Ready or Not Chapter 49: Ferris Wheel
Ferris Wheel• • • • •I looked around and saw a lot of rides, food stalls, and game stalls. There are also a lot of people.I shifted on my seat and wrinkled my forehead. It was like I've squished something that's overloaded with so many weird things.How bothersome even though I've changed not too long ago.Neal arrived with a lot of food with him like tempura and kwek kwek on a plate, lemonade juice, and other foods that have been put on a container.Slowly, I stood up and excused myself, bringing the bag with me, and went to do my thing.We happily ate and stayed there for a minute to talk about the fun things we'll do first."What do you want to ride, first?""You." I shrugged at him. Well isn't it a wise choice to let him since it is still my first time here?"Wait, what?" He

The Government Notice• • • •??? ?? ????? ???? ????????? ??? ?????????? ??????"And post!"??? ???'? ??? ??? ???????'?...?????'? ?? ???...????? ???? ?? ???????????...???? ?????? ??...Ugh. The results are all the same!I tried posting the same question every day using several fake accounts on different websites but it's no use.I'm doomed.I just turned 18 last week and I'm really thankful that until now, I haven't received the government notice yet.But I know for sure that I can't celebrate yet because anytime, the government officials will come and they'll hand me the papers where information about me and my partner will be written.

The Government Notice 2• • • •"Gosh, gurl. I have been asking here nonstop about how you have been doing, dreaming about all that weird stuff and you are just going to smile at me? Are you thinking about someone? Your crush, perhaps?" Josh asked while raising his eyebrows at me. I smiled at him and teasingly said,"What a great question that was, gurl! I was just thinking about you." He rolled his eyes unbelievably at me, probably thinking that it was just a joke but we all know that it isn't. Telling him that it's true would just make him think of me as weird and laugh so, I'll let him be. I just laughed at him in response at his silly behavior and started telling him about my nightmare. He chortled, his breathy laugh echoing in the air.Minutes have passed until he decided to stop laughing and wiped off the tears in his eyes. "You watch too much Coraline, gurl."

Visitor• • • •"What are talking about? Of course not.""Ehhh, then tell me!""Mrs. principal herself told me that it's a secret. Gets?" He whispered the 'ahh' 'I-get-it-now' sound while nodding his head."Ughhh.""Oh? What's wrong?""It's so unfair. I have already received mine but you haven't yet. How's that possible?""Duhh. They just couldn't find the right one for me." He flips his imaginary hair. Josh already turned 21 months ago but he still hasn't received any. He stopped going to school when he was in kinder so he's older than me. He doesn't want to tell me what really happened. He's a secretive person. All he said was that he has family problems at that time and that's it.But you know what? I'm really curious about Josh. He's gay. Will he ever receiv

Opposites• • • •"It's this simple law, which every writer knows, of taking two opposites and putting them in a room together."~ Trey Parker• • • •"Mmm! This is sooo good, grandma." Ate July said while stuffing her mouth with the chocolate chip cookies that nana baked for her just a while ago."I have baked a lot for you, iha so, slow down or you'll choke." Nana laughed at Ate July's silly behavior.

Opposites 2• • • • •There are also some people who were heedless enough to disobey the law so they were punished. No one really knows what the consequences are. Punished people would not say it to anyone. All I know is that you will suffer severe penalties if you don't follow.I didn't notice that I was already mumbling to myself when Nana tapped my hand. With a raised brow, I turned to look at Nana who was sitting not so far away from me. "Huh? What is it, Nana?""Kira? Are you alright?" Nana asked me worriedly. Ate July was also staring at me and at the government notice that I was holding tightly in my hands. I know that she knows about the notice right from the start so she already knew what my problem is. Instead of answering my Nana, I stayed silent in my seat and sighed.Ate July sat beside me and patted my back as she cheered me on, "Dearie, it's a big challenge for the both of you!

Who are you?• • • •"He'll go somewhere, dearie. He'll just drop us at our destination. And also, we'll do some girl stuff, remember?" She said between her giggles."I could become a girl and join you two. It'll be fun." He teased."Heck, no. You'll ruin the fun.""What a killjoy." I laughed at the both of them. They argue like dogs and cats and it's cute to look at.Kuya Truce went silent as Ate July widens her eyes at him. It didn't stop him from teasing though and shrugged. "I suppose that it'll be more fun picking out the best place to have a honeymoon.""Oh, shut up." Kuya and I laughed. Ate July is once again in a bad mood as she averted her gaze away from Kuya but it's evident that deep-inside, she's feeling the 'kilig' feeling.You know, the weird feeling where your whole body just bursts to flames and your stomach twisting to

