Sanya...

I don't want to keep being stuck here with this annoying guy. He even threatened me earlier, thinking he could intimidate me. I am Chrissanya Evangelista, and I've never been afraid of a man, especially not someone like Adam Zhymian.

Maybe others think I'm a really terrible person, wondering why I'm so angry with him. Truth be told, it's not just him I'm angry at, it's all men. I might even be considered a man-hater, right?

I just want to distance myself, especially from the man in front of me. It's because of our situation - I'm married to him, and he, out of all men, is the one closest to me. Not as a friend or anything, don't get me wrong. I don't feel anything for this person; I just really don't want to be around men like him. What I mean is, my whole life, I've kept my distance from men.

I dislike them; I hate their arrogance, their pretentiousness, their womanizing tendencies. I dislike everything about them. I don't have any brothers, and it's only now that I've exper

    Sanya..."WHAT were the two of you doing inside the chef's stockroom again?" the guidance counsellor who was facing both Adam and me shifted her gaze back and forth."I've explained multiple times that someone locked us in there," I replied, annoyed that we were being questioned about the incident when we were the victims. Whoever was responsible for this would surely face my wrath, whoever that annoying person was!"Someone locked you in, or you locked yourselves in?" she countered."What?!" I looked at Adam, who remained quiet. Why wasn't he helping me explain? He's a grown man, but he's acting like he's mute. I wonder if I could pull his tongue out."I'm addressing both of you now, Miss Evangelista, because I don't want this to escalate to the dean of the school. So, right now, tell the truth," she handed her cell phone over and showed us something. "How do you explain these pictures, Miss Evangelista? Mister Zhymian? Come on, why were you in the chef's stockroom, and why do you bo

    Adam...I heard the laughter of the students on campus, and I looked to see what had their attention. There were some naked guys running around, covering their private parts.Suddenly, someone threw mud and garbage at them, and some of them even got stuck to their bodies. We covered our noses and moved away from them to avoid getting hit."What's going on?" Lee asked me."I have no idea.""Adam!" I heard someone call my name. It was Sanya looking at me. The others also turned to me, knowing that our relationship was widely known on campus. I sighed and approached her. "We need to go to my house after this.""Now?" I asked."Did I say it had to be now?" She looked around, and so did I. Everyone's eyes were on us. "Just follow me."I followed her to the rooftop of the school, but I hesitated and stopped where I was. I couldn't help but wonder if this was some plan to beat me up, and I had just blindly followed Sanya. It wasn't my fault that the whole campus knew about our relationship.

    Adam... SANYA closed the car door after getting out, but I didn't confront her. She's showing a different side of herself now, is this her darker side? "Oh, you're here," her Mom greeted us when we entered the door. Sanya didn't even kiss her Mom on the cheek and just walked past her into the house. I've noticed for a while now that she's distant from her parents, especially her Dad. I used to think it was about our marriage, but it's still the same, so what's the problem? "Hi Mom," I greeted her, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Where's Dad?" She smiled at me. "He's upstairs. He just got back from work and I told him to come home early for dinner with you." "Work? Seriously, Mom?" Sanya raised an eyebrow at her. "Sanya," her Mom's voice carried a tone of warning when she called her name, and Sanya just rolled her eyes. Her attitude towards me, it turns out, is normal for her, even with her parents. "Oh, it looks like you're already here," a male voice called from upstairs, San

    Adam... I immediately woke up as my cellphone alarm rang. I needed to get ready for school. It's Wednesday, and as far as I know, Sanya's classes start in the afternoon today. After having breakfast and getting ready for school, I peeked into her room. I saw she was still fast asleep, so I quietly closed the door. I wasn't very focused during the lessons because I was lacking sleep, but when lunchtime came, I couldn't understand why I felt so restless. "Aren't you going to eat yet?" I heard Seid ask, so I just shook my head. "I'm not hungry yet, maybe later. Just for a moment," I replied. I stood up, not answering his question about where I was going. I went to a spot near the school entrance where I knew Sanya usually passed by with her car. I found myself wondering why I was here. Why was I waiting for her? I considered leaving, but my feet seemed to want to return there and check if she would arrive. I was surprised when I ran into Lena. "Oh, Az!" "Oh, hi, it's you," she wasn

    Sanya...I sat back down at the table, and Kyra and Alexa were both looking at me with raised eyebrows. Tora, on the other hand, was just grinning."What?" I asked."Was that PDA?" Alexa inquired."What?!" I raised my voice. "What are you talking about?""When you gave a drink to moron.""That was not!" I rolled my eyes at them. PDA? Just giving a drink is considered PDA? That seems a bit overreacting. "I do know how to say thank you, and that was my way of saying thank you for that one night.""Is that all it was?""Tora," I calmly mentioned her name, as there seemed to be more to her question."Okay," she said, raising both her eyebrows and giving me a creepy kind of smile."Stop that," I said with furrowed eyebrows."Stop what?""You and your creepy smile."She gave me a nonchalant shrug. "Whatever you say, Sanya." I sighed and just shook my head. "Oh, I almost forgot!" All of us at the table turned to look at her. "I need to talk to Miss Valderama about not joining the outing, so

