Those stares of disapproval again. It made me nervous. How the hell did she come up with that ?

" Hey Tiana, why do you keep saying things like this ? You're going crazy. "

I pulled the blanket and move away a little bit. Seryoso ako sa sinasabi ko. Nakakatakot ang ikinikilos ni Tiana ngayon.

" Am I ? We should be more worried about you. Here you are accusing me of being a creep but in a deeper sense, you're creepier. "

" about what ? Your jokes arent even funny. What makes you think that anyway ? How did you come up with that huh ? Stop with your psychological analysis Valente. I might think you're the one who has something wrong with you. "

Our three other friends here are silently watching our argument. Not knowing who to believe. I cant slip on this. Otherwise they will start suspecting.

" Hoy ano ba kayong dalawa ? Parehas kayong baliw. "

Bridgette cut it off for our sake and thank goodness Tiana withdraws herself. This cant go on further because it can escalate into something real quick.

Thank goodness Valente dropped it down and gets in her bed too. Nagkibit balikat muna siya bago tuluyang nahiga.

" I really wonder. What made you this way River ? "

Her last words echoed in my ear as the lights were turned off and silence crept within. Everyone goes to sleep after that. I remained awake for about half an hour after they went to sleep. I dont know, I'm just thinking about Tiana's words. The way she comes up with those observations are on point. Too close for comfort. It was like she is close on uncovering the secrets of my identity. Right now, it got me wondering. How long will I able to hold all the secrets ?

The next morning, all of us join Mr. Hugo Valente at breakfast. I have to say the type of livelihood inside the Valentes are lavish but the household incorporates discipline and obedience. Imagine Alvior showing up in breakfast at 6:30 am. Eh sa kulit ng taong ito hindi ako maniniwala na gumigising siya ng ganitong oras para mag almusal na parang tunay na matinong tao. I mean come on, this is the realest thing I could ever said about Alvior. I'm sure everyone will agree. This Valente kid is your typical annoying kid in family gatherings.

But here he is joining their grandpa for breakfast. The head of the family of course. Kung mayroon ngang pumuputol ng sungay ni Alvior its none other than their grandpa.

All three of them is having breakfast together everyday before their grandpa will leave. Sweet moments. Very family-oriented.

" Tiana hija, do you plan of staying here ? "

Mr. Hugo Valente is having a daily talk with his grandkids and the rest of us are comfortable enough listening to them.

" No. I will leave for district 11. Arent you too granpi ? I'll spend the summer with fam. Actually I was planning to invite them for maybe two or three nights, I guess. Just some tour and camping. "

" that would be great hija. We will be glad to welcome you there girls. Visit us anytime. "

" Yes, that will be fun. I will brought my friends with me too granpi. We can use Valorant Bliss right granpi ? "

" No. Hindi ko pa nakakalimutan ang kalokohang ginawa mo. Now that I think about it, bumalik ka na doon George at ayusin mo na ang lahat. Finish it all today before I can change my mind. Wag mo na akong hintayin doon George. Kapag ako ang umayos niyan hindi ka na talaga makakaulit. "
