Cholita Marie Garcia and Tyler Jace Villagracia's Story Yumuko siya sa akin at inilapit ang mukha niya sa mukha ko. Ramdam ko ang pag-init ng magkabilang pisngi ko sa kaalamang malapit lang siya sa akin. "Nice meeting you, Cholita Marie. See you when I see you." ngumiti siya ng matamis sa akin at para bang papanawan ako ng ulirat ng dahil sa ngiti niyang iyon. Iniwan niya akong tulala sa pwesto ko at parang tangang nakasandal sa shelf. Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko at napakagat sa ibabang labi. Tama pala talaga iyong mga naririnig ko sa mga kaklase ko. Sa oras na ngitian ka ng isang Villagracia, wala kang kawala. Written by: sachtych

Yell San Pueblo and Lay Phoenix Valleja's Story Napalagok akong muli sa kopitang hawak ko habang pilit na iwinawaksi sa isipan ang mga ala-alang gusto ko ng ibaon sa limot. "You're drinking again." napatingin ako sa pumigil sa pagsalin ko ng alak. "Cinnamon, I just wanna have fun. Come on, what do you expect me to do inside this bar? Manood ng mga naglalampungan sa paligid?" Inirapan niya lang ako at umupo sa tabi ko. Napabuntong hininga pa ito at inakbayan ako. "Are you reminiscing the past again? Akala ko ba kakalimutan mo na siya? 5 years have passed already. Move on, sweetie." "Stop it, Cin. I've moved on. I am just thinking about the expansion of our business. Masyado kang praning dyan." "I just want you to stop thinking about the past. I've seen your darkest moments and I don't wanna see you again in that state anymore." malungkot na wika niya at hinawakan ang kamay ko.