    Adam...I was frozen while our lips were still touching. Neither of us moved, and I wasn't even sure if I was still breathing.I had kissed her before, but this time, it was completely different."Sanya," I heard someone call her from somewhere, and because of that, she seemed to snap out of it. She pushed me away which made me fall to the ground, Sanya stared at my face as if she couldn't believe that she had just kissed me. "Oh, there you are."We both looked at Lena, who kept glancing back and forth between us. "And you're here too, Az, what's going on?"We both fell silent while Lena seemed to wait for our response."Uh..." I thought about what to say. "I came here because I thought there was no one here, but Sanya was here.""Why are you there?" she asked again, so I stood up from where I was kneeling on the pavement."I had a fight with him," Sanya answered, Lena looked at her, she was looking down and couldn't meet my eyes. "I got here first, so as payback, I made him kneel. I

    Sanya...I was dumbfounded when Adam's lips touched mine. I didn't know what to do and how to react. I just stood there, staring. I felt like my brain suddenly stopped functioning. I didn't expect this to happen, maybe because I knew we hated each other. I always thought that kissing me would be the last thing he would want to do—or maybe I just thought so.I was about to close my eyes when my phone started ringing.Thank God! Saved by the bell!He moved away from me, and we briefly locked eyes before I turned around and took my cellphone from my bag, then entered my room. I didn't want to wait for him to say anything. I knew he would pester me with endless questions."Hey Sanya!""Oh, hey Kyra. What is it?""I just called to ask if you're ready. Remember, the outing is in 2 days.""I'm just getting ready. I still need to buy some things to bring.""Okay, cool. Let's go shopping together tomorrow, and then we can stay at Alexa's condo from Saturday night until Monday morning. It's clo

    Sanya...SEVERAL hours passed, and before we knew it, it was already evening. We decided to head to Alexa's condo to spend the night until Monday morning."Oh? What are you doing here? Get out!" Alexa exclaimed when she opened the door for us.Kyra, with a mischievous smile, entered and casually placed the stuff we bought on the couch, acting as if it were her own place."I thought Kyra already told you," I said, entering as well."She didn't say anything," Alexa replied grumpily."Really?" I looked at Kyra, who just smiled. "Is that true?""Don't believe her, Sanya. She's just messing with us," Kyra responded.I heard Alexa laugh behind me. "Just kidding, Sanya. Besides, even if you didn't tell me, it's okay. You're always welcome here."We chatted again while Kyra and I organized our things, including the tent we would use for the outing we were sharing."Are you sure everything's okay?" Alexa asked.

    Adam...SANYA and her wickedness. Is there still a chance for her to change? Even if she's not excessively kind, she could at least have a heart, even if it's just a little.This morning, I was looking for her. I was already at school early, and she and Kyra arrived together, but it's as if I were just air that she walked past.When they got on the bus, I was just waiting for her to at least look for me. I waited for her to glance in my direction, but when she saw me, she just covered her window with the curtain.I handed a mocha latte to her, and when Lee said he accepted it, I got off the bus again and saw that she just threw it to the guy she embarrassed.Honestly, I don't know why I liked her. In the two days I didn't see her, I kept looking for her. When I saw her again, I couldn't explain the happiness. I just feel it, but even though I feel that, I still know that what she's doing is not right.Did she get so annoyed that she vented her anger on the guy in front of her and then

    Sanya...KYRA and I almost missed our breakfast due to our haste. We woke up at 3:30 am, and it was a good thing that Alexa's condo was close to the school."What's wrong with you two? Don't you know what an alarm is?" Alexa scolded us. She woke up to use the bathroom and noticed it was almost 4 am, so she hurriedly woke us up. "If I didn't wake up, you might have missed the bus."Kyra and I just shook our heads. Before leaving and saying our goodbyes to Alexa, we double-checked everything. Once we were sure we hadn't forgotten anything, we left. Kyra used her car and parked it in the school parking lot.She called someone last night to pick up her car and left the keys with Alexa. She would give them to the person since it would be a three-day outing.I saw six buses arrive, three for the guys and three for the girls. Another set was for our teachers and facilitators. Inside the bus, we each had our own seat on both sides. It was fine not having a seatmate since many of us had a lot

    Adam...I shouldn't be worried about her, but that's what's happening now. I can say that the kiss between Sanya and me didn't mean anything to me, but deep down, I know it does. Despite trying not to, I find myself hoping that we can sort out whatever we have.I know it sounds crazy, but I've thought about this. I'm not that numb to not realize that I could fall for her. It wasn't intentional, and I didn't plan to feel these things, especially for a woman whose only purpose seems to be making my life difficult.Maybe the heart is really foolish; it understands things that my mind can't comprehend. I shouldn't like her, but here I am, calling her, not caring if I sound overly concerned for her.When she closed the door after our kiss, I stayed outside. Sleep didn't come immediately; I just stood outside her door, contemplating whether to knock. But fear overcame me, so I went into my own room instead.I thought I'd talk to her the next morning, but as expected, she left to avoid me. W
