I wandered my eyes in the whole cafeteria. Some students are laughing while looking at Aliya, some are pointing at her, and the others are whispering with the people beside them. While I'm just observing at them before I darted my eyes at the poor Aliya who's now massaging her foot. 

My lips are still a bit parted, astounded of what I am seeing right now. The same Pigalle shoes Dad has given me is what she was wearing right now! My blood started to boil when her eyes met mine. I may look so bad but I thank the nerd for not giving her a hand and I highly appreciate the people who are laughing at her and give her the embarrassment she deserves. 

"Ah," I saw her flinch when she tried to pull herself up. She was wearing a white flowy dress and her black straight hair hangs lazily in her shoulders. 

She shakes her head and hardly stood up using a table near her. I stayed in

    I posted the photos I captured at the seaside earlier. This is my third boring day without school. I thought going there are the most boring moments of our life—not until I got suspended for a week.The first day, I slept and spent my hours watching movies. Uno can't go and spend time with me because he has class and a bit busy because of his birthday celebration happening three weeks from now. He calls me every time it's time to eat to remind me so it's okay. “I” don't want him to go here in my house because I know I will not let him go home.I think I'm cursed. I can still remember how much I loathe him and how I told him for a hundred times that I'll never like him but I just found myself being as clingy as fuck.I slept for the second day. Heck, I slept late on the first day

    "Uno, you told me you're busy. What are you doing here?" I swallowed hard as I tilted my head to stare at him. I can see from my peripheral vision that Aliya's gaze immediately darted when I spoke. A line appeared in between my brows as I waited for Uno's answer.All the colors drained out of Uno's face. His lips were parted as he gaped at me, moving his swivel chair to the side to stand up and walk towards me."I asked if you want to go with me, I didn't know you'll have a date with..." I licked my lips and gave Aliya a head to foot. "This bitch." I rolled my eyes and whirled around, removing the magic tape in my nape to pull the salon suit off and handed it to my stylist."Farrah, it's not what you think!""Sorry, I will just set a

    "Sorry, Grandma is just like that but she's nice." Uno held my hand and squeezed it. My eyes were glued at my shoes, still biting the insides of my cheeks and feeling the awkwardness from what happened just right now."Hey," he lifted my chin up and stared at me with his sad eyes. "She's nice, just don't mind her." He said and kissed my forehead."It's the first time that I saw her, I'm surprised." I bit my lips and sat on the nearest sofa. Uno placed his hands at the side of his waist and looked down on me."She's living in States, she's only here because of my birthday...""Come, let's go to my room and rest for a bit. Don't think about it again—""Uno!" A girl

    Uno's lips sucked my neck and his hand touches my lower abdomen which made me moan in pleasure."Uno..." Panting, my hands flew to his hair and pulled it up until he faced me. I crashed my lips with his and sucked his upper lip, opening my mouth wide for his tongue to enter. I shut my eyes close and held his nape, pulling him closer. I want to reach something, the fire I am feeling right now won't vanish and all I wanted is to hold him in between my arms."Uno...please..." I begged.His lips left mine and he's now kissing my jaw down to my neck. My hands traveled down to his chest to his lower abdomen as I stared at him with hot desire."We'll do it once I'm sure you love me." He smirked and left the bed to wear his pants on an

    Me, having a complete family will be put into an end.That's what I've thought after reading the paper. The only thing that is missing is my parents' signature. I balled my fist and put it in my chest, feeling the throbbing pain in my heart as I tried to stop myself from tearing up.I think this is unfair, Daddy wants to be free without thinking of us. Yes, maybe he isn't happy with his marriage, but can't he think about me? I'll be left with nothing but a broken and wounded heart.The steps that I did feels heavy. My energy turned zero and my whole system corrupted. I should be walking towards his office and scream at him for doing this thing, but what more can I do if the papers were here?

Some days, she will cook for him and serve it at lunch, which Uno ignores because he only focuses on feeding me and making sure that I'm fine.Talk about a madly in love man.I will always arch my brow at Aliya to show her that what she wanna do is a mission impossible.

