Verlaine's POV

Rosie, Ate's friend, came up to me.

"So, I heard may boyfie ka na, teh!" Hayyss... Kahit kelan. Chismosa talaga siya! Pakialamera. Katulad ni Ate. Siguro yun yung dahilan kung bakit naging ganito si Ate... Errrr...

"Wala akong boyfie," I said. Annoyed...

"He's just my fake boyfriend," AY! WAIT! BAKIT KO TOH SINABEEEE!!! CHISMOSA PA NAMAN SI ROSIE. Well... Pssshhh... Hindi naman siguro niya ikakalat yun. You're so stupid talaga Verlaine kahit kailan!!!

"Wow! Fake? Meron bang ganun?"

"Oo meron. Now can you just go away? I wanna be alone. So yeah," I said then I walked away. Nobody can give me peace and quiet in this environment.

Ania's POV

Every time I see Sam, life always feels amazing. Suddenly tumitigil ang tibok ng puso ko (metaphor lang yun, ha. di talaga tumitigil ang puso ko. kung tumigil e di sana patay na ko ngayon) at suddenly it beats all at once ng sobrang bilis. Then suddenly the world stops, siya lang ang nakikita ko... Until... It rocks fast and fast and fast and fast.

Hindi ko ma-gets 'tong feeling na ito. Nakakainis at nakakatuwa at the same time. Confusing ba?

Hays! In love na ba ako?

NO! Hindi pwede... Hindi ako pwedeng ma-in love.

He's my sister's fake boyfriend. I shouldn't fall in love wih him kahit fake. 'Coz that would mean I'd probably do the same thing in the future. And besides... Baka infatuation lang toh.

"Nakakatuwa ang away ninyong magkapatid," I looked at Sam. Dahil sa kakaisip ko sakanya, nakalimutan ko na kasama ko siya.

"Nakakatuwa ba yun? It's not cool... Ayokong mag-away. I'm not the type of person who starts fights. I just... I just had to tell her things. I just needed to guide her. Although I'm like a few minutes older than her, I know a lot more than her." He smiled and held my hand. Nakakatawa because I've never fallen like this. Kahit infatuation man yan, I feel like this story is too fast. Because I've always thought it takes a lot more chapters in a story until the two main characters fall in love. But then suddenly... It just... I just... Fell. Out of nowhere. I've just met him. And now we're doing the craziest mission the world has probably ever heard.

"At least you have a sibling... I'm just the only child. Which is... Lonely, you might say. Because one can never be happy alone. Because nobody can be alone. And nobody is alone," he said then he let go.

"Sana... Sana nga. But it feels like in this life I'll always be alone..."

"You are not alone," he said then he said he was gonna leave and with that... He left.

Alone.

That's such a strong word. Hindi ba talaga ako... Alone? Kasi sa buong buhay ko, never have I felt the love from my parents o kahit sa kapatid ko. Lagi na lang kasi ako second place. I'm the second placer. Para sa mommy at dad ko, I'm just second place kahit na ako siguro ang pinakamagaling sa klase namin, mas magaling kay Verlaine, at 1st honor, valedictorian, never became 2nd. Ako ang 2nd placer. Matalino rin naman si Verlaine pero siya ang salutatorian samin. Minsan ay hindi siya nakakaabot sa 10th spot. Pero siya pa rin ang nakakatanggap ng pagmamahal. At ako na ang invisible. Ako yung hindi nakikita. Nandyan ako pero parang hindi. Nakakainis. But then that's just how life is... I'm not mad at Lana. I'm not jealous, in fact I know mom and dad love her so much that I want her to be what they want her to be so they won't be disappointed. Iyon lang ang pwede kong gawin. Yun lang. So awhile ago? I did that for her. Dati hindi ko siya pinakikialaman. But then... I soon realized, there was something I can do for this family naman pala. And that is to train my mom and dad's favorite. For them to love Lana even for. And who knows maybe soon... They'll love me.

Maybe...

Sam's POV

Walking to the basketball court, I thought of how much of a big deal is going on with those twins... And sad thing is, parte ako ng gulo nila. Bakit ba kasi ako pina-dare nila Kaine at Patty 'toh. Nakakainis... Dahil dito, I can't make "the moves" with Patty. Kainis!

Oh wait. Actually... I don't think Patty knows about our relationship. In fact why don't I make the moves to her now.

"Patty! Hi!" I waved. She smiled. Buti na lang siya lang ang andito.

"Hey Sam! You're blooming today... Sino ba yan?" She smiled. Kung pwede ko lang sabihin na siya yung dahilan...

"Well..."

"Si Verly girl yan, noh! Haha... Hope you're having fun with your 'girlfriend'. Hope you're havin' a blast with the dare we gave you." Hmmm... Si Verlaine... Of course... Mabilis din naman kumalat ang balita. Alam na nga ni Patty na "kami" na ni Verlaine. Sus! Si Patty pa... Of course malalaman niya. She knows every single gossip around. Pero kahit ganon... Kahit medyo... Chismosa? I still like her. Love her even. Because there's nothing about Patty you can't love.

"Uhmm... Yeah. Guess you can say that..." Kinamot ko ang ulo ko. Kung alam mo lang Patty...

"So... Are you falling for her?" Ok... This is the weirdest thing ever...

"Uhmm... No? 'Coz it's just been a day since we 'announced' our relationship which actually isn't even a day. It's probably just half of the day."

"Ohh... Well maybe soon. You'll start to fall in love with her." You wish Patty... How can I fall for someone else? When I've already fallen for you?

"Maybe..."

"Oh well... GTG! Bye!"

Oh Patty... Why do you want me to get wrapped up with some fake girlfriend?
