"Thank you," I muttered while staring into the distance.

I felt shy to look at him—I don't even know why, but maybe it's because this is the first time we've seen each other again after three years.

The two of us are here now, up on the stage near the field. I’ve already lost the motivation to attend class because of what happened earlier. It's already halfway through the second period, and soon it’ll be time to go home anyway. I’ll just wait for class to end before heading home.

"Are you okay?" he asked. I immediately turned to him and caught him looking at me.

He’s worried—I can see it in his eyes, but… why?

“Probably you’re not, it’s written on your face,” he said, looking away from me. I could only sigh deeply, trying to stop myself from crying.

"I saw that post circulating in the social media that's why every students here in campus were talking and badmouthing about you."

So he saw it too. Well, it’s been all over social media, even here in the university. It seems like almost e

  • Chasing Athena (ENGLISH)   Chapter 10: Being Pregnant

    I quickly stepped down from the chair and tightly hugged Aunt Rosa. It felt like I was suddenly brought back to reality because of what she said.In all the pain and sadness I was feeling, I had forgotten that there was a little one growing inside me.“I-I’m sorry, Auntie… I didn’t mean to,” I cried out.What I did was terrible. I didn’t even think about the baby inside me—about becoming a mother. It wasn’t their fault, yet I dragged them into my sadness and anger. I deeply regret what I did now.“Here, drink some water,” Aunt Rosa said, handing me a glass of water. I quickly took it and drank.I suddenly placed my hand on my stomach and thought to myself.Hang in there, baby. Mama won’t make another mistake that could hurt you.“Are you okay?” Aunt Rosa asked sadly, holding both of my hands.I gave a small smile and nodded in response. “Yes, I’m okay, Auntie. I’m sorry for what I did. I won’t do it again.”“I hope you never do that again. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. B

  • Chasing Athena (ENGLISH)   Chapter 1: Valentine's Day

    I didn’t feel like getting up—I was too lazy to go to school. It was already seven in the morning, and I hadn’t even started getting ready. I don’t know, I just felt so unmotivated today.I’m only in second year high school, but here I am, already being lazy. It’s not that I hate studying—my quiz and exam scores are always high, and I consistently do well in recitations and projects too. But sometimes, laziness just gets the better of me."Ugh, so tiring," I muttered to myself, finally deciding to get out of bed. I grabbed my towel and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.I let out a deep sigh, in the end, I’m still going to school anyway."Dear, Athena."That was Aunt Rosa’s voice, my mom’s sister who raised me ever since my mom passed away.I was about to take a shower, but that didn’t happen. I was holding a bucket of water when I heard her enter my room. What could she possibly need?"Yes, Auntie? I’m in the bathroom. Is there something you need?" I called out from inside. I e

  • Chasing Athena (ENGLISH)   Chapter 2: Secret Admirer

    I was shocked when I looked at the white rose resting on top of my desk. I never expected to receive something like this today. I thought no one would have the guts to give me something like this, but I was wrong.Could it really be the same person sending all these, or is it someone else?"Oh? Who's this one from?" Vanessa asked in surprise as she reached my side. There was no note with it, so I couldn’t tell who it was from."I don’t know," I replied shortly. I looked at the boys in my class, but none of them seemed to act any differently, so I was pretty sure none of them had left it for me."Sandra..." I called out to one of my classmates. She immediately looked at me and walked over."What’s up, Thena? Do you need something?" she asked, smiling at me."Did you see who left this on my desk?" I asked. She glanced at the flower I was holding, then seemed to think for a moment. I really hoped she saw who it was, so I could finally figure out who was sending these."Oh, that. Someone

  • Chasing Athena (ENGLISH)   Chapter 3: Mr. VIP

    "Hey, Athena!"I was snapped back to reality because of what Vanessa did. This friend of mine, I swear—every time I’m deep in thought, she just has to ruin it."What now? I’m thinking here and you just had to butt in," I grumbled, but she only laughed."Sorry bestie, it’s just—you were totally spacing out. What were you thinking about again? Your secret admirer? My God, let it go already. We’re in our first year of college and he still hasn’t revealed himself," she said as she placed a cup of coffee in front of me.Geez. She’s right, though. We’re already in college and I still haven’t found out who the first guy to make my heart race really is. I’m not even sure if that guy I met three years ago… was really him.After what happened between the two of us, I never saw him again—and until now, I haven’t even returned the shirt he lent me. I don’t even know where he is now, but from what I heard, he went abroad to study. That’s why it feels impossible that he’s the same *Mr. Z* who’s sti

