Friendship. That was all I wanted to have with my best friend, Sien. Matindi ang pananaw ko na kaibigan lang ang kaya naming maituri sa isa't isa dahil doon kami magkakasundo.

I loved him, but he didn't reciprocate his feelings. Madaling magmahal ngunit mahirap itong makuha pabalik. I wasn't one of the lucky people who were loved back by the people they love. Come college, we drifted away. Lumayo ako para makalimot, pero siya itong balik nang balik. Habol nang habol. Hanggang nauwi kami sa isang pustahan. "If our group wins, you'll let yourself love me again, Cazandra Mae." "And if my group wins?" "How are you willing to gamble?" "If my group wins, you'll have to leave me alone." And so we gambled for love. Warning: The content of this book is written about three years ago; contains humongous errors, cringe-y lines, and bleurgh-zzz narration.
