"Hoy! Okay ka lang ba?" Panggugulat ni Jangkit at kalaunan ay ngumisi sabay tingin sa akin na may malisya. "Bakit ka namumula, ha? Ikaw kung saan saan na siguro napadpad imahinasyon mo, ano?"
"Hindi ah! Ikaw talaga kung ano ano ang pinagsasabi mo!" Tanggi ko at lumayo ng bahagya sa kaniya. Binilisan ko ng kaunti ang paglalakad pero hinahabol niya ako. "Sus, ini-imagine mo sigurong lumalambitin ka sa braso ni Rafus, ano? Ikaw gaga ka, mahalay ka na ha!""Iyang bibig mo Jangkit, pasmado!" Dinuro ko siya at bahagyang napairap."Iyang utak mo kinumbulsyon!" Ganti niya pabalik at pagdesisyunan kong huwag nalang patulan baka kung saan pa kami umabot.Nakasalubong na namin sina Dom at nadaanan na namin si Dani sa stall nila. We spent our time having fun. We have taken uncountable solo and group photos on photo booths. We ate different foods, stalls could offer. I really am full after all of those foods and drinks we consumed. May nadaanan kaming souvenirKaugnay na kabanata

"Ate, gano'n ka na ba kabigo para magpatugtog ng pambigong kanta buong araw?" Pambulabog ni Shey at pumasok ng kwarto ko para patayin ang speaker."Alangan namang magpatugtog ako ng budots ngayong wasak ako?" Napabusangot ako at napahiga ulit sa kama."Tinanong ka po sa akin nina Ate Crezst noong isang araw, Ate." Panimula ni Shey matapos ang mahabang katahimikan. Naramdaman ko ang paglubog ng kama sa gilid ko. "Wala naman akong masabi kasi hindi ko alam kung nasaan ka pero mukhang nag-alala sila sa'yo."Dalawang araw na ang nakalipas mula noong Valentine's Day, naalala ko na bago ako lumabas ng school ay pinatay ko ang cellphone at hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko parin nabubuksan.Recalling what happened deepens the wound and doubled the pain. I never knew he's still grasping my past relationships and used it as basis of my feelings for him.I took advantage of my parent's absence that night and I cried my heart out. I just couldn't accept i

The bell rang for lunch time. My friends are discussing if where we are going to eat and even though the majority votes isn't favor to my side to eat lunch at the cafeteria, I still agree and just heave a sigh.Habang naglalakad kami sa corridor ay doon ko lamang binuksan ang cellphone ko. My eyes widened and almost dropped my phone in shock when I was welcomed by seventy missed calls and a hundred fifty texts from different persons.Gusto ko sanang basahin ang lahat pero sa tingin ko ay pare-pareho lang naman ang laman ng mensahe mula sa mga kaibigan ko. Tinadtad nila ako Jangkit, Crezst, Dani at Helen tungkol kay Rafus kaya medyo nawalan ako ng gana na basahin ang mensahe mula sa kanila.Nagpadesisyunan ko nalang na basahin ang text mula kina Jishu at Lavigne.Jishu:Are you going to watch the band later? We're going to perform. And I'll treat you after that.Lavigne:I didn't see you with your friends. Where are you r

"Good morning everyone! I have the list of pairs for Senior Ball with me. It'll be posted for a while," anunsiyo ng isang teacher namin.Mga ilang minuto kaming naghintay bago idinikit ang listahan sa mga poll. Nasipagsiksikan ang mga estudyante para makatingin maging sina Jangkit. Nanatili akong nakaupo sa hagdan dahil sa sakit ng puson ko.Sina Lowell at Dom ay nasa kabila kasama ang iilang lalaki. May mga hawak silang cellphone at minsan ay nagsisigawan sila. Probably playing e-games. Hindi pa sila bumabalik ni Crezst at wala akong masuyo na pumunta sa clinic. I've got no choice but to contact one person I have in mind... Jishu.I'm hesitant but my lower abdomen is fucking in pain that makes me do it. This is what I hate during my period! Sumasakit ang puson at nangangalay ang balikawang ko.Ako:Jishu? Are you at school?Jishu:Yes. I'm here at my department, why? Miss me?Ako:Could I ask