  • Chasing Athena (ENGLISH)   Chapter 4: Room 614

    I was relieved to leave that VIP room. It felt like I could finally breathe again after dealing with Boss Yael's friends, especially Mr. VIP. Even now, I'm still thinking about what Thomas said. What could that mean?Mr. VIP's stare earlier felt like it had something behind it. I'm not assuming, but that's truly how I felt. His gaze seemed to reach deep into my soul, like he was observing every move of my body. It wasn’t creepy, but it was certainly confusing. I don’t know what to think about that man—why does he look at me like that?Sigh, I ended up drinking three shots of tequila because I couldn't stop thinking about him."Athena."I had only been sitting at the bar counter for five minutes when I heard Boss Yael's voice again. What could he possibly need from me now? I really didn’t want to go back to the VIP room. I might get grilled by his friends again."Yes? Boss Yael, what do you need?" I asked, forcing a smile."I need your help," he said, which surprised me."Boss Yael, ar

    WARNING! SPG SCENES!I couldn't do anything but stay there. Honestly, I wanted to leave because I could feel this strange energy around me, and on top of that, I was starting to feel dizzy. But he wouldn't let me go, even after I insisted several times.This was definitely not the right decision to have helped him. I really should have just left him downstairs and let the guard take care of him. But I would feel guilty if something happened to him.He walked toward his bedroom, and I just followed him with my eyes while I stayed seated on the couch. I breathed a sigh of relief when he made it inside without stumbling.This was my chance to leave.I walked slowly towards the door, but after only a few steps, I suddenly heard a thud from inside his room.I just run a hand to my face out of frustration as I walked toward his room.When you’re unlucky, Athena.I even made the sign of the cross before entering his room. And there I found him sprawled on the floor with no shirt on.I immedi

  • Chasing Athena (ENGLISH)   Chapter 6: Painful Regrets

    "Agh!" I groaned, clutching my head. I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by an unfamiliar place. My eyes widened in shock when I realized I was in a condo.Whose condo is this?What happened? How did I end up here?"A-Agh!" I groaned again as I felt the pain in my lower body. Because of this, I slowly started to remember what happened last night."Oh my God," I whispered, covering my mouth.I was suddenly dismayed with despair as I remembered everything that had happened between me and that guy. I couldn't believe I had slept with a guy I barely knew."Why did I do that?" I asked myself, tears finally falling. I covered my face and sobbed loudly.I couldn't believe I had done that. I never imagined we would end up like that. I'm not that kind of girl, who would just sleep with a guy she didn't know well.Why did I do that? Why did I do something that would only ruin my life, my self?"Leave, once you're awake."This was written on a note I found on the bedside table, next to ten t

  • Chasing Athena (ENGLISH)   Chapter 7: Rumors

    It’s been a week since that incident with that guy. And it’s been a week of being gossiped about by people around here. False rumors that are ruining my reputation.Because of what happened, everyone thinks I work at the bar to sell my body, in other words, a prostitute. I don’t know how it got to that point. I only told Aunt Rosa and Vanessa, but how did it spread all over the whole neighborhood? Neither Aunt Rosa nor Vanessa told anyone, but somehow, those rumors are everywhere."Dear, how are you feeling?" Aunt Rosa asked when she saw me coming down the stairs from my room."Still the same, Auntie, but I’m okay. Please don’t worry about me," I responded.I had just woken up because I wasn’t feeling well. I don’t know why, but I think it’s just because of fatigue and lack of sleep."Well, that’s good to hear, but later, don’t take any medicine, just for today," she said, which made me a little confused."Why, Auntie?" I asked, confused. She avoided looking at me and quickly headed t

    “Are you sure you’re okay to go back?” Aunt Rosa asked as I came down from my room.“Yes, Aunt Rosa, I’m feeling much better now, so please don’t worry about me,” I replied.“Alright then, just be careful. If you start feeling unwell again, don’t hesitate to call me,” she said with concern, pulling me into a tight hug.“Yes, Auntie. I’ll get going now,” I said as I bid her goodbye and left the house.I was heading to school. I had already missed several days, so I really needed to go back. I’d missed a bunch of activities and quizzes, and even though I was still feeling a bit dizzy and my body was heavy, I had to push myself to attend so I could catch up. I didn’t really have a choice—not if I wanted to keep up, even if part of me still didn’t feel ready to return.“ATHENAAA!”I was startled when Vanessa suddenly greeted me like that. Her shout was so loud that almost every student at the entrance turned to look at her. Her face was unreadable, like something was wrong, but I couldn’t
