Seeing the Future
Gaya ng napag-usapan, I stayed in my room reading a book. I still have a lot of books waiting to be read. Kakatapos ko lang basahin ang isang aklat ng may kumatok sa aking pintuan.
Mukha ni Alexander ang bumungad sa akin pagkabukas ko. I looked at him with a question on my face.
“We're going to the falls. Wanna come?” Tanong niya.
“I thought I would read for the rest of the day.” Sagot ko.
“Well, beautiful, I'm making the most of my stay here with you. If it's not too much, spend this summer with me, Hera.” Alexander in his serious face

The Summer is About to EndI stayed in my room for the rest of the night. It's not my thing to socialize with a lot of people, it makes me feel drained especially with those new faces. I'm fine with the people here in the mansion. But most of the time, I stayed here in my room reading. Back then and until now, I only got out when the girls wanted to play with me or Alexander wanted to hang out. At school, I am just quiet and seldom interact with my classmates. I could feel that they wanted to talk to me and incorporate me into their conversation but most of the time, I just kept on reading with my book to avoid any conversation with them. Hindi ko alam kung kailan nagsimula ang pagiging reserve ko. There's always this barrier that prevents me from getting close to other people. It will take a lot of time for me to get comfortable with them.

The Class Has StartedI was about to leave my room when Grandma knocked.“Good morning, Lola.” Bati ko sa kanya.“Good morning, Hera. Halika, may ibibigay ako” sabi niya sabay hila sa akin papunta sa aking higaan. “Kahapon ko lang kasi nakita to dahil nakalimutan ko kung saan ko nailagay.”“What is it, Lola?” Curious kong tanong sa kanya. She handed me a small notebook.

UnconsciousI stared blankly at him. He stared back and smirked. What? Anong problema ng isang to? I heard a chukled from him. I creased my forehead and eventually, I decided to just ignore him. Hindi mahirap sa aking gawin since hindi naman talaga ako masyadong nakikipag-usap sa aking mga kaklase o sa kahit sa aking katabi. Tahimik lang ako at pokus na nakikinig during discussions so I don't have time to looked at his side or what.I thought he was a snob but surprisingly, most of our classmates had already been friends with him in a short period. I wonder how he did that when he's a transferee and it's the first day of the class.Lunchtime and as usual, I stayed in the room and took my lunch box after most of my classmates went outside to eat. Niyaya ako nina Trixie na kumain sa cafeteria but I pol

I miss youNagising ako na hawak-hawak ng aking lola ang aking kamay. Ang kanyang mukha na nag-aalala ang siyang bumungad sa akin."Kumusta ang pakiramdam mo, apo?" tanong niya sa marahan na boses."Medyo maayos na po.""Uminom ka muna ng gamot mo. Nakaligtaan mo na naman ang pagdadala nito. Alam mo naman na nangyayari talaga to sayo." sabi niya sabay abot sa akin ng tableta at tubig. Agad ko itong ininom at nagpasyang magbihis na rin. After that, umalis na rin si lola dahil may kailangan pa siyang gawin. Bumalik lang ako sa pagtulog pagkatapos kong magbihis upang makapagpahinga ng mabuti.Nagising ako sa ingay ng aking cellphone. Pinakiramdaman ko ang aking sarili at buti nalang naging maayos na ang aking pakiramdam. Tiningnan ko ang wall clock at nakitang alas sais na ng umaga. I took my phone out on my bag and answered Alexander's call."Hello."

School Fair Pagdating ng lunes ay abala ang buong school sa school fair na gaganapin sa loob ng tatlong araw. May mga naka-set up na rin na ibang booths katabi ng sa amin. Tinulungan ako ni Mang Nestor at Kuya Isko sa pagdadala ng mga pinya papunta sa aming booth. Isang malaking basket ang dala namin ngayong araw na naglalaman ng labinlimang kilo ng pinya. I thank Mang Nestor and kuya Isko for helping me after nilang maihatid ang mga pinya sa aming booth. “Hi, Helena!” bati ng aking mga ka-grupo pagdating ko. “Hi!” bati ko sa kanila pabalik. Nagsimula na agad kami sa pag-prepare sa aming mga produkto. Trixie displays her Mangga with bagoong together with the Taro chips. Nena brought two blenders for our cucumber and pineapple juice. It still seven in the morning kaya wala pang masyadong tao. Si Dmitri nalang ang kulang sa amin at ang kanyang sliced banana cake. Pagtungtong ng alas otso y media ay nagsimula na ang pagdagsa ng mga tao. May ilang customers na rin ang bumili ng Mangg

Birthday PresentNagising akong mabigat ang dibdib pero sinubukan ko paring maging positibo sa araw nato kahit ito ang araw na isa sa pinaka-ayaw ko. I looked at the picture frame in which my mom and dad looked so happy while holding both of my hands. I smiled. A sad one. I miss them so much that it pained me to think that I can’t hug them anymore. “Happy birthday, Hera.” bati ng aking lola pagbukas ko ng pinto. She’s holding a small baked cake with a candle for me to blow.“Lola..” sabi ko sa mahinang boses pilit pinipigilan ang pagtulo ng aking luha.“Make a wish and blow a candle now.” nakangiti niyang sabi. “I know you don’t like to be reminded of your birthday but it’s your eighteenth birthday, Hera. You’re of legal age now. At sigurado akong ito rin ang gusto ng mga magulang mo, Hera. Let’s celebrate it even in our simple way.”I wiped the tears that fell from my eyes and took the cake she surely baked. I then make a wish that surely won’t ever happen in this lifetime, not unl

Passionate Kiss Dinig ko ang impit na tili ni Trixie sa aking likod habang naglalakad palapit sa aming kinaroroonan si Alexander. Nakita ko ang van na umalis na sakay ang ibang studyante. Zander probably said Kuya Isko that I'll ride with him. "Alexander!" masaya kong tawag sa kanyang pangalan. I have missed him! Bahagya siyang ngumiti at niyakap ako. Nang mapansin kong pinagtitinginan kami ng ilang studyante ay dahan-dahan akong umalis sa pagkakayakap sa kanya. Bakit biglang dumami ang mga estudyante? Nakakahiya naman! I looked at Alexander and he only raised his eyebrows at me. He then hold my arms and faced Trixie and Dmitri. "Uh, mga kaklase ko pala. Sina Trixie at Dmitri." pakilala ko. Kita ko ang pagpula ng mukha ni Trixie ng inabot ni Alexander ang kanyang kamay upang mag-handshake. "I'm Alexander. Nice to meet you." Sabi niya Kay Trixie. Trixie felt like a starstruck kitten, she only nodded her head in response. "Dmitri, pare." pakilala naman ni Dmitri. I thought he woul
