CELESTE
"Why are you so grumpy?"
I heaved a sigh before shaking my head to Clio. "Wala lang."
She sat beside me and crossed her arms. "Kahapon ka pa tahimik. Are you sure you're alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine," I lied.
"Fine. If you don't want to share your problem right now, tell it to me some other time. I'm always willing to listen, okie?" I smiled at her and gave her a continous nod.
"Uy! Anong meron?" tanong ng bagong dating na si Jarvis.
May dala siyang plastic na may softdrinks at iniabot niya ito sa amin ni Clio.
"Sabi ko, bumili ka lang. Bakit inabot ka ng trenta minutos, ha?" Clio nagged at him.
"Hinarang kasi ako sa daan noong mga babae, nagpatulong lang naman." Jarvis answered and scratched the back of h

CELESTE"Ano ba kasing ginagawa natin dito, Louisse? Ang init-init," reklamo ni Jarvis sa tabi ko.Bumaling ako sa kaniya at sinamaan siya ng tingin. "Can you please stop complaining?" angil ko.He pouted before crossing his arms. "Bakit ba kasi tayo nandito? May okasyon ba?""Jarvis, hindi porque walang okasyon, hindi na natin pupuntahan si Dad. Kailangan natin siyang bisitahin, okay?""Bakit ngayon pa? Magrereview kami Clio," reklamo pa niya.I sighed. "Stop using Clio as an excuse, Jarvis Callum. Tumahimik ka na nga lamang!" iritable kong sabi at muling bumaling ng tingin kay Dad."Dad, how are you? Are you doing alright?"I bit my lower lip when no one answered me. "I hope you're doing well," I mumbled."Louisse, there's no point o

ASHANTIWhat is a dream?Is it really necessary for a person to have a dream?What if I don't have one? Am I not normal?I bit my lower lip as I massaged my temples out of dissapointment. It's been an hour since I started to write my essay for my English subject but up until now, the paper is still blank.I sighed. Why is it so hard?"Why do you look so grumpy?" I lazily looked at Celeste when she arrived together with our friends.Umupo si Celeste sa tabi ko samantalang kaharap naman namin sina Clio at Kelly."'Yan ba 'yung essay sa English?" Kelly tried to pry on my paper but she gave me a dissapointed look when she saw nothing on it.

KELLY"Oh my gosh! What the fuckening fuck?!"I screamed on top of my lungs when I saw my reflection on the mirror."What's the matter?" Ashanti asked lazily.Humarap ako sa kaniya at itinuro ang mukha ko. "I have a freaking pimple, Ashanti! Oh my gosh! It's not just a single pimple but three! What am I going to do?"She winced. "That's just a pimple, Kelly. It won't hurt you."My brows snapped together as I stare on my reflection. I can't have this!"But it hurts my ego!"She leaned against the couch and picked up a book. "Stop throwing tantrums or else, I am going to throw this thing to you," banta niya.I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Then how am I fre

CLIO"Why are you late again, Jarvis?"He smiled awkwardly and scratch the back of his head."Kasi naman Clio, 'yung mga babae kasi sa third floor, nagpatulong na ano... Na magdala ng project nila," pangangatwiran niya.I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Ilang beses mo na 'yang idinahilan."He pouted and sat beside me."Totoo kasi, Clio. Promise!"Napailing ako at tumalikod para kuhanin ang notebook ko. "Pasalamat ka at wala akong practice ngayon kaya hinintay pa kita," saad ko at inilabas ang notebook ko."Thank you!"Umirap ako at iniabot sa kaniya iyon. "Bilisan mong kumopya," utos ko.Tumango naman siya at agad na inilabas ang gamit niya. Napailing naman ako. Kahit kailan talaga, mukha siyang bata."Tanda mo noong

ASHANTI"I think I have a dream now."My friends looked at me confusedly, telling me to proceed. I sipped on my iced coffee before straightening my back."What?" Kelly asked."A lawyer."Kelly and Clio burst out of laughter while Celeste was trying not to laugh. My brows furrowed as I watch their reactions."Why are you laughing?" I asked."Are you serious?" tanong ni Clio at uminom sa binili niyang chocolate shake.Muling kumunot ang noo ko. "Do I look like I'm joking?"Tumigil sila sa pagtawa bago takang tumingin sa akin. I sipped on my coffee and leaned against my chair."So you mean... You want to be a lawyer? As in lawyer like 'yung nasa court na nagdedefend ng case?" Maarteng tanong ni Kelly.I sighed before I nod. "May iba pa ba?""Are you re

CELESTEI lazily walked out from our classroom when the class ended. Me and Ashanti haven't talk for two days since she got mad. May practice si Clio samantalang kasama naman ni Ashanti si Kelly.Napailing na lamang ako at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. I went straightly to the library to meet Markus but when I got there, he wasn't around.Muli akong bumuntong hininga. Bakit wala sila lahat?Dederetso na sana ako sa cafeteria para maghapunan nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko.My brows shut together when I saw that Kelly is calling me. Anong meron?"Yes?" tanong ko matapos sagutin ang tawag."Uhm... Celeste," panimula niya."Yes?" pag-uulit ko."Ano kasi, can you go here sa dorm? May importante lang tayong kailangan pag-usapan."Kumunot ang noo ko. "Is it urgent?""Kinda? But if

ASHANTI"I'll be there within an hour. May errands lang akong kailangang gawin," I told Kelly on the phone."What are you going to do ba?" Maarte niyang tanong.I sighed. "Dadaan ako sa office. May naiwan akong files na kailangang ireview," sagot ko."Oh! Pakikuha na lamang din ng lipstick ko. Naiwan ko doon last time na pumunta tayo," utos niya."Alright. Pakisabi na lamang kina Celeste at Clio na susunod ako.""Okie! Take care!""Likewise," I answered as I ended the call.Muli akong bumuntong hininga bago nagpatuloy sa paglalakad papunta sa office. It is the office that Butler Cox gave us last time as a reward for being part of The Rank Five. We stayed there for a couple of days to study but we stopped going there because we still prefer to stay and study at our dorm or in the library.Napailing ako bago muling kinuha a

KELLY"Where are you going?"Celeste eyed me while fixing her white ribbon headband."Library," she answered shortly."Na naman? What are you doing there ba?""I don't like stating the obvious, Kelly. But in case you didn't know, I am going there to study."I pouted and rose my eyebrow. Why is she so mean? I'm just asking!Mas lalong tumaas ang kilay ko nang maglagay siya ng lip tint at nag-spray ng mamahalin niyang pabango. That's so unlikely, huh."Do you want me to go with you? It's lonely to study alone," I offered.She looked at me surprisingly. Tinaasan ko naman siya ng kilay. "Why?" dagdag na tanong ko.Nag-iwas siya sa akin ng tingin at marahang umiling. "You don't have to," she answered."Why? Ayaw mo ba ng kasama habang nag-aaral?""Ayaw ko. I prefer
