Pine Trees and City Lights CHAPTER SIXTEEN (제 16 장)
The man was changing his mags when I turned around to see that he was aiming at the twins. The only thing I could think of that time was to take him down and save my best friends. Priorities, Emerald. I breathed in deeply and looked at the twins."GET DOWN!!"I ran and slid down as I took my shot before he could. But what worried me was that I heard three shots. I immediately looked at the twins and they were both fine, and on the other side was my target who's now lying cold on the floor. Standing up, I felt the blood rush in my veins, but I set that aside and approached my best friends. "Are you two okay?"They were stunned, unable to talk. I gave them a small smile and handed them over to the medical team with us."Take extra care of them, please. Thanks.""Will do, Emerald. Sapphire is downstairs, clearing up too. Get yourself checked.""Thanks, Mark. I'll do that after I check in on everyone."I was about to walk down when I felt something warm. I looked at my hands when I saw..

I stood up from my chair and submitted my exam paper to my professor who was sitting in front. Finally the last day of exams and of this school year. I went back to get my bag and left the classroom, took out my phone and sent a message to my brother. He called after a few minutes.Incoming Call: Kuya Kaiden"Kuya.""Kendra, bili ka ng gamit mo. I sent you a list, nakita mo na ba?""Yeah, I just saw it. Ang dami ah. Saan lakad natin, kuya?"He chuckled and said it was a secret. He told me he has my documents with him and that he'll pick me up in three hours. "Basta bilhin mo yang mga yan and grab something to eat. Kung kasama mo yung kambal, treat them to something din. I'll see you in three hours, lil' sis."--call ended--As soon as he ended the call, I saw the twins leaving the room with their smiles as wide as the Cheshire cat. I smiled softly and approached them, and to my surprise, they hugged me."MA!""Kain tayo?""Sure! Anong gusto niyo ngayon? Japanese? Korean? Filipino? Am

A cool gentle breeze envelopes my skin as I step out of my room’s balcony. I breathe in the scent of pine trees and sunflowers, that’s when I know I’m home. I hear a faint knock from my door. I hear a small chuckle. “I wonder what’s keeping you awake.” The voice said. My brows furrowed. I couldn’t see anyone. “Who’s there? Kuya? Hey don’t play games on me. ” Another chuckle. “Well aren’t you a curious cat. Isn’t that right, princess?” Confused, I went back inside and opened the door only to find a tall man outside. He quickly puts his hands over my eyes. “You must not see me. Not yet.” “Why not? You’re standing outside my room! Are you a-” “Shh. When the time co

As soon as we finished lunch, we went back straight to the classroom. Announcements spread quickly around the campus, rumor has it that there would be a pageant for sophomores. It HAS been quite some time since I entered a pageant. Pfft. I’m 152 centimeters. I’m no match for that kind of thing now. “Okay, class. So malapit na ang Foundation Day at baka nabalitaan niyo na. Magkakaroon ng Mr. And Miss Sophomore and gusto ko sanang may sumali sa klase natin.” Hearing about that, the entire class was silent. No one would even dare >:D Then, I sensed something. The theater girls were eyeing me. Oh no. Not good. “Ma’am, si Kendra po!” And there it goes. Arrgghh! Lagot ka sa akin, Tiff. Mamaya ka sa akin! >:( “Kendra, okay lang sa’yo? Ikaw na lang rep natin for Miss

Post-Viral Myocarditis? What in the world IS that?! ”Okay, Kendra. The walls of your heart are inflamed, possibly due to the severity and frequency of the past cases of tonsilitis. Wag kang mag-alala, pwedeng magamot yan with medications but you also have to help yourself. Iwas ka na muna sa caffeine and sa fatty foods. Pwede ka namang kumain ng sweets at carbohydrates but in moderation. Sa exercise naman, pwede basta wag naman yung masyadong nakakapagod. Alam mo naman ang limit ng katawan mo. Yung sa emotions mo naman, keep it at bay. Alam kong ayaw mong mag-cause ng panic.” All I could do was nod. My brain couldn’t process the thought that I’m actually sick. How did that even happen? I went home with a bunch of medicines and a confused mind. “Oh wag mong kakalimutan yung mga gamot mo ha?” “Opo.” I felt so down, and I sti

