He didn't text back Veya, now Veya is overthinking if he is interested or not, she's in her morning online class: Filipino with sir Anciano, she could focus on the passage, her Teacher called her name and asked her a question. she answered a question so deep that even her teacher was surprised how deep the answer was and gotten curious if it was still bout their topic. She knew she had to make a move again, even though she felt like it was wrong, she had to. 

* she picks up her phone* 

Instagram DM:

@VeyaClaire_:So yeah I am part of the profiling team at Daily Grent Newspaper, Can I Interview you for our student-athlete page? it's not gonna take a very long time promise.

@VeyaClaire_: yey! thank youuuuuuuu! It means a lot! 

@Cairo_DLS: your welcome po  

@VeyaClaire_: you said "po" again :( 

@Cairo_DLS: ow Wait Ate Veya, sorry my bad 

@VeyaClaire_: jeez, What if I block this human being? 

@Cairo_DLS: HAHAHAHA Joke, don't. 

@Cairo_DLS: should I call you ate? are you my ate?

@VeyaClaire_: No, Wait was just like 2 years away, why ate? I mean, come on, I'm not 22 or something. do you want me to call you Kuya?? HAHAHAHA

@Cairo_DLS: "Hoy" what about that? 

@VeyaClaire_: What about "Hi:)" 

@Cairo_DLS: Hi:) 

@VeyaClaire_: Hi:) 

@Cairo_DLS: you might be busy? I'm disturbing you ba? 

@VeyaClaire_:No, I'm done with my works, I did it so that It won't be clattered, Responsibilities HAHAHAHA 

@Cairo_DLS: I'm done too,. It's good that you finished everything and they are all nice to look at, I'm responsible I'm smart but like my works aren't good quality... and sometimes I hate myself.  

@VeyaClaire_: Hey don't say that to yourself, you're hurting yourself for no reason. do you want to talk about it? 

@Cairo_DLS: I don't Know...

@VeyaClaire_: Well, I have been in your place already. I mean I've been there. But I'm not an expert in advice but I can help you... 

@VeyaClaire_:Sometimes we lose interest in the things we love to do and sometimes we don't have the strength and motivation to do stuff that is being asked, and what sucks is that we want to make it nice and great, but it seems like we don't want to. (I hope you get it) we get burned out, but it's not right to blame ourselves for something that would hurt us. But not just rise above it, but accept it and care about what you can bring for what comes ahead. 

@Cairo_DLS: you explained it well, AHAHHAAH aww thank you for your comfort I feel better, thank you po!

@VeyaClaire_:I will agree that you can call me "ate' but just don't say po!! 

@Cairo_DLS: But I don't want you to be my ate... 

@VeyaClaire_:Then don't :) 

@Cairo_DLS: Yay! 

@Cairo_DLS: Okay Imma play CoD! Byeeeee 

@VeyaClaire_: I knew it HAHAHAHAHA 

@Cairo_DLS: Of course :)

@VeyaClaire_:AHAHAHAHAH 

Veya feels like she wants to throw up, she is blushing at the fact this guy replied and they had a great conversation, but she feels like she is showing she likes him. She keeps making the first move, she felt like if she doesn't chat with him and he doesn't make a move on her, it's clear he is not interested. But why did he say she's pretty, there were unclear signs. another big problem that came into her mind he's grade 8. she felt it was weird for others, but it wasn't for her. After a heartbreak last year 2 years ago she felt like she's scared to fall for someone who'd leave her in the end with no explanation.  she has lost people she loved in the month of November, and it was always November. she hates November. Now she's struggling if she could continue talking to him and perform the art of not falling in, or just never make a move and just for him to chat, and make the first move.  which she thinks he won't do because he is uninterested. Will he leave me on read? Will it last until November and leave just like the people I loved?

thoughts are running around her head, that was so easy to see through the camera that her teacher asked what was she thinking about, and it seemed very important and it's driving her away from focus. she never answered but just placed a smile on her face. Ignored the question, and just continued her classes. 

FlashBack-November 10, 2020

*Online Class* 

Hi, po! good afternoon Ms. Dela Moro!!!

"Alright guys, make sure to answer pages 34 -35 of your Science book and we will check them the day after tomorrow" all alright Peptide bonds, Mr. Belarmino please read- 

* Ringgggggggggggggg* (Messenger call) 

* she picks up her phone* 

"Hello? Kuya? what's wrong I'm in class pa" ..... she answers. 

"Mamita Beth is rushed to the hospital" (crying) 

(she suddenly falls into shock and freezes) 

"Ms. Morales? please read the next one?" Ms. Morales?? Ms. Morales?" 

"Veyanna, I'm going to your mama Beth, stay here okay?" her mom said (sobbing) please help me ready my stuff. 

"Ms. Morales?, Are you okay? Why are you answering your calls in class?" 

"Yanna? what happened?" Lola asked. Her tears start to pour like she couldn't stop tearing up. she leaves class, with no permission helps her mom with her stuff... she was devastated to see her mom crying. she starts to tear up too. she received calls from her cousins updating them about the health of her mom's sister, her aunt. they were clueless, they didn't know what to do. 

" Yanna! please get me Ecobag from Ikea, I need it. also, get me a pillow" her mom asks her. 

her mom left the house to Veya, she was left there shocked feeling like she's a soul floating. Like she had no life. she received calls from their family friends, calls from her church, and her friends. she was crying, wondering what was happening. she had no clue what was happening to 

* ringggggg * 

*She picks up the phone*

"Veya?" 

*she didn't answer* 

"Veya, she didn't make it..." 

Her world stopped turning. it's like a whole continent sunk under the sea just like the myth of Atlantis. Like it's hard to believe she's gone, it's nowhere to be seen myths that some people may believe in and some may not. 

"Why People I love leave-on November? what's with November?"
