Nagising ako dahil sa tunog ng cellphone ko. Merong tumatawag sakin, badtrip naman ang sarap-sarap ng tulog ko eh.

"Mwoya?" Tinatamad kong sagot.

"Ehem, Kaira. Did i interrupt your sleep?" Tanong ni Chairman.

"Ani, Hwejangnim. Mianhae, I didn't know who is calling me. I'm tired Chairman, I want to rest na po talaga." sagot ko.

"Okay, good night Kaira. Have a sweet dreams." Aniya

"Sige po." Sabi ko at pinatay na ni Chairman ang call.

KINABUKASAN

"What is the time now?" I asked myself. I look to the wall clock, oh it's already 5:30 am.

Uminom ako ng tubig, pumasok sa cr at nagmouthwash. At sabay baba sa dining area. This house? It's totally good. Masasanay ata ako ng simpleng buhay. Pagbaba ko ay may nakahain na HAHAHAHHAA GREAT! Umupo na ako at kumain ng kumain. Matatapos na ako ng dumating si Hyung. I just ignored him, don't wanna talk to him. Umakyat na ako at nagready na pumasok.

MAYA-MAYA

Nasa school na ako, assual kasabay ko si Hyung. Ang awkward nga lang dahil hindi kami nagpapansinan. Pagbaba ko ng kotse dumiretso na agad ako sa gate.

Pagkapasok ko palang ng school ang dami na namang nakatingin sakin at nagbubulungan pa sila. Tupangina!

'"SIYA 'YONG KASAMA NI ASHTON KAHAPON DIBA?"

"WHAT  A STUPID GIRL,TINGNAN LANG NATIN KUNG MAKAKAALIS SIYA SA GULONG PINASOK NIYA"

"MALI  ANG KINAKALABAN NIYA"

"NAKAKAAWA  NAMAN SIYA, HAYS BUT SHE IS STRONG. I ADMIRE HER."

DUMIRETSON NALANG AKO SA ROOM DAHIL NAIINIS NA AKO SA BULUNGAN! PAGPASOK KO PALANG, ASHTON AND AKEMI GREETED ME. HINDI NA KAMI NAKAPAGKWENTUHAN DAHIL DUMATING NA ANG HISTORY TEACHER NAMIN.

BREAKKKKKKK!!!!

Inayos ko kaagad ang gamit ko at lumabas na kami nila Ash and Akemi. Wanna make more friends HAHAHHAHA! Pagbaba namin hinarang kami ng isang babaeng nangangalang Cathy base sa ID niya, napataas ang kilay ko n'ong nakita ko ang apelyido niya. Vasquez huh? Ate siguro 'to n'ong malanding babaeng si Mia! Base on her neck tie and her uniform she is in the Tertiary Level. Aalis na sana kami kaso hinawakan niya ang braso ko.

"What do you think you are doing? I need to talk with you." Matapang na tanong niya.

"Oh, hi Miss Vasquez. Sorry but can you please don't interrupt my break time? Don't wanna waste my time to a shits like you." Sagot ko with sarcastically tone. Boom HAHAHAHA! At sabay walk out. Ayokong sayangin ang time ko sa kanya, hindi naman siya karapat-dapat bigyan ng oras. HAHAHA!

Ashton P.O.V

Kaira? She is my childhood bestfriend, she is beautiful, a good-hearted person in the past. But now? Yeah, she is beautiful walang nagbago doon pero sa ugali niya meron. She is demonic girl now, cold-hearted, rebellious girl, and a murderer? HAHAHAHA ahm yeah, aaminin ko madami na siyang napatay dahil sa utos ng Chairman nila. Im happy kasi dito din siya magaaral sa YOUNG HIGH UNIVERSITY!

YOUNG HIGH UNIVERSITY is a school that only rich families can afford the tuition. Itong school na 'to?

May main building, sa main building nagro-room ang 1st year.
While in the Young 1st Building is the 2nd year, in the Luxious Building is the 3rd year, Vasquez Building is for clubs, library, cafeteria, faculty office, guidance&principal office, admins office, laboratories, ssg office, and school paper. Kamille Building is for 4th year. Meron ding mga sarilig court and Volleyball, Basketball, Football, and also Badminton. My swimming ang billiard area din. And for the Tertiary, bawat building is for each courses. Of course, the grade 11th and 12th building ay merong 4 buildings.

Oh hello, I'm Ashton Luxious, the handsome bestfriend of Kaira. I'm basketball player. I'm 18 yrs old. After 3 years nakita ko rin si Kaira. After our Junior High School I left South Korea. And now, we are on our first year college.

Hindi kami kumain sa cafeteria because for sure nand'on si Mia. Sa canteen nalang kami kakain.

FLASHBACK

"I'm leaving this country on weekends, Kaira." I said.

"So this is really the end?" tanong niya.

"I need to leave. I want to leave." sagot kong may diin sa salitang WANT.

"Ah, I understand. You want to leave because of me, right?" She asked. I don't want to do this but my dad said that I should.

"I hate you for being a murderer. Kaira, you can stop doing this naman. Just tell your Chairman about this." I said.

"No, if you want to leave then go. Hindi kita pipigilan. Bestfriend lang naman kita. Hindi ka mahalaga sa'kin." She said and that words literally broke my heart.

"Hindi ka naman ganito dati, pero simula no'ng nag15 tayo nawala na iyong dating ikaw." sigaw ko.

"Tumahimik ka nalang. Wala na akong pake sa mga sasabihin mo. I thought this is important but hindi pala. This is just wasting my time. Bye." aniya at umalis.

I need to leave South Korea. Pwede naman akong tumira sa America dahil nandoon ang mommy. But why it hurts leaving her? Tama lang naman sa kanya iyon diba? She is a murderer. A murderer.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Ash? Are you okay?" Kaira asked me.

"Ah, yes. May naalala lang ako." sagot ko.

"Ano yon? Ang nakaraan ba? Iyong dating ako na naman ba?" she asked with curious eyes.

"No. I know I can't bring back the old you." I smiled.

"You actually can but it's too late." She said smiling but in her eyes I saw pain.

"Kaira, are we good? I mean, I left Korea without having a good talk with you. Ngayon nalang ulit tayo nagkita tapos biglang okay." I asked with curiosity.

"Okay na okay. Ano ka ba? Be thankful, gustong-gusto kita kaya wala akong hinanakit sayo." she asked laughing.

"Gustong-gusto?" I asked with "huh" face.

"I mean gustong-gusto na kaibigan." She said awkwardly.

"Do you like me?" I asked straight.

"H-huh? W-what? Wag ka assuming." She said uttering.

I know, she is.
