"For our last activity, we will do the 'Sorry and Thanks' activity." Panimula ni Mrs. Caliwag.

Sabado na ngayon kaya ito na ang huling araw namin na mag-aactivity dahil bukas ng umaga ay uuwi na kami. Kaninang umaga at hapon ay marami kaming group at individual activities na ginawa.

Cauis and I didn't talk that much unless there's something important he needs to say. I was hurt because I think he realized that he really loves Athena kaya hindi na nya ako pinapansin. Dapat tanggap ko na yun pero masyado kasi akong umasa dahil sa pag-trato nya sa akin. I can't blame him because it was me who assumed too much.

Nasa beach kami ngayon at nakapalibot sa bonfire. Katabi ko sina Paula at Erika at hindi kalayuan sa pwesto ko ay naaninag ko si Caius kasama ng mga kaibigan nya. Our other teachers are outside the circle and it is just Mrs. Caliwag who is standing in the middle.

"Uunahan ko na kayo, corny itong activity natin." Natatawang sabi ni Mrs. Caliwag kaya bahagya din kaming natawa sa sinabi nya.

"Your teachers will give you each, a succulent plant and a small teddy bear." Mrs. Caliwag said then our teachers started distributing the things Mrs. Caliwag mentioned.

"The mechanics is just simple, ibibigay ninyo ang succulent plant sa taong pinaka-sasalamatan ninyo. Then the teddy bear is for the person you want to apologize to. No words needed but if you want to say something to that person ay pwede naman. Got it?" Mrs. Caliwag said.

Sumagot naman kami ng 'yes' tapos ay tinawag na ni Mrs. Caliwag si Dan na syang student council president namin. We cheer when guys give their succulent plants to girls pero kapag ang teddy bear naman ang binibigay ay natatahimik kami.

Then when it's my turn, I stood up. Nakiusap ako kanina kay Mr. Ocampo kung pwedeng dalawang teddy bear na lang ibigay sa akin pero hindi daw pwede dahil sakto lang ang mga ito. I first walked towards Wayne at nakita kong nagulat sya nang iabot ko sa kanya ang succulent plant. I heard cheers and whistles pero hindi ko ito pinansin.

"Thank you for making me happy, Wayne and at the same time, I'm sorry. I really wanted to give you a chance but there are circumstances I cannot control. I hope we can be friends." Mahina kong sabi bago sya nginitian.

He did not answered and looked at me shockingly so I turned my back to him and went towards Daniella. Seryoso nyang kinuha ang teddy bear kaya nginitian ko sya.

"I'm sorry, Daniella. I did not mean to hurt your feelings but believe me that I tried not to entertain Wayne because I know you'll be hurt. I'm very sorry."

She rolled her eyes at me and I think it's my cue to leave. Medyo gumaan na ang pakiramdam ko dahil sa pagka-usap ko sa kanilang dalawa. I lowered my head when I passed by Caius' place dahil mariin nya akong tinitignan.

Nanatili na lang akong nakatingin sa bonfire at hindi pinansin ang pag-tukso sa akin nina Paula. Sinabi ko na mag-kaibigan kami ni Wayne pero ayaw nilang maniwala.

"Ma'am? Can I sing?" Rinig kong tanong ni Wayne kaya napa-tingin ako sa pwesto nya.

"Sure, you can." Naka-ngiting sagot sa kanya ni Mrs. Caliwag.

Wayne took an acoustic guitar behind him and when he started strumming, Daniella and her friends squealed. Then my eyes landed on my side and I caught Caius staring at me so I quickly turned my head back to Wayne. What's his problem now?

Ang alam ko ay magaling magkanta si Wayne pero hindi ko pa sya naririnig na kumanta. He stopped strumming and started singing.

'They read you Cinderella
You hoped it would come true
That one day your Prince Charming
Would come rescue you
You like romantic movies
You will never forget
The way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet
