View MoreRueben drove me to school today. The three of us had breakfast in the hospital before he drove us to our schools. We dropped off Sara first at her school before coming here.It's still early. We just wanted to visit our parents together at the hospital because this is the only time Rueben is free. After this, he'll go back to the company to finish his work."How's school?" He asked."Fine," I answered while finishing my drink. "Zaron's here, too."He looked at me for a while. I'm sure he has the same questions I have. But isn't life making it easy for me? I mean, I don't have to worry about not meeting him again or joining the band because whatever happens, I can always find and meet him in school.
I stared at my notebook blankly. I ripped it off as soon as I finished composing the first verse.Something doesn't feel right. I can compose songs before. They were all fine whenever I try to put it up with some tune and sing it but now, it's been weeks since Zaron challenged me to write an original composition and I haven't gone back to him yet.Where is he, by the way?Their band's name trended on Twitter when they disbanded. Kit left the country already and the other members Nico and Eli were to focus on their studies. What's his plan? The article never mentioned his name."Are you done with the activity, Jael? I need to pass it now to the faculty," one of my classmates went to me, asking for my paper.
Zaron's eyes never left mine until our food has been served. He keeps on making me feel that I'm not welcome here and why did I even bother."So... Jael," Kit Navarro, who is playing the bass guitar turned to me. He's sitting beside me and among all the members of his band, he's the one who's the most interested in me.He keeps on talking to me and asking questions."I wonder what's your relationship with Zaron? Obviously, you're not friends because you both hate each other," and he followed it with a laugh."We're not.""Not a chance."Zaron and I answered at the same time and then our eyes met again.
I went to the university as early as I can to proceed with everything I need to do for the enrollment of incoming Grade 12 students.Abigail is already enrolled and she chose a different specialization so it doesn't matter at all.The procedure was easy. I was guided by kind and considerate staff. I'm familiar with how it works because I finished my 11th year here.I submitted my requirements, took my photo for ID, fit some uniforms, and had a short conversation with my classmates. I am not really close with them. Abigail and I are classmates last year so we did everything together. I considered them acquaintances, not friends. Most of them are just after my family's popularity. Abigail and all of my other cousins are so used to it.

He called me several times earlier because he wants to know my whereabouts but I couldn't speak properly to him on the phone because of what I just saw.I was so close to her. I could've gone to her and ask her if she's my father's mistress. But when she clung onto Zaron's arms, it's like I was trapped between prioritizing my anger or understanding what is going on."I saw Lucille de Silva..." I said without looking at him.
The three of us are sitting at the living space Mr. Ramos had in his office. Zaron and I are facing each other while Mr. Ramos is in the middle.Back when I visited their website I'm not sure which is his name from the list of members of his band, Blank Pages. Their names are not organized below their faces so I did not care to search his identity because I knew this day would happen, that we will meet again.And unfortunately, I am right."Zaron..." the old man breathed. "We just had a conversation earlier about your naughty tricks and impulsive actions, did we not?"That's why he was asked to pick me up from the lobby? Maybe he was currently talking to Zaron that time when the lady from the counter called him.
I thought my sister was just joking back at the hospital but look at where I am facing now. The huge letters of August Entertainment that are very visible at the top of their building welcomed my eyes as my sister rolled down the window of her car.Billboards near here featuring their artists are countless. I'm not sure what exact event they have today but fans are waiting outside the building, organized in lines. I can't see who's artist/s is/are on their banner because they're facing towards the other direction."Why did you drop me off here?!"She just smiled and open the door of her car."Get out. I need to study with my friends," she insensitively said."Just drop me off thereaf
My cousins and I decided to visit my parents at the hospital today. We gave Auntie Irene a heads up so she will know what time we'll go. I found Sara shaving Daddy's facial hair. Rueben hired a private nurse and other assistants but Sara insisted on doing stuff like these especially when she has free time or she has no exams."Any progress?" I asked as I give my father a kiss on his forehead."None," she sighed.I glanced at my mother who's just beside my father. She's still unconscious, too. Until now.I sat beside her and leaned my head on her chest. I hugged her. I miss them so much. It's hard when they're not around. I hope they could open their eyes as soon as they can. I know they won't leave us. They can't leave us.
My face is full of questions when my brother asked me if it's okay if someone will join us for lunch. At first, I thought he's asking permission from me because I cannot come with him but it isn't."Good afternoon, Mr. Ramos. This is my sister, Jael Valmonte."A man that seems older than my father lend his hand in front of me and I immediately shook it with mine."Jael, this is Mr. Ramos, CEO of August Entertainment."My eyes widened at the thought that this person might be the one he's referring to back at his inauguration. The one in the entertainment industry!"G-good afternoon, S-sir," I stuttered.We sat at a long rectangular t
I tried to open my eyes, but they won’t cooperate. I slept late last night because I was too excited for today. The loud ringtone of my phone filled my ears, and it made me get out of bed. Still, with my eyes closed, I reached it even though I don’t know where exactly it is. The call suddenly ended. I thought of going back to bed, but it rang again. “What do you want?” I said to whoever is trying to ruin my day. I heard a chuckle from the other line. “Still in your pajamas? Maybe you want to consider getting ready?” I glanced at the wall clock of my room and saw that’s it just seven in the morning. “I might want to go back to bed, Rueben,” I answered. “You can but-” “Hello?” I gave up as soon as I heard Sara’s voice. “Jael, do you know what time it is? Get up now and get ready! We have a lot of things to buy at the mall. We should be home before dinner,” she stopped for a while as if she said something w...
