Finding Inspiration

IRIS

Lumipas ang ilan weeks at lahat kami ay naghahabol sa amin mga eksam, proyekto, pagkolekta ng mga libro, at ang pagkompleto ng mga kabanata sa amin Wattpad stories. 

Days had been busier and frantic than ever, piles of works and research, the heavy burden we carry with us just to survive another hour is all it takes to make a writer stumble on to the field.

"Attention to all Romance writers out there!" Anunsyo ko kasama ang Romance Wattpad Representatives at ang mga kaibigan ko. Nagtipon kami malapit sa gate ng campus. "Magtulungan tayo para mabigyan ng liwanag ang mga hindi nabigyan ng pribilehiyo ng teknolohiya at mga librong pang imahinasyon. Sama-sama tayong aabutin ang kanilang kamay patungo sa liwanag!"

May mga napapadaan sa harapan na ibang mga genre writers at sinisimangutan kami ng mga ito.

"Nagpapapansin lang 'yan."

"Oo nga, kunwari may nagagawa lang pero puro daldal lang alam."

"Ang ingay naman nito akala mo nakakatulong ginagawa niya."

"We will collect as many books as we can to bring radiance to the ones still covered in darkness!" Pag-udyok ko sa kanila. 

Inangat namin ang amin kamao sa ere at sumigaw ng: "Para sa pag-ibig!"

It has been days since we've been collecting books and all we got so far is our own donations (which is hard enough to let our children go than it already is). Books is our children, adopting each one that will add colors into our lives, it sounds weird but a book is a reader's love.

"Dreamers!" Sigaw ko. "I'm calling out all the dreamers out there! Donate your books for the ones lost in darkness! We need your help!"

No matter how hard we tried to call them, whether on social media or in and out of campus, no one came.

"Ang init dito, Iris. Ituloy na lang kaya natin bukas." Sabi ni Stephanie.

"Oo nga, Iris. Wala kasi nakikinig sa atin na ibang genre. Papakinggan lang nila ang mga Antis." Malumanay na sagot ni Wren.

"Hindi tayo aasenso kapag boses lang ang pinapalaganap natin." Pinapaypayan ni Noelle ang kanyang sarili.

"Nasubukan na rin naman natin pumunta sa mga bookstores at ibang eskwelahan pero wala silang nabibigay na donations sa atin." Binaba ni Daisy ang hawak niyang illustration board na may drawing ng mga daisies at may salitang 'please donate your books'.

"Why?" Tanong ko sa akin sarili. "Why didn't anyone came?"

"They're still stuck in their world." Sagot ng boses lalaki mula sa akin likuran. "They are still dreaming in their wake."

Tumalikod ako para harapin siya. Tumambad sa harapan ko ang lalaki na may suot na white long-sleeve na may nakapatong na sweater, his sleeves are folded up to his biceps, and he has thick framed glasses almost covered by his tousled bangs.

Brent Spencer James Williams is the hottest nerd I had ever seen. Brent's beauty can't be numbered, it's uncategorizable and unmatched by anything in the world.

"What do you want?" Umiwas ako ng tingin kay Brent. I could feel my heart racing around him, my blood rushing through my cheeks. Brent's presence is making me feel a lot of things in my heart.
