Rachel Enrique entered the Room 244 dala ang kanyang mga maleta na laman ay libro at mga damit. For her, this is the least thing she could do to have a peace of mind. Kung parati na lang nagtatalo sila ng kanyang dad sa bahay, wala rin mangyayari. This started to happen when she decided to leave the recording company founded by her dad to become a Christian Artist like Lisa Crisostomo, her friend. She'd just realized that being a pop star is not her cup of tea. She'd just wanted to be simple and to have a private and soulful life.

In her new room, nakahanda na ang lahat, nandyan na ang dalawang kama para sa kanya at sa kroom mate niya na si Maggie, her childhood bestfriend. Meron din silang maliit na refrigerator, rice cooker and microwave. She'd just lucky to have wealthy parents who can support her.

When Maggie Chelsea arrived, she'd just felt something eerie in this place, at kinausap niya agad si Rachel, "Rach, I felt something errie in this place. How did you find this place nga pala?"

Tugon naman ni Rachel, "Ito yung dating kuwarto nina Ate Roselle and Ate Regina."

"OMG! Ibig sabihin may poltergeist nga dito sa kuwartong ito." sabi ni Maggie. Maggie lived in Scotland with her dad, which he promised to support her high school education while her mom has problem in finances. Yung pag-alis niya papuntang Scotland ang dahilan kung bakit sila nagkahiwalay ng long time boyfriend niyang si Randy Sarmiento.

" Ang OA mo naman. Kathang isip lang ang poltergeist katulad rin ng mga leprechaun na sinasabi mo." paalala lang ni Rachel.

"No. I should call my mom to get us an exorcist. Ayaw ko may nangangambala sa akin habang nagrereview ako." sabi ni Maggie.

Kaya isinigawa nga ang house blessing para sa dormitory para rin sa ikatatahimik ng kaluluwa ni Regina Dominguez, ang half-sister ni Rachel Enrique. Siyempre, imbitado din si Roselle Valiente, ang presidente ng Theta Phi Nu Sorority at gusto kumbidahin sina Rachel at Maggie sa first assembly ng mga neophytes.

"Ya know, Maggie, I liked your persuasion and determination when you handle difficult things. I saw myself on you when I was your age." sabi ni Roselle na ibig sabihin ay nagustuhan niya si Maggie bilang kanyang apprentice.

"Thanks, Ate Roselle."

"Meet me at the club at six o' clock in the evening. Bring Rachel and the other group of friends of yours." sabi ni Roselle.

"Oh, thank you very much. My friends really like to be part of your sorority."

***************

At 6:00 PM in the club house, nandun sina Rachel at ang mga kaibigan niya para sa first assembly ng mga neophytes.

At nagulat naman itong si Maggie sa pagdating ni Candy Romano, ang kanyang karibal sa puso ni Randy Sarmiento.

Sabi ni Candy, "Sorry, girls, for being late. Traffic kasi sa may EDSA.

At mga ilang minuto pa lang, dumating na sina Roselle, JayDee, Alondra at Alona.

Sabi ni Roselle sa unang pagkakita pa lang niya kay Liza Romero, "Before we started the orientation, I would like to remind Elizabeth Romero that she is out from this assembly. She is too ugly and too fat to be part of the Theta Phi Nu neophyte."

Liza shrugged, "Okay, who needs this snooty and snob sorority anyway?"

At sa kanyang paglabas ng club house, kinausap ni Rachel si Roselle, "I think you are being mean to Liza. You should not treat her that way. Is it because she is chubby unlike us who are petite and pretty, you think she should not be part of this sorority?"

"Okay, so you wanted to join your pitiful friend. Go and follow her. Once you go out from this club house, I would not speak to you again." sabi ni Roselle. Roselle has been a good friend to her family since her Ate Regina died. Parang siya na ang tumatayong ate ni Rachel nang pumanaw si Regina.

"If that's what you want, I don't care!" sabi ni Rachel. At she left the club house.

Then, Roselle said to herself, "You will be sorry for this, my little sis."

Pag-alis ni Roselle, gustong sumunod sina Lisa Crisostomo at Maggie Chelsea. Napansin sila ni JayDee at pinigilan ang mga ito.

"Girls, where are you going? Don't you want to be popular like us so you wanted to leave us for the sake of your poor girlfriend who is not pretty and unpopular?"

Maggie is thinking twice if she is going to leave the assembly or not. But, she thought that this would be her advantage against Candy Romano if she would not leave the sorority.

Maggie told Lisa, "Lisa, I think you should go and follow them."

"Are you sure?" taka naman ni Lisa.

Then, Maggie nodded.

Then Lisa followed Rachel at the parking lot where she found the two of them talking. She approached the two of them and said, "Girl, I quit the sorority too."

These two girls smiled at her and said, "Great job!"

Then, the three girls have a group hug. And so, they planned to go to Club Juan Carlo Rafael to have fun. While Elizabeth and Lisa on the dance floor dancing, Gabriel Samonte found her drinking a shot of vodka.

"Drinking alone."

"I brought my friends with me." tugon naman ni Rachel.

"Roselle called me and told me you quit the sorority." said Gabriel.

"And I think you know the reason why." sabi naman ni Rachel.

"You are alone here. And you are wearing the necklace I gave to Regina. Do you miss her?" tanong ni Gabriel.

"Yeah, and I wanted to find out what's really happened to that poor girl?"

Gabriel looked at her eyes and said, "When I looked at you, I saw Regina in you. You are like Reggie who is tough and independent. I think I have fallen in love with you."

And, Rachel looked at her with a sad look. She felt his longingness for Regina, as he would like to attempt to kiss her lips. Rachel tried to push him and said, "No, this is not right. You are happy with Roselle, and I am a happy blessed single."

"But, I planned to break up with Roselle so I can pursue my courtship with you. Ya know, I can protect you against Roselle. You really don't know what she is capable of. Now, you made her mad since you choose your poor friend over her." said Gabriel.
