"Why did you do that Allysa Chloe? You ruined the reputation that we had. What will your Daddy say when he finds out?"My Mom asked angrily when we got inside our house."As I said Mom I really don't know why that answer key ended up in my bag."I explained to her while sitting on the couch."Are you going to lie to me as well? If you had previously convinced the faculty members that you had nothing to do with what happened. I can't, and please can you stop giving some excuses, when are you going to stop lying?""But I'm just telling the truth. Whatever they said earlier that's a false accusation, Mom. I really had nothing to do with what happened and why would I do that? Do I look like I'm thirsty for academic validation? You know me Mom, I'm not that kind of person. Since I started studying, all the achievements that I get in school have been working hard for them Mom, so why would I do something that will ruin me?"I explained to her."You should explain it to your Dad Allysa Chloe
Allysa Chloe HernandezThe next dayToday is Saturday and I woke up early because I have to go to school. My community service will start at 6:00 to 10:00 am. I don't want to do this because I know to myself that I am innocent but my Mom has agreed and I can't say no to her. I also don't want to embarrass her with our dean yesterday and I will only get scolded even more. I know I'm a bit stubborn but I'm letting it go and I depend on the situation I'm in.I prepared the bag that I will bring. I brought an extra t-shirt, towel and jogging pants. I also carried a tumbler with cold water and a sandwich while leaving the house. When I saw Manong Jose, He drove me to my university.When I arrived at the university, there were few people and also the security guard who was guarding the gate of our university.Before entering I asked our security guard."Am I the only one scheduled to do community service today?""For the regular students, yes, you are the only one, but a lot of scholars and
Allysa Chloe HernandezWhen my Mom and Dad arrived at the clinic, we went home. We are all quiet in the car on the way to our house. No one wants to start a conversation. I also don't want to talk because Mom and Dad might argue.I got out of the car when I got home. Manang Helen helped me to get inside. My brother looked so worried when he saw me. He approached me and asked me if I was okay? I told him that I'm fine and not to worry. I know that brother is very stubborn all the time but he really cared for me.Mom asked Manang Helen to take me upstairs to rest and said that she would just bring me lunch so I wouldn't have to come down so I agreed. When I got to my room, I immediately changed into my house clothes. I sat on the edge of my bed and took out my cell phone. I was browsing my friends' ig stories when I came across Kent Liam's ig story. A stolen shot of him with the caption "He's happy because his crush did community service earlier."It was an ig story of her friend that h
Allysa Chloe HernandezMonday morning I woke up early because I didn't want to be late for school.I feel fine because I rested for almost a week. I didn't even attend our fellowship at the church because I really needed to rest and my Dad didn't allow me either because he might wonder how I would be there.After I showered and changed into my school uniform, I went downstairs. Carrying my shoulder bag, I went straight to the dining area and saw my brother, Allen."Where's Mom and Dad Allen?"I ask him."They already left early. They say they have an early meeting with the client. Sit down and eat. I'll take you to school."He commanded.I sat on the seat opposite him and I started eating. I got a sandwich, hotdog, bacon and also Manang made me some hot chocolate.When my brother noticed that I took the same sandwich, he spoke."Eat a lot Allysa. Dieting isn't trendy right now."Then he took another sandwich and put it on my plate."Eat it."He commanded with a smile as if he was stil
Allysa Chloe HernandezBea and I went to the clinic to ask nurse Mia for alcohol. Even though it was painful, she tried to clean the scratches on my arm.Then we went straight to our room because the afternoon class was about to start.While listening to our instructor, I couldn't help but feel annoyed with Kyline and her friends. Bea and I will tell the dean what happened so that my name can be cleared and the issue I'm involved in is over.When the class was over, there was a sudden meeting of all the block presidents of each section of all the departments and I was one of them.While I was in the meeting room and waiting to start, I saw the senior student come in earlier, the one who helped Kyline and I wean together with the other presidents of other block sections. He walked closer to where I was and he sat on the seat near me. I thought he was going to sit next to me, fortunately he sat in the fourth seat from me. There were two seats between us.He smirked when I glanced at him
