Paris
> Not gonna make it for lunch today. Eat well?
I slowly shut my locker's door as I read Ezzio's text. He's been texting me the same thing for five consecutive days now. Our semi-final exam was done already but he'd still been so busy balancing schoolworks and practices. But I wasn't complaining. It's just that, I didn't think it's necessary for him to text me this. Ayos lang naman sa'kin kahit hindi na. But the guy can be very persistent.
Nagsimula akong maglakad matapos akong makapag-reply kay Ezzio. I already saw it coming, anyway. Lalo na dahil last day of practice na nila ngayon. Tomorrow's the final game. Everyone's hyped up about it. Nagsisimula nang mag-ingay sa social media ang iilang mga estudyante, hindi lang sa LMU kundi pati na rin ang mga estudyante ng eskwelahang makakalaban ng Wolves. Surprisingly, I, too was excited. I've never watched a football match befo

Paris"Ven,"I called the moment I barged into her room. She was taking her precious time doing her makeup. Napabuntong hininga ako."We need to go,"Thirtyminutes na lang kasi ay magsisimula na ang laro ng Wolves. The bleachers would be packed, for sure. Ayokong mahirapan kami sa paghahanap ng upuan.She turned to me."Geez, calm down,"giit niya."Don't stress. Makakaabot pa naman tayo."Humarap ulit siya sa salamin at pinagtuunan ang eyebrows niya. Between me and Venny, Venny's definitely the girly one. Light makeup lang naman ang inilalagay niya pero talagang grabe ang oras na inilalaan niya para roon.Bakit nga ba ako pumayag na makisabay sa kapatid kong 'to?"So, hindi ka na talaga pupunta sa game nina King?"she asked without looking at me. She was so busy applying her mascara.Naala

Paris"Z said he's driving you home. Hindi ka pala sasama sa victory party?"tanong ni Sam nang makalapit siya sa'kin. Nakatayo ako malapit sa bleachers at hinihintay si Ezzio. Nagbibihis pa kasi siya sa locker room.Umiling ako."Hindi, e."Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to join their party. Bukod sa nakakahiya, nag-text din kasi sa akin si Mico na kailangan na raw naming umuwi ni Venny. He didn't say why. Kaya ayon, nilapitan ako ni Venny kanina lang at sinabing uuwi na raw siya. I was with Ezzio when she turned up. Nag-insist ang lalaki na ihatid na lang kami pauwi pagkatapos niyang magbihis, pero humindi si Venny. And so, she decided to go home first while I stayed here to wait for him.Halos kalahating oras na rin ang nakalilipas matapos ng pagkapanalo ng Wolves at unti-unti na'ng nagsisiuwian ang mga tao. Samantala, nagpaiwan muna kami nina Sam para hintayin sina Z. Sam and the

Paris"Mommy?"I asked, surprised. Yep. That's right. Standing just outside the door was my mom, Izabella Villaverde. Kaya pala maaga kaming pinauwi ni Mico. I get it now.Kasabay ng tanong ko ang mabilis na paglabas nina Mico at Venny. They both looked like they wanted to stop Mom from going out but were too late to do so. I met Venny's gaze and all she did was smile apologetically to me."What's happening?"tanong ni mommy, bakas ang pagkakalito sa mukha, habang ako naman ay naguguluhan rin. She wasn't supposed to be here yet!Why is she back so soon?"Ah,"umayos ako ng tayo at tuluyang hinarap sina mama. I gestured at Ezzio."N-Nag-uusap lang kami, Mommy."Nag-uusap? Usap pa ba ang tawag doon, Paris? Halos nagsisigaw ka na nga, e."Oh,"giit niya."I'm sorry, I just th

