Chapter 171: A dead end

"I'm so glad you could make it", Mona said as she hugged her best friend Demi. "Thank you. I know you had to leave class..."

"What's wrong with you?" Demi gave her a once over. She chuckled, "It's not like I haven't bunked classes for you before."

Demi's smile faded as she realized something. Mona was anxious and evidently desperate for any help she could get to achieve her current goal: saving her relationship with Ian. A certain bitterness washed over Demi's form. But seeing the look on Mona's face, she suppressed the feelings and walked on ahead.

"Come on", she quietly said.

Mona followed behind before they caught a taxi to the gym. Yes, they were headed to Pedro and Enzo's. A few minutes later, they alighted from the taxi when it stopped at their destination. Demi took care of the fare before Mona followed her in.