    "Uno!" He whirled around in a haste and entered the driver's seat. My eyes widened, did he heard it?"Uno!" I yelled again when I tried to open the passenger door but it's locked. He started the engine and drove away from me. Even beneath my pumps, I ran and chased for his car. My heart is thumping fast and a lump in my throat made me swallow hard, trying to clear the clot in it."Uno!" I tapped the side of the car but he stepped on the gas and drove fast, completely vanishing out of my sight. I was left dumbfounded and confused.I walk back to the parking lot and saw Aliya's smug face. She was crossing her arms while leaning on a white car and playing a key in her fingers."Aw, I thought he'll always beg?" She arrogantly asks.

    I still can't believe it. Uno told me things I didn't imagine that will go out of his mouth. He always tells me comforting words and he's so understanding towards me that it almost seemed impossible. But I know, he didn't mean it. I want to believe that he said those things out of anger. He's just blinded by his emotions.I will do everything for him to forgive me."Manang, is this okay?" I asked the old maid as I stir the pot of I don't know what dish, all I know is that it needs to be delicious. I shook my head.I think this is exactly what Aliya has been doing these past few days and I swear I didn't know I will also do this. Never in my entire life I had imagined that I'll make an effort just for a man to forgive me! Heck, I will endure a day with my father but not this!

We have been in a couple of fights, may it be big or small...we fought.

She whispered. I smiled at her and reached for the velvet box on my pocket, and opened it."I can never lose my Farrah Saldivar again and I don't trust our first wedding...so I am asking her again.""Farrah, will you marry me, for real and for love?"

    "I told myself I will take this slow but this girl is impatient." I murmured when she asked about what I am doing. I have been purposely following her around, sometimes she doesn't notice it, but she did when I came inside the new coffee shop near their place."Uno, what are you really up to? I know how it hurts to see me. I know how hard it is to have lunch with me or even share a table while sipping coffee, so why are you doing this? I thought you don't want to see me because you are being reminded of our child? I am doing everything to give you time, but why are you making me confuse? Why are you giving me hope?""I am here because I still couldn't admit to myself that I no longer love you.

I wonder if he can still add some chili on it?" I heard her voice coming from behind. She wrapped her arms around my waist and glanced at the pan in front of me. I moved his body to the side and kissed the tip of her nose before glancing back to tha pan and stir it.

    She knows I love her that much that's why she is not worried g about being left behind nor think of what I would feel.That was what I realized after spending time inside my room without having to answer her calls and texts. It may look and sound like a gay, but I really hate how she can make me cry.When I came to school and talked with the juniors, she suddenly showed herself and looks like she will talk to me so I marched as fast as I could–not wanting to talk to her. I can still remember her words. It was etched on my mind, and I will not be able to talk to her unless all those thoughts already left my mind.I was walking fast when I heard her groan, I was in the middle of thinking whether I will go back to help her or not but just decided to resist her.I heard her calling my name repeatedly.

I didn't mean to tell her this story, but he asked me what's going on with Farrah and me.And yes, he knows how much I adored that girl. And he somehow hates her, telling me that Farrah will only bring me pain and nothing more."You don't understand because you aren't in love yet, but you will know once you do." I defended."No, if I will fall in love I will make sure that she knows my worth. Not like that. I will never let someone hurt me just because I love her." He shook his head.I just ignored his remarks, pretending that I am deaf. Because no one can ever make me change my mind. I got hurt, I forbid myself on texting her for days and not show up myself. I just hope that she will miss me and text me. When that happens, I will come running again even when she isn't rushing at all. T

    Farrah.That was her name.With her black hair, brownish-red lipsticks, artificial curls, and narrow nose, she got me. I know from that day that I like her. This was the first time that I felt this kind of attraction.I normally have crushes on celebrities and artists, some from my past school but with Farrah, it was different. I spent some months just watching her and occasionally approached her. May it be for a small pageant she won, a contest whom she said she doesn't like but is competitive enough to win and her birthday. I will sometimes greet her every time we will see each other, but I just found that a bit weird so I stopped myself from doing it and just smile when our eyes will meet.Until I no longer like how boys hold him. She was a boy magnet! Every boy from the hallway would always turn their heads the moment she walks in the middle like a ramp model! It was making me angry, so I tried to be close to her and asked her if I can court her.
