Artemis

" another pink tulips again." max said because the moment we got into the room the pink tulips was already place in my desk.

" it's been almost 2 weeks, maxie." I said and I know whose the one giving this. She starting giving me tulips since the pre-finals started with a letter of apology and her A.Y initial.

" so anong balak mo, frenny?" max asked me and I just shrugged my shoulder as I look the tulips.

" i don't know. If she will tell me the truth maybe I would forgive her, if it's valid." I said then max just nodded.

She asked for my forgiveness by giving me my favorite flowers and a letter on it. If she will just tell the truth about what the reason to all this chaos we have.

" good morning everyone, so the pre-finals week is officially done. I hope you guys give your all best for answering the test because we all knew that you guys are the one making your grades. Are we clear?" miss stated and we all agreed to it.

" okay, since I know that you guys is tired or probably drained for the exam week. There would be no class for today. Class dismissed. " miss said and we all cheered by the announcement.

-

" bestie, kanina pa yang phone mo. Sagutin mo kaya?" Gail asked me cause its the 5th time my phone is ringing.

" hmm hmm nga. " max said will her mouth is full of food at she's eating.

" tanga kumain kanalang Jan." Gail said as she slap max arm, max on the other hand just rolled her eyes as she continue eating.

We continue eating while we're deciding where to go since we don't have class for today. I thought earlier that is was just our section who don't have class but the school drop a memo, so all the students has no class to day.

" eh kung mag movie marathon nalang tayo?" max asked.

" ay want ko yan. G ako, ikaw? Gail asked me as she pointing me.

" hmmm, okay g. " I said and the both of them felt happy to it. As we continue our business, my phone suddenly vibrate.

" baby, can i talk to you na?" miss astra texted me. I look at it for a sec before replying.

" talk to you then you're not going to tell me the truth. So what's the point to let you talk to me?" I replied. These past few days I find myself feeling guilty to what I said to her on that day in the hospital and whenever she tries to talk to me here but all I did was ignoring her.

" because that's the truth, baby. That was not me. " she texted back.

" if its not you then who is it?" I asked after a minute she hasn't replied yet, so I decided to text her again.

" see you can't answer it even in the text." I texted and wait for her reply.

" okay I will tell you the truth na. "  she replied and I immediately agreed to her and tell her where are we going to meet.

-

I'm on my way to the CEA building rooftop and she's already there waiting for me. As soon as I arrived I saw her standing looking at the people below.

" tell me the truth, miss astra." I said then she faced me. I notice that her eyes is swollen and she looks tired.

" baby..."

" tell me now." I said while coldly gazing at her.

" baby I missed you a lot." she said then she run near me and hug me tightly. As soon as she hug me, my tears fell cause I really missed her hugs so much. She hug me for almost 10 minutes and that's the time that I force her arms to get off my body.

" Don't change the topic here, miss." I said as I wipe my tears.

" baby..."

" miss can you stop this nonsense now. Just tell me the truth already." I said and I'm getting pissed already. I waited for her to speak up but it was almost 30 minutes.

" okay I'm done here . It's clearly that you still doesn't want to tell the truth." I said as I fixed my hair. I step back still looking at her.

" I'm  officially ending the  connection that we have, miss." I said then turn around as I walk to the door. Before I could continue my step, she spoke that made me faced her again.

" It was my twin sister, serenity." miss astra stated as she look at me directly in the eyes.

" w-what? Twin sister? " I asked confusingly.

" yes, my twin sister that whom you admired since you where six years old." miss astra said and I can see that she's pissed and her hands turn into fists.

" w-what do y-you mean I admired since I was I little? " I asked totally confused.

" We met each other first when you're six years old, we bond  together, you treat me as a sister. But that things changed when you met my twin. Whenever we're together you always find her and you said that you admired her and you even asked me If you can marry my twin then both of you promised. I get it that you're still young that time but I can't help to feel jealous towards it. " Miss astra stated it as she coldly look at me.

" but miss that was a long time ago. I was young that time. " I said worriedly at her. She just shook her head.

" I don't want you to know that It was my twin because I am scared that you will remembered what you said before." miss said.

" but miss I... " I can't continue my words cause I am still processing everything.

" I still hate the fact that you told her that your family will flew to another country, you could have told me, but why to my twin huh. " she said as her eyes watered.

" you know why I'm acting like this, because my twin saw you and she said that she will going to fulfill that promised you guys have made. " she said and all I just do was standing in front of her.

" I will not let other people win you, serenity. I was the one first, I promised to myself that I will do everything to make you mine if I saw you again. " miss astra said as she approached me and hug me tightly. I can't help myself but to hug her back. I still can't believe the reasons to why she can't tell the truth.

" you're mine. I will fight if someone wants you even if that someone... "

" is my twin sister." Miss astra whisper on my ears. I just closed my eyes feeling her warm hugs and I just felt something soft landed on my forehead, she kissed me.
