I really don't want people to get hurt because of me, so as soon as possible I distance myself from other people. Dave and I are currently stuck in a situation where he can't get away from me because no matter which way I go, he goes the same way. "What if you're tired of me?" I averted my eyes from him to ask that question. I swallowed hard because of the tension I felt between the two of us. When I think of him leaving me, I have a heavy feeling. I don't know what that means, and I have no idea what kind of feeling that is. "Why would I get tired of you? I really like you... " He said softly, and gently stroked his thumb on my little hand. I tried to get my face serious but suddenly a smirk crept into my lips. I averted my gaze from him and grabbed his arm to pull him into the garden even though I don’t know which direction to go. He laughed when we ended up on the dirty kitchen of their house. He removed my grip on his arm and then he just took my

After graduation and recognition, we went home immediately, Dave and I could no longer talk. We just stared at each other throughout the ceremony. Tyra didn't come with me when I got home and preferred to go to Sirius' house, I don't know if they are just fling or they are in a relationship. I'd rather not ask any more questions. "Won't you invite Dave and your other friends?" Mama asked me, I was busy removing the medals from my neck, when I removed them, I just put them on the coffee table in the living room. "I'm not sure, they'll celebrate at their houses too," I answered. They are busy preparing meals. It’s just a little food. Enough for us and the few visitors to come if there are any. "Is that so?" I just nodded at what she said. I was about to go to the table to eat when I heard a noise outside. I didn’t longer wondered who the people were laughing out loud because I already knew the voices of the laughing ones. I looked outsid

AC's party ended early so we also went home early. We just sang and ate the food they prepared. We also talked. We are still with Syrien, Tyra and Sirius, as well as Dave and me. I really feel that when we are always together we never run out of stories."You don't like seafoods, you only ate lumpia awhile ago." Dave said, frowning at me.AC’s parents prepared a lot, especially seafoods. I didn't eat seafoods because I have an allergy, and I didn't know how to eat them too."Allergies." I reasoned out, he was nodding and he opened the car door for me because we’re on our way home.One week already past after graduation, everything is quite unusual. I got used to waking up early to get ready to go to school. But now I don't do much and don't have any busy school activities.A week ago, AC and I had our graduation party.

I just walked home, but he still followed me. Even though my house is far away, we were able to get to my house quickly because of the fast pace of our walk."Let's talk, Joy. You are mad at me when I don't know the reason why." He said again. As we walked he would say that minute by minute. My ears are almost deafening."I'm not mad! Why should I be mad! There's nothing to be mad about." I answered his question again.I heard him sigh, he took my arm but I remove harshly his hand. He tried to hold it again, he pulled me more aggressively causing me to stop walking."If you're upset about my vacation, I'm not going to take a vacation. I'm just going to stay here--""I'm not mad at you for going on vacation! For godsake! Take a vacation when you want, go home her in the Philippines when you want! It's better if you don't come back!" I shouted, I can almost see my tendon. He closes his eyes, maybe annoyed by my shout."Why won’t I come bac

22 | SHSMy senior high school journey began last month. I’ve been a STEM student for a month and I’ll admit I’m having a hard time. It is twice tiring than in junior high school, it's a good thing this semester didn't include basic chemistry subject. Right now, pre-calculus is the most difficult subject, but somehow I'm able to cope. Next sem, I will have a basic chemistry. It's good then because I'm sure I'll go crazy.Dave, on the other hand, always take me and picks me up in school. We also always eat together even though we are now in different sections and strands.My classmate is Syrien, while Dave and AC are classmates. Alex took ABM, if I hadn’t met her the last time, I wouldn’t have known. Dave also had no idea what his cousin had taken."Does anyone know who owns this paper? There is no name." My oral communication teacher said, many of my classmates looked at the paper, but no one knew. "I know your strand is diffic

I don't know if I am being too dramatic or what. I suddenly hugged Dave who’s waiting outside the door of our house. I know he was surprised at what I did. He also hugged me and felt his lips on my head. "Are you done?" I nodded at his question, he gently stroked my hair. I pressed my head to his chest, he's wearing a hoodie and nightgown pants. He is also carrying a plastic bag. I am addicted to his smell, I will never get tired of smelling him for the rest of my life. "I contacted your groupmates, others responded to my message." I looked up at him. I couldn't see his face, but I know he's mad. "You shouldn't have done that... that is not your business." I rolled my eyes, he caressed my cheek and gently sque

It's August and the grade 12 STEM students will be camping. I don't know if it's just us because I haven't heard from HUMSS students.   I decided not to go, but when I told my mother, she forced me to go camping. I had no one to talk to there, except Syrien. I also don't enjoy what's happening because almost all my classmates don't like me.    "I'll buy you a tent later, so come along." Mama forced me to kiss her on the cheek. I was about to go to school and every time I go to school she reminds me the camping.   I snorted and ignored what she said. I saw Dave heading towards me, but I had already met him halfway towards my house.   "Did you eat already?" I asked. He nodded at me and helped me walk. The road wa

  Shaking my hand I put the cellphone in my bag, suddenly my brain went blank on what to do. I was just thinking of going home and not worrying about the entrance exam because of mama's shout on the phone that made me nervous. Dave looked at me, frowning. I know at times it is pale. I am restless and I want to go home at these times. “What happened? You look nervous…” Dave said worriedly to me, he held my hand which was cold with nervousness. "I want to go home." That was all I could say and he nodded. He talked to them Syrien, I just didn't pay attention to that because I wanted to go home to Pangasinan right away. AC came up to me and hugged me, as well as Syrien and Ty
