I looked at myself in the mirror. Hindi na masyadong namamaga ang aking mga mata. I'm done crying. Enough, I'm so done with it. Everything will be alright, Ellie. Sabi ko sa aking sarili.

"It's okay, Ellie. I know you'll get through this. You're strong and brave" I said to myself in front of the mirror. I tried to smile.

Since today is the first day of our College days, we will be wearing our COB (College of Business) shirt. I tied the bottom part of my shirt at back to make it look like a crop top. Di naman nakikita ang balat ko cuz I also paired it with a high waist denim skirt and a white Gucci shoes.

Our school is not that strict so we're allowed to wear shorts, mini skirts, sleeveless. Inayos ko muna ang naka ponytail kong buhok.

"Malalagpasan mo rin 'to" I said to myself, again.

I'll start my day with a smile. I checked myself one more time at kinuha ko na rin ang bag at susi ng kotse ko, tapos bumaba na.

When I went down, agad akong pumunta sa dining area para kumain ng breakfast, but I was shock to see my dad. It's very unusual. Minsan hindi kami nagkakasabay kasi palagi naman siyang maaga sa office and now his here! Hindi pa ba siya tapos?

Tumalikod ako para umalis d'on. He called out my name pero hindi ko siya pinansin. Nakasalubong ko si Manang at mukha siyang nagtataka at nag-aalala.

"Hindi po ba kayo kakain ng breakfast, Mam?" she asked in a concerned tone.

"No, Manang. I'll eat outside po. Mauna na ako" I gave her a small smile at umalis na sa mansion namin.

Pinatunog ko ang aking pickup at sumakay na don. Agad namang binuksan ng isa sa mga tauhan namin ang aming gate at pinaharurot ko na ang sasakyan palabas sa subdivision namin.

When I finally arrived at our school, I parked my car in a vacant lot. Hindi ko pa pinatay iyon dahil tinext ko pa si Alexis.

Me: Hey, are you in school already?

Alexis: Good morning Ellie! 😘 papunta pa kami diyan. I'm bringing the delicacies!

Sumingkit ang mga mata ko. Kami? Kasama niya ba si Nico?

Me: Are you with Nico?

It took her more than five minutes to reply. Until my phone vibrated.

Alexis: Oo na. Kasama ko siya. Sinamahan niya akong kunin ang mga delicacies.

These two. Are they a thing already? I'm happy for Nico. He's now doing something para kay Alexis. Bagay naman talaga sila. Nico's a good guy, boring lang din pero iba siya kay Kiel!

Speaking of Kiel.. naalala ko naman iyong sinabi niya sa aking kagabi. Guni-guni ko lang ba iyon? Did I really heard it right?

I hope I could take away your pain.

Tama ba talaga iyong narinig ko? Or sa isip ko lang iyon. I replied to Alexis one more time at ngayon, si Kiel naman ang tinext ko.

Me: Good morning, Mr. President! 😊 are you in school already?

Hindi nakaabot ng isang minuto agad namang nag-reply si Kiel.

Kiel: Good morning, Elodie. Yes, I'm at our booth. Ikaw?

Me: I'm going there
