Petot's POV
After nung umagang 'yon, I let everything settle on its own. They apologize, and I forgive them so it's my turn now to do the same to the person I did something wrong with. So, nung dumating ang hapunan ay nagpunta ako ng dorm. And talked to Sam about what happened."Sam, I'm sorry for what I've done, pinagbuhatan kita ng kamay. Sorry talaga," I sincerely apologized.She smiled, "It's nothing. Besides, I always dream of being slapped. 'Di ba pangarap ko pa nga maging artista?"The reason why you're in the drama club."Kahit na.""It would be an honor for you because it was my first time, yet you're saying sorry?" And gave me an expression that is both guilty and attitude, "`Wag, kotongan kita eh."I just laughed at her because of what she had said.Puro ka talaga kalokohan, Sam!"Give me back all my tears, then!" angal ko sa kanya."Did I ask for it?" she asked, "You're making meJaybi's POV"It's a . . ." she stopped and we both looked at the door because of its sound that someone made, "Trap!" We ran to the door together, but unfortunately, we're late to catch it open. It is now locked. She leaned against the wall beside the door."Who the f•ck are you!?" I shouted while trying to open the lock door."Sa tingin mo, nakakatulong 'yan?" she asked."Mas mabuti na yung may iniisip na solusyon kesa sa wala."She bent down her back and tried to reach the end of her skirt, this uniform. And it seems like she's trying to find something underneath."What are you doing?" I asked.She pulled the syringe under her skirt and straight up again, "Petot, if I were you I'll open this door.""Sorry to say but I'm not Petot, I'm Nathan!" And laughed after.She threw the syringe away, and I can feel that she's really angry. She looked at me."Where's your phone?" And suddenly,

