"Oh! Right, Alex. He's from Cebu, and I guess you went to the same high school," Miyah said while chewing her food.
"Really?" I pretended to be surprised by Miyah's statement. I acted like I didn't know him as well. I wanted to cry, but I knew I should not ruin this day.
"Yeah, right baby?" she asked the man from my past.
"Yes babe," he smiled sweetly at Miyah.
This is killing me.
"Please excuse me!" I said, standing up. I went to the restroom and broke down. I know I'm still wearing makeup, but I can't help it now. I can't handle it.
Why now, Alex?
Why Miyah?
Am I really entangled in my past?
Why can't I be happy for Miyah?
I stayed there for almost thirty minutes until

I WANT YOU BACK (English) Chapter 1: Stupidity
We all have that dream of finding the guy who would perfectly love us despite our imperfections. We even adore those hunks we saw in the movies we watched and wished that one of them would be our partners for life.

"We really planned to meet there, Sir." He even looked into my eyes. "I was stripped in the stairs adjacent to Mrs. Magno's class that's why my uniform got dirty," he paused again and continued what he was saying. "I just couldn't hold my excitement to kiss this young lady in front of me-""Yuck! Are you hearing yourself, Patrick!?" I wanted to hit him this time. "I just met you and really? Claiming me as your girlfriend? Oh c'mon wake up!" I stood while waving my hand

"Can't you see what time is it?? Stupid!""Hi pumpkin!" and my eyes widened. I hurriedly turned off my phone.I feel so annoyed. "What the heck, where did he get my number?"Because of that stupid mistake, my calvary has already begun. I couldn't even sleep again thinking about where Patrick got my number from.

I WANT YOU BACK (English) Chapter 4: Friend Request
We were about to leave the mall when suddenly Miyah's phone rang. Her boyfriend asks for a video call from her, but she refuses because she was too shy because I am here. So I gave the honor, we parted ways for the privacy of the two of them. I just smiled and bid goodbye. I just wandered around and saw gift wrappers and souvenirs, until I found a keychain similar to mine. It was the same replica of the keychain that I have. It was the Eifel Tower with an inked Paris. It was still attached to my bag. We were in our 2nd month when he gave it to me. It's just sad to think that until now he's still on my mind.Continuation of Flashback.Angrily, I leave the school and grab a taxi going home. I lied in my bed without even changing my clothes.

I wake up in a room painted with white color.Where am I? What am I doing here?I was about to stand when I saw my hand with dextrose and the guy sleeping next to me was Alex.Alex?I check my watch and it's already 3 in the morning. I've been sleeping for too long. I can see, it was Alex who rescued me from that freaking library.Why, Alex?He moved a little and opened his eyes. He is intently looking at me. I got so nervous that I couldn't understand what to do. He looked so scary. I can see how fierce his gaze is, just like the first time we met. There is always hatred in his eyes.I can't find any words to thank him. I've been swallowing my saliva several times while observing every inch of his movement. Carefully, I don't want him to notice.He suddenly stood up. "You're awake? Stupid!" he said softly.I don't know how to respond to those words. All I know is I'm having a heart attack right now from thinking too much about what happened in the library. I was really afraid. It see

"Miss me?"His voice made me stand from where I was staying.Oh, shit!He's really awake. My hand became shaky while answering the phone. My heart keeps pounding so fast that I can't even control myself on how to breathe properly."I know you fucking miss me, pumpkin!" He chuckled and cut the line. I know he is smirking right now.What's with you, Alex?That made me more wide awake at this hour. It seems that the situation has become upside down. I missed him not messing with me.Jerk!Feeling blessed?I can't get why he's playing hard to get this time!I keep talking to myself. I handed the folded folder on top of my desk while calming myself. I eyed the air conditioner, thinking that it was not functioning because of the sweat coming from my forehead.Huh! You are not handsome anyway. Tss!I kept punching my pillows. I can't get enough from him answering the call. I couldn't find the perfect position that would put me to sleep.I'm in the middle of my confusion when I hear a beep fr

