"So, spill the tea, Hannah," Merida said, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "How's your love life been lately?"

I laughed.

"Oh, you know, same old, same old. Nothing too exciting."

"Tell me what happened?"

"Well, nothing much."

"What do you mean nothing? He didn't confess?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Nope... maybe you're just being delusional."

"We? Send pics." I sent her the pictures of us and the place, especially the food.

"Is this really how friends hang out? Looks more like a date to me." I grinned.

"Merida, don't be like that... my heart might get weak." She burst into laughter.

"Love, look what it's done to you, you're becoming cheesy!"

We're currently on FaceTime. Since we're both free and I told her about my outing with Blade, she hasn't stopped asking for gossip.

"Pero alam mo? I'm just so happy na natupad yung mga gusto kong mangyari noon."

"Nahanap mo na ba iyong diary mo?"

"Hindi na ako nag-aksaya ng oras dahil aso ang kumuha. I'm sure sira na iyon."

"Pero paano pag may nakapulot na iba? Anong gagawin mo?" Natahimik ako.

"I hope not..." dahil it's not an ordinary diary. Punong-puno iyon ng mga masasakit na alaala, and it also has my secret. Pag nalaman ng iba, hindi lang pwedeng ikasira ng pagkatao ko kundi pati na rin ng pamilya ko.

"Anyways.." me trying so hard to change out topic. "Sino nga pala iyong dumating, last time?"

"What do you mean?"

"Last time, Nung nag facetime tayo?" She turned pale.

"Ah, Hannah.. tumatawag manager ko. Will call you again once I'm free."

"Merida wait—" but she ended the call.

What the heck is happening? Whats with her expression? May problem ba?

Blade:
Nasa school na ako.

Ang bilis ng panahon at enrollment na agad, hindi ako makapaniwala na 4th year student na ako at graduating na, mula sa 8 na subjects, naging 4 na lang at halos lahat ay major subject pa. Tuwang-tuwa rin ako dahil wala nang night class.

Kasama ko si Blade mag-enroll at ang Baliw Niyabang naman sa akin na nasa Section A parin daw siya.

"Magkaklase ulit tayo?"

"Ganun talaga pag gifted."

"Hay nako, Blade! Patingin nga ng COR mo!" Totoo nga, magkaklase ulit kami.

Buti naman.

"Saan mo gusto pumunta?" Kakatapos lang naming mag-enroll. Bago pa ako makasagot, tumunog ang cellphone niya.

"What?" Agad niyang binaba ang cellphone.

"What happened?"

"Si Lucky." Agad akong sumunod sa kanya at sumakay sa kotse niya. Anong nangyari sa makulit na batang iyon? Hindi ako nagsalita dahil ramdam ko ang kaba ni Blade nang makababa kami sa ospital. Ang nagawa ko na lamang ay hawakan ang kamay niya.

Nasa VIP room si Lucky at napapalibutan ng MIB.

"Where's Dad?" Tanong ni Blade sa mukhang secretary ata ng Dad niya.
