7:00pm
Nami
I wasted another hour loitering in the park. Just contemplating about the current happenings.
Nami
I have this absurd mission for a hundred days with my life at risk and I have to comply with my relatives' will to go abroad.
Nami
I have to study there and meet a childhood friend whom I barely know. I wonder why can't I remember him.
Nami
There's no point of rebellion, it'll only complicate things. Glad to have myself cooled down.
Shevi
"Nami! Grrr! I found you too!"
Nami looked back and saw Shevi approaching her. The girl's forehead was furrowed, which surprised Nami.
Nami
"She..."
Shevi
"You witch! Josh didn't ask me to come! Ugh! I hate you."
Besides, Nami just remembered what happened in the past.
Nami
"Sorry." I sincerely said that made Shevi confused. She must've sense it.
Shevi
"Wait, you seemed off today. Is there something wrong?"
Nami slowly grinned, hoping that Shevi won't mind her reaction a moment ago.
Nami
"Got you! Haha. I'm just kidding."
Shevi
"Ugh! You really are a bad trip!"
Nami
"Oi! It hurts! Wait a minute, Shevi...hahaha!"
Shevi
"No! That's not enough! Ugh! Don't avoid me!"
After a while, the two of them got tired from running and Shevi just sat down on the bench.
Shevi
"Okay, go ahead. I'll stop now. Haha."
Shevi
"By the way, what are you doing here? Gabi na ah. It's a very unusual sight to see you in this kind of place at this hour."
Nami
"I'm just contemplating about random things. Actually, I'm going home if you hadn't yelled at me."
Shevi
"Your fault, I was utterly embarrassed in front of Josh."
Nami
"I sincerely apologize for that, She. Peace na tayo!"
Nami
But the end justifies the means. You're safe, Shevi.
Nami
And now, I have to accomplish the task. With less than 3 hours left. This is impossible.
Shevi
"That's okay, at least I saw him. Haha.
Nami
Unless...I'll ask Shevi to help? Since he's not aware of What? and he's not involved in the punishment either.
Nami
"She, can you help me with one thing? I really want to revise ALAB University. I'm going to make Justin the villain in the story."
Shevi
"What? Are you crazy? Wait, do you have a fever?"
Nami shook her head but Shevi still pat her forehead to check her temperature.
Nami
I knew it. It was weird for him that I suddenly turned Justin into a villain, because I have a huge crush on him.
Nami
Ugh, I have no choice Shevi.
Nami
"Well, that's what I thought was the plot twist."
Shevi
"Hmm, if that's what you want. Sure. But I'll edit at the comshop. So I can see Josh again. Bwahahaha!"
Nami
"Fine. But I have a condition. We must finish it in less than 3 hours."
Shevi
"Deal!"
Nami
Two can play a game Null. It wasn't stated in the rule that it is forbidden to seek help from former victims of tasks.
Nami
I can't seek help from Stell and Pablo. They'll just panic, especially Pablo because Stell's life is at stake.
Josh
"Oh Nami! You're back?"
Nami
"Yeah. And I'm with---"
Nami
"Hi Josh!" I wasn't able to continue because Shevi suddenly shouted and waved.
Josh fell backwards and almost fell off his eyeglasses.
Nami
Didn't I mention that Josh is a geeky, mysterious, snobbish type of a guy?
Nami
That's why Shevi is head over heels for him. He's like the leading guy on wattpad. Ugh. Girls and their ideals.
Josh
"You! What are you doing here?!"
Nami silently chuckled upon seeing Josh fixed his eyeglasses while having a flustered expression.
Nami
He loses his composure when Shevi is talking to him which leads me to assume that he likes her too.
Nami
Oh come on! I barely made a mistake when it comes to this kind of stuffs. Hoho.
Nami
"I'm sorry Josh but we really need to use the computers."
Josh
"Why does Nami need to be here?!"
Nami
"I need her help. Wait a minute, why are you yelling? You're not like that, Josh."
Nami's comment made knock Josh's senses off. He immediately cleared his throat.
Josh
"Sss. Do whatever you want. I'm out too."
Shevi immediately blocked him.
Shevi
"Hephep! It's not possible!"
Josh
"And why not?!"
Nami
"No one is closing shop. Give us a break, Josh. Just this once."
Josh could only scratched his hair and stomped his feet back to his desk.
Josh
"Just hurry up."
Nami
"Don't worry. We'll just be a moment."
Nami dragged Shevi to the nearest two computers and immediately logged in her account on both computers.
Nami
3 hours and 2 minutes before 11:45pm. Good thing I'm not home so Aunt Christy isn't. I can have all the time I want.
Nami
"Hey, have you read this story?"
Shevi
"ALAB University, right? I did, but I haven't finished it yet. You deleted it. How did you get it back? Haha!"
Nami
I didn't go back, Shevi. I went back of my own accord, ugh. But, I can't tell it to you. I am still worried even though I've finished my mission with you.
Nami
"I just unpublished it. I didn't delete it. Hehe," I lied.
Shevi
"I see. What should I do?"
Nami
"Skim the story first then tell me your thoughts on how we can make Justin the villain."
Nami
"We just need to align the past scenarios to match the storyline."
Shevi
"Okay, got it."
Even though she was annoyed, Nami was forced to change the story of ALAB University.
Nami and Shevi were too immersed in writing and revising the story, not until Nami's phone vibrated again.

Nami
"What the hell?" I softly uttered upon seeing the notification. Time flies!
Nami
"What part are you in, She?"
Shevi
"Tapos ko na yung part seven pero...Nameyyy, I have a little problem. And it's a little weird."
"Ayaw ma-publish," Shevi added and showed the monitor to Nami. With perplexed expression, Nami silently read the display.
Null
Security check!
Null
As part of Wattpad 2.0, fingerprint has been added to the features to detect whether there has been an unauthorized revision of the story.
Null
Please do not continue and let the rightful owner do the job. Otherwise, the changes in the story will not be saved.
Nami
That's it Null! You're really getting on my nerves!
Nami quickly tapped the option icon and surprisingly, she can now send a message to Null.
Nami
"You are definitely subjective Null!"
Null
"This is an automated message. We can't recognize your message, divine one. Limited questions can only be raised to Null."
Nami
"Damn you!"
Null
"Sorry, our system can't recognize your response. Please try again."
Nami impulsively slammed the desk in fury.
"Nami..." Shevi and Josh said in unison.
Nami
Seeing Shevi and Josh's faces made me embarrass. I can't lose myself right now. Stell is in danger. I have to think of another way.
After a few seconds of silence, Nami came up with something once again.
Nami
"I'm sorry for this, Shevi. But can you copy the revised version on notepad instead? Wattpad is very picky when it comes to authorization."
Shevi only nodded in response and turn her attention to the computer again. Nami and Shevi continued while Josh could only sigh on the side.

Shevi
"I'm done copying the revised version. Should I do the same with the rest of the story? Baka hindi ulit ma-save eh."
Nami
"Yes please, but this time, you'll save the revised version on the notepad muna. Then ako na ang magpapapublish."
Nami
I have to try this method instead. Shevi will revise the parts then I will publish it manually to avoid authorization conflicts.
Nami
I have to play dirty this time.
