Kabanata 10
I remain calm and composed, bawal ako makitang umiyak kasi bakit nga ba ako umiiyak?
We went back to the stadium, and thankfully Cymon never failed to make me laugh again. Anlakas ng trip n'ya. The whole night was filled with happiness, except my feelings na nagsusuffer tonight. Ang last naming tinugtog is the OG Ang Huling El Bimbo ng Eraserheads, grabe feeling ko bukod sa Lupang Hinirang, this is the second most memorize lyrics ko.
I'm smiling outside but suffering inside, and he waves at me when our eyes met in sudden awe. I wrinkled my nose so that the awkwardness will be gone in my perspective.
They are crowned as the best attires and surprising entrance, O, wow best nga e.
I sleep over to Athena's place, paalam ko 'yon kay Lola kasi alam ko gagabihin na kami.
Lola we're done na! Nandito na po ako sa kanila Athena. Eat your medicines po, Goodnight Love you!

I notified Lola para hindi siya mag-alala. We remove our makeup and wear a Korean face mask. Hindi na to first time so hindi na ako naninibago welcome na ako lagi sa bahay nila.
"Ang sweet nila kanina 'no?" Athena started when she's fixing here vanity table. "Uh, oo nga e" I manage to sound agreeable, "Wow tunog bitter tayo dyan ha?" pang-aasar nito sa akin. I rolled my eyes at her, and then she suddenly burst out laugh everywhere.
Nothing much happens, we talked about our plans in college. "Stell! I want to be a teacher, no, not a teacher, a professor, to be exact. What you think?", " Oo bagay mo malakas 'yong aura mo e..." I honestly stated, "Para kang mangangaing prof." then her smile faded, and her face turned to a hawk-looking eye and feels. Tinawanan ko lang siya.
I hope we both get what we want and be happy to whom we may meet along our way in the future. Ako I never really think of one man in my future, crush ko si River, oo, pero kasi hindi ko naman alam if magiging kami ba o magiging ganto pa rin ba kami kaclose in the future. Of course, all of us will have a family eventually, and we can't keep that relationship, para naman tanga ako lang umaasa ganon?
"Ako gusto maging doctor, I'll help you cure your craziness" I laugh until I lost my breath, Athena's very pissed.
"But then you will always be in my dreams, Athena! You're my best friend e, we may part ways, but then we will always have those things we can pick up when we see each other diba?" I smile at her, her angry eyes turned into a pool of water, iyakin talaga 'tong babaeng 'to mahina.
"Para kang tanga alam mo 'yon?" she wiped her tears and laughing, sabi ko na e magdodoktor talaga ako para sa kanya.
I know how she carefully open topics, ayaw niya buksan yung topic ni River and I thank her for that, hindi pa ako ready kasi di ko rin naman alam bakit nga ba ako nagkakaganito? What for? I never even tried to confess. Tsaka ganito na lang lagi yung kwento ng mga tao, magkaibigan tas yung isa maiinlove tas mawawala na lahat kasi di naman ganon lahat.
Maybe someday I will bravely tell them what is my feelings when it really fades. We only talked about many things that involve our dreams, achievements, places to travel, and dream house. Andami talaga kaya sobrang memorable ng gabi na 'to.
I cover my ears with a pillow when a long and loud shout of Athena opens all of the gates of my consciousness. Ang aga-aga, wala namang pasok.
"Avery!" she forcefully moves all of my body, "Omg, wake up, please..." she continues to shake my spirit. Nakakainis naman, "Ano ba 'yon?" I growled when I stand up in the bed.
She showed me the Ipad. Omg, I really opened my eyes bigger than I really should. We're trending. What the fuck! Omg!
Nag-aya ang gaga sa mall, so we were kind of getting ready for our sudden visit. Honestly, it was very unexpected to learn that we are trending at some point. Dito na ba magstastart ang career namin?
Athena is wearing a simple cardigan along with her sando and comfy pants. While me I'm wearing a maong skirt and yellow plain shirt.
Arriving at the station, we first enter the Watson to buy skincare necessities, next is the food court of course.
Nakasalubong namin sila Ria at Cymon sa arcade kung saan din kami papunta. Tinatawanan lang namin yung pagiging trending namin hindi naman kami magiging artista sa ganon, we may have the spotlight but only for a couple of days, and surely we will fade away.
Like other things, it will surely fade everything na meron ako ngayon.
