyn's reaction.
"Are you sure, you look disappointed though?"
"No, me? why would I?"
"I would be really sad if you do."
"Yeah. But I was really glad to see you today."
"Anyways, I see that you two already ordered. I'll just buy mine."
"Sure, we'll wait for you."
"Okay."
"Why didn't you tell me she was also coming?"
She asked as she watched Jasmin's back.
"I told her that we'll be meeting at the café near the Central district. I don't know how did she find us here. I thought a while ago you told this meeting to her."
"No, can't you tell that I'm surprised?"
And a bit disappointed too, it was all written in your face, Rosalyn. I almost said that out loud. But if I do it, I'm sure she would get embarrassed.
"Let's just leave her alone later,"
I suggested and she shook her head.
"Don't be like that to your cousin and we're here to study."
"If you say so."
When Jasmin was back we went silent again and continued to read. When it was already 11:45 we stopped and decided to eat lunch.
"I'm disturbing your date right?"
Jasmin asked while we were all putting our books in our bags.
"Huh?"
"We are not dating, Jas."
Said Rosalyn and Jasmin grinned.
"Then why are you two are having a lonely time here?"
"We're both studying." Rosalyn defended once again and Jasmin shook her head.
"Tsk, tsk. You won't be able to deceive me!"
"Whose deceiving who?"
"Heh."
"Jas stop it, your cousin won't like it if you continue to tease us."
She whispered that to Jasmin but I was still able to hear it. I cleared my throat and they both looked at me.
"Let's try the unlimited chicken wings there. It looks tasty."
I pointed the restaurant in front of us and they both nodded.
"Okay!"
After it was served the girls then took pictures of the food. It takes several shots since they keep on repeating it.
"Are you done now?"
I asked and they nodded.
"Finally, I can now eat my food. Haa."
"Sorry."
"Be thankful the chicken was still hot if not I won't eat this."
"Just do eat!"
Days passed and the day of the college entrance examination came. The four of us are going to take the exam at the same time but we do have different rooms. The examination started at 10 am and it ended at exactly 12 so after that they decided that we eat lunch at our house. After eating lunch Jasmin went to one of our guest rooms and slept there while Rosalyn was busy on her phone and Jasper was playing video games.
"Hello, yes I'm Rosalyn. Who is this?"
Our attention went to Rosalyn and after that, she mouthed Excuse me.
"No, I can't do that. I'm sorry you might call the wrong person."
After talking to that person on the phone Rosalyn then grabs her things immediately.
"What's wrong, Rosalyn?"
Jasper asked.
"Ah, that. I'm meeting a friend of mine. Yes, she's waiting for me so I need to go now."
"Okay. I'll call our driver."
"No need! I can just take a taxi. Thanks for today, I'll go now."
Then the next time we heard about Rosalyn is she was grounded and was not allowed to go outside even going to Jasmin's house. She was not online for a month and on the first day of school we were informed again by Uncle Jeff that Rosalyn would be studying with us.
"No one should ask Rosalyn why she was grounded for the whole month,"
Jasmin said that to the both of us. But then...
"We were so worried about you, because we didn't keep in touch for a month. I really miss you, Rosalyn. So, what is the reason why you get grounded?"
"Jasmin."
I sighed and shook my head. She was being strict telling us again and again that we should not ask about that but here we are.
"What? I want to know."
"I just got home late that night. I forgot to inform my daddy. Now, they both hired a driver for me that will bring and pick me up at the university on time."
"So, you won't be able to hang out in our house anymore?"
"I can still do it, but I need my daddies permission."
"Why did they give you a curfew?"
"I also don't know. Anyways let's now go inside the gymnasium, the orientation might start in a minute."
"Let's go and sit in front."
I pointed the vacant seats in front and we headed there. When we sat down I heard something.
"Have you seen the council president? Gosh, he's so handsome."
I looked at the girls who were talking loud beside me.
"Yes, it's kinda sad since he will step down from his seat."
"What are they talking about?"
Jasmin asked Rosalyn and she whispered it.
"A handsome council president."
"Oh, I see. He's already graduating that is why he was going to pass the position of president to someone."
"So, did you already see him?"
"Nope, the president was so busy and the only places he goes are the library, their office, and their designated rooms, and he rarely goes to the cafeteria."
"Oh, is he a loner?"
I almost laughed when Rosalyn asked that.
"I heard he had a bunch of friends outside the university."
"Students please remain quiet. We will start in a minute."
The professor said that and they started to project the presentation on a large screen.
"Good morning, students. I would like to start the program with a prayer so can we all stand."
After the prayer they introduced the professors, the president and the rest of the officers.
"Why are the orientation taking so long?"
"Now, please let's give the council president a round of applause."
"Thank you, Sir. Good Morning everyone. I would like to introduce myself, I'm Axel Leur Deogracia the president of the student council."
"Oh, I knew him."
My eyebrows raised and my attention was caught when Rosalyn said that.
"Really? How?"
"At the grocery store, he drops his wallet. My first impression of him was a man with few words. He was handsome up close."
"Ahh, you're so lucky to talk to him!"
Said Jasmin and shook Rosalyn.
"What's lucky about that?"
Jasper asked and Jasmin rolled her eyes. I nod my head, he is right.
"Shut up, you're just jealous."
"I'm still more handsome than him."
"Shut up Jasper, no one needs your comment."
I take a look at Rosalyn who was so focused and was listening carefully. So, does she like that council president?
