I wasn't mistaken. I knew what I saw. Mrs. Inclement gave something to my mother. I didn't know why, but I had a sinking feeling.

And I didn't like that feeling. I hoped I was wrong.

I floated into the classroom the next day. I still couldn't shake off what I had witnessed yesterday. It lingered in my mind, refusing to fade away.

"Holly," Maddie called out. I looked at her.

"Are you alright?" she asked with concern.

I nodded and forced a smile. "Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

Why would Mrs. Inclement even give it to her? They look like they could be starring in a soap opera with all that drama. That old lady's glare could turn milk sour. Aside from that, there are the "terms and conditions".

I shook my head. Sa susunod ko na lang 'to iisipin. I need to think of what gift I can give Blaze for his birthday. Ilang araw na lang kasi. Kiss na lang kaya? Charot. Unless...?

What are his interests anyway? Soccer? Dancing? Whenever I ask him what he likes, he never gives a straight answer. Ako daw yung gusto niya. What? Should I just gift-wrap myself?

Mukha namang nakukuha niya kung ano mang hihilingin niya. He is rich so...

Oh god! Ganito ba kahirap mag-isip lang ng ireregalo?

Kahit nga gabi na, hindi pa rin ako nawawala sa usaping regalo. I've looked up what the internet has to say. And they are just giving me classic gift ideas. Gusto ko ng unique.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko para magchat sa GC namin. Itatanong ko lang sana sa kanila kung anong magandang pang-regalo.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko when I saw Maddie's name sa GC namin. She's asking why she's even there.

Lizzie:
We're friends na, di ba?

Gabe:
Gago kaba Liz?

Lizzie:

Maddie:

Gabe:

Ang bastos

Keirah:
Hi!

Even Keirah is here? Lizzie sure makes friends fast with them. Parang kailan lang ah.

Blaze:
Hi?

Imagine the audible gasp I made as soon as I saw his name pop up. Pati siya andito?

Me:
Anong ginagawa mo dito?

Blaze:
Bawal ba?

Fred:
Inadd mo rin si Katherine dito @Lizzie???

Lizzie:
Yes why

Gabe:
Seener pa rin pala talaga ang birhen

Katherine:
Hi.

Ewan ko ha pero bakit parang kinilig ako sa 'hi' niya.

Lizzie:
Hi!!!

Mary:
Hello!!

Me:
Hi!

Gabe:
Tangina niyo mga bakla
Kapag maganda, hi agad?
Hi Katherine

Katherine:

Maddie:
Don't say hi to him

Keirah:
Selos ka Mads?
