The death of Aina Claire Lamante has been long forgotten, but when her first death anniversary was imminent, the grade ten students received a light blue envelope that jogged their memories of the past.
When the truth is being fabricated, how can yo...
"An 18-year-old student at South Basin University died early Wednesday morning after allegedly jumping from the roof top of their school building."
'Ah, is it time already?' I thought as I watched the news. It's Wednesday evening at kasalukuyan akong nag-aayos ng mga kakailanganin ko bukas ng umaga. Pinagmasdan ko ang iba't ibang dokumento at larawan na nagkalat sa lamesita sa gitna ng sala.
The time that I have been waiting for is finally here. My heart burned with so much longing for justice.
Just wait, I'll make them pay.

MAISIE
Thursday, 7:00
It is early morning and my younger sister, Aubrey, is already irritated to me because I keep yawning beside her. I mean, what can I do? I'm tired and sleepy. "One more yawn and I will kick you out of your chair!" Aubrey whisper-shout.
Oh no! She completely lost it!
"So rude!" I said with an annoyed look. Sunod-sunod akong sumubo ng isang punong kutsarang kanin at scrambled egg pagkatapos ay uminom na ng isang basong gatas, pagkatapos kumain ay umakyat na ako kaagad pabalik sa aking kwarto nang makapag handa na sa pag pasok sa school.
I put on my uniform, a white long sleeve blouse with a blue ribbon and a blue and white checkered pencil cut skirt. Pag-katapos ay umupo ako sa harap ng aking vanity table to freshen up my face.
Walang nakasulat sa school rules na bawal mag-suot ng makeup sa school, pero wala din silang sinabi na pwede. Nevertheless, halos lahat pa rin ng female students ay may mga kolorete sa mukha, at isa na ako ro'n.
I put a light red lipstick on my soft and plump lips after I combed my straight and sleek shoulder-length hair.
I didn't violate any rules, so I just kept doing what I wanted. If the school has rules, I should have one too. Speaking of school, I always had so many unanswered questions in my head and one of those was-
Why do I have to go to school?
My whole life, all I did was study, study, study. Pero wala naman akong napapala. I have always been on the Top of my class pero ni minsan hindi ko man lang na-feel na mayroong tao na proud sakin.
I've been doing my best that far exceeds my limits. I've been trying so hard, but in the end, it still seemed useless because it always felt like I would never win their attention, I would never win their praise, it always felt like a worthless struggle.
