(FHS #5) Silverianne Villafranca only wanted one thing when she came to Filimon Heights - freedom. However, she got more than what she bargained for the moment she met the town's local rebel who comes with a crazy package.

I kept pressing my lips together, trying to stop myself from smiling, as I walked towards the campus gates. My steps are fast, almost skipping. I can feel my ponytail swaying at the back of my head.
The summer classes haven't started yet but thanks to an unfinished presentation from a previous subject, I had to drop by and dress-up formally. It's annoying to have to come to school but at least I have an excuse to leave the house and meet Jethro.
Paglabas ng gate, napangiti agad ako nang matanaw ko si Violet na nakaupo sa hood ng sasakyan, kumakain ng ice cream at parang walang pakialam sa mundo. Nakatayo sa tapat niya si Jethro na nakahalukipkip ang mga braso at maiging nagbabantay.
Jethro's probably worried that Violet will slip off the hood and fall to the ground. Minsan na kasi iyong muntik mangyari.
Tumawid ako patungo sa kanila at saktong lumingon si Jethro sa direksyon ko.
Jethro smiled and raised his hand up, but all of a sudden his eyebrows furrowed, looking at me from head to toe. I can't blame him. I'm wearing a pink tweed skirt suit and white high heels. It's an unusual thing for me to wear but for the sake of my grades, I just had to.
"Ate Silver!" Violet beamed at the sight of me. Ako naman ay halos mapangiwi dahil sa kanyang hitsura — magulo ang buhok, may mantsa ng ube ice cream sa mukha at damit na pambahay. My mother would collapse if she sees me in such a state!
Violet raised her face and hands, wanting me to pick her up.
"You're a big girl, Letty. Hindi ka na kakargahin ni Silver," Jethro said in a gentle and authoritative tone as he wiped Violet's hand with a handkerchief.
"Ate!" Violet cried out while kicking her feet.
"Shh... Kuya Jethro's kidding," bawi ko agad sabay pasimpleng siko kay Jethro na bahagya lang na tumawa. Bully Gori.
Kinuha ko ang panyo ko at ako na rin ang pumunas sa mukha ni Violet.
"No!" Nagulat ako nang biglang tumili ang bata. 'Yon pala ay inagaw na ni Jethro ang ice cream niya at walang pasabing itinapon ito sa basurahan.
"Aalis na tayo, I'll just get you a new ice cream at the restaurant," Jethro said with his usual emotionless voice.
Pumalahaw si Violet nang pagkalakas-lakas at nakita ko naman ang labis na gulat sa mukha ni Jethro. Hindi ko alam kung sino ang mas nakakatawa, ang hindi maipintang mukha ni Violet na tulo laway at sipon na o si Jethro na parang nakakita ng multo.
Poor Jethro looked at me with a confused and panicked look at his face. Halos pareho ito ng hitsura niya nang aksidente niya akong masiko. Nothing beats the look on his face when the need broke though... Good times.
"Kawawa naman si Baby Violet, ang bad talaga ni Kuya Jethro," pang-aalo ko habang nagpipigil ng tawa. Hinawi ko ang magulong buhok ni Violet at mas lalo itong pumalahaw. Buka kung buka ang bibig dahil sa magkahalong sigaw at iyak. Cute.
