Allysa Chloe Hernandez
The next day
Today is Saturday and I woke up early because I have to go to school. My community service will start at 6:00 to 10:00 am. I don't want to do this because I know to myself that I am innocent but my Mom has agreed and I can't say no to her. I also don't want to embarrass her with our dean yesterday and I will only get scolded even more. I know I'm a bit stubborn but I'm letting it go and I depend on the situation I'm in.
I prepared the bag that I will bring. I brought an extra t-shirt, towel and jogging pants. I also carried a tumbler with cold water and a sandwich while leaving the house. When I saw Manong Jose, He drove me to my university.
When I arrived at the university, there were few people and also the security guard who was guarding the gate of our university.
Before entering I asked our security guard.
"Am I the only one scheduled to do community service today?"
"For the regular students, yes, you are the only one, but a lot of scholars and volunteers are cleaning today. Who is your class instructor?"
He asked me.
"Ma'am Lea."
I answered him.
"Oh, you're the one she's talking about. Oh, she reminded me to give it to you."
And then he handed me the plastic bags.
"Thank you."
When I got the plastic bags, they were full of gardening tools. I thought I was just going to sweep the garden, but why is there something like this? I would never have been in this kind of work. Haysst looks like it will test me.
When I got to the assigned garden written on my time card, I started doing what I had to do. The first thing I did was to pull out small weeds in the garden. It took me more than an hour because the garden assigned to me was a large one. After that I pulled out the grass, and I swept the dry leaves around.
And the last thing I did was water the plants. While I was holding the hose that was used to water the plants, I felt dizzy, maybe it was because of the heat of the weather, and my head hurt a bit this morning when I woke up. I feel like I'm going to lose my balance when a pair of hands help me.
"Miss, are you okay?"
He asked, worriedly. He's the man I saw cleaning the other garden.
"I'm just a little dizzy. Thanks."
I answered him because I really feel like I'm going to fall.
"I'll bring you to the university’s clinic. You're getting pale."
He added.
"Yes please."
I asked him. Because I don't have a choice because I feel like I'm going to fall.
Then he escorted me to the clinic. Before we got to the clinic, my eyelid gave out. And I don't remember what happened next.
I just woke up while lying in the hospital bed at our school's clinic. The man who helped me earlier was watching me. When he noticed that I was awake, he came to me, then he went out for a while and came back with a nurse. After the nurse examined me, she said I was fine and could go home at twelve o'clock tonight. She also said that I just need to rest.
When the nurse left, he came to me and talked to me while sitting on the chair next to my bed.
"How are you feeling? I brought your things here earlier. There you go"
He pointed to the bag on the chair.
"I'm fine. Thank you."
I smile at him while I answer.
"I'm Kent Liam by the way."
He extended his hand at the same time.
"Allysa Chloe Hernandez."
I smiled at him and reached for his hand. His hands are very soft.
After a while, I was surprised when the curtain covering my room opened and Manang Helen entered.
"Hey, what happened to you kid?"
She asked worriedly as she approached me.
"I just lost consciousness earlier but I'm fine Manag Helen. Don't worry."
I answered her.
"Why are you still doing community service when you're not supposed to be involved in such activities? You worried your Mom and Dad. You know they just sent me here first but they said they'll follow right away."
"One more thing it is necessary, Manang and besides Mom agrees to that idea, so I have no other choice but to do that."
"Is that so? Wait, who's with you hija?"
Pointing at the man sitting on the side of my bed.
"He’s Kent Liam, Manang Helen he is the one who helped me earlier."
"Ah, is that so? Thank you dear. It's really good that you helped her. Thank you."
She came close to Liam and hugged him.
"You're welcome."
He answered.
After a while, Kent Liam said goodbye because he said he still had a lot of work to finish. Manang Helen thanked him again and took him outside the clinic.
When he left Manang Helen glanced at me with a smile.
"Why are you smiling Manang Helen?"