The event's day came. The teachers and faculty of Senior High is busier than ever. Halos wala na kaming pasok kanina at konti lang ang lutong pagkain sa cafeteria dahil busy ang ibang cooks sa pagluluto ng pagkain sa school kitchen para mamaya.Alas tres palang ay pinauwi na ang lahat ng high school students. Para narin makahanda kaming mga seniors sa event.I wore an navy blue off shoulder cocktail dress with a slit on the left. I finish off with glittery silver strap stilettos. I fixed my hair in a bun and intentionally left some strands of my hair in both sides. I applied make up that highlighted more of my physical features, especially my eyes. I brought the black purse and sprayed minimal amout of perfume Auntie Yuri gave me. The Senior Ball will start at seven and I'm ten minutes advance. While walking at the red carpeted floor at the center, I can't help to not admire the simply of the venue.The venue is a little dim but enough to highlight the beauty of the decorations. The

Almost two weeks had passed since the Senior Ball happened, Rafus and I never crossed paths. This thought may be absurd but I kinda feel relieve and happy.After I walked out from him that night, I still forced myself to return to the event. Pinakisamahan ko siya pati ang mga kasamahan ko sa mesa kahit na hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko. I couldn't bear the atmosphere between me and Rafus, fortunately I manage to stay a little longer. The atmosphere is damn suffocating and awkward, luckily they didn't notice it, especially Crezst.I'm sure she'll report it our remaining friends whose table is far from us. If that happens, our GC will be bombarded with chats coming from my overreacting friends.It's also unexpected for me to receive the Head Turner of the Night award, I was really shocked when they called my name. Crezst's again received the Best Dress of the Night.The King and Queen of the Ball is Rafus and Aurora. Sayang-saya si Aurora nang gabi

"I'll be lying to myself if I'll say no."I continued walking subsequently till I reached the library's exit. Doon na ako tuluyang nakahinga ng maluwag. Nanghihina ang tuhod ko at parang hinigop ang natitirang lakas ng buong katawan ko.This is the first time we talked to each other after Senior Ball. It felt so awkwardly odd and uncomfortable. I couldn't blame the atmosphere since the gap between us isn't that easy to fix for now.I came back from cogitating as I felt the vibration in my pocket. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at laglag ang panga habang nakapako ang tingin sa text mula kay Jishu.Jishu:Huh? What foods? Wala akong dalang pagkain kanina nang makita kita sa library.Ako:Hindi ba sa'yo galing ang isang plastik ng pagkain na nakapatong sa upuan ko? May note pang nakalagay.Jishu:Slaine, I don't know what you're talking about. What plastic? What note? I left because I don't to disturb you anym

"Mareng Slaine, ang ganda mo dito oh!" Ani Jangkit saka pinakita ang pinost ko sa social media."Maganda lang siguro ang lighting."Bumusangot siya sa sagot ko at mahina hinila ang buhok ko. Napadaing ako at nang makabawi ay dahan dahan kong hinagod ang ulo. "So, required manakit kapag masama ang loob?" May bahid ng sarkasmo ang boses ko."Bias ng photographer ng mga babae, mabulunan sana siya ng marshmallows." Rinig kong bulong niya. Umismid siya at ibinalik ang atensiyon sa hinahawakang cellphone.Napailing ako at ibinalik ang tingin kila Crezst sa harapan. Nanatili kami doon sa gym hanggang sa natapos sila Crezst at nagyaya si Dani na umuwi na.Kinabukasan ay maaga akong nagising para maghanda ng agahan. Today's our Graduation Day. Sila Nanay at Tatay ay naghahanda narin dahil pareho silang dadalo sa pagtatapos ni Shey ngayong umaga.I also want to attend her moving up but I have to prepare myself for later. They got

"Nakapagdesisyon ka na ba kung saan ka mag-aaral ng college?"Napabuntong-hininga ako sa tanong ni Helen. Nakaupo kami ngayon sa bleachers ng open gym at kaming lima lang ang narito. Nanonood kami ng praktis ng basketball nina Dom, Lowell at iba pang manlalaro para sa Sports Fest ngayong Miyerkules."Hindi ko pa nga alam," pagtatapat ko at sabay inilapag ang plastic envelope na ang nilalaman ay mga importanteng papel ko at card. "I'm trying to reconsider PSU and SAC, but I do think WeSaS is the preferable choice.""Doon ka nalang sa Aklan State University, Slaine. Para magkasama tayo! Pwede ka namang maka-avail ng scholarship mula kay Mayor.""Ikaw Dani, saan ka mag-aaral?" Lumingon si Crezst sa kaniya."Luluwas na kasi kami ng Manila ngayong darating na May at hindi ko pa alam kung saan ako mag-aaral. Siguro sa UP Diliman, basta kung anong university lang ang malapit sa lugar namin doon."I heaved a sigh after realizing things.
