"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
Fifty One SweetDana looks around at the ancestral house of the family where her Maternal. Aunt lives, which is Aunt Maggie. This ancestral house was built during the Spanish era. The sliding window is made of capiz.. .The houses foundation is made of red bricks, and they have a grand staircase. She feels like she's being transported back to the past. Dana smugly smiled at her strange thoughts.This would be a perfect place for hopeless romantics. But for a realistic person like her, this place looks boring like hell."This might be an old house, but I can assure you that it's safe here and comfortable. You have a king-sized bed in your room." Aunt Maggie told her, as they are climbing up the grand staircase.Dana just sighed in frustration."Yeah, whatever." she mumbled, while rolling her eyes heavenward.This will be your room, Dana... This is also where your mom used to sleep." Aunt Maggie stated, as they enter a certain room.Dana saw a King-sized bed which is a good thing for he
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
The day of the mango harvesting finally came. Dana woke up at 3:30 am, and she's all set and ready at four o'clock in the morning. She's getting used to waking up early in the morning, and she's starting to like it.She went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of hot coffee. She's drinking her coffee while enjoying the coldness and peacefulness of this morning...At exactly 4:30 in the morning, Marcus is finally at their doorsteps, waiting for her because they are going together to the mango farm.Before she and Marcus can finally go to the farm, her Aunt Maggie gave them last-minute reminders."Please watch over my niece, Marcus." 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
"I'm absolutely sure that you'll find someone who will love you for who you are, not because of your beauty, or the way you dresses and not because of your status in life. Someone will definitely love you with all their mind, heart and soul..." Martin seriously said, as he stares right into Sarah's eyes.Sarah doesn't know why, but those words that comes out from Martin's mouth are like music to her ears. No one man has said something like this to her, and it made her feel really special as a woman.As a career woman, she has been known as "Iron Woman." She tough, she's strict, she's a hard nut to crack, and she doesn't show any emotions to her colleagues.She's been showing her strengths to her co-workers and she's making sure that she hides her weaknesses. Since she started working, she's giving this "Indestructible Woman" kind of vibe.She thinks that its one of the reasons why men doesn't want to get closer to her.And now, out of the blue, there's this amazing man who never fails
After a few minutes, Martin politely said his goodbyes, and afterwards, he walks back to the kitchen.The kitchen's not busy anymore because lunchtime is already over. Martin fell into a deep thought. Tyler and Cassandra seems to be a very nice couple. Tyler's a very pleasant and handsome man, and it's no wonder why Sarah's been inlove with him.However, it was clear as day that the man's head over and heels inlove with Cassandra.He feels a bit sorry and proud of Sarah because she decided to sacrifice her feelings towards the man that she loves, in exchange of the happiness of her friends.He wants to do something to make her feel better, to let her know that she's going to be alright...============================Few days have passed.Sarah took a deep calming breath before stepping inside the restaurant. She decided to go back to the restaurant after their luncheon date with Tyler and Cassandra. She wanted to thank Martin for keeping her secret, and he pretended that they haven'
Three days quickly flew by... "Where are the newly-engaged couple anyway?" Kyla suddenly wondered aloud, as she started checking for her phone to see if Tyler and Cassandra has called or sent a message.Sarah checked her own phone and she smiled when she read Cassandra's message."Oh, Cass just messaged me and she said that they are on their way now." she informed her friend."Great, I'm really starving right now. I haven't eaten breakfast because I've been taking care of the twins and I was so busy giving my hubby a quick lesson about taking care of the kids." Kyla blabbered on."I think you and your husband are doing a great job. I'm sure Tyler and Cass will ask for your advice once they have their own baby." Sarah stated."How about you? Aren't you planning on getting married and having a family of your own?" Kyla started asking her questions."Not in the near future." Sarah answered in return, while shrugging her shoulders."Be careful of what you say, my friend. We don't know wh
A week quickly passed by.Cassandra groaned inwardly when she heard her smartphone ringing. She was still sleeping because she didn't sleep a wink last night because she's been thinking about Tyler.Her fiancé didn't call her for a week, and it really breaks her heart. She wanted to call her first, but her pride gets in the way...She looked the caller screen, hoping that it was a call from Tyler. But she felt a pang of disappointed when she saw that it was her mentor from the Aesthetics School in London."Hello, Miss Robin?""Hello, there, dahlin'. So, have you made your decision about extending your contract with us?" Mrs. Robin went straight to the point with her phone call.Well... Tyler didn't call for a week, and based on what they have discussed in the park, it's obvious that they called off their engagement... There's no way for her to stay here, and going back to to work in London can serve as a positive distraction for her..."Yes, Miss Robin. I gladly accept your offer. Whe
