ALWAYS YOU ✔️

ALWAYS BEEN YOU

Hello everyone, thank you for completing our 5TH INSTALLMENT of our GOOD GUY SERIES! I want to also thank everyone who loved the story of Christian Baddel and Margauxx Rivera Rocero. You might be wondering why the story ended this way.

This story symbolizes me expressing my thoughts when I was in so much pain due to the man that I fell in love with in high school. I had a real realization that after so many years, maybe I have moved on but I didn't want to let go because of the memories I had when I was in love with this person

And so I wanted to share this type of story to also challenge myself as an author. I hope you guys thoroughly enjoyed their story. This story is all about realization, moving on, healing, and just moving forward by yourself.

I will see you guys in FORBIDDEN which is our 6TH INSTALLMENT of this series. It will feature Brent Zeron Manuel's story (THE 3RD MANUEL BROTHER) I cannot wait for this story.

Once again, thank you.

EPILOGUE: ALWAYS BEEN YOU

" what could've been, would've been,
what should've been you. "
- Taylor Swift (Bigger Than The Whole Sky)

"Delusyonal lang ang dating na'tin, kuya?"

She exclaimed and slapped the male senior student's hand from his arm.

Everything was already intense inside the room due to the student's words that he was being overconfident in saying that he wanted to become a starting player on the volleyball team in NEO.

It was embarrassing, he didn't know what to tell her at all.

He was asked what his goal was and he was honest.

But the woman next to her did not hesitate to defend him.

"Anong sabi mo?" the senior student asked who seems to be in shock by the reaction of the woman next to the guy he made fun of.

"Tinanong mo siya, sinagot niya, anong problema do'n? Tinawag mo siyang delusyonal tapos may joke joke ka pang nalalaman na mayabang siya? 'Kala ko ba respeto respeto tayo dito? Asan yung respeto niyo?"

The senior student couldn't say anything.

Everyone was staring at him and everyone also knew that she was right, that he was wrong for what he had told the poor freshman student who only answered his question.

"Binibiro ko lang, ang arte mo."

"Alam mo ba kung sino ang 'di maarte? Yung professor sa labas, I'll tell her about what you told him and us. I heard that she's also close to the principal." she added with a blank expression.

It is not easy for a student younger than another student to stand up against them, he wasn't also the kind of person to stand up for himself.

He was the kind of man who despite his tall height and lean body, he was not talkative and he didn't have that many friends either. He had one or two during his senior year but that was it.

That was the kind of man Zayn Angelo Lozano was.

The next time he'd met the girl that stood up for him was at the university cafeteria, he's been thinking about thanking her for what she'd done for him at that time but at the same time he didn't know what to say after that.