Allysa Chloe HernandezWhen Manong Jose arrived, we went home.When I got home, I immediately went straight to the room. I changed my house clothes and started doing school work.At 7pm I went down to eat dinner. When I got to the dining area, I found Mom and Dad waiting. Maybe we had something to talk about so they went home early."There she is."Daddy said when he saw me."Let's eat Allysa."Mom said. While we were eating dinner, Mom spoke about something. "Allysa, did you do something stupid again?"She asked me."Why?"I asked her. "Well the dean just called me earlier. She said there was an issue about you that needed to be discussed. What did you do again? Allysa can you please start to avoid some troubles. You're not a child anymore."Maybe Kyline and her friends complained to the dean's office earlier. Well she's the one who started it."Just a little cat fighting Mom."It was the only answer I gave to her. "With whom? And why did you do that?"This question surprised me
Allysa Chloe Hernandez The nervousness I felt stopped when my Mom spoke. She saved me. "Dinner is ready Mr. and Mrs. Enriquez. Let's eat first. We can talk about other things over dinner. So let's go?" Mom smiled when she invited our guest to eat dinner. They immediately agreed, got up and walked towards the dining area while I followed behind them, as did Dave Arkiel as if he was forced to do what he was doing. My brother was almost walking with me while smiling. I know he wants to tease me because I'm sure he can tell I'm nervous. He just couldn't because we had guests. When they arrived at the dining area, my Mom and Dad and the Enriquez couple sat down first. I was about to sit in the seat next to my Mom when Dave Arkiel suddenly came and pulled a chair for me. What a gentleman or maybe just trying to impress. "Thank you." The only thing I said to him while smiling. He smiled back. I noticed that my brother laughed for a moment. He was really teasing me. He really kn
Allysa Chloe HernandezSaturday morning. I packed all the things that I might need. I also bring some snacks and other personal things.Bea said that we are going to spend the night. That's why I told it to my Mom and Dad just last night, fortunately they allowed me but on one condition. My brother Allen will drop us off and pick us up at the beach we chose and he will also arrange check-in at the hotel to make sure we are not with anyone else.It was just 6am and we were already on our way. It's as good as bathing in the sea early. We passed by Bea at their house. During the trip, we kept talking."Brother Allen what do you think about the man who will be Allysa's soon to be fiance?"Bea suddenly asked my brother Allen. Why did she have to ask that?"Well he's good. They're good. He's even a gentleman, isn't he? Allysa?"My Brother Allen said with a smile while grinning at me. He really still teases me up to this day."Oh, that's it. So what are you saying you don't like him, Allysa.
Allysa Chloe HernandezWhen I got home, I immediately went up to the room to get dressed. It's Monday and I have a lot of school work to finish so I thought I'd have a snack before starting my work.I just ate cookies and drank pineapple juice. Then I went up to the room again. I have started doing school work. I don't know what else to feel. Yesterday I felt like I liked Dave Arkiel, and the next day Kent Liam. Maybe it's because of the actions they show me. I can get attached to someone very quickly. That's the thing I hate the most about myself.While I was taking down notes, Kenny called. What else is this gossip of my friend carrying?"Hey girl, we have a problem."He said on the other line when I answered his call."What's the problem?"I asked him. Maybe it was just a prank later."It's because our Camp will take place next week. The date has been adjusted because of our school's next event. The Camp is said to be moving next week."I was surprised when he said that. I haven't
Allysa Chloe HernandezThe days passed quickly and Monday arrived- the day I was waiting for the most. Because apart from getting the book from Kent Liam, I will also see him.I was just about to enter the university and I was like a teenager who was excited to see his crush. Liam said that I should go to the Engineering Building at lunch time because he was sure that he would not leave during lunch time. He also asked me on ig what floor and room number, the only thing I really have to do is go there. I'm going to bring Bea with me, so it won't be too embarrassing.When I arrived at the university, I immediately went straight to Business Ad. building. While our prof. Discussing our topic in Salesmanship. I was really bored. I want time to speed up so I can go to my crush right away. I can't wait to see him.After class, at lunch time, I quickly pulled Bea out of the room. Kenny left because he wanted to go straight to the cafeteria. Maybe he is hungry. We immediately boarded the elev
Allysa Chloe HernandezWhen I got to the park, I went to my favorite place and sat on the seat there.I like seeing Kent Liam again, like the day before. I don't know but I feel comfortable with him, I'm not shy, annoyed or nervous. It's not like when Dave Arkiel is with me.While I was sitting and reading a book I bought at the bookstore earlier, I noticed the man Kent Liam and I bought ice cream from a while ago passed by. It stopped at the side because there was a mother and daughter who wanted to buy it, so I also approached."Manong, just one piece for the 20 pesos each ice cream in a cup, just the cheese."I said to the ice cream seller.When he handed the ice cream to me, he smiled. Then spoke. Maybe he remembers me."You were the one with Kent Liam last time, right? I'm Mang Bert.""Ah yes, it's me."I said with a smile because he seemed kind and approachable"Yes, I remember you. Are you his girlfriend, hija?"This is a curious question to me."No, I just know him. He’s my sc