Ready or Not Chapter 47: Just Dance
Just Dance• • • • •I silently observed both of them. The tarsier's boyfie was very nervous and shaking while Neal was very calm and cool for me but I bet that others would see him as cold and evil for having an intimidating aura around him.Even his opponent seems frightened.I covered my ears. People started to cheer loudly for Neal when his opponent has started to miss a lot and lost the match while he continued, reaching for a very high score of 550.Wow. I bet this is his first time playing basketball again since graduating high school or college and yet, he is still this amazing. He barely missed a shot as he fires them at the net with a breakneck pace.I grinned widely and approached Neal, giving him a thumbs up. He smiled at me and kneeled down, picking up the tickets that were endlessly pouring out of the machine.I peeked at

The Basketball Match• • • • •"Match?" I looked at the woman in surprise. Why is she challenging me suddenly for that? And, what match?"Basketball. I want your boyfriend and my boyfriend to have a competition right here and right now. Let's see who of our boyfriend will win." She proudly said while puffing up her chest.With that being said, she grabbed her boyfriend by the arm and kissed him in front of everyone, telling him things that are...well, things that are inappropriate. It's probably her way to cheer for him."You will do your best, right babe? Show them that you are the best of the best. That no one in this world can defeat you! Didn't you tell me before that you were better than your classmate? Who was it again? Was it Neil?" The man gulped several times while peeking nervously on my back.'Oh?' I raised my eyebrow at his actions suspiciously. Was the

And besides, I don't really have to worry because I chose automatic! All I have to do is sit and steer!"Get ready to lose, oldie!" I laughed at him naughtily.He sneered. "Right back at you."I gripped on the steering wheel tightly while the race begins its countdown. When the screen displayed the 'go' sign, I quickly steered the wheel but nothing happened.Huh? What's wrong?Neal has started his while mine didn't. Oh no! What should I do!? I frowned and poked Neal's side. He stopped and looked at me confusingly, "Is t
Ready or Not Chapter 44: Let's Play!
Let's Play!• • • • •Crap."What's wrong?" Asked Neal when he noticed how restless I was, looking back at the taxi that Bia was in when it turned our way, following us.Oh shit. Did she notice me?"Kira?""A-ah, yes. I'm good.""You don't look like it.""Uhm...m-my tummy is grumbling already. I guess I'm hungry? Uh, can we go a little bit faster?" I bit my lower lip and tried to act as normal as possible. I am really bad at lying so it would be a problem if I keep opening my mouth.Let's take a deep breath and avoid questions for now.I was about to peek at Neal for being silent but sighed in relief when he went faster without asking questions. I gulped and relaxed when the taxi was falling behind.Ugh, that damned Bia! Today is a very special day and she's going to ruin it. Sigh, I just hope that she would give up and stop following us anymore.
Ready or Not Chapter 43: Date 2
Date 2• • • • •"Hey, sleepyhead. Wake up."I grunted irritably and slapped the hand away that was poking my cheek.Ugh. My face turned sour as I felt the heat of the sun touch my skin. Why is he waking me up? How annoying. He is putting me in a bad mood first thing in the morning and I don't like it. What I really hate the most is when someone would wake me up from my sleep.I want to wake up whenever I want to and not when anyone wants me to.He poked my cheek again so I decided to hold and clutch it, preventing it from prodding my cheek again. He laughed at my naughty behavior that caused me to frown at him.I thought that he was in a bad mood since yesterday? Well, because after making fun of him, he left me in the living room and went up the room. I saw him again in the afternoon, carrying some sheets with him. He ignored me so I i
Ready or Not Chapter 42: Date
Date• • • • •He's making me more helpless and I really should do something right away. If he thinks that he gets what he wants that easily, then he is wrong. He may be dominating me right now but it won't last for long. I'll be turning the tables and show him how it's professionally done.Something that would leave him wanting for more.Wow, Kira. Coming from someone as innocent and as inexperienced as you. Duh, I'll trust myself on this.I smiled at him seductively as I moved closer to him, kneeling on one knee and with a sweet tone, I whispered in his ear,"You're not doing it right, darling. How weak."I moved away from him to see how he would react and laughed at the view. He looked at me with wide eyes, couldn't believe with what I just said and did but reverted to his calm demeanor and sm

Childish• • • • •He sat down beside me and held my chin to face him. "I knew I was right. You should have just told me the truth, Kira. You don't want me to be in a bad mood, right, darling?" He grinned at me.This man."So that means that it's okay with you whether I am in a bad mood, too? Tsk, you don't know how mad I am today. Especially at you." I said with gritted teeth as I move away from him, crossing my arms over my chest. He'll probably think that I'm joking. Hah! We'll see.Well, what I said was still a bit true since he didn't arrive sooner when Bia was still here. I wouldn't be this mad and anxious if he didn't leave."Why's my darling mad at me?" He moved closer and wrapped his arms around my waist. I tried to move away again but he's not letting me so I let him be and pouted."Hmmph. How would I know? Why don't you talk to yourself? Maybe by doing i
