Dear Katherine ,
This is me, your younger self at 18. I don't have any idea what difficult situation you're in but believe me, I am in the same situation and I made it. I survived. Firstly because we're the same person. Secondly, because we aren't weak.
Tiniklop ko na ang notebook ko at niligpit. They call it diary, I call it " the Other Me ". It has a small belt that serves as lock at ako lang ang nakakabukas nito.
" Eeew, nagsusulat ka ng diary? Napaka old - style ."
I turned my head and saw Kim's ally number 2 na may makapal na lipstick at eyeshadow pero walang foundation.
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.
" Hindi kita pinakialaman kahit gothic style yang mukha mo," I said and rolled my eyes before leaving.
Writing is my soul's silent scream. If you have problems with that, you'd better punch yourself before I do.
" Hush my loves now don't you lie....
Karma's got a way of making things right.... "
Maraming beses na tumunog ang phone ko, an indication that I have tons of messages received. Judging from the ringtone I recently set, messages are sent on my Code Game number.
Ano na naman kaya ang isyu ng Code Game this time?
Pumasok ako sa powder room at doon na binasa ang mga messages ko. Things related to Code Game must not be shown in public. That's one of the Code Game norms.

My insides shiver at the thought. I anticipated this moment since the first time I encounter Code Game. Pero ngayong nagsimula na ang Code Game countdown, nakaramdam ako ng kakaiba. It may be fear or excitement, I could not determine which is which. But part of me, my intuition I think, keeps whispering me to back out.
Paano?
Some days, I can't wait to start playing. Some days, I wish the time would stop running and Code Game will never happen.
" Hush my loves now don't you lie.... "

From : Eros
Requirements ang pagiging masunurin ng mga players kaya nagbilang din ako.
The moment I turn my head, there's no trace of Eros, except of course, for the white box and white rose on the ground.
Hindi ko na binasa ang message niya na nakadikit sa white rose. I opened the box first.
" Chocolates?!! "
I licked my lips.
Ang daming chocolates! I'm not into sweets pero namamangha ako sa dami.
Pa'no ko ba uubusin 'to?!
Tiningnan ko ang rose at binasa ang mensahe niya saken.
" Code Game starts 13 days from now. Be prepared "
" Hush my love now don't you lie..... ."
