Like I said, I don't have time for Karylle, so I left her there. What does she think of herself for me to follow her order to stay away from Brandon? I can't help but laugh in my head when I think about her reaction when she finds out that I got Brandon ahead of her.

It took me a long time at the counter because I bought so many groceries, but it was worth it because I will have stocks of food at home even if I'm there alone. I'm also planning to buy a TV so I can put it in my room, but I'll just go to the mall tomorrow to look for it.

After I finished at the grocery store, I went to the cafe to buy my lunch there. I was about to eat there, but I remembered that I had bought some ice cream. I need to put it in the freezer right away so it doesn't melt.

I think I got home at one o'clock, and I was starving; that's why I ate right away before I continued fixing the food I bought. I just watched it on my iPad while eating for fun, and when I finished, I washed the dishes I used.

    I smiled while looking at the table set up. I also put a candle there to make the presentation more beautiful. I wasn't sure if Brandon would like it, but I'm glad I did. I even wanted to put flowers on it, but I didn't buy anything outside earlier.I took my phone and took a picture. I'm very proud of myself right now because I've only done something like this in my whole life. It's fun and satisfying to feel like you're making an effort, especially when you know what you're doing is special. I can't wait for Brandon to get here.I just covered the food on the table for a while and went up to the bedroom to get dressed in a nice dress. Maybe it's not obvious that I prepared too much for Brandon's and my dinner tonight, huh?After I finished dressing and fixing myself, I went downstairs again, but my eyes almost widened when I saw Brandon was there in the living room. He was sitting and holding a flower; when he saw me, he immediately stood up. I smiled big and quickly walked towards

    A few moments later, Brandon came up to my room, which is why I looked at him with a frown. He went straight to his bag that I placed on the sofa in my room."Why did it take you so long? There are only a few dirty plates?" I asked him.He just looked at me while taking something from his bag before speaking."I even locked the doors, and the gate. Before you come here to your room you should make sure you have locked the gate," he said.I remained sitting on the end of my bed, and just laughed a little."I haven't locked the gate since I came here. No one has tried to enter here either, so that's fine," I explained to him.His shoulders almost slumped as if he got tired of telling me so I just raised an eyebrow at him."Right now, yes. No one is really coming in, but what if someone suddenly comes in here? You shouldn't be too complacent in this place, Z. We can't guarantee that no one will come in here, especially if someone knows that you're always alone here ," he said one after t

    The next day I just woke up with a lot of pain in my middle. Brandon and I had so much going on last night, and thinking about it almost makes my cheeks heat up. We made a lot of noise here last night, and I'm really thankful that we don't have neighbors to hear our every moan.I just woke up without Brandon by my side, so I immediately looked at the sofa in my room to see if his things were still there. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it was still there. Only half of my body was able to get up while I was wrapped in my thick comforter. I can feel that I'm still naked; the only thing I'm wearing is my underwear.I took a deep breath and forced myself to get up, only to see the door of my room open. I saw Brandon there, and he was carrying a bed tray with food on it. My lips parted as he came closer to me."Stay there," he said.He put the tray on the side of my bed for a while, and he gave me some clothes, so I immediately put them on when I finally got up from lying down.

    Brandon drove me back to my car that night. He didn't come with me because tomorrow is Monday and we have class again. That's okay because he can't sleep with me all the time.The next day I woke up early because of my alarm. My class was still at eight a.m. But I woke up at six in the morning. I quickly showered and dressed myself before going downstairs.When I went down to the living room, I found the door of the house open, so I frowned and looked at it. I also heard that someone was cooking in the kitchen, so I immediately went there, expecting to see Brandon, but I saw Manang Gina cooking there."Good morning, Z. How was your weekend?" Manang Gina asked me, smiling.I also smiled and started to make my coffee."Good morning, Manang. My weekend was fine. How about you? It looks like you had a lot of work yesterday," I said to her."Ah yes, but we're taking a break today. Tomorrow is work again, so I might not be able to pass by here tomorrow," she said.I was surprised, because s

    My clothes were still a mess, and it was so dirty that I had to go back to the parking lot where my car was to change clothes. Fortunately, I always carry extra clothes in my car! Otherwise I might go to class with dirty clothes!I was nervous while walking to our classroom. I'm thirty minutes late, but I'm going in anyway, because I don't want to miss a topic. If I can pursue the discussion, I will do so as long as I am not absent from that subject.Mrs. Marquez turned her back to me because he was busy writing on the whiteboard, so I took advantage of it immediately so she didn't notice that I was late, but I didn't even sit next to Brandon when she turned in front of the class and saw me. My chest fluttered as the two of us looked at each other. I know Mrs. Marquez, of all the professors here, is the most strict, so she thinks it's just scary."Miss Del Real!"

