The Castro family, together with Jun, had a pleasant supper that night and, they had a small conversation while eating. The discussion; was mainly centered on the children’s school life and, after a while, it shifted to the adults talking about their working life.
After they- were done with their supper, Angelo’s mother began to wash the dishes. Angelo and Jun went back to the living room- to continue studying while Mr. Castro- was watching his favorite TV show- beside them. Angelus, on the other hand- as soon as he was done- with his meal. He went straight- to his room- to continue with the match- that was- postponed; earlier since his mom had barged- into his room- unannounced.
Angelo was trying- to concentrate on what- he is; reading. But he was unable- to do so since the volume- of the TV was so loud- that it hinders Angelo; To fully; understand- what he is; reading. Even Jun had long lost his focus on- what he was studying and was now happily chatting with Angel
Finally, the day of the examination arrived, both Angelo and Jun were nervous and, at the same time, excited. Their edgy because the outcome; of the test would determine if they could attend the group date or not. They were also thrilled since after the examination- it would be the start of their school break. Angelo became fired-up as he would make sure that- he would pass the test and attend the group date- that their seniors had organized. As Angelo was so excited, he had woken up so early that it would even make the roosters hide because of shame. And since Angelo had a hard time going back to sleep- Angelo decided to go to school early. It was still dark when Angelo arrived at his school. He greeted the guards and the utility personnel as he hops towards the location of his classroom. When Angelo had gotten inside- of the classroom, he began to stride towards his seat. He then places his things under his table. After setting his things down, Angelo sat on his ch
After the inspection- was done, the proctor discovered a total of five students who had either slipped a small piece of note in their I.D's or had writings in their arms that- were hidden under their uniforms. These students were sent straight away- to the guidance office for questioning and whether they could continue taking the test or not. It depends on the outcome of the investigation that the guidance counselor would conduct. Angelo and Jun both heaved a sigh as they were thankful that they didn't think about cheating this time. They were lucky enough to have studied for three days and opted to share each other's answers. The both of them- then went to the school cafeteria- to select what they would eat during lunch. The both of them decided to sit on the corner of the cafeteria- which is a slightly obscured location from the student's eyes. The place was also perfect so that other students would not eavesdrop on their conversation. Placing their food trays on t
The days had passed quickly- that in the blink of an eye. The results of- who had topped the examination had already been; posted on the bulletin board. Students scrambled to get to the front so that they could see who had come on top in their respective grade levels. One of them was Jun that- was pushing his way through the crowd- to get to the; front. When he had finally managed to arrive in the front area, Jun then scanned through the list of names on the bulletin. He started to read the bottom- names and slowly darted his eyes to the top list. When Jun had finally caught sight of the; name he was finding, he exited the crowd by squeezing his way out from the hoard of students. Sweat was dripping on Jun's face when he had finally managed to break free from the crowd. He then went to a corner where Angelo was leisurely leaning on. J
When the both of them had finally arrived at the location- where the group date was being- held. Angelo; and Jun were greeted- by the sight of various students from different schools attending the said event. Angelo had also seen some familiar faces from their school- they were either his junior or seniors in school. He greeted them respectfully as; they went to the registration area- to receive their numbers and to also inquire- where their table is; situated.Arriving at the registration area, both Angelo and Jun showed the QR codes they have; received the other day from one of their seniors. The person sitting- on the registration booth, as soon as the QR code was; presented in front of him, instantly scanned the code to; see if they were indeed students who are; approved to join their group date event. After the person assigned to the registration booth had; confirmed- that both Angelo and Jun were; included on their master list. He then gave them their; respective number
After the emcee had said his ending monologue, he gracefully left the stage and let the staff do their jobs. The personnel assigned- to where the ladies are sitting persuaded all of them- that is on the area of their assignment- to slowly make their way to the table that they think would suit- best with their personality.With the staff's signal, the ladies grabbed their brochures. While reading it, they decided to slowly- make their way- towards the table- where their preferred guy is; sitting.As the ladies- were slowly making their way to the boy's table, all of them became excited and as; well as nervous. Some of the male students can't control the shaking of their knees- as they wait for the ladies to approach their tables.Angelo was also one of those people- who felt like his guts had turned upside down as he; waited for the gorgeous ladies to approach the table he was occupying. He was tense since the fellows he is sitting together- are so high in their
