MINLYN VERMOSA"Oh, Minlyn, I guess you're late?" comment from my boss here at the coffee shop where I work."S-sorry, B-boss, I did my research paper and I fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning," I apologized.My schedule is really a hassle because apart from being a first year college student, I also have a part-time job as a cashier at a coffee shop owned by my friend's cousin, Sunrise and Sunset Coffee Shop.I got home late last night because I worked overtime here at the shop, I did my school works so I fell asleep at three o'clock. Then I woke up earlier at five in the morning so I was really late. That's why it's called the Sunrise and Sunset Coffee Shop because it opens before sunrise and closes after sunset. I'm still sleepy because I'm not getting enough sleep. Fortunately, my first class is scheduled for eleven o'clock today, so there is still plenty of time. My schedule is different every day, and it's the same here at the coffee shop."Alright, get to work. We'll be

MINLYN VERMOSA"MINLYN! I turned to the man who called me. It was Ark, my blockmate. He ran to me.I greeted him with a smile. "What's up?" I asked modestly.He couldn't answer because he was still panting. When he caught his breath, he looked at my knee."Y-your knee is b-bleeding..."I also looked there and winced when I saw that there was a lot of blood. I forgot that I had a wound because of my crash earlier."Oh...I-I got into an accident on my way here," I replied.Concern immediately drawn on his face. "W-what? Why? Are you okay?"I smiled a little. "Don't worry, Ark, I'm okay. I'll treat it later.""B-but you need to treat it now. It might get worse," he said worriedly."I'm fine, Ark. It'll heal quickly."He shook his head. "No, Minlyn. What if you get infected? That's even worse."I bit my lower lip and looked at my bleeding knee. The wound isn't that big but it does have blood. Even if it's small, it's an open wound, so it's not likely to get infected if it's not treated r

MINLYN VERMOSAMy class ended late because there was a short meeting in our section. This is for the short business we will present. While listening, I secretly slapped my forehead because it was another expense. I haven't finished paying for our electricity and the disconnection is near. Surely if I can't pay that we will have a power cut.I was about to go home when I realized that my wallet was not in my bag. I quickly went to our room to go back there. I'm sure it was just there because that's where I landed my wallet when our leader charged a contribution for the short business.But I was so depressed when I saw that our room was locked and I couldn't go in there. I think my professor is already at the faculty and is getting ready to go home."How can I get this home..." I mumbled to myself. I just slapped my cheek because of my own stupidity.I walked out of the university gate with a frown. It's getting dark around here because it's almost 8 P.M. However, there are still many p

MINLYN VERMOSAI woke up because the sun hit my cheek. I looked at the clock and saw that it was eight o'clock in the morning. I immediately jumped out of bed when I realized that I was already late for class.My class was supposed to start at 9AM and now it's 8AM! I don't even have a chance to go to the coffee shop because my class today starts at 9AM."Why didn't I wake up?!" I exclaimed and quickly took my necessities before taking a bath. My bath that was supposed to take 10-15 minutes only took 5 minutes."Oh, sweetie, why are you in such a hurry?" Mom asked in surprise while carrying a basket full of laundry."I'm gonna be late for school, mom. I didn't wake up early!""Oh my god," she uttered. "Wait, let me help you!" Mom immediately put down the basket and took my things from the room and arranged them. She also kept asking me if I was okay."I'm good now, mom. I'll have to go! Bye!" I grabbed my bag and kissed mom on the cheek before rushing out.For God's sake, my class is a

"Mom, I'm home," I shouted as soon as my feet touched the floor of our house. Mom immediately came out of the room and greeted me. The tiredness and weakness on her face is obvious, I think it's because she has done a lot of laundry today. "How's work?" She asked me worriedly. "I'm sure you're very tired." "I can do it, mom. Just a little push, we can pay our bills and debt again," I said, referring to my salary that was about to be given. Mom solemnly looked at me. Worry and pity was evident in her eyes and it was painful to look at that so I just looked away. "Have you eaten, mom? Where are my siblings?" I asked, changing the subject. I can't bear to see my mother in pain. I don't want to cry in front of her. "T-they just finished, dear. There's still a dish left over there for you." Mom assisted me in the kitchen and served me food. A bowl of rice and sardines. "How about you, mom? Have you eaten yet?" She just smiled, a sad smile. "Don't worry about me, sweetie