TJ's POVAfter what happened yesterday, I'm in my room the whole day thinking what should I do next. But the best choice that I know is. . . . I need to finish the bet so Jaybi can grant me a wish.So do I need to break my loved ones' heart? Sh•t, sakit isipin!A day passed...We're 4 of out 7, sitting here talking to each other.I saw Petot running."Kuya!" Ayan ang hyper kong kapatid kakarating lang."Petot!" As I tried to imitate her, "Alam mo ba kung nasaan si Sam? I mean, I haven't seen her since the other day." "Eh, pa'no buong araw nasa dorm ka lang. And why are you asking me? Mukha ba akong tanungan ng taong nawawala?" with matching taas kilay at turo pa niya sa sarili niya.Binatukan ko siya, "Malamang magkaibigan kayo.""Kuya naman joke lang, eh. She's in her club, may role-play sila. You know about it.""Eh, kailan daw kaya ulit natin makakasama 'yun?" Zack asked.
TJ's POVNandito na naman ako sa dorm ni Jaybi. From that day, yung nangyari kila Sam at Jaybi, I always see Jaybi crying and drunk here. Gabi-gabing naglalasing para daw makalimot sa pait at sakit. Tsk! Hindi ko siya masisisi sa part na 'yon kasi alam ko masakit. I sat beside him.He looked at me while holding his canned beer, "Why can't she love me?"Heto na naman tayo sa tanong mo!"Did you know? Pang sampung beses mo ng tanong 'yan?" And because of what I said, he burst into tears.Tsk! Kung pwede lang talaga sabihin sa kanya ang lahat eh, kung pwede lang talaga. . . . but I said I wouldn't, so I won't! I can feel that she really loves you too. Sam loves you, Jaybi! Hindi pa lang talaga niya alam o kaya naman hindi pa talaga gano'n siya ka sigurado kasi hindi pa ganon kalalim ang nararamdaman niya pero ramdam ko, mahal ka no'n, Jaybi! He took a sip again.There was
TJ's POV27 days left...We're here outside his apartment now because I invited him to go out, and I'm picking him up. . . . but why the hell is it raining!? Bakit ba lagi na lang na ulan kapag gusto namin lumabas, ah?"Tj, we can still continue our plan, right?" he asked.I just sighed, "I don't know, ayoko na lumabas pa tayo. I don't want you to get sick again.""Why not do it tomorrow? Then dito na lang tayo muna sa apartment ko. And your plans, we can still do it tomorrow, what do you think?""The only choice we have," I said.I smiled and nodded. We went inside and I immediately went to the couch."Okay! Instead of watching a movie in a cinema, we will have a movie marathon!" I shouted here.He laughs, "You look crazy.""Crazy in love with you."I saw how embarrassed he was to nod, which made me laugh. I peeked out the window, it's raining cats and dogs, "Bakit kase wron
TJ's POV"Tj . . ." Isang malamig pero mahinahong boses ang narinig ko mula sa tagiliran ko.Binuksan ko ang mga mata ko, tumingin sa gilid kung saan nanggaling ang boses, at si Zack ang una kong nakita sa umaga."Good morning, Byul," he said while smiling, yung siko niya ay nakapaong sa kama habang naka kamao at nakatapong yung ulo niya sa kamao niya. "Bangon na, baka may klase ka pa."Napakamot ako ng ulo ko sa yamot dahil weekends ngayon, "Klase ka riyan? Linggo ngayon!" "Ay, linggo ba?" And he giggles. He kissed me on my forehead, "Okay, then. Sorry for waking you up. Tulog ka na ulit."Without saying anything, bumalikwas na lang ako at pumikit ulit para i-continue ang naputol kong tulog. The loud sound of rain outside makes me want to sleep more.After 30 minutes..."Byul, wake up. It's already 8:00, time for breakfast."I opened my eyes and there I saw Zack, sitting beside me and the reason why I
TJ's POVWithout a second thought, I picked up my phone and earphones on the center table. Plug each in our ears and start to listen to the music.We just finished a song when I spoke."It's nice, isn't?" tanong ko sa kanya.He looked up, "It's nice but I think yours is way better."I was a bit shocked by what I heard. I don't usually sing, cause I'm not that confident about my voice unlike Petot but I think it's not the right time to say no to him since it's just the two of us, so I put my mouth close to his ear and took a deep breath before I started to sing.Why I feel something different?~Is it because of your smile?~Why I feel so nervous?~Is it because you're here near me?~I really like you~I really want you~I really need you~I really love you~Why I feel so guilty?~Is it because I make you angry?~Why I have this feelings?~Is it because of you?~You rea
Jaybi's POV"Jaybi, I know you're concerned. Don't do it because you're guilty, do it because you care. Don't do it for love, do it from love." And out of nowhere, Petot said, before she continued to walk and left me confused here.All I could do was nod. She went out so I went in, that's the deal.I looked around to find her but I couldn't, not until I found her at the balcony and just sitting there on the chair, looking at the atmosphere.I went there, "Sam."And there she gave a cold glance."I brought some food," I said, then smiled. At itinaas ko yung mga prutas na binili ko kahapon.She's just looking at me without saying anything, I just frowned because she was still not saying anything."Sam, what's on your mind?" I asked this time."You, I'm thinking about you . . ." walang gana at expression niyang sinabi. "I hope you're real and yes, here with me right now. Ang dami kong gustong sabihin sa 'y
If you're having a bad day or having a problem today, just look at the stars in the sky and tell them because they will never judge you.
Next day...In the morning we went hiking. It was about 12 pm when we got home. So when we came, we ate right away. Zack, Al, Sam and I, we're cooks. Nung noon time, halos nagkwentuhan, kantahan, andiraan lang ang ginawa namin para makilala at mawala ang awkwardness sa isa't-isa.Zack volunteered that he will sing. So, while his brother is playing a guitar, he is singing Your Song by Parokya ni Edgar.And after that, the alarm rang.We're in the living room right now."Guys, it's already 5 pm and we have to start now," paniniwala ni Nilette."My turn to explain this," Cha said, "Arian, Syete, Dm, Yna, Jaybi, Al, Sam, Petot at ako. Kami ang nagpasimula nito." "1st Couple, Yani and Meme, dala lang sila. When we say dala, it means that they are brought here by those people Cha mentioned. Sila yung unang nabuo noong MR, maya na ang explanation ng MR. Sad to say they are not here," paliwanag ni Dm"2nd Cou