The moment one of the backstage staff had seen the look of helplessness on the emcee's face, he sighs; in defeat; since it looked like the emcee was once again unable to keep secrets. Without much choice, the backstage staff just signaled the emcee- to announce everything since he had already uttered the; biggest secret- that they had been planning.As soon as the emcee had received the okay signal from the backstage staff, he then gave his sincerest apology since he was unable to keep shut his mouth this time again. The backstage; staff waved his hand as if to tell the emcee- that everything was just okay.The emcee then looked towards- the pack of students who- were waiting for him; to validate that what they heard from the emcee was; accurate. The emcee- as soon as he had seen the eyes- of the attendees; that looks- like hungry wolve
Inside the coffee shop, Angelo was waiting for Jun as; he was sipping a hot cup of coffee. He was sitting on the far corner of the shop surrounded by ornamental plants- that people would not find him easily.The door of the coffee shop opened, and a young man went inside the shop. He was wearing a black baseball cap paired with a black face mask on his face so- that his beauty- was entirely hidden away from view. The young man went to the counter and ordered his drink. After paying for his coffee, the barista then gave the young man a buzzer- which the young man took and proceeded- to the direction of where Angelo was sitting.The young man was treading with confidence as if he; own the place- to where Angelo was sitting, arriving at the opposite side of Angelo's chair, the young man took a seat. Angelo- who was busy playing shooting ga
The moment Angelo and Mark shook each other's hand, both of them felt a soft electric current run through their body. Angelo and Mark became dazed for a moment; they then look- at each other in the eyes as if they are; in shock by what they had just discovered."But I'm not glad meeting you, dude. And what is this sudden electric current that I'm feeling? Is this a sign that I've found my nemesis?" Angelo mumbled while still grasping Mark's hand."Are you saying something?" Mark curiously inquired as he was bewildered what Angelo was saying in a subdued voice. "Could it be that- you have suddenly fallen in love with me, and it's all because of the electricity you've felt just now?"Angelo sneered at Mark's words, and when he perceived; that they were still clutching each other's hands,
It was a typical yet bustling day inside a particular supermarket; the reason for its overly busy day was all because the people were trying to benefit from the clearance sale held inside the establishment. While most people were having a fierce battle in buying the goods that had an enormous amount slashed from the original price, a single distinct person was trying to avoid the large crowds of people.That person is a woman who was distinctive among the crowds of people since she is the only woman wearing an overly large dress and sporting a swollen belly. As she lightly rubs her belly, the woman looks at the crowded people with envy before looking at her big stomach. The woman smiled when she felt a light kick in her stomach. She then turned her body in the crowd's opposite direction and tried to grab a box of cereals in the utmost section of the shelf.The woman tried to stand on her toes as she tried to reach the cereal, and when she could not get even a single bo
“I’m going to go back to my room,” Aimie tried to steady her breathing since she was flustered by Mark’s back hug. “You better leave now if you don’t want to stay on the road driving the whole night.” “I know you’re mad because of what I have told you during the party, and I don’t know what to do for your anger to vanish. Tell me what I should do for you to forgive me.” Angelo muttered as he leaned his face on the nook of Aimie’s neck. Aimie felt the breathing of Mark against her neck; goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body because of how close Mark was to her. For a moment, Aimie doesn’t know what to do with how things progress, it was just a few minutes ago when Mark was leisurely sitting on the couch with a haughty look on his face, but now he was trying to earn her forgiveness. This action of Mark made Aimie feel weird since, although she had grown used to Mark’s loving gestures, it was her first time to see him sincerely ask for forgiveness. Tho
Thinking about those things made Aimie unconsciously shed a tear. She felt that her life would be simple now than when she was still Angelo, but she didn’t expect to experience so much heartache in Aimie’s body.If she had the chance to see the original Aimie next time, she would be sure to ask for a reward from her since all that was given to her was grief when she had possessed the original Aimie’s body. She made a mental note to take all the money of the real Aimie, including her pocket money, to spend it lavishly for her around the world voyage after this whole ordeal is done.Her daydreaming came to a halt when Mark unexpectedly wiped the tears that accumulated from the corner of her eyes. Aimie winced and was about to back away from Mark when Mark had tightened her hold on her waist suddenly.“What do you think are you doing?” Aimie tried to create some distance away from Mark using all the force her body had, and as she did s
