I'm having coffee in our terrace, then suddenly, I saw a guy down, tumawid galing sa kabilang kalye. Maybe to buy some food. Malapit lang kasi ang bakery sa apartment namin. But wait. Did he just.... Tumitingin ba siya sa... akin?


We stared at each for about a minute or two. It was obvious in his face that he was hesitating to smile at me... or not? Then, yeah. He smiled, yet, instead of smiling back, yumuko ako at tumingin sa ibang direction. I was baffled. Do I know him? Did he know me? I don't know.


My mom then suddenly scold me for not retruning a smile from a stangers smile. She was indeed upset for what I did. Like, what? What did I do? Why is she like that? I don't even know the guy. 


Then the words from my mother hit me: "You know what? If you continue being like that, it's not impossible for you to end up like your aunt--a grumpy oldmaid."



What the heck?!

"You may not want to be in my head. You might find someone other than myself that you won't be able to forget. It'll haunt you like a nightmare you can't tell. " "Silly. What's in that tough demeanor, ate Cray?" tumawa lang si Ember at kumapit ulit sa braso ko. "I like you. That's enough right?" Napailing na lang ako sa inaasal nito. If she'll learn our history, she'll then understand. Pinalis ko yung kamay nitong nakakapit na naman sa braso ko. "Compose yourself, Ember. I don't like you. You're just like a sister to me. Someone I had to protect with my life." I caught the way those words cut through her. It's visible in the same set of lifeless coal eyes that I am most familiar with. "Bakit?" I stared at her blankly. "Atleast tell me what you don't like about me." "That's exactly why it hurts the way it hurts." Napangiti ako ng mapait. "You have too many questions, too many words, in your head. But those will be left unsaid. Like me, you have to suffer through the intricacy of feeling too much every single day of your life. It hurts like hell." "Damn you. I like you." "You like me for what?" "You. You're not like everyone else. You're so sure of yourself. You're clever. You're self-made. You're everything. Everyone likes you. So you should be mine." I laughed at how shallow those things meant for her. Someone who can't even meet me in the depths of my shattered soul. "Thanks. But those are all my disorder." As i was about to turn my back, she whispered, "I actually feel sorry for you. You still don't know what it was that you even had. And yet still choose to lose. But one day, you'll see me for who I really am. And you're going to hate yourself for turning me down." No, Ember. You're wrong. I know you. You don't know me. Our past will surely haunt us. For you, I'll just be a girl known by everyone. But in fact, known by no one. It's terrible isn't it? The way we throw people away. ****

I came out from my room heading down to the kitchen to have some water, wearing my old pajamas and my very old favorite tattered shirt. I felt the weigh in my head and i feel very sleepy but i can't get a way to sleep. So I think drinking 2 glasses of water might help me, as always advised by my Grand Mom. I handed a glass from the shelf, slowly moving as i feel the tire of my body from all my homework and school activities i had early this afternoon. I opened the fridge and grabbed the pitcher, as I faced back off the fridge, I saw a guy walking down from the stairs, as if as , it was like he's moving very slow and i can clearly see his face as he was turning his head towards me and exposing his bone-melting smile. "Ui Nao!" echoing in the background while he was heading near me. "Yung tubig! Nao natatapon." coming out from his shiny lips. I felt the cold on my hands and i feel the chill pouring on my feet. "Hui ano ba!? Basa kana!?" he calmly approached me and touched my hand. I slowly glanced our hands together and everything went back to normal when i saw the glass of overflowing water. "Ay sorry!" I, bowing my head to shame. "wait lang, ikukuha kita ng pamunas." he blurted out. I placed the pitcher back to the fridge while drinking the water trying to act normal but he was too busy to notice me staring at him as he kneel down to wipe the floor. "Ako na dyan Wiwin!" i insisted. "Wag na! Okay na!." looking at me giving his bright smile. I wonder why my brother's best friend seemed to be so cute that night. That's how I started liking him. So i never had a good sleep after all... -_-

"Change your clothes." Napatingin ako sa suot ko. It's just a knee-length simple dress. Formal naman para sa meeting namin ngayon kasama ng mga investor nya. Sinundo na nya ako sa unit dahil lagi akong nalelate. "Problema mo ba? I'm decent. It's not my fault that you're just out-fashioned." Sinulyapan ko pa yung suot nyang dark blue pant suit na katerno ng suot nyang white na tops at dark blue blazer. Masyadong conservative tingnan. "Just change your clothes." This time, pautos na iyon. "Ayoko nga. Bakit hindi ikaw ang magpalit ng dam-" Napasinghap ako nang hablutin nya ako palapit sa kanya. "You are utterly indecent." Mahinang bulong pa nito. Pakiramdam ko para akong ipinako sa pwesto ko habang magkadikit kaming dalawa. "Change your clothes or I'll do it for you?" Napalunok muna ako ng ilang beses bago sinalubong yung mga mata nya. I am Alliston Parker, hindi ako natatakot sa kanya. "Change Alli. I don't want to get into trouble tonight." "Trouble?" Itinuro nya ako. "It's a sin to look so tempting and dashing like that, it's not fair." She murmured again under her breath. Nalilitong tiningnan ko si Louella. "Tempting and dashing?" Baliw ba sya? Hindi na nga ako nag-ayos dahil aawayin na naman nya ako pag nahuli kami. Umiling ito na para bang gusto na akong sapakin. "Basta magpalit ka! Ayoko ng ganyang suot mo. Mag-jeans ka na lang. You're not even the one I'm bargaining to them. Make yourself presentable and decent, atleast." Inggitera talaga itong matandang ito. Palibhasa napaglipasan na ng panahon. Yung kagaya kasi nitong malapit ng mawala sa kalendaryo yung naiinsecure sa mga ganitong itsura na gaya ng sakin. "Ibigay mo na kaya sakin yung kailangan ko sayo para tigilan na natin ito? Sarap mo talagang patayin na lang." Bubulong - bulong na sabi ko. Napapikit na lang ako nang maramdaman na lumulutang na ako sa ere. Damn! "Ang dami mong reklamo." Naiiritang sambit nito. "Let me just show you how tempting you look for me." *

"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."

'I admit... Isa akong magandang babae...' "YUUUUUUUCCKKKK! EWWWWW KADERSDERS!" 'Heh! Tumigil kayo! Masasapak ko lungs niyo!' Okay back to the topic or whatever you call it. Sasabihin ko na lang sa inyo ang totoo. Isa akong panget na babae at may pagka-weird at obssessed sa baril. Isang college student na nag-aaral sa ASH. Isang puppet sa queen tarsier at isang katulong sa mga mag-aaral doon. First day of school of for me... Nang may nakakapagpabagabag na nangyari sa akin... "Ha? Ano? Nakakapagbabagab? Nakakapagkabababab?" 'Che! Tumigil na lang kayo! Walang hiyaaaaaaaaa!' Sigaw ko at hinabol ko sila habang hawak ko ang aking baril. ~~
