"I-stalk ang buhay ni girl best friend kasama ang crush niya para makapagsulat ng isang love story? Game!"
As a frustrated aspiring writer who just joined a writing contest in their school, Cora thought of the most brilliant wa...

CORA
WALA akong ibang magawa kundi umiyak lang nang umiyak habang nakahiga sa kama ng apartment room ko. My tears just canʼt stop from falling out of the utter pain Iʼm feeling in my heart. Pakiramdam ko, may mabigat na nakadagan sa dibdib ko.
Why does fate have to be this cruel? Bakit sa lahat ng masasamang taong pwedeng bigyan ng ganitong kapalaran, ako pa talaga ang napagdiskitahan?
Ito na ba 'yong karma ko? Para sa pagiging masamang kaibigan? Sa pagiging masamang anak? Masamang tao?
Kumuha ako ng unan at inilubog dito ang mukha ko. Kahit anong pilit ko, hindi matigil ang pagtulo ng aking mga luha.
"I love you, Cora..."
Mason's words kept running through my head, over and over again.
Mason Smith. The only guy that made my heartbeat ran fast. The only guy that I would want to spend a home with. The only guy that I truly loved.
I'd be lying if I said that I don't love him anymore. I thought I was finally over him after all these years. But turns out, my heart still flutters for him. It will always flutter for him.
Mas lalo akong napaiyak. Kung kailan nandito na siya at handa na akong makasama sa buong buhay ko, doon pa talaga nakiepal ang tadhana.
"Miss Olvidar, you have stage one familial leukemia. Hindi mo ba alam? Hindi ka ba nagpapa-check sa doktor mo? We saw your father's blood at wala kaming nakitang traces ng cancer cells doʼn. Maybe it came from your mother's genes."
I remembered what the doctor said to me when I was in the hospital. I felt my whole world crumble down when he said that I was sick, and it could take away my life in an instant.
Mapait akong natawa.
This is it...
This is how my story will end.
"Cora! Nand'yan ka ba?! Open the door, Cora!" In a snap, three loud knocks hit my apartment roomʼs door along with the worried voices of my friends.
Napatingin ako sa pintuan ng kwarto ko. I could hear Pennyʼs voice from outside, frantically calling my name. Naririnig ko rin ang mga boses nina Remi at Jago.
"Leave me alone!" I didn't know what to say so I just shouted, ending up sobbing in the process. "Please..."
Ayokong makita nila akong ganito. I don't want them to see me at my most vulnerable state. Ayokong kaawaan nila ako.
Despite my plea, they didnʼt stop. Pilit pa rin nilang binubuksan ang pinto. I can hear the doorknob being forced to open.
"Cora! We're here. Nandito kami para sa 'yo. Please, letʼs talk!" paulit-ulit na pakiusap ni Penny. Maybe they already know about my impending end.