It was as if time had stopped between the adults that were inside the house. No one wanted to break the heavy atmosphere around them, as if they were all comfortable about their hefty feelings. But soon, the suffocating feeling vanished when a loud wail of the child that Aimie was holding was heard throughout the entire house of Rain.They simultaneously looked at the child in Aimie’s arms with a look that was a combination of curiousness, bewilderment, anxiousness, and peevishness. While the attention was still on the child, Aimie glanced at Angelus’s way; her gaze was full of pleading since she didn’t know what to do with the child in her arms.Before the child’s wail could escalate, Angelus had fortunately seen the look of help in Aimie’s eyes. Angelus quickly took his younger sister in Aimie’s arms and carried his younger sister with a bottle of milk in his other hand.“Do you perhaps have a spare room so that my you
The soft and white ball with a pair of chubby hands and feet hugged Angelus tightly, and because of the height difference between the soft as mochi child and Angelus, the lovely child could only hug Angelus’s leg.The child’s big pair of sparkling eyes, completed with plump reddish cheeks, would make anyone feel in love with the lovable child. Seeing the cute interaction between Angelus and the adorable child made Aimie feel jealous since she also wanted to pinch the child’s chubby cheeks.While Aimie was dying in enviousness, the child hugging the leg of Angelus suddenly looked at Aimie’s way, making Aimie flinch for a second before giving the child a friendly smile. Even if she wanted to hug the child but given her current situation, it seems Aimie couldn’t act friendly with the cute child since she is just a stranger.Unbeknownst to Aimie, she gave a facial expression, a; mixture of longing and sadness that the child couldn&rsquo
Standing in front of a familiar place, Aimie’s conviction of living the life of the original Aimie faltered slowly. The once place she never thought she would get to see again was now before her. Aimie wanted to curse out whoever was playing with her conviction. The resoluteness she had of not seeing the parents Angelo had grown up with fell down the drain the instant she was standing right in front of the house that had the memories of the family she had missed so much.As Aimie was standing right in front of the house, recollection of the past flashed through her.Every time Angelo returned home, this house would greet him, and though his parents rarely returned home because of work, it didn’t feel like the abode was empty. The lingering warmth didn’t make him think that this house made him lonely, but why does this house who would always bring him comfort now feel as though it had become melancholic.“Is it alright for me to be here?&r
Suddenly, the memories of the past had flashed through Aimie’s mind. From how friendship was formed between Angelo and Mark. Their unruly days as students and how they formed deep friendships were shattered because of a single misunderstanding. The mouth that opened instantly closed, and whatever harsh words she was about to say to Mark were stuck in her throat. No matter how much Aimie wanted to hate Mark like in the past but seeing the man she had cherished for long as a close confidant, Aimie could not totally despise the man in front of her.Tracing the man’s fine features in front of her made Aimie realize that she had totally fallen for Mark. No matter how she denies it, it can’t hide the fact that she could not hide her feelings. Though she had already realized that she had feelings for Mark when the original Aimie and her met, it wasn’t like this moment when she could not hide it completely.The attraction she had for the man was undenia
After Aimie had sent her resignation letter via the courier service, she made her way to the meeting place that Angelus had texted her earlier. As she went to the area, Aimie’s heart was widely beating since she could finally see her family after a few months. While the car was making its way to the place, Aimie contemplated how she would act towards her family. Whether she would be respectful or nonchalant, Aimie was confused. It has been a long time since she hadn’t seen her own family, the family whom she had grown up to, her original family- Angelo’s family, whom her original self had promised to protect. And one thing that Aimie is sure would be hard to do when she meets her parents is to control herself from not crying in front of her parents.The moment the car that Rain had lent to her had finally come to a stop. Aimie looked at the tall building that was as if reaching the sky because of its height. While looking out of the car, Aimie contemplated h
As soon as Aimie arrived at their meeting area, she could not tidy her swollen face since Rain was already standing a few meters away. Rain had a look that hinted she was curious why the face of Aimie had gotten to the point of being swollen red like she had been crying for a long time.“What happened to you?” just like what Aimie had expected, Rain inquired why she had gotten to the point of being unrecognizable.Aimie wanted to just drop the matter, so instead of truthfully answering that she happened to cross paths with Mark, Aimie came up with another plausible reason why her face was in so much mess.“It’s because of the movie that I watched while waiting for you to arrive,” Aimie deduced that using this reason was more effective than telling Rain that- she had tripped on the air and cried for hours.But it seems Rain didn’t believe Aimie’s story since she was looking at Aimie with scrutinizing eyes, but rega
