“What instructions did he give you—are you going to text him or call him?” Pauline asked in quick succession as they walked toward the CAS building.

“He didn’t say anything. Anyway, Pau, just leave it. Let’s just go see him so I can get this over with,” Celeste replied, ending the topic.

“Okay, sure. I’ll just be on the bench outside. I’ll wait for you,” Pauline told her.

Celeste glanced at Pauline and smiled. “Even though you always argue with me when it comes to Sir Marcus, you’re still here for me,” she said, grinning widely, followed by a soft laugh.

Pauline just laughed at that. “After your presentation, let’s eat,” she suggested.

“Sure, no problem. Let’s have pancit at the canteen, my treat,” Celeste answered.

A sweet smile spread across Pauline’s lips. Honestly, despite all the times Pauline sided with Marcus, it never changed the fact that she was still Celeste’s closest friend.

“Do your best, okay?” Pauline encouraged.

Celeste simply nodded at her friend, then knocked on the

    “You seem happy tonight, hija,” Salvador remarked, his eyes crinkling slightly as he glanced up from his plate. His tone was gentle, tinged with curiosity, as if trying to catch a glimpse of the reason behind her unusually bright mood. Dinner was quiet around them, the soft clatter of utensils and low hum of conversation from the household blending into the background, giving the moment an intimate, peaceful feeling.A sweet smile spread across Celeste’s lips, warm and unrestrained. “It’s because I got a good grade on my Biology presentation earlier, Lolo. That’s why I’m happy,” she said, her voice brimming with joy. The pride in her achievement seemed to radiate from her, and she felt a lightness she hadn’t realized she’d been missing. It wasn’t just the grade—it was the validation, the acknowledgment from someone she respected, and the excitement of seeing her efforts come to fruition.Salvador’s eyes flickered with a brief, gentle light of happiness at her words. He tilted his pl

    Pauline tilted her head slightly, her broad smile radiating amusement and subtle warning at the same time. “Your Grandfather might get mad,” she said thoughtfully, pausing to let the weight of her words sink in. “You know, being a Congressman isn’t a joke. And you, as his granddaughter—” she stopped mid-sentence, letting the unspoken words hang between them like a gentle tease. There was a glint of mischief in Pauline’s eyes, a playful way of testing Celeste’s curiosity without revealing everything.Celeste’s eyebrows shot up in surprise, her confusion evident. “What?” she asked, leaning slightly forward, her voice carrying a mix of intrigue and disbelief. Her heart began to race ever so slightly, the sudden tension making the mundane surroundings of the canteen feel charged with suspense. She couldn’t deny that something important was hidden in Pauline’s pause, something she desperately wanted to know, yet didn’t yet have the courage to fully demand.A surge of curiosity overwhelmed

    “Wow, your grade is so high! Honestly, I kind of regret not seeing your presentation,” Pauline said with a cheerful smile, her eyes lighting up as she spoke. There was a warmth in her tone that made Celeste feel instantly at ease, as if all the stress from preparing for the presentation had melted away. Pauline’s excitement was contagious, and Celeste couldn’t help but grin, feeling a flutter of pride at her accomplishment.They made their way to the canteen, carrying their trays of pancit, following through on the plan they had made earlier. The bustling noise of students chatting and utensils clinking didn’t bother them; instead, it seemed to fade into the background as they shared a quiet sense of satisfaction over the morning’s events. The smell of freshly cooked noodles filled the air, but Celeste barely noticed it—her mind was still buzzing from the presentation and the unexpected praise.“I honestly didn’t expect him to react that way either,” Celeste admitted, her cheeks warm

    “Oh, why do you look so sleepy?” Pauline asked as soon as she saw Celeste the next morning in their classroom.Their first class wasn’t actually that early—it was at ten in the morning. But Celeste had stayed up late the night before because she had been busy preparing her presentation for Sir Marcus’s class.“I went to bed late last night because I finished the presentation for Sir Marcus’s subject,” she admitted, then let out an uncontrollable yawn.Pauline sat down and replied, teasingly, “Looks like the tide is finally turning, huh?”Celeste immediately froze. She knew exactly where Pauline was going with that comment, but since she wasn’t in the mood for teasing today, she chose to pretend she didn’t hear anything. Honestly, she was just getting tired of constantly defending herself because Pauline never seemed to believe her.“But you’re lucky because Sir Marcus is kind and gave you a chance.”When she remained silent, she heard Pauline say this again as she flipped through the

    “That’s good to hear. I’m sure your grandfather will be pleased to hear those words from you,” Mang Damian said warmly, a genuine smile spreading across his face. His tone carried a mix of pride and relief, as if he could sense that Celeste was beginning to open up and embrace her new environment. Celeste felt a small flicker of comfort in his words, knowing that her grandfather’s approval meant a lot not only to him but also to her. The simple affirmation from Mang Damian made the long journey feel a little lighter, as if the weight of her worries had momentarily lessened.The trip from SJU to the mansion took about an hour, the roads winding through familiar neighborhoods and stretches of greenery. Because they had to drop off Pauline along the way, the travel time stretched a bit longer than usual, giving Celeste more moments to reflect quietly. She chose to keep herself occupied by gazing out the window, watching the scenery blur past—trees swaying gently in the breeze, cars movi
