Timothy's POV

I woke up as soon as I heard my alarm ring. I wasn't able to sleep that much because of the thought of her.

Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit siya laging nasa isip ko. I realized about the messages on our windows and quickly went to look if she responded.

Muntik na akong matumba dahil sa pagmamadali ko. Nang makarating din ako sa wakas, a smile formed on my face when I saw her message.

It says "Can we be friends?" I don't know what to do anymore. A part of me wants to get close to her but another part of me just can't do it.

My smile falters as i decided to not write back anymore. I can't risk it. I already accepted the fact that I won't be able to live a normal life.

I hesitantly got away from the window and decided to go down and continue my own life. By myself.

Serenity's POV

As soon as I woke up, agad kong tiningnan kung sumagot siya. Ngunit nalungkot ako ng makitang walang nakalagay.

"Oh..." malungkot kong bulong. Kaso naisip ko na baka hindi niya pa nakikita. Sana nga ganun. Pinagpasyahan kong hintayin ito hanggang bukas.

Naligo na ako at bumaba para kumain at maka-alis na para maka pasok na sa school.

---

Pagpasok na pagpasok ko palang sa room, bumati agad sa akin si Eve. "Uy Ren! Buti hindi ka late ngayon." natatawang sabi niya.

"Ako pa!" tugon ko. Sakto namang dumating si Prof. Soriano kaya umupo na kami at nagsitahimik.

Nakikinig ako ng bigla akong tinawag ni Eve. "Psst, kamusta na pala kayo nung Future Husband mo?" bulong niya.

"Hays, ayun hindi pa ako sinasagot. Sabi ko "Can we be friends?" pero ayun wala pa rin." malungkot kong bulong.

"Hintayin mo nalang, baka hindi niya pa nakikita." sabi niya. "Sana nga." malungkot kong bulong.

I couldn't focus sa lessons at all. I kept thinking about my neighbor. Hindi ko alam bakit disappointed ako masyado. Hayss.

Hindi ko napansing naka tulog na pala ako sa klase habang iniisip ito.

Timothy's POV

I sighed as I finish my last lesson for today. Nag-aral nalang dapat ako pero instead I let myself get distracted by my neighbor.

I went to the kitchen to grab a meal when I noticed a note on the fridge.

"Kukuha lang ako ng gamit sa hospital, baka matagalan ako. Initin mo nalang yung niluto kong ulam diyan."

I'm guessing it's from Nurse Fey, sino pa bang nandito. I looked at the table to see kung anong ulam and then decided to heat it.

I heard the microwave go off meaning it was done heating up. Kumuha ako ng kanin and juice at kumain na.

While eating, I kept thinking about things. My neighbor, my parents coming home and my treatment.

A side of me already accepted that I will live alone and locked up here but gusto ko ring maranasan maging normal.

May kaibigan, traveling, having a family of my own and so much more. Not like this. Alone and locked up.

When I finished eating I washed the dishes. Of course I need to learn house chores kahit papano.

After finishing I went up my room, completely ignoring my window and took a nap.

---

I woke up when I suddenly heard noises downstairs. I realized that I slept for quite awhile. It was already evening.

I immediately grabbed my baseball bat dahil baka magnanakaw ito o ano. It might be Nurse Fey pero she never makes that much noise enough to wake me up.

Dahan-dahan akong bumaba at napansing walang nakabukas na ilaw. It was pitch black so I went back to my room to get flashlight.

Nang makababa na ako sinundan ko kung saan galing ang mga tunog. Nakarating ako sa may dining room at pinatay ko muna ang flashlight ko.

I sneakily walked to approach them but when I was ready to hit them, bumukas bigla ang mga ilaw and revealed who they were.

Nurse Fey and...

My parents.
