A request from my Childhood Friend: Let's play strangers.
Nicholas Tuazon dreamed to be a popular boy at high school. But he thought if his childhood friend is around him he might not get the opportunity. So he asked Stephannie Santiago they will ac...
I can feel the warmth of the sun in my whole body. As I open my eyes... it's so bright. Is it kamatayan?....
Napalundag nalang ko mula sa aking pagkakahiga nang marealize ko ang mga iniisip ko. Kinuh ko ang phone ko na nasa table malapit sa kama at tinignan ang oras. What the?! Bakit waa man lang nanggising sa akin?! Dali-dali akong tumakbo sa banyo upang maligo.
Pagkatapos ng aking pagligo bumaba na ako. Baka pwede pa ako pumasok a afternoon class!
While wearing my shoes I notice that my mom is watching me with curiosity. I look at her, "What? Why didn't you wake me, Ma?"
As I throw that question I can see Mom suppressed her laughter. My eyebrows frown.
"Mom!?"
"Okay, okay don't you remember today is Sunday? You don't have any classes. Yesterday is Saturday," after she said that my mouth opened wide and look at her unbelievably. She just laughs at me.
Yeah, yesterday is Saturday. And I finally remember. And the word Yesterday bring back memories of what happened last night. Ughhh!! Why I am so stupid!? Tsk. What will I do now?
"Okay go get undressed your uniform," finally she stopped laughing.
"Haiii!!" I responded in a lazy tone.
Maybe I should hide before my Mom remembers that. I quickly get off my shoes and hurried upstairs. I choose a simple Blue dress. It is long enough to cover my kneecaps. After that, I jump to bed again, not feeling to eat something and want to hide from them. I took my phone and decided to surf my Instagram.
Beep... Beep... You got a new message from Nicholas.
I dropped my phone and it went straight into my face. What in the world?
Even I am mad at him right now, I decided to check his message. Well, maybe it is about school or emergency.
Steph, are you okay? Want to go outside? 11:30 pm seen
What the?! Can't he really tell if I am alright? Is he the Nich I happened to be in-loved with? And we happened to be the best buddies? He's now acting like he saw nothing last night?
I want to reject him. But isn't this the I talked to him? I asked my self. NO WAY THE HELL I WILL. Like he just sat there expressionless. Ughh, he drives me crazy. I stand up and throw my phone in bed.
I open the windows and let the fresh air come in. NO, I murmured. I'm not playing hard-to-get-girl, I hope he will not misunderstand my Actions. I get a chair and sit in front of the window and watch the sky.
"Everyone, I'm sorry for ruining your family dinner. I'm sorry... that I didn't know anything."
I can hear Scarlet said as she starts sobbing and walks away
Ugh!!
"Look at what have you done Stephannie?!"
Then my dad's voice playing around my head.
"Look at what have you done Stephannie?!"
"Look at what have you done Stephannie?!"
Then dad slaps me. I touch my cheek. I still feel it.
Ugh!
I stand up and jump in the bed and roll. I'm crazy. I felt like being possessed by a ghost. Rolling, rolling-
Tok! Tok! Tok!
Until someone knock on my door.
Should I open it? Or should I act asleep? Whatever. Let just see who is this.
I walk to the door and open it. Oh, it's just mom.
"What are you doing there, Steph?" she tries to peek.
"Nothing just trying to get asleep," I said.
"Oh, okay," she smiled.
"Why, mom. Is there anything you need?" I asked.
"Uhmm..." she halts. "About last night-" I cut her, "Well, about last night, I'm very very sorry. It's just- Uhmm... I don't know," Mom looked at me curiously.
"I thought it is just your act last night, Nich and the girl said to us." my eyebrows knitted.
Nich and Scarlet. Oh, yes I remember I cried over her shoulders last night. So she pulled it out, huh? And Nich?
"Steph?"
"Y-yes that's right. We just want to pull off something. But it turns out that I got dad." I smile, scratching my head.
"Okay! So because of that get dressed and we are going to church."
"Okay," I answered and close the door.
For starters, let's find a dress that is for church. It took me 20 minutes to find tht suit my taste. Well, I'm picky.
This is what I choose.

I put my picked clothes and bag to bed and the shoes on the floor. Dahil tamad ako ngayon di na ako pumunta sa Bathroom para mag bihis. I start undressing my dress. Then I heard...
Tok! Tok! Tok!
What the?! What the?! Nagsimula na akong mataranta. Did I locked the door? Ugh! No I didn't! What the?! I heard the doorknob click. And it slowly opened
I can't move. I only wearing bra and underwear and cycling. What the!? I can't utter any word.
THIS IS IT?! WhOever is behind the door is his/her last breath!
