The smell of the salty sea air brought back memories of her time in Maldives on one of her trips with her husband, Asier.

They had saved up for a long time, taking overtime work so they could go on vacation. At that time, Dawn had just changed jobs. From working at a restaurant to being a Phlebotomist to being an Author. She was at a point where she realized that she couldn’t keep still. She had plenty of interests and could not focus on one for a long time.

She was lucky enough to have a husband who continued to support her even if there were times when she was too much. There were days when she would feel down all of a sudden, questioning her worth. But Asier would always bring her out of this deep hole that she had dug herself.

He would always help her see the light

    “Sure!” Blake didn’t even try to act shy about it and quickly took a taco, and was about to add salsa. “Which one is spicy?”“Both are spicy. The red one is spicier since we used habaneros on that one. The other got jalapeños.” Aria answered.“Oh.. habaneros then..” He then took a bite and seconds later, he panted. “Oof! That’s so good but so spicy.. Oh the heat is gone now.. Yum!!! You guys are awesome for making this!!! Keenan, you were right! It is really good.”&nb

    After the game, the group dispersed. Some went back to swimming, some played more of the guitar while the others sang along. “Who do you think the girl is?” “He just said she’s not in our year level.” “Could it be a Junior?” “Hmm.. possibly. Who do you think seemed like she would suit him?” “I’m not sure. Given how particular he is about things, he probably would choose someone who could be on the same level as him.” “Like one in the honor roll, you mean?”

    Hugo and the others who have visited her house for the first time swept their gaze around the room.Meanwhile, Estela was now listening to Keenan’s update.He sounded so logical that Estela found no reason for her to get mad further. They’ve already taken care of Dawn the best they could. It was not their fault that the wave carried Dawn away even when she was only a few feet from the shore. It was not their fault that there was a sea urchin.She sighed and nodded. “Are you sure all the spines have been removed?”“Yes, ma’am.” Keenan spoke with respect, earning a good impression w

    Keenan and Blake were queuing to buy their snacks at the cafeteria. Blake looked around, making sure no one was listening. “Bro, let me ask you, do you like that girl?” “Huh? Who?” Keenan’s brows were pulled together. “You know.. The one who got stung the other day.” “...” He looked at Blake as if he was speaking in an alien language. Blake rolled his eyes. “Fine! Be that way! Hmph!” He crossed his arms and turned away from his friend. Keenan swept his gaze around. His brows furrowed. He turned his attention to the cafeteria lady who was now receiving Blake’s payment.

    Oscar was rather good in math as well and knew that Dawn’s method was the right one. But the way she explained it was really easy to understand.“You got it.. The others are the same.. Uh--I have to go. I still have to stop by the library..”“Okay.. Thank you..”Dawn nodded, her eyes formed into crescents.Janus and the previous girl had a love-hate relationship before. The girl had affection for him as was expected of a family member but because they’re close to the same age, there were times that she was just being bossy and he was just pushing her buttons too much. They acted just like how siblings are to each other.

    Seth Acosta stared at his flash drive and thought of how amazing it is that a High School student could code a game already. That topic was supposed to be discussed in the last chapter and even that barely scratched the surface. What Dawn did was more than what the textbook had shown.He remembered that she had a perfect score on the last exam too. Although, in the two years before that, she had mediocre grades.Like the other teachers, they found it unbelievable at first. But now, it is only to their advantage to have a student who could excel like this. It is better to nurture it rather than nip it in the bud. They didn’t give up on her before, why should they give up on her now that she’s already improving.However, this type of mindset only stayed among thems

I’m having her and Valerie read the rest of the draft for me so I could check if I need to change something. It won’t take too long. They’re almost done with it.”“Alright. Just let me know when you’re almost here so I can have Anita pick you up from the bus stop.”“Okay. Ma..”They then ended the call.The rest of their friends got dropped off and the three of them went to Aria’s house.

Keenan’s parents and uncle were also there, as well as Blake. They reserved half of the restaurant to host a party to send her off. This was also a birthday celebration for Dawn as she turned sixteen years old. “Everyone–thank you all for coming. Please enjoy tonight. And I hope that everyone will help me pray for my daughter’s safe travels and well-being abroad.” “Of course!” “Congrats again, Dawn!” “Visit us, okay? Don’t forget your friends here..”

    Dawn missed Keenan very much. She could only distract herself by preparing to apply for scholarships for College. She also wrote more books and consistently scored perfectly in all quizzes and exams. It was her way to not think about the time and distance away from Keenan. She had finally reunited with him but soon had to bid him farewell. She didn’t go with them to the airport to send him off since his parents would be going with him to help him get settled. Both of them knew that it would be hard to say goodbye, so they spent a whole day together and the next day, Keenan left with his parents. He only gave her a call thirty minutes before he boa

    After Alvin danced with Dawn, Hugo walked up to her and invited her to dance.She thanked Alvin and went to dance with Hugo.But like Alvin, their dance was not so romantic either.‘Why is Ma’am Susana the one choosing the songs?’ Hugo thought glumly.There really was no chance to act sweetly with Dawn with the choice of songs for this event.The song ended and Hugo had wanted to dance one more time especially when the romantic song finally came on.“Ahemm.
