Jhoanna POV
Akala ko malalate nanaman ako sa school today. Nagmamadali ako papunta sa room namin when somebody bumped into me.
My glasses and all the books and papers I was carrying fell.
" Watch where you're going, naka salamin ka na nga bulag ka pa! " I heard familiar voice.
" S-sorry " I replied as I was picking up my stuff.
Right before I was able to grab my glasses the girl stepped on it and I heard it break.
" Loser! " She said as she walked away.
I picked up my glasses and saw that the left lens was broken. I put it on as I tried to hold back a tear knowing that getting new glasses is expensive and would add to mom's burden.
I looked up to see who it had stepped on my glasses and I wasn't surprised when I saw Stacey walking away.
She had been bullying me the past few years. May mga araw na natatakot ako pumasok because of all the mean things she says and does to me.

Stacey POV
We were sitting in the classroom when Jhoanna walked in with broken glasses and messy hair.
" Oh my God Jho, what happened? " Aiah approached her to help her with her stuff and fixed her hair.
" Staks sobra naman ata ginawa mo kay Jho " Maloi whispered.
" Paawa lang yan, sinuot pa talaga yang basag na salamin " I rolled my eyes and dismissed Maloi's complaint.
" Who did this to you Jho? " Aiah asked Jho.
" Wala, nadapa lang ako sa hallway " Jho answered.
" Siguraduhin mo Jho, if malaman ko may gumawa sayo nyan, lagot siya sakin " Aiah answered as she looked at me, implying that she's mad.
" As if kaya niya ko " I whispered to Jho.

Jhoanna POV
I walked home with a heavy heart as I was consumed by the guilt na gagastos pa si mama sa pagpapagawa ng bagong salamin para sakin.
" Jho anak, anong nangyari sayo? " Mama looked concerned as she saw me enter the house.
" Ma sorry, nadapa kasi ako, nabasag yung salamin ko ma, mapapagastos ka pa tuloy " My voice broke as I answered mama's question.
" Nak nasaktan ka ba? " She asked.
" Okay lang po ako ma " I answered as I wiped a tear.
" Nak okay lang naman yun gastos, wag ka labg masasaktan " She assured me.
" Ma " I said with a soft voice before breaking down.
Niyakap ako ni mama as I fell to the dook. She gave me so much comfort na kaya ko na ulit lumaban bukas. Para sa pangarap, para sa pamilya.

" Wala Manong Jun, may classmate lang ako sobrang arte, paawa pa " I replied.
" Nako ma'am wag mo na isipin yun. Saan ml ba gusto gumala ngayon ma'am Lindstey? " He asked me.