*Calling…. +63915----*“Hello?”“Hello, Kendra?”My brows furrowed.Oh my gosh."Travis?""Uy Kendra! Wooh. Tama yung number mo hahahaha!""Aba loko. Bakit ka napatawag, poknat?"I missed this man. Travis Zamora. My other childhood friend from my mom's hometown. We haven't talked in a long time! He’s the absolute boy best friend ever.“Ayun! Ano kasi, pinapatanong ni mommy kung uuwi kayo sa Undas?”“Oo naman! Hahaha anong klaseng tanong yan. Ang sabihin mo, miss mo na ako!”I laughed. I sure love it when I tease him.“Ano? Gig tayo pag uwi namin!”“Matic na yun boss! Hahaha. Uwian mo ako ng walis, ube at lengua ah!”“Ay wow. Pamb

The following days went by so fast after the pageant. The entire school was busy with catching up requirements and final projects, since final examinations are coming. “Mama Kends, natapos mo na yung compilation mo sa Physics?” “Almost. Meron pa yung activity kahapon tsaka yung assignment last week. Hindi pa binabalik ni sir eh.” “Hala, may kulang akong tatlong activities!” “Eh diba excused ka naman nun kasi yun yung galing ka sa province? Insert mo na lang yung photocopy nung signed na excuse letter mo jan.” “Ma, may copy ka pa nung experiment natin nung Monday?” “Hmm.. yeah meron. Here. Yan na yung extra na copy.” It was my favorite time of the academic year. Compilations are the best for me since I see what I have achieved so far in the subjects at school. Most of the time, I help my friends with their compilatio

--TRAVIS' P.O.V.-- “TRAVIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!” I looked up and there she is. The girl I love.I beamed at her and stepped forward. “KENDRAAAA ang liit mo pa rin! HAHAHAHA” “Ang sama mo talaga no?” She punched my arm teasingly, I chuckle at her, missing her touch. “Ito talaga hindi mabiro! Lika nga dito!” I hugged her. Suddenly the world around me just disappeared. She’s warm, as always. She still smells good even if she doesn’t use perfume. I missed her so much. "Hoy kung maka-singhot ka naman jan, parang droga ah! Hahahahaha!" We both laugh at her statement. She went to my mom and they talked for a bit. I can't wait to spend the whole day with her! "Tara na! Ma, alis na po kami! Bye!" "Bye tita! Mamaya na lang po ulit!" She hit my head lightly and chuckled. "Ikaw talaga, hindi

Last night was magical and bittersweet. I had to let him go and chase his dreams. That's the right thing to do. Amethyst nudged my elbow. "So can I get a peek on your dress now? Grabe ha, nasa black bag pa."I chuckled and rolled my eyes. I never told anyone what my outfit looked like, not even a hint."You'll see it when I wear it kapag natapos na tayo dito.""Nako, Kendra ha. Pa-suspense ka pa. Pero ang ganda nung binili ni ate mo para sa'yo."Our family friend, Ate Trina, was doing our hair and make-up for the prom. She was my older sister's best friend from college, and she's really good with the arts."Alam mo naman yun, ate Trina. Iniispoil na naman ako."I giggled. Amethyst was checking her phone when we both received a notification on our beepers. I closed my eyes and silently sighed."Ayan, oh sige Kendra, magpalit ka na.""Thank you, ate!"I went to the changing room, took out my phone and took some selfies. I slipped the dress on and smiled as I saw myself in the mirror.

We finished the job in three and a half hours. Everything's cleared. As if nothing happened. There weren't much people in this part of the neighborhood so it was easier to clean up. I felt accomplished, but I still felt anxious. I wanted to rush back home, but as soon as a shadow emerged from the back of my car, I stopped."Emerald.""What brings you here, Nicholas?"He gave me a dark chuckle, his eyes glowing with fire."You're still standing huh.""Of course I am. I wasn't born and trained to be weak. Unlike you.""What did you say?!""Is this the brilliant plan of your no-good cousin, Nicholas? To target my family? You're both so... stupid huh.""STUPID? IT'S BRILLIANT! Once I'm done with you, cousin will be proud of me and will take over the agency and-""Did you honestly think he's going to give you credit for this, Nicholas? Tch."I took a step forward and smirked."He's going to tear you to pieces after this, probably even crush you to ashes. He doesn't work with others. Sure,

