"Curse?" Mary Francis asks.

Do you remember the peanut butter that you gave me, it suddenly got lost in my fridge and do you know where I saw your peanut butter, Aljon stole that from me." She said while looking at Aljon.

"No, I didn't do that, I asked you if I can get some. and you said, yes, I just forgot to put it back in your fridge. "Aljon said.

"Oh, you're there. I didn't see you, [she raised her eyebrows] Wait, where's the buko pie?" Mary Francis asked.

"You're so rude, Maldita!" Aljon said while Ava laughed at them. While Mary Francis saw Tess and Gina already eating the Buko pie.