"Our advise won't really matter, Gianna. We're not the one who's getting married... It's you." Sarah frankly stated."--But what do you really want to do? Do you want to postpone the wedding for another two years for you to continue pursuing your dream?" Kyla suddenly asked."--Or do you want to forget about that job opportunity and be a full-time wife?" Sarah asked Cassandra another question. "I really don't have any idea, girls. If I could, I want to do both." Cassandra said, while shaking her head."I think the right thing to do is to talk to your fiancé about it. You need to sort out this problem, since you're going to be married soon, and whatever decisions you might have, it will affect both of you." Sarah seriously commented."You're right... I just need to find the perfect timing to talk to Tyler. He's been talking about the wedding for the passed few days." Casandra lets out a sigh."Do it as soon as possible before it's too late." Kyla advised."Yes. The sooner the better,
Cassandra roamed her eyes around the Departure Area inside the airport. She's finally home after two years of studying in London, and she feels really good to be back home. "Cassandra, over here!"Cassandra's smile almost reached her ears when she saw her future husband waving at her. She quickly walked towards to her direction, while pushing the baggage cart.Tyler gave her a bouquet of pink flowers, and after that, they shared a quick, loving kiss."Welcome back home, my love. I know you're already hungry and tired, so let's eat lunch first before I drive you back to your apartment, okay?" he suggested."Okay, that sounds good." Cassandra agreed.After a few minutes, they were already making their way to the parking lot when Tyler's mobile phone suddenly rang."Oh, let me just answer this call, love." said Tyler."Okay."Tyler went back to Cassandra as soon as he finished the call."Let's go, my love, so that you can take a rest after that long flight.""Thanks, love." answered Cas
As weeks and months goes by,Tyler and Cassandra's friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship. They have been a couple for almost six months now, and their love for each other are now getting stronger as ever.Cassandra is currently waiting for her boyfriend at their favorite hangout place, which is the Botanical Garden located at the Waldorf University campus... Cassandra's getting all nervous and anxious because she needs to say something important to Tyler."Hello, love! I'm sorry for being late. I had to talk to Professor Smith about my upcoming thesis and I didn't even realized the time. Did you wait too long?" Tyler suddenly appeared, while looking apologetic."Oh, it's fine. I'm glad you're here." Cassandra responded."Why do you look so serious? Is there something wrong, my love?" Tyler suddenly asked, while looking so concerned."Please have a seat first, love. I need to tell you something important." Cassandra started.Tyler sat on the bench and stared at his girlfrien
"We're all hoping for the same thing, Cassandra. But for now, you should really go home and take a good, long rest." Kyla suggested as well.At the very same time, Tyler's car stopped in front of them. He opened the passenger's seat door for Cassandra, and the backseat door for Sarah and Kyla.After a few minutes, Tyler is now driving their way back to Cassandra's apartment...================================One week after the accident, all of the classes at Waldorf University resumes, and almost everything went back to normal.Tyler and Cassandra are at the University's Botanical Garden. They are waiting for Sarah and Kyla who are still at the library. The four of them planned to eat lunch together at a newly-opened pizza house near their campus."I have to tell you something, Cassie. I hope you can listen to me with an open mind and open heart." Tyler suddenly spoke, while looking so serious.Cassandra nervously swallowed an imaginary lump on her throat. This is the first time she'
Meanwhile...Tyler is now running with all his might towards the building where the explosion happened. The other students were standing at their own places, unable to move because of shock.He is worried scared and sick about Cassandra. Coincidentally, he bumped into their friends, Sarah and Kyla. "Let's go and look for Cassandra!" Sarah suggested, and she looks dead worried for Cassandra as well.Tyler nodded in approval. "I hope she's not seriously hurt!" he said, as the three of them started running their way towards the Arts and Science Building.After few more minutes of running, they finally reached the building.The scared students who were inside the building are being evacuated one by one.Tyler, Sarah and Kyla roamed their eyes around to look for Cassandra. They three of them heaved a sigh of relief when they finally saw Cassandra, who is walking with her female classmate. They are quite familiar with her, and the two girls are making their way out from the building. "A
