AQUA
I heaved a sigh before entering Saika. The students were already in a hurry and busy which is unusual. The classes had just started a few days ago yet people seems to have a lot of workload to do.
"What are you thinking?" I almost jumped upon hearing that voice.
Nilingon ko ito and it was Steven. Again. When did he arrive? And why is he talking to me? It's not so him.
"Why are people so busy today?" I asked.
"I heard from my brothers that we'll have to socialize with the seniors."
Socialize? "That sucks. Who'd want to socialize with them, anyway? And for what reason? A waste of time. Tss."
I heard him chuckle, "We think very much alike. It could have been better if we started off as acquiantances. Good acquiantance."
He said
Aqualyn Jillian Ferrer is the epitome of perfection. She has the beauty, fame, wealth, and brain. She is idolized by everyone except for one一 herself. Everyone thinks she's perfect, but for her something is missing一 love. Steven Aries Scott is the real definition of a zombie, lifeless. His eyes speaks coldness, danger and sadness. A nerd. He's quiet and dislikes noisy and nosy people. He's like that for a reason, and that is the incident years ago. His life turned upside down when he met the most annoying and bully girl,ー Jillian. One word, One rule, Chain of memories And padlock of emotions, Path will lead to t
AQUA“Eline! I will find you, sister!”Sumisinghap ng hangin akong napaupo sa aking kama at hingal na tumingin sa paligid. My eyes were wide open and still gasping for air. I dreamed of it, again.I can always see that scenario in my head since I was 5. I never told my parents because something’s telling me not to. I just found myself not trusting anyone since the day that I lost my memories.When I was six, I woke up in a white room. Everything was white and only then when I realized that I was in the hospital.I was hit by a car while playing with someone I cannot recall. And because of that, we we
STEVEN "WHAAAT?!!" "Ano ba 'yan! Ang bano naman maglaro e," "Isa pa, nakatiyamba ka lang!" "Hey, can you lower down your voices? Kuya's still sleeping," "Mamaya ka na manermon, Yzekiel! Sadya ang pag iingay namin para magising na 'yang kuya mo." Nagising ako dahil sa ingay na naririnig ko. At nang iikot ko ang tingin sa paligid ay bumungad sa akin ang dalawa kong kapatid na unggoy na nasa playstation ko. Samantalang nasa may mini sofa si Yzekiel at nagbabasa ng libro. "Araaayyy,"
AQUA"Who is she?" I asked Sheena on our way to the cafeteria.That Karen gives me a vibe that I should be careful when she's around.I don't like her. That's it. Her guts and the way she looks at me. She's acting like she owns the whole place. I really hate people parading their superiority and toxicity. Dumbass."Sus. Campus Queen kineme. Siya lang naman ang nagsasabi no'n. Wala naman talagang may gusto sa kanya dahil sa ugali niya. Mayabang lang dahil mayaman at siyempre maraming connections." paliwanag ni Sheena.I raised a brow and smirked. Rich, huh? I bet her family's wealth is nothing compared to ours. I guess being the daughter of the Fe
AQUA Heto ako ngayon sa classroom namin at nakatingin sa may bintana. It's our second day and I'm still thinking about the guy yesterday. Isn't it weird if I find him familiar? And a little bit of connection with that person? "Best, hoy! Start na," pasigaw na bulong ni Sheena. Agad naman akong napatayo at bumati sa guro. At nang pag-upo namin ay nagulat ako dahil may kasabay na akong umupo. Tiningnan ko ito at agad ding inalis dahil naiilang ako. Did I just feel something strange? Kanina lang I was talking about a certain connection. Is this college? Really, huh? Everything i
STEVEN "Bro! Daan muna tayo 7/11 ha?" biglang sulpot ni kuya Sam sa harap ko. Uwian na ngayon at as usual sabay kami umuwi lahat. Palagi naman kaming ganito kahit na nasa ibang eskwelahan ako. Pero minsan hindi namin nagagawa lalo na kapag extended ang klase o 'di kaya'y may practice o project pang kailangan tapusin. Nang makarating kami sa 7/11 ay kanya-kanya kaming order pati bayad. Inumin lang ang binili ko dahil nauuhaw ako. Sino bang hindi makakaramdam ng pagod kung buong araw papakiramdaman mo ang paligid mo dahil baka pagtripan ka. Hindi k