"Kendra?" "Po? Wait lang kuya, susunod na ako. May tinatapos lang ako na paper for Chemistry." "Ahh. Kaya pala kahit sa chat, hindi ka sumasagot. " "Ay sorry kuya hehe, I put it on silent mode para matapos ko kaagad." "Naks. Ang sipag talaga ng kapatid ko na 'to. Oh sige, tapusin mo na yan." As my brother left the room, I closed my book and I resumed my work. I was actually in the middle of a manhunt operation at work. I've already finished my homework and I've been searching far and wide for my newest mission. My burner phone buzzed. "Anything?" "Last time they were seen was 14 hours ago. I've sent the location to you. I'll hand it over. I'm being called." "10-4. Thanks, Agent E." I opened the case file again and sighed. "Where the hell are you? Why do you keep on running away huh?" I left my laptop open, stood up and went downstairs. I had a feeling that something will happen in a few days... "Oh Kendra, nag-text sa akin ang ninong mo. May nakuha na daw siyang dress p

"Kendra, will you be my date for the prom?" I was shocked. I never expected anyone toactuallyask me to prom. I've attended prom twice during grade school, but this is different. Lysander was standing in front of me, mwaiting for me to give an answer, with my friends surrounding us. "Lysander.. I'd love to go to prom with you." Here lies the memory of my embarassed self. The day went on with my friends teasing me about the "hot gymnast guy" asking me out to prom. Alice, a friend and co-theatre actor, pulled me outside of the AVR and we started walking to the auditorium for rehearsals. "Ma, may sasabihin ako sa' yo." "Hmm? Anong meron?" "Did you know Lysander asked me if he could court me three days ago?" I was stunned. WAIT WHAT?! "He.. what?" "Mhm. Pero I knew

A/N: TW ahead! Violence and curse words. Read at your own risk!"Emerald, target's location is already in your tracker. All equipment is now locked and loaded.""Copy.""Em, be safe."I heard Serenity's voice. Now, Ireallyhave to make sure this mission's success. She's watching me."Remember, this is for your brother.""I know, S. Take care of me."Kuya Angelo and his girlfriend, Ate Jenn, have been together for 3 years now. She's already like family. Come to think of it, it has been a while since she last visited here. He told me everything that happened."So..wait. You're saying she's a part of Beta? And she wanted to get out because they found out about your relationship?""Yeah. Apparently, kaya ako yung napili niyang boyfriend 3 years ag

–Lysander's P.O.V.–"Hoy Sander. Ano na? Lapit nang mag-prom, wala ka pang date?""Gago, date ka jan. You mean bagong target? HAHAHAHA!"I laughed at Conan and Karlo, my best friends. They know me too well. It's been a while since I've been in a relationship. The last I had was with that senior from the Arts Program. I kinda miss annoying and being sweet to someone. Tsk."Bakit hindi mo subukang ligawan yung taga-Arts na nakita mo noon?""Oo nga. Pinahiram mo pa ng panyo. Ang sweet ah. Parang 'di ikaw, bro.""Tss. Hindi kasi kayo marunong mag-alaga ng babae, kaya kayo iniiwan eh."They got taken aback with what I said, and laughed as hard as they could."Pare, ang sabihin mo, feel mo na mataas yung standards nung babaeng yun.""Yeah, you might be right, Co.

“Eh?? It’s you! Handkerchief guy.” He chuckled. He was standing in front of the powder room door, smiling at me. “I take it you’re feeling better?” “Not quite, but thanks again. Since nasa iisang school lang tayo, I’ll return your handkerchief tomorrow.” He smiled. A bigger one this time. Naknampucha ang ganda ng ngiti niya! >//< “Sabi ko sa’yo, wag na. It’s alright. Well, see you around!” “Huy teka-” I’m THAT slow..?! Wow. He just walked away like that. Tsk. I should at least get his name or something. I don’t want to walk around the entire campus of Silvercreek just to find him. Amethyst found me just in time too. “Ginagawa mo diyan, Kends?” “Huh? Ah wala. May nag text lang kasi, nireplyan ko lang saglit.