I asked this question while sitting on the bed.
"It's because your savior Allysa is so cute, besides, he's still young. You're perfect."
She teasingly said to me while smiling.
"Manang Helen."
I scolded her.
Honestly, Kent Liam is so cute that’s why I couldn't take my eyes off him. Fortunately, he didn't even realize that I was looking at him.
Those beady eyes framed with thick lashes are really cute for me. Even though he wears glasses I can see how beautiful his eyes are. As if saying let me look at him.
I handed my bag to Manang Helen and took my cell phone. I'm really curious about him. I tried to search for him on f******k but nothing came up.
I also tried on I*******m and luckily I found his account. It's a private one. I tapped the follow button to send a follow request, well I want to be friends with him. Her i*******m icon is so cute. That's probably his graduation photo when he was a child. After three minutes he accepted and followed me back. I smiled. So he’s active on the i*. I saw his photos, only a few pictures were posted on his account. In all of his pictures, his eyes are what really grabs my attention. His eyes are really expressive.
Allysa Chloe HernandezWhen my Mom and Dad arrived at the clinic, we went home. We are all quiet in the car on the way to our house. No one wants to start a conversation. I also don't want to talk because Mom and Dad might argue.I got out of the car when I got home. Manang Helen helped me to get inside. My brother looked so worried when he saw me. He approached me and asked me if I was okay? I told him that I'm fine and not to worry. I know that brother is very stubborn all the time but he really cared for me.Mom asked Manang Helen to take me upstairs to rest and said that she would just bring me lunch so I wouldn't have to come down so I agreed. When I got to my room, I immediately changed into my house clothes. I sat on the edge of my bed and took out my cell phone. I was browsing my friends' ig stories when I came across Kent Liam's ig story. A stolen shot of him with the caption "He's happy because his crush did community service earlier."It was an ig story of her friend that h
Allysa Chloe HernandezMonday morning I woke up early because I didn't want to be late for school.I feel fine because I rested for almost a week. I didn't even attend our fellowship at the church because I really needed to rest and my Dad didn't allow me either because he might wonder how I would be there.After I showered and changed into my school uniform, I went downstairs. Carrying my shoulder bag, I went straight to the dining area and saw my brother, Allen."Where's Mom and Dad Allen?"I ask him."They already left early. They say they have an early meeting with the client. Sit down and eat. I'll take you to school."He commanded.I sat on the seat opposite him and I started eating. I got a sandwich, hotdog, bacon and also Manang made me some hot chocolate.When my brother noticed that I took the same sandwich, he spoke."Eat a lot Allysa. Dieting isn't trendy right now."Then he took another sandwich and put it on my plate."Eat it."He commanded with a smile as if he was stil
Allysa Chloe HernandezBea and I went to the clinic to ask nurse Mia for alcohol. Even though it was painful, she tried to clean the scratches on my arm.Then we went straight to our room because the afternoon class was about to start.While listening to our instructor, I couldn't help but feel annoyed with Kyline and her friends. Bea and I will tell the dean what happened so that my name can be cleared and the issue I'm involved in is over.When the class was over, there was a sudden meeting of all the block presidents of each section of all the departments and I was one of them.While I was in the meeting room and waiting to start, I saw the senior student come in earlier, the one who helped Kyline and I wean together with the other presidents of other block sections. He walked closer to where I was and he sat on the seat near me. I thought he was going to sit next to me, fortunately he sat in the fourth seat from me. There were two seats between us.He smirked when I glanced at him