STEVEN Nagmumuni-muni ako sa garden namin nang may biglang humawak sa balikat ko. Mabuti nalang at napigilan ko ang sarili ko dahil kung hindi ay nasapak ko si mama. Kung bakit ba naman kasi biglang susulpot. Malalim pa naman ang iniisip ko. "Bakit, ma?" tanong ko. Bumuntong hininga muna siya bago ako inayang umupo. Pinagmamasdan ko lang siya nang ngitian niya ako. Isang malungkot na ngiti, "Masaya ka ba, anak?" "Po?" gulat kong ani. Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla niyang naisip na hindi ako masaya. At hindi ko rin alam kung paano sasagutin ang tanong niya. "Tinatanong ko kung masaya ka ba?" pag ulit niya. "Alam mo, nak. Huwag mo na sagutin dahil alam ko naman. Tinitingnan ko lang kung may pagbabago ba sa'yo. Gusto ko lang sabihin na nandito ako at ang mga kapatid mo para sa'yo." aniya. &nbs
AQUA I woke up early this morning that's why I decided to work out. Although nakasched naman talaga dapat na bukas, I'll just do it today. And Sheena said na may PE kami ngayon kaya okay na rin ito for warm up. I shook my head when a memory flashed inside my head. A memory of how me and Sheena met. It was a hot afternoon when I decided to go for a walk outside. I just want to skip my boring classes and relax. My mom won't let us attend school and only provides us private teachers for our lessons. But mostly, it's about business management and proper etiquette. I'm only ten and yet I know a lot about business. It literally sucks knowing that my cousin have lessons on how to be a lady but not how to survive. I attend meetings with my parents and their investors w

AQUA Upon entering Steven's house, I was greeted with warm welcome. His family was very accomodating yet silly. They keep on asking me questions about my relation with Steven. At first, I was really nervous. But seeing his mother smile at me, all my worries were gone. It was like my mother smiling at me with ease. A mother of my own. It was a silly idea. What I felt back there...is something I couldn't explain. I couldn't find the reason why I felt so safe. Why their family feels like home. Especially him, his gaze. Everything about him. A sense of familiarity rushed over me. No matter how impossible the idea was. I'm comfortable. "I'm sorry about that," he finally spoke after a long silence. Humiga ako sa kama niya without feeling any shame on my body. I feel exhausted by the unexpected inte
STEVEN I looked at my wristwatch at napabuntong hininga. 4:59 pm. 5 pm sharp ang usapan namin at nandito na ako sa waiting shed. A few meters away from our school gate. Tss. Hindi naman niya siguro balak na i-ditch ako. Filipino time nga naman. "Hey. Sorry to keep you waiting," someone said and stopped in front of me. Umalis ako sa pagkakasandal at pinagpagan ang likod ng pantalon ko. Buti naman at dumating siya. "I just got here," sagot ko at nag umpisang maglakad. Naramdaman ko namang sumunod siya. "Good. Where are we going?" "Sa bahay." maikling sagot ko. "Wait. Maglalakad lang tayo?" tanong niya na ikinahinto ko.
AQUA I woke up early today and decided to go to school early. I already texted Sheena and on the way na siya ngayon. Nag ikot-ikot muna ako sa campus while waiting for her. I want to familiarize myself here. And I want to relax din. My Moma told me that we need to prepare next week dahil may bisita raw sila. Investors, I guess. And of course, as their daughter kasama ako sa haharap. It's part of my training dahil ako lang din naman daw ang magmamana ng company. The hell I care with their company. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. I admit that I do enjoy learning sometimes. The more knowledgeable you are, the more powerful you become. But my case is different because they are using me to their advantage. Para bang nabuhay ako
STEVEN Kakatapak palang ng paa ko sa school gate ng Saika pero pakiramdam ko'y ibang mundo ang pinuntahan ko. Tss. Nakakapraning na talagang pumasok sa eskwelahang ito. Biruin mong kakapasok ko palang ay juice ang sasalubong sa akin at pagkatapos naman ay may papansin kang katabi na kinulang ata sa aruga. Idagdag mo pa ang tunay na pabida sa buong Saika na kaklase ko pala. Karen Choi ang pangalan. Siya ang nagtapon ng juice sa akin at hindi man lang humingi ng tawad. Pasalamat siya at nagbabagong buhay na ako kung hindi ay pinatulan ko na siya. Ang lakas ng loob para kutyain ako dahil lang sa ayos ko e mukha naman siyang espasol na panda. Ang itim ng buong mata akala mo lider ng mga taong may ibang kakayahan.
