Alex turned around to see who's tapping him and saw Kris with a smile on her face.
Surprised, he said, "Oh, Kris, why are you here?"
Alex didn't expect that Kris would come back immediately since she was in a celebration last night.
He thought that she would stay there for a day or two more before going back to Earth.
Unexpectedly, she's already back which surprised Alex a little.
Putting some lost hair strands behind her ear, Kris said, "I went back home immediately after the feast last night."
"As a model student, I shouldn't miss school just because I was busy celebrating, right?"
Hearing her reply, Alex didn't know whether he'll believe her words or not.
"Well, sure…"
Fortunately, the voice of the vendor sounded at this time, saving Alex.
"Your hotcakes are ready, sir. That'll be ₱15 in total."
Alex took the plastic containing hotcakes from the vendor and handed ₱15 pesos in return.
"Thank you."