Allysa Chloe HernandezWhen Manong Jose arrived, we went home.When I got home, I immediately went straight to the room. I changed my house clothes and started doing school work.At 7pm I went down to eat dinner. When I got to the dining area, I found Mom and Dad waiting. Maybe we had something to talk about so they went home early."There she is."Daddy said when he saw me."Let's eat Allysa."Mom said. While we were eating dinner, Mom spoke about something. "Allysa, did you do something stupid again?"She asked me."Why?"I asked her. "Well the dean just called me earlier. She said there was an issue about you that needed to be discussed. What did you do again? Allysa can you please start to avoid some troubles. You're not a child anymore."Maybe Kyline and her friends complained to the dean's office earlier. Well she's the one who started it."Just a little cat fighting Mom."It was the only answer I gave to her. "With whom? And why did you do that?"This question surprised me
Allysa Chloe Hernandez The nervousness I felt stopped when my Mom spoke. She saved me. "Dinner is ready Mr. and Mrs. Enriquez. Let's eat first. We can talk about other things over dinner. So let's go?" Mom smiled when she invited our guest to eat dinner. They immediately agreed, got up and walked towards the dining area while I followed behind them, as did Dave Arkiel as if he was forced to do what he was doing. My brother was almost walking with me while smiling. I know he wants to tease me because I'm sure he can tell I'm nervous. He just couldn't because we had guests. When they arrived at the dining area, my Mom and Dad and the Enriquez couple sat down first. I was about to sit in the seat next to my Mom when Dave Arkiel suddenly came and pulled a chair for me. What a gentleman or maybe just trying to impress. "Thank you." The only thing I said to him while smiling. He smiled back. I noticed that my brother laughed for a moment. He was really teasing me. He really kn
Allysa Chloe HernandezSaturday morning. I packed all the things that I might need. I also bring some snacks and other personal things.Bea said that we are going to spend the night. That's why I told it to my Mom and Dad just last night, fortunately they allowed me but on one condition. My brother Allen will drop us off and pick us up at the beach we chose and he will also arrange check-in at the hotel to make sure we are not with anyone else.It was just 6am and we were already on our way. It's as good as bathing in the sea early. We passed by Bea at their house. During the trip, we kept talking."Brother Allen what do you think about the man who will be Allysa's soon to be fiance?"Bea suddenly asked my brother Allen. Why did she have to ask that?"Well he's good. They're good. He's even a gentleman, isn't he? Allysa?"My Brother Allen said with a smile while grinning at me. He really still teases me up to this day."Oh, that's it. So what are you saying you don't like him, Allysa.
Allysa Chloe HernandezWe were so quiet when we arrived at Nipa Hat where Dave Arkiel was staying.I decided not to go to my room with Bea because I'm sure she will tell my Mom and Dad what happened. They will worry and may even send us home. I decided not to tell them in order to continue our weekend getaway.Dave Arkiel helped me to sit down. When I sat down on the wooden sofa inside Dave Arkiel's Nipa Hat, he immediately handed me a cup of water. I'm still shaking with fear. I didn't know it would happen. I wish I hadn't left Nipa Hat earlier. I hope I didn't dare to swim alone."Can I sleep here?"I dared to ask Dave Arkiel.I know we are not very close yet but I have no other choice but to spend the night here."Yeah sure. This room has two beds. You can sleep on the other one."He answered me."Thank you."I said this with a smile."Get changed. You might get sick."He said and then he threw a black t-shirt and blue shorts at me."Thank you."Then I went to the bathroom to take
Allysa Chloe HernandezAfter 10 minutes, our Literature professor arrived. Sir Nathan, the class was also more than two hours. Discussions then short quizzes, just like what other professors do in other subjects.After that class it's break time. I told Bea and Kenny that I would go straight to the library to borrow the book that I need before going to the cafeteria. They were already ahead so I told them to reserve a seat for me. When I told Ma'am Annie the book I needed, she immediately directed me where to find it. It is located on the bookshelves at the end. After I got the book and said goodbye to Ma'am Annie, I walked to the cafeteria.When I got inside the cafeteria, I immediately looked for my two friends. Since a lot of students were already there, I had a hard time finding them. After a while I heard a voice calling me. I'm sure it's Kenny's voice."Allysa, here we are."He said. I looked where the voice came from. I immediately saw them and went to them. When I sat down, I
