Iniiwasan
"So what do you mean na 'panakip butas ka' lang?" rinig ko ang pag singhap ni Lili sa kabilang linya ng telepono, kanina pa siya umiiyak and unfortunately she did not go to school today which leaves me alone here today walking to my next class.
"I don't know Aly .. hindi ko alam.." humahagulgol pa din siya, uhm. I think 30 minutes na siyang umiiyak at kanina pa rin ako naguguluhan sa kinukwento niya, hindi ko maintindihan, seriously?!
"So nagco conclude ka lang Lili? Ano ba! Don't you know how to ask your guy if he tends to cheat or gives you the enough love?" I sighed out of frustration, not because of her dahil nakalimutan ko palang gawin yung homework ko kagabi, and it's all because of Kuya Benedict insisting that I'm jealous with Ate Irish which is not true.
"Bakit ko naman tatanungin yun no? I'm a girl with decency and if ever he's cheating gusto ko siya mismo ang aamin saakin nun." umirap ako sa hangin
"Eh paano kapag hindi umamin, magbubulaglagan ka diyan huh?" nilapag ko ang gamit ko sa upuan ko before seating down, I am five minutes early kaya wala pa ang teacher, I saw Calyx eyes observing my gestures before seating down beside me, isa pa itong lalaking to, ano naman kaya ang problema niya ngayon?!
"Urgh, okay I'll ask him later, happy?" naiiritang sabi ni Lili sa kabilang linya
"Yes, very. And update me immediately after he confessed okay?" natatawang tinitignan ako ni Calyx mula sa pwesto niya, I glanced at him and his face were at the top of his palm na nasa lamesa. What the!
"Okay .. kopyahin mo yung mga homeworks ah, don't you dare forget Alyanna!" I nodded kahit alam kong hindi niya naman nakikita, then she ended the call. I sighed before facing my cousin.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I raised him an eyebrow which he responded with a smirk. Tahimik siyang lumingon sa unahan without saying a word to me, I decided to ignore it siguro naman ay kakausapin niya ako kung gusto niya.
"I heard what happened at your house." he continued without looking at me, and I did the same too specially at andito na yung teacher namin, I don't want my name to be called out dahil lang sa nakikipag tsismisan ako, that would be embarrassing!
"And? What did you found out?" I glanced at him and found him smirking
"A triangle which contains Irish, Levi and you." I raised an eyebrow and face my cousin, natatawa siyang lumingon sakin. Sumulyap muna ako sa harapan at tinignan kung nakatingin ba ang teacher saamin and the good thing is she was not.
"Sinong nagsabi sayo?" that conversation is between my Kuya Benedict and Levi, I asked them to keep that conversation between the three of us dahil ayokong isipin ni Ate Irish na alam ko na ang lahat ng mayroon sila ni Levi noon, And I don't want her to feel ashamed of herself dahil sa mga ginagawa niyang pagtaboy saakin nung mga nakaraang araw dahil kay Levi, because last night I did understand all of her sudden actions towards me.
"Hulaan mo, sino ba sa dalawang kasama mo ang pinaka close ko?" umirap ako at inapakan ang paa kaliwa niyang paa, kumunot ang noo niya at nagkunwaring nasaktan, tss.
"Napaka tsismoso mo hindi naman nakaka gwapo." I whispered as I direct my attention to my teacher na kasalukuyang nagdi discuss na sa harapan, english ang subject ngayon at tinuturuan kami how to perform a proper speech in front, the props are all set including the microphone and the stage. Basically is my teacher prepared a her own written speech for us to read and she'll grade us according to our performance. And since my surname starts with an A which is Avanzano, I'll be the first one to read.

Before he left.
Romance"You killed my brother." sunod sunod ang pagtulo ng luha ko ng makita ko siya na nakangiti pa habang naglalakad papasok ng school gate. Nagawa niya pa akong ngitian matapos ipapatay ng pamilya niya ang kuya ko. "H-huh? Anong sinasabi mo Aly?" I slap...
