I knew him.  

Yes, past tense.  Sabagay, who wouldn't?  Gavin Mateo is the famous point guard of our University basketball team and probably the best looking sa varsity.  

But there's more to it. 

I knew him because he used to be my Lab partner in Chemistry.  Usually he would come to class wearing his headset while waiting for our prof and I assumed it was because ayaw niyang maki-mingle sa gaya naming mga ordinary students.  He seemed to be so full of himself and hardly make friends. 

But later on I came to really know him.  Hindi pala siya masyadong suplado, hindi rin sobrang masungit.  Medyo lang.  There were even times when he laughed at my corny jokes.  And as we became closer, I noticed him wearing his headset less and less until it was totally gone.  

He was my friend.  Or so I thought.

After just one unintentional mistake, he suddenly changed. The next thing I knew, he was back to his old cold self.  His guard was up.  Even his headset was back.  And he never talked to me again after that. 

Until now.

It's been two years.  Am I hallucinating?  Is he really in front of me, piercing me with his Zac Efron eyes and saying something I never  knew I would ever hear from anyone?

Just One Date by YellowPetals

If houses have termites and rice fields have rats, I, on the other hand, have Clark Ethan. Siya ang peste sa buhay ko. A damn good-looking pest, my cousin would say. But still a pest nonetheless. He's practically everywhere, every time, almost everyday. His mere presence pisses me off and although I've made it very clear to him that we can't be more than friends, he just don't seem to get it. I don't know what else to do so he'll leave me alone. Until he came up with a very tempting deal. One date. Just one date at tatantanan na niya ako. One date kapalit ng katahimikan ko. I'll finally get rid of him after just one date. That's why I took the risk. But the most unexpected thing happened. After that one date, I came to see him in a different light. I was able to discover the other side of him that I haven't paid attention to before. I realized he's not a jerk after all. He has Prince Charming potentials that I never knew existed. He's a Knight in Shining Armor waiting to happen. And all of a sudden, I found myself wanting to see him again, aching to be with him again. But he kept his promise. True to his words, I never saw his face again after that. I never heard from him again. He seemed to have moved on. I probably should, too. Problem is...ako naman ang inlove.

His Obsessive tactics: Not Anymore (COMPLETED✓) by MaymanKaOyyyy

FOR CLARITY: THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HYPNOSIS, THAT IS WHY OUR LEAD CHARACTER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING BEING CONTROLLED AND MANIPULATED. "G-greg, listen to me. You can still fix this, you can still be healed." I said while I touched his face, I was caressing his right cheek with my thumb. But, to my surprise, he went down from the bed and turned his back away from me and asked "Do you love me?" He said with a monotone voice, the quick transition scared me, from being hopeful to being dominant. I was shocked from his question, tila napipi ako at hindi alam kung ano ang isasagot sa katanungang iyon. "I said, Do.You.Love.Me" he said it again for the second time, though he was facing at the window, you can tell that he's furious because hes gritting his teeth. "Ha! Got it! You dont love me!!! You are giving me hope, for you to escape me right?! I wont fall for that my beloved Veronica. Im not fucked in the head, I know your weakness, I know your softest spot and I know how I can lure you. You will stay here with me, forever. No one's gonna meddle our love story. Even God, I say you start learning to love me back, coz theres no way Im letting you slip, ever again." He stood up at hinawakan niya ng marahas yung panga ko gamit ang kanyang kaliwang kamay, napakasakit, parang dinudurog ang aking buto, I held his hand na naka hawak sa aking panga and I was trying to pull it out, my tears were non-stop. "Your body, your mind and soul are mine. I own you and no one else." He pinched my earlobe and sucked my neck, he then let go. Suddenly, warmth and pleasure enveloped my body, I wanted to be touched, I wanted to release this warmth away from my body, these are my demons. He knew my vulnerable spot. ----------------------------------------------- WARNING: Read at your own risk, this story contains, explicit scenes and vulgar words that are not suitable for young audiences.

Imposible mang isipin pero pagdating sa pag-ibig, walang imposible.