Paris"Ano 'tong naririnig ko kay Mommy na may boyfriend ka na raw?"Napatigil ako sa sinabi ni kuya Max nang tumabi ako sa kanya habang abala siya sa pagluluto ng barbecue. It's a Sunday night. Dumating dito si kuya kanina lang at napagpasyahan namin na mag barbecue sa likod bahay. Lumapit ako para hintayin sana na maluto ang mga 'yon pero heto na nga't ang tanong na 'yan ang ipinambungad niya sa'kin.Argh, si mommy talaga!"Wala akong boyfriend,' no!"pagtanggi ko. Mula sa pagpapaypay ay napabaling siya sa'kin habang nakataas ang isang kilay."Who's that Z guy, then?"Punong-puno ng hinala ang pagkakatanong niya. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. Wala talaga akong kahit anong naitatago kay kuya kapag nandito si mommy."He's just..."I tried to find words to say. Ano nga ba? Kaibigan? Classmate? In the end, I just settled w

Paris"Why the hell did you do that?"tanong ko kay Ezzio nang makalabas kami sa library. Hindi pa naman lunchtime pero minabuti ko na lang na magpaalam kay King para naman maibsan ang tensyon sa kanilang dalawa. Tatlo kaming lumabas nina Raynold habang nagpaiwan naman roon si King. But now, it's just me and Ezzio. Nagpaalam na rin kasi si Ray agad. He probably sensed the heavy atmosphere between me and his friend.Nakatayo kami sa gilid ng hallway malapit sa Engineering building. He shrugged."I want to see him play.""Then just watch his damn practice!"Hindi ko mapigilang itaas ang boses ko. Naiinis ako sa kanya! Masyado siyang pa-extra! Niyaya niya pa talaga si King ng 1-on-1 game? Akala mo siya 'tong basketball player sa kanilang dalawa, ah!Tinitigan niya ako ng matagal. Hindi ko mabasa ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya."Why are you so mad about th

ParisI think I like Ezzio. I'm even convinced it's more than that.After what happened at the gazebo, I spent another sleepless night at home. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nararamdaman. Now that I was aware of my own feelings, for some reason, it felt wrong. Pakiramdam ko, mali 'to. It wasn't supposed to be this way, anyway. At higit sa lahat,takot.Natatakot ako."How was the game?"tanong ni Venny kinabukasan. Kumakain kami ng breakfast. Kaming dalawa lang ang nagdadaldalan dahil nasa kusina pa si mommy habang si Mico naman ay tahimik na kumakain.The question made me feel uneasy. I realized, anything that reminds me of Ezzio seem to make me feel just that. I pursed my lips and nodded."Ayos naman. Panalo si King,"maikling sagot ko. I didn't want to elaborate. She grinned."I heard it finished early. Pero ginabi ka pa rin ng uwi,"

Paris"Mommy?"I called as I knocked on her door. My lips were quivering and my face, tear-stained. It didn't take long for her to open up. Inaayos niya pa ang roba niya at bahagyang napatigil nang makita akong umiiyak.The look on her face turned from a look of shock to something that showed genuine concern."Bella,"she said softly as she held me by the arm. Hindi ako nakasagot. Mukhang wala naman siyang inaasahan. Inakay niya na lang ako patungo sa kama niya. She hugged me tight once we sat there. My tears fell nonstop on her shoulder."I hate myself,"I whispered, unable to stop my sobs. Naramdaman ko ang pag-iling ni mama habang hinahaplos ang likod ko nang marahan."No. Don't say that,"she said."You're just scared and I don't blame you. Maybe because I know that somehow, it's my fault."I couldn't gi

Paris"So? Howisit?"I nervously asked before biting my lip. It's a weekend. Napag-usapan naming magsama-sama rito sa bahay dahil saktong hindi naman kami busy lahat. Nakaupo sila sa hapag habang ako naman ay nakatayo lang, hinihintay ang reaksyon nila sa niluto kong soufflé. Nakasuot pa ako ng apron.Kuya Max was the first one to react. He even smashed his hand on the table in an exaggerated way. Pabiro siyang gulat na tumingin sa'kin."Sarap nito, Par! Pwede mo na 'to gamitin pang gayuma!""Oo nga! It's about time na rin, 'no! Ang tanda mo na, wala ka pa ring jowa!"dagdag naman ni Venny. I glared at her for that."Nahiya ako sa'yo, ah!"sabi ko dahil hello? Parehas lang naman kami. Wala rin siyang jowa dahil masyado raw siyang busy sa career niya kaya fling-fling lang daw muna.I
