Four months into varsity life, the air on campus is filled with a mix of stress and excitement. Exams are just a few days away, and everyone is in full study mode. Lisa, Angela, and Anna have made it a habit to meet in the library after classes, diving deep into their law books and notes. Pedro sometimes joins them, but more often than not, he and Lisa find themselves studying alone in a quieter corner of the library, stealing small moments in between flipping through cases and legal principles.
Lisa enjoys these moments with Pedro—his presence makes studying less overwhelming. Sometimes, they exchange soft whispers, share inside jokes, and even hold hands under the table when no one is looking. The way he explains complex legal concepts to her with so much patience only makes her fall for him more.
Meanwhile, Angela's relationship is blossoming. After much contemplation, she decided to give her admirer a chance, and she has no regrets. Between studying and spending time with her boyfriend, she feels happier than ever. Anna, too, has her hands full, balancing books and love, though she always makes time for their study group.
As the days pass, the pressure of exams looms larger. Lisa tries her best to stay focused, but every now and then, she finds herself lost in thoughts of Pedro—not just about their studies, but about their growing bond.
On one particular evening, after hours of studying, Pedro leans in and whispers, "You're going to ace this exam, Lisa. I believe in you."
She smiles, feeling a rush of warmth. "I hope so. Law is no joke."
Pedro chuckles. "Neither am I. And I promise, after exams, we're celebrating. Just you and me."
Lisa's heart flutters. The thought of a private celebration with him is enough motivation to push through the final stretch before exams begin.