He's always my inspiration since I enter college, kahit hindi kami magka-klase at di pa niya ako kilala nong first sem, I always follows him and always look at him. Nag audition pa ako sa banda sa school as vocalist para mapansin niya ako kaso hindi ako natanggap yet kinuha ako as the contestant for the Diva off yung contestant for the singing contest, I grab the opportunity kaagad at di inisip ang consequences pero binalewala ko yung takot for the sake na mapansin ako nang taong yun. Tsk. Second sem naging kaklase ko siya at napunta sa puntong nakalat sa buong klase... ay hindi pala, sa buong batch pala namin, even mga teachers alam na may gusto ako sa kanya. I really can't approach him kasi nahihiya ako and him also. Malay ko ba. Did this simple crush turns to the next level or it will fade away because of the differences in their social roles and the way they think their visions in life? Will this negative and positive attracts to each other? Or will it turn to nothing? Experience the crazy, complicated, thrilling story that you might turn your head upside down to this story entitled love out loud. -- Everytime you look at me my world stops and I can't help but to smile like an idiot. -Cyrus Alvarez

MY GIRLFRIEND FOR HIRE! by mirae_meee_plis

"enjoying the view?" Gulat akong napatingin sa pinanggalingan ng tinig na iyon. Then I saw Faris Rein Cervantes standing near me, quietly watching me while her hands are on her pant suits pocket, wearing her business attire, looking at me with her unreadable eyes. "Glad you came with my secretary here. Did she excuse you to your class?" She continue asking. "I don't know why I need to be here." I said confusedly instead of answering her. "I thought we're okay now? Na bayad na ako sa nagawa ko sayo?" Tumango ito bilang sagot bago humakbang patungo sa upuan na katapat lang ng sofa na inuupuan ko at umupo rin doon. "B-bakit mo pa ako hinahanap?" Matagal itong hindi sumagot at seryosong nakatitig lang sa aking mga mata na ginantihan ko naman ng nagtatanong na tingin. Ilang sandali pa ang lumipas bago ito nagsalita. "Because I need you." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi nito. Matapos ay natulala lang ako dito while still processing on my mind what she mean by that. "I still need you to act as my girlfriend." Pagpapatuloy nito. "Let's continue pretending, Miss Fontejar." Tuluyan na akong napatanga sa kanya. Oh my goshhh... What is happening to the earth???! I know that she's open to the public about her sexuality. Pero hindi kaya nababaliw na siya?? Who would be crazy to believe that a cheerleader STUDENT like me will be the girlfriend of as goddess as FARIS CERVANTES??! The famous young billionaire! The one who holds the title of the most SNOB most SERIOUS most COLD woman! and never give a d*mn to smile as if it's the most stupid thing to do. Ngayon, sino naman ang lolokohin naming maniniwala na papasa akong girlfriend niya? Hellooo... im just a simple cheerleader Queen Bee na ang hobbies bukod sa magpahagis sa ere ay ang mainggit sa love life ng mga kaibigan ko!

• His Stratagem Welt • | B❍❍K 1| •Vαkon• COMPLETED by Castiliane

# 1 nasaktan # 1 blindedbylove # 1 sporty Book 1 ***************************** He tilted his head at me then he gave me an irritated smile. I literally froze from looking at his smile. He got up from the rock then walked towards me. Hindi parin ako nakagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko. Both of us are in an opposite direction, we were 6 meters apart base sa dinadaluyan ng tubig sa falls. As he walked near me, unti unti ring natanaw ng maayos ang mukha nya. (punyeta.. Panty hold on lang) He has a tan skin, 5 ft nearing 6ft taller than me. He raised an eyebrow at me, as he look at me questioningly with his ocean deep colored eyes, i even saw his well defined jaw tightened a little bit, probably because of what i asked at him. ***************** I was His and..... Who was he again? Stratagem, those dark dreams that turned into success. Welt, a swollen heart is all i gave him to turn him into someone else worse than my very curled bangs. (Unedited: I'll re-edit those grammatical error line on the holidays. But as of now enjoy reading new schmittens.)

Naka-pasok na siya sa org. Mukhang magiging kaibigan niya na si Joaquin. But one night, few beers after, his world seemingly collapsed when Joaquin stared him in the eye and said, "In case there's any confusion, let me make it clear-I'm not gay." Franco's world tilted on its axis, crumbling in an instant. Now, his mission was simple: survival. Avoid Joaquin at all costs.
