Feelings Gone Gray
Peyton. For him, three months of being burned out in his boring house, alone and crippled, is no different to a prisoner waiting to rot in jail. But when he was able to walk again, he was dying to satisfy his cravings. Basketball. Sex. Revenge. In mind, he had crafted a perfect plan. But someone has other plans. Larkin. A fucking straight homophobe. And was his best friend. Peyton couldn't believe he appeared before him, bringing the shadows of the past he believed he already had buried behind. Peyton disappeared to forget and heal. Larkin reappeared to make him remember and suffer. One fucking night ruined their seventeen years of friendship! Isang gabing pilit niyang gustong kalimutan kahit hindi naman niya iyon lubusang matandaan. Larkin wanted him out of his life and that's what he did. So why is he back acting like he didn't threw those offensive words at him? Dirty. Lewd. Disgusting. Gross. Faggot.

The One I Left Behind
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? "I need you, Syndell Grace."Complete
Vanilla's Poser Girl
"What makes you think you're already in love? You haven't even met that Zero." Natawa naman ako sa kaibigan kong si Leigh habang inaayos ko yung sintas ng sapatos ko. "Why Leigh? Do you fall in love at first sight? Hindi naman din di ba? Saka sabi mo, fall in love with the character. That's why I think I'm falling for this Zero." "You don't even know him yet, Van." "Exactly. Kaya nga ako naeexcite e. It seems that we don't know each other yet. But we can already feel the connection as if we've known each other for a long time." Natahimik naman ito doon. Pagkatapos ay sinimulan na din magpalit ng jersey. "Just slow down. You might find yourself breaking. Mamaya gamitin ka lang nyan." Umismid naman ako. "Gaya ng mga exes mo? Y'know what's wrong with you, Leigh? Pinangungunahan mo lahat. That's why no one can keep up with your standards." "Hey, I'm just saying if what if he's a psycho? A stalker? A hooker?" Tumawa naman ako dito. She's really paranoid. "Just step out of your safe zone, Leigh. You're already missing the most exciting part of life." "Slowing down isn't always bad, Vanilla." "Yeah, but look at you. Seriously? Continous failed relationships?" "Ikaw din naman a. Why aren't you finding the right one yet?" "I already found him. That's zero. I can feel the connection. He guesses everything about me perfectly. Like all of my favorites and quirks that only you and the girls can tell." I gave her an elated smile. "So, back off. And just be happy for me. Okay?" "What if that's a stalker or a paparazzi that already run a background check with you?" "Ang negative mo, Leigh. Seriously, just fall in love and get a life." Ngumiti ito ng nakakaloko. "Okay, so what will you do if that Zero is a girl?" Natigilan naman ako. "You're not Zero, are you?" "Of course not." Nakahinga naman ako. "As long as it's not you, I'm okay." "Why?" "Because I don't want to end up with a puppet like you. Yikes! A barbie doll of everyone."Complete

MY GIRLFRIEND FOR HIRE!
"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??
