SCHOOL RIVALS

Gradually, things are starting to return to how they used to be, and they are hopeful that it will last forever. Almost everything will fall back into place. Just have hope.

...

After the family bonding time, each family member went their separate ways. Irene and Greggy respected Fiona's decision and didn't insist on her joining them in Forbes. Fiona preferred to have some alone time in San Juan first.

It was Monday morning, and Fiona had finished getting ready for the final campaign. She skipped breakfast and headed straight to the car.

Upon arriving at the school, Fiona was greeted by a group of students. Her popularity had increased due to the ongoing election.

After a brief van ride, Fiona stepped out of the vehicle at the school.

"Ay shala, fresh na fresh ang pambato natin, teh." A student said.

"Fiona! Teh! Papicture kami!" exclaimed a student.

Fiona approached them and surrounded her with a swarm of cameras.

"Thank you, thank you!" Fiona exclaimed with a genuine smile.

Denise yelled as she reached her, "Nang! Pigilan mo 'ko! Pigilan mo 'ko!" Naguguluhan namang nakatingin sakanya si Fiona.

"Oy, nangyari? Bakit ka namumula? kinikilig ka ba?" Fiona asked.

Denise shook her head and pulled her hand and both went to the crowded area.

"Kawawa naman si Fiona. Ang daming nasayang na poster. Sino kaya may gawa niyan?" A student murmured while covering her mouth.

Fiona quickly pushed aside the people in the middle as soon as she heard what her fellow student said.

There, she saw her countless posters that had been torn apart and scribbled on while spread out on the pavement.

"What on earth happened?" Fiona whispered, her fist clenched and her eyes shut in frustration. Denise tapped her on the shoulder.

"W-who did this?" Fiona asked Denise, her mouth and hands trembling.

She glanced around and focused her attention on her sister, who had a smirk on her face and crossed her arms.

"Damn you, Celeste," Fiona muttered. Then she turned to look at the students.

"It's okay guys, alam niyo naman ang mga kalaban, mahilig talaga manira." She said, louder as she took a glance to Clara.

Clara raised an eyebrow when she heard what Fiona said. She confronted her and stood in front of her.

"How dare you..." Clara said as she grabbed her twin's hand. Fiona pulled her hand away from Clara's grasp.

"How dare you sabotage my campaign. Don't tell me ganyan ka matakot?" Fiona exclaimed, raising her voice so that everyone watching could hear.

"Whoa, Fiona, I'm so scared of you," Clara sarcastically remarked.

Fiona let out a sigh. "You should be. Actions speak louder than words, after all." She chuckled, and the students who were watching laughed along.