Alex dragged me to the Cafeteria. Yeah! He is holding my hand and everyone is staring at us."Hey!" He touched me. "Are you alright?" he asked me. He had the guts to ask me if I was okay. Honestly, I don't feel like talking to him."Pumpkin?" he asked softly.I raised an eyebrow again and pointed my finger at him."One more pumpkin and I'll really punch you big time!" I withdrew the hand he had been holding. "What's the matter with you? Aren't you done teasing me!" I said angrily."Chill!" he said jokingly. He raised both his hands facing me with a smile."Do you think I can still stay calm in my situation now?" I raised an eyebrow at him again. "Been to detention because of you, for a stupid reason!" I looked at him from head to toe. "For what? Kissing you?" I pushed him. "Correction Mr. Alonzo, I didn't even think of touching your face!" I keep saying. I didn't want to cause a scene, so I talked to him in a whisper. "First, I don't fucking know you! Second, I don't have plans on lik

I woke up to the sound of my cellphone. "Hello?" I asked groggily."Alex! Where are you? Why didn't you come to class? Do you know we had a quiz earlier? What's your excuse for Mrs. Galvez? You know she's strict!" Miyah bombarded me with questions."I just woke up," I replied, not in the mood."Oh! Really? It's already two in the afternoon, Alex. Are you sick? Sorry—How are you feeling?" she asked, concerned."I'm okay, Miyah, just needed some extra sleep," I replied, still not in the mood."Okay, I'm on my way," she added."Wait, no! We still have the next subject—" I couldn't finish my sentence as she hung up on me.Miyah has always been like that, treating me like her younger sister. Whenever I'm sick, she's there to take care of me. She prioritizes me over her own needs, just like now, skipping class b

A moment of silence ensued, but curiosity got the better of me, so I asked, "Are you a transferee?"He seemed confused. "No, I'm not. You just don't see me because I don't like people looking at me. I'm always covered with my shadow," he said in quick succession. He took three consecutive sips.Ah, I see. Not all dreams come true."I was talking to my ex that time you threw the vase," he admitted, looking hurt.Really? Did I ruin everything?"But you were laughing that day, right?" I asked, puzzled."Yes, I was," he replied shortly. "She was asking for my forgiveness at that time," he said calmly. "She cheated, anyway!" He smirked again. "I find it amusing because, despite all the things she did, she still had the audacity to ask for us to get back together!" I just stared at him. "
I WANT YOU BACK (English) Confession
I was enjoying my meal alone in the kitchen with explosions of thoughts about my dream still lingering in my mind. It felt so real, yet I could vividly see Alex's back by the beach, not quite the same as in my dream.As I sipped on a glass of water, a sudden flashback occurred."I liked you, Alex!"I gasped in surprise."No! No! That was just a dream, dear. Don't be so surprised. According to some beliefs, dreams are the exact opposite of reality!" I tried to calm myself as the scenes kept flashing back."Every time I call you ugly, that means you are the most beautiful woman in my eyes. When I said you're stupid, I was referring to myself that I can't even express how much I like you.""That's nonsense!" I shouted, tapping the table in frustration. My anger was reaching its peak."What nonsense?" Alex's voice surprised me as he was already behind me.

I am sitting on the sofa facing him."So, how are we going to go home?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow."I said, we can't!" He raised his eyebrow at me as well."We are in the middle of nowhere, Alex!" I stood up with my hands on my hips. "Far from the city! We don't even have money!" I waved my hands in the air. "So, how am I going to explain this to anyone? Huh?" I slowly narrowed my face at him. "I'm only 16, Alex! What if Dad finds out that I'm not home?" I sat down heavily, scratching my head.Stupid!"I don't know." That was his only response amidst all my words. He was still leaning against the wall. He seemed relaxed, but I felt so nervous.I can't even stand this guy for a day, how much more for a week!"What about our classes? We'll be absent for a week?" I asked. I was

Oh my God!I kept remembering everything, but only a few scenes would come out.You're mine!A flashback quickly passes in my memory.What?
