[Vida's Point of View]"Oh? Vida. Why are you so quick to go home? It's not even five o'clock.""Our adviser sent us home immediately. They said they had a meeting," lied. I can't tell Grandma the truth. She might scold me when she finds out. What I said to Dion earlier was just a joke.Tss. The jerk entered the conversation again."Your arrival is just right. I'm cooking soup. It'll be cooked soon. Change your clothes first, or you might dry out with sweat," she said.I immediately followed her and went to my room. I dropped my body on the bed and closed my eyes.A lot has happened today. It's tiring. It's extremely vexing. I really can't be with Dion for long because I won't stay away from misfortune.It's just like before when I went to their school. It's a good thing Kuya Vincent was there to defend me from those bitches.Later, when he comes home, I should thank him."Oops, there's another one!" Suddenly, another misfortune that Dion had caus

[Dion's Point of View]I got into my car and continued searching for Vida. It suddenly rained earlier, so I took shelter at the store I passed. I am worried because Vida might not have gotten into a vehicle and she got wet from the rain.When I returned home earlier, Cindy was gone, said Manang Felicita. Maybe she's searching for me too, because I couldn't get to say goodbye to her earlier.The rain has stopped, but it’s already dark outside.Vida is still occupying my mind. I have a strong feeling that she is just walking.And I wasn't wrong at all because my eyes caught her walking alone in the street.I parked my car and immediately grabbed the umbrella from the back seat I brought in case the rain poured again.I met her because I parked my car ahead of her. Because of the lights coming from the vehicles passing by, I saw how her face reacted when she saw me coming.She looks scared."D-Dion? What are you doing here? " Her voice is trembling.

[Vida's Point of View]"Congrats, Vida!" Faye hugged me tightly, so I did the same."That's enough, I can't breathe," I jokingly told her. But she also got off me and squeezed my cheek lightly. I didn't retaliate either.“You are really great, dear. You are already talented and smart. I really hope I am the same with you! ”I stared at her. "It's just luck, Faye," I countered."Asus!" She then laughed at me. Lola Clarita, who had just signed my card, approached us. "Lola, will Vida have a blow-out later?" Faye asked. I tapped her.I saw Grandma just smile and turn her gaze to me. "Won't you look at your report card, Vida?"I shook my head. I'd rather not look at it because it's unbelievable. I really thought I wouldn't go to honors because I always sleep in class and sometimes I am late submitting assignments and projects. Actually, I'm feeling very fortunate because I've been in the top five."Oh, all right. Faye and I will be ahead of you. I still have to go to the market to buy ingr

[Faye's Point of View]Was my decision really right? No.It will never be right because it is a big mistake for me to answer the person I don't like."Love, are you free later?" Ken asked as he hugged me from behind. I was not comfortable. That's why I immediately removed his arm that was wrapped around me."Uhh... I don't know. I'll be busy later, I-I have an assignment to do," I reasoned."Really? Maybe you're just really avoiding me." I could see the frustration on his face."What? Don't think like that, Ken. We've been together almost every day. Then you'll say something like that? That I'm avoiding you?""Yeah, we're together every day, but I feel like I don't have your attention. We're only on for a few weeks, but you're starting to get cold right away," he said seriously. I was suddenly nervous. He noticed my actions immediately? I don't want to get to the point where he doubts my feelings for him, or maybe he's already doubting them. Please no."Look, you're stunned again." He

[Vida's Point of View]Sa tuwing maaalala ko o nakakakita ako ng mga bagay-bagay na konektado sa mama at papa ko, hindi ko maiwasang malungkot. Sino ba naman ang hindi ang malulungkot? Haha. Kung kahapon, tawang-tawa pa ako sa 'hotdog seller' eksena ni Dion, ngayon parang nakakapagsisi na pinagtawanan ko 'yon. Naalala ko na iniiwasan ko nga pala ang hotdog at hipon kasi namimiss ko lang lalo ang magulang ko. Malaki ang kaugnayan nito sa kanila, at hindi ko talaga maiwasan na maiyak tuwing sumasagi sa isip ko. Kahit pa sabihin na ang oa ko kasi pagkain lang naman 'yon. "Vida, I really need your help. Samahan mo ako mamili." Kanina lang pagkatapos ko magsaing, bigla akong tinawagan ni Dion para humingi sa 'kin ng tulong mamili ng hotdog na inorder sa kan'ya ng mga kasamahan ni Lola sa trabaho."Hindi ako sasama. Kasalanan mo na 'yan, panget mo kasi magsinungaling. Bahala ka mamili mag-isa. " Akala n'ya siguro, kaibigan na talaga ang turing ko sa kan'ya. "Hey, Vida? Don't end the call