Sam approached me and asked me after she reached me.I took a deep breath, "I don't know." What she's talking about is they are here, my Kuya and Zack"So, we must introduce ourselves first and after that you can go to have a rest, dahil marami pa tayong gagawin tonight, okay?" Syete an
TJ's POV"So what is it that you want?" Jaybi asked.We're here sitting and looking at those beautiful stars. We're here where they asked me about that bet."Be the witness of it, Nathan," I said while looking at Nathan and then now at Jaybi, "Make her fall in love again, but don't break her heart anymore."I gave him the letter, and they opened it."Loving someone back is not easy, especially when you continue to love the person who can't love you back, but loving you is just like a math equation: 1+1=2, that everyone can do," Jaybi read the letter."Babalik ako kapag natutunan mo nang mahalin ang sarili mo, bago ako. From, Sam," Nathan continued."You found my guy, so I found your girl." I stood up, "Wait for her." I started to walk, as I walked as I looked up and tried to look at the stars.

Zack's POV"Totoo ba? Totoo ba na ang puso ni Ate Eyey ay galing sa Papa ko?"Napahagulgul ako sa harapan niya. Nakapag-usap na nga si Mom at ang Mama ni Tj, nakarating na kay Tj eh. He burst into tears, "I'll ask you again, totoo ba!?" I closed my eyes, "Um, at matagal ko ng alam.""You knew it, yet hindi mo sinabi!?" he shouted, losing his temper.I opened my eyes, "Sorry." Hinawakan niya ang buhok niya at sinabunutan ito, "F•ck, why!? Give me a reason to understand you!" I'm looking at him right now, it hurts!"Because she's your first love . . ."Flashback..."Remember this, endless love is what you deserve," Mom explained and then hugged me, "I'm not done yet, Eyey told me this and I need to explain everything to you."After hugging me, she started to explain once again.10 years ago...Third Person's POVAlly is here hiding from her son, sh
Zack's POVHe is kneeling in front of me now and asking, "Why, why did you have to do that!? I was about to tell you everything but then I figured out between the two of us, you're the one who's lying?"My heart hurts because of what he said. I want to hug him but I can't, I know he wouldn't let me."Answer me, why!? I'm asking you!" he continued."Because I've been in love with you since then," I answered him calmly.He was startled, "Si-since w-when?""10 years ago. When we were in 6th grade, when I met you. That moment when I have nothing; my grandpa died and my fraternal twin went abroad. From extrovert to introvert, naging tahimik ako, wala akong gustong pansinin at wala rin akong gustong kausapin, because I don't want them to be attached in my life. . . . and after a month, you transferred in. When you're introducing yourself and I see your smile, it enlightens up my heart, my world." He's just looking at me, and

I thought you're in our house, why are you here? Walang kasama si Mama ron." "Kuya, look at me and tell me everything." "Tell you, what?""Tell me about the f•cking bet!"He was shocked, but then managed to make himself calm, "What bet?"Ah, okay! Hindi ko siya mapaamin sa ganitong paraan, pwes ako ang magsasabi!"Kuya, I know I have no right to say this to you because I don't know how that started. . . . pero gusto ko lang naman linawin, ang sakit masaktan!" Flashback....7 p.m. "Pwede bang mamaya ka na lang pumunta sa inyo? I need to tell you something." I was about to go home when Sam
TJ's POVNung gabi na yun, nalaman ko na narape ang kaibigan ni Mama at sapat na muna yun kasi alam ko ang hirap ng Mama, kaya hindi na muna namin ni Petot tinanong ang tungkol sa heart-transplant surgery.At though, may mga klase ako tinet-take, ginawang ko ng paraan para makausap yung kaibigan ni Mama, na Tita ni Sam, at Mom nila Al at Zack— si Tita Ally. Na ilang beses ko ng nakikita at nakakausap pero hindi ko inexpect na siya pala ang matagal na naming hinahanap.Now, I'm inside the small coffee shop here and patiently waiting for her to come. All of a sudden, the door opened, which made me look at it and see her. The person I've been waiting for the whole time has arrived.She immediately smiled at me when she saw me, and walked to sit down in the front seat afterwards.I smiled at her, "Uhm, do you want to order po?" "Uh, no, I don't drink coffee." She kept smiling. "By the way, bakit naman ginulat mo 'ko? You a

So, every morning I always packed him a sandwich."But, son, this time I cooked your favorite adobo." And I stood up, grabbed the sandwich and walked to him. I gave him the sandwich, "Masama lagi na puro fast food chai