Allysa Chloe HernandezI went straight to the shower as soon as I got to my room. What are they thinking? That we are really in love with each other? Hays. It's annoying, what the hell did I get into this? If my Dad doesn't get really angry, I will never do this. As in never. After I showered, I got dressed and went downstairs. I found Dave Arkiel sitting on the couch still holding the red envelope his parents gave him."Where are you going?"He asked me when he noticed that I came down."At the bookstore."I answered him sparingly."I'll come with you. I'll just get dressed for a moment."Then he quickly went to his room. He didn't even wait for me to answer if I would agree to accompany him. This man has a decision to make.He doesn’t need to come with me. I mean I can go all by myself. After a while he also came down. He’s wearing a white khaki shorts, a black shirt and white sneakers."So let's go?"He asked me.I nodded in response and we left the house together.When we got in
Allysa Chloe Hernandez"What do you think you're doing?"I was surprised to say to Dave Arkiel when I saw him fixing the bed where I would sleep.He was also surprised to see me and suddenly turned his back on me. My ghad I forgot I was wearing a bathrobe when I came out of the bathroom.I quickly entered the bathroom and slammed the door. It's embarrassing, why is he here?I came out wearing my pajamas. I put my hair back because I'm going to blow dry my hair later."What are you doing here?"I asked him, annoyed."What else can I sleep here?"He answered me while sitting on the couch in the room."You're going to sleep here? I'll just go to the guest room."I answered him, then I took my suitcase and started to go out the door."Wait, what are you thinking? We'll both sleep here."He explained it to me.I faced him and spoke."What else are you talking about? FYI Mr. Enriquez, it doesn't mean that I agree to marry you, you can do what you want. And one more thing, don't interfere wi
Allysa Chloe HernandezThe next dayI woke up early because the event organizers who were hired by my Mom and Dad came to our home early. Those are the friends of my brother, they are already making noise downstairs at 6 am, obviously they are even more excited than me. So even if I want to sleep more, I can't because I'm sure my Mom and my Daddy will definitely scold me.I don't want to start the day with a misunderstanding.After I showered, I got dressed and went downstairs. I came into the dining area and I found them happily talking, I'm sure their topic was me again. Well, who else that they are talking about? I'm the only one who has a special celebration? Hayyysst, is that special? I'm just now thinking that it might turn into a nightmare in life."There she is."My Aunt Amelia smiled when she saw me. By the way, she's my favorite auntie. She was sad to know about my engagement party today because she didn't expect it to happen sooner. But we have no choice because my parents
Allysa Chloe HernandezAfter three months.Time passed quickly. Three months have already passed. It seems like I've been really stubborn with my parents for the upcoming engagement party, but I didn't know that Dave Arkiel and I would actually make it. I tried many ways to prevent the engagement party from happening but in the end I still couldn't do anything. It even got to the point that I ran away from our own home so that the discussed marriage wouldn't go through, but in the end nothing happened. My Mom and Dad are right, I can't take care of myself yet. I can't do anything without them by my side.The engagement party will take place tomorrow. Many guests were invited, especially the people who were business partners of the two families. I know from the start that the upcoming engagement party is for the convenience of the two families. Dave Arkiel and I have talked about this. We just have to be good at pretending otherwise we're both doomed. We never agreed to this idea. So w
Allysa Chloe HernandezAfter arriving home, I found my Mom and Dad in the living room. I immediately approached them and gave them a kiss on the cheek. My two friends did the same.My parents already know my best friends because we've been friends since grade school until now we're in college. We treat them like our family because they are not different from us."Where have you been, my daughter? We've been waiting for you for a while. I've been calling you before but you didn't answer."My mom asked worriedly."I'm sorry Mom, we were just at the cafe earlier. We were talking about school stuff so maybe I didn't notice you calling, right girls?"I asked my friends who immediately
Allysa Chloe HernandezSaturday at 1pm. Kenny and Bea visited me at home. I was lying in my bed when they came and entered my room. After entering inside, I immediately asked them. The timing was wrong, I was thinking about something and then someone suddenly knocked. What's wrong with these people?"What are you doing here?"I opened a door for them as they sat on the couch on the side."We missed you, why is there something wrong?"Kenny answered. I miss it like it was just one day when we were together."Don't fool me. Why?"I hate them."Kyla is inviting us to her birthday party later a
