"Alright, Sally. I hope you get well as soon as possible. It's so boring at school when you're not around." Michaela stated."I hope I can recover soon. I also miss going to school." Sally responded.After a few minutes, their conversation is over.Michaela wanted to rest but she couldn't do so because she still needs to study. She can't afford to waste any more time. There is no time for her to relax. If she wants to be on the top rank, she needs to make some sacrifices for a better future. She is sure that she will thank herself in the future. She aims to be successful in everything that she do.She gently slaps her cheeks to make herself awake, then afterwards, she opened her book and notebook. After a few minutes, she's already concentrating on her studies...=========================A few weeks later.Michaela forced herself to go to school even if she's feeling under the weather today. She can't afford to skip classes because she wants to get the "Perfect Attendance Award." Asi
"Really? Kent did that to you? Oh, wow! Kent Cervantes is a real gentleman!" Sally said in amazement, after she heard what happened to Kent and Michaela."Yes, I think so, too. I'm actually thinking on how can I thank him." Michaela seriously stated."Do you think maybe he likes you?" Sally suddenly asked a weird question."Hah! Of course not! And if he does, there's no way I would like him!" Michaela said, in a defensive tone.Sally lets out a helpless sigh before she spoke again."It's been a year-and-a-half ever since you got your heart broken with Daniel. Haven't you moved on from him yet? Do you still love him?" she bombarded Michaela with questions. Michaela sighs on return as well, as she remembers the past. Daniel was her first love back in highschool. When she confessed her feelings to him, she politely turned her down, and the next thing she knew, he already enters the seminary and he is studying to become a priest... "Let's just forget about the past, okay? Anyway, I don'
IT WAS finally the reunion party of Waldorf High.Michaela is currently driving the car, while Sally is at the passenger's seat. Michaela's parents let her drive the car as she already has a student's driver's license, and their house is not that far from her former school."Are you excited to see everyone again, Michaela?" Sally suddenly asked her."I'm excited and a bit nervous, Sally? I mean, I'm excited to see and talk to our high school friends again, but I'm also nervous because I know the expectations of each one of us are high. You know, everyone's expecting you to be successful..." Michaela tries to express her feelings."Don't worry, everything's going to be okay." Sally reassures her, as she's trying to calm her best friend."Thanks, bestie." Michaela smiles back at her.===============================One hour have passed.Michaela has been craning her neck as she roams her eyes around the party venue. She's been looking for Daniel, but he's still nowhere to be found."Hey
The Waldorf High Reunion party is finally over. Daniel and Michaela are currently at a 24-hour coffee shop. It's a good thing that there's still a coffee shop opened even at wee hours of the morning. Daniel and Michaela are enjoying their own cups of coffee, as they go down the memory lane. They talked about some bad things and good things that happened to tnem, and they can't help but to feel nostalgic all over again. Daniel asked her if he can talk to her privately after the party. Michaela said yes, as she wanted to catch up more with him. Sally fully understands the situation, so she decided to hitch a ride to one of their former classmate who can drive her home..."Do you still remember the Inter High Basketball Championships?" Daniel suddenly asks her.Michaela took a sip of her coffee first before she spoke. She can still clearly remember everything that happened that day, because she was able to experience her very first heartbreak. "Yes, I confessed to you on that day. But
Kent extended his hand towards Nathaniel for a handshake."Nice to meet you, Nathaniel." Kent was the first one to speak."Likewise, Daniel." Kent said in return, as he shook Daniel's hand."Great! Please take a seat, guys. I'll just ask someone to get us some drinks and snacks." Michaela smilingly informs them.Unbeknownst to her, Kent and Daniel are staring at each other straight in the eye, as they see each other as rivals when it comes to Michaela's love and attention.================================"Are you aware that Daniel and Kent are inlove with you?" Sally suddenly asked Michaela a million-dollar question.Michaela called Sally and begged her to have a sleepover at her house. She really needs someone to talk to at this critical time.Few hours ago, Kent asked her to meet him at the Waldorf University rooftop. After all of their classes, they both met up at the rooftop.Michaela had a surprise of her life when Kent suddenly confessed his feelings to her...*FLASHBACK*"I'll

Dana smugly smiled at her strange thoughts.This would be a perfect place for hopeless romantics.

Fifty TwoThe next day. Dana woke up in a good mood the next morning. She did some stretching, while calculating on how many hours did she sleep last night. She realizes that she slept for exactly eight hours.When she was still in the Metropolitan City, she's having a difficult time sleeping because she's been mostly out partying with friends, until the wee hours in the morning.She took a quick glance on her left foot. It's not fully recovered, but the good thing is, it's not that swollen anymore, and it doesn't hurt that much.Her mind went back to what happened yesterday. The annoying guy, who's name is Marcus, escorted her back into his house as he carefully assisted her. His mother warmly welcomed her into their house, and she was the one who did the first aid on her swollen foot.Afterwards, the woman treated her with a nice cup of warm tea and some pastries. It was not the expensive kind of treat, but nevertheless, it was very delicious.She was really given a nice and warm

Aunt Margie reminded Marcus."I promise I will take care of her, Aunt Maggie." Marcus made a promise.Dana almost rolled her eyes heavenward. Her Aunt is really an old-fashioned type of person, but she can't really blame her. She knows that she's just trying to protect her.After a few more reminders, Marcus and Dana finally started walking towards the man
