Being gay is a kind of mistake from the point of view of people who are very conservative when it comes to this topic. They really despise the whole community as if we carry an illness that can affect them. It makes me wonder why they really need to hate our community when the only thing we want is to be accepted and to be treated fairly. 

From the past months, Janna was overpowering me and it exhausts me already. Nung una, wala na akong pake sa kaniya. But then, she took a video of myself when I was reciting and being asked about my gender identity which became another source of fear for me.

But then, maybe a blessing in disguise because Janna was already transferred to section B since she has a friend there. That means, I'm finally living with peace. Hindi na rin ako nito ginugulo kaya may parte sa akin na kumalma na.

This week was our hell week, binagsakan kami ng samu't saring gawain na kailangan ding mapasa dahil next week na ang release ng grades nin for this semester. Hindi na rin kami nagkakasama ni Zane dahil bukod sa busy ito sa responsibilidad niya sa SSC at schoolworks, lagi rin silang lumalabas ni Patricia.

Hindi naman sa galit ako..

But there's a part of me that feels sad because of how he is already distant from me the past weeks. In fact, it's almost a month already since we came home together. Though I don't really need to get mad at him, nagtatampo lang, slight.

Zane Antiforda

Miss u :(

Labas ka!!

I was shocked by Zane's message at agad naman akong napasilip sa bintana para makita ito. I saw him sitting on his bike. Agad naman akong bumaba para puntahan ito.

"Bakit andito ka, hellweek ah? Hahahaha!" Sambit ko rito.

He hugged me tightly, "Miss you! Dapat pala hindi na ako sumali sa SSC. Napapagod na agad ako, drained social battery ko eh."

"Ginusto mo 'yan eh.. Hahahaha! By the way, napapansin ko lang, magkasama kayo lagi ni Patricia, ah?" I tried to intrigue him.

He smiled at me, "kulit nga eh. Umamin 'yon, gusto raw ako." 

I felt a pang in my chest after hearing that. I don't know what was the reason but I let it slide already.

"Oh, nililigawan mo?" Tanong ko rito na agad naman nitong itinanggi.

"No! I'm still… learning? I don't know, Keith. Hindi ko pa rin alam. Nahihiya nga ako eh, nabanggit niya na ro'n sa kaibigan niya, yung galing sa inyo?"

Si Janna. 

"Si Martin. Nakakainis nga, lakas ng bunganga non. Lagi pang si sulsol kapag magkasama kami. Natatakot tuloy ako baka mag-assume na lalo si Pat." He said.

We just talked for a while and he brought me some cookies baked by him and Ate Xab. Nabanggit ko rin dito na dadalaw na lang ako sa kanila kapag maluwag na ulit ang schedule ko at hindi na ako ngarag sa mga ginagawa namin.

After an hour of kumustahan, Zane decided to go home since it's already late at madilim na sa pagbibisikletahan nito. I asked him if we'll go to school together but he apologized since he can't make it because Patricia will be waiting for him tomorrow since they were assigned to make an org stuff together, but he promised me that na sasabayan ako nito bukas.

Since I was assigned to be the section leader for our final presentation tomorrow, I just reminded them to bring the materials we need for the simulation of volcanic eruption that is our final output for earth and life science tomorrow. After this presentation, we'll finally be having our time to review for our final exams in other subjects.