    "Oh my gosh, girls! Look who's here!"Kyla and I were looking at the sides when we heard a voice. I saw Karylle's group again, and this time she was with boys who were their friends. My eyes almost rolled up, and I avoided looking at them to continue my meal. I also noticed Kyla's face that she had a trace of fear that I felt, so I took a deep breath before speaking."Just don't mind them. Just keep eating your food," I told her."A snake and a user. It's a thing for them to be friends."I held the fork tightly. This girl is really getting on my nerves, and I swear, I'm still holding my patience. She had always told me that I had stolen Brandon from her, even in the first place, when they had no relationship. She's so delusional!They passed by our table, and for a moment, they looked at us, but at least I thought I didn't throw them away. They don't even deserve my attention. They sat at a table not far from us; as usual, they were at the table where they were always sitting."Z, aft

    How do people learn how to love and trust again after being hurt so many times by their loved ones?I know that emotions are hard to deal with, but we have to face them when they come to us. Hurt is a difficult one, but you have to learn how to handle it as well as any other emotion. You are sad, perhaps angry; you don't want to deal with it, but you have to. And that's how life works...As I stand here while drinking my red wine on either side of the ledge, looking down from twelve stories above the streets of Metro Manila, I can't help but think about suicide.Of course, not my own. I love my life enough to do those things. I can only imagine how they could decide to end their lives. Do they ever regret it? I know we all have our own challenges, but is suicide really the solution?"Zari!"I rolled my eyes when I heard my sister Margot's voice. I know the reason why she is here."I've been looking for you for a while. What are you doing here?" she asked me.I sighed and backed away s

    "Z! Are you coming tonight?"I widened Lexy's eyes and signaled to her not to be noisy. It's Friday, and my friends want to have fun tonight at a bar not far from our school because it's also a birthday celebration for one of our team members.We were in the school's closed gym. I just sat on the bench to drink water and rest for a while. I just finished my volleyball training and am waiting for Bettina. She's a cheerleader at our school. Of course, she's beautiful and talented; that's why most of the boys on campus are courting her."I need your answer now, so I can prepare what I'm going to wear right away!" Lexy said artfully.I rolled my eyes and approached her before speaking."I'll just message you later. You know that I'll just escape again," I answered her.She laughed and poked me lightly in the side."You're really such a brat! What if your mom and dad find out? I might get scolded too if they find out I'm with you!" Lexy was preaching to me.I was tormented again and held m

    After Brandon and I finished breakfast, I let him go home. I just let him do the washing there, so I could do something that morning. Another thing is that his father might be looking for him. I'm sure he'll wonder why his son didn't come home last night, but knowing Brandon, I know he'll find a way to apologize to his dad.When I finished doing my stuff, I immediately took a shower to go to the grocery store. It's my first time in my whole life to do this, and I'm a little nervous because I don't know how to grocery shop. If I let Brandon come with me, I would probably disturb him in his work today. I don't want to do that, because he also has a responsibility to do to his life.When I finished taking a shower, I got dressed right away. I just wore gray sweatpants and a white shirt to feel comfortable because I might get hot later after buying my groceries.I sat on my bed while trying to put on my shoes when I felt my phone vibrate on my bed. I took a deep breath before picking it u

    I know it was hard to think about what happened between me and Brandon, but all I can say is that I enjoyed it. It was my first time to do it, and I can't believe that I will experience that thing with him after dating many guys in our town, but even so, I have no regrets. Brandon and I fell asleep in my room, and I woke up around midnight. I don't know how we fell asleep right after doing that thing. I just woke up with Brandon hugging me, and I slowly left his side. I can feel my soreness down there, but I forced myself to walk to my bathroom. I soaked in my bathtub for a while while processing what happened. I don't care if what we did was right or wrong, even though it's not clear to me what my relationship with Brandon will be like. We both had the effects of alcohol last night, and even though I knew we were both sober, I still wanted to be sure. After taking a bath, I just prepared clothes for Brandon. Good thing I bought a lot of new clothes. It's oversized shirts, so I kn
