DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
It's Friday, and I have to travel to school even if I only have a few hours of sleep, barely 2-3 hours. We arrive home at midnight, but it's not why I lack sleep; it was Maddox's confession, and to add it up is Cassy's leaflet she handed me.
"Angel, breakfast, make it fast; you'll be late for school."
"Coming"
I only have 30 minutes, so I pick the cereals instead of having a formal Filipino dinner. Mom reheated the food from last night's event, but I don't find them appetizing. I can't be late for school today.
"Angel, what exactly is your relationship with Maddox?"
I pause before putting cereal in my mouth. "Relationship? What do you mean, mom?"

I stand my ground while Cassy's friends are panicking about what to do with her. Even some of our classmates are helping them. "Give us some air," Scarlett shouted. "You will pay for this transferee; you will surely pay for this," Chloe said as she greeted her teeth. The three of them are glaring at me like their eyes are about to puke. "Angel?" "Mad?" Maddox grabs my right hand, the one I used to hit Cassy. He softly massages the swollen part of it. "Why
YOU ARE MY SUN IT'S NOT OVER
Ms. Ruby seems to be losing her patience, massaging her temple."Angel, go on.""Thank you, Ms. Ruby. Cassy and her friends have been bullying me from the very beginning, and I never retaliate as I don't want to tarnish my reputation on this campus, especially that I am a new student here. They insult me for being poor and even included my mother for calling her names which pains me to hear. I wouldn't mind if they targeted me, not my mom. I already warned Cassy and her friends not to spit lies about my mom. The first time Cassy made a false accusation of me was when she spread the news that I snatched her boyfriend from her, which is not true.""Liar, Ms. Ruby, she's a liar.""Cassandra, you can speak in a lower tone; we can hea
YOU ARE MY SUN I CAN'T RESIST YOU
I can't resist Maddox's invites to the man-made forest on our campus. Besides the fact that I love staying here, I don't want to disappoint him this time. I've seen his sad eyes early in the morning when I ask him to distance a little bit. That's not happening this afternoon.The whole campus is at its finest after all the students have left the school. Only a few of us must still be here. The tweets of the bird and the noise of the twigs and leaves smashing the wind sound soothing. Students have been missing a lot by not staying in this place more often."You do love to be here, don't you?"I take a deep breath of fresh air before I open my eyes and shift to Maddox. "I do, I really do. Thanks for bringing me here."
YOU ARE MY SUN CONFRONTATION
Almost 7 in the evening when I get to our apartment building. I felt hesitant to enter our apartment unit; even in the elevator, I formulated the right words to ask mom concerning my father's whereabouts. It is hard for me to doubt mom's honesty, but things add up, and no matter how I tried to calculate, my biggest fear seems to be true. And worst, it came from the bullies on our campus; it was sort of a blessing in disguise that I found it out. Although I am not excited to be with my father, I am good without him in my life. Only to answer my questions is enough for me. Before my thoughts run deeper, I twist open the doorknob to finally face mom and talk about my father. There she goes, in the kitchen, cooking dinner as usual. "Angel? Why are you late?
YOU ARE MY SUN SHOULDER TO LEAN ON (BEST FRIEND)
I wake up with my eyes a little heavy; I can feel it swells when I touch it with my fingertips. My sight lands on the white ceiling again; it's the only way I find peace, looking at the unknown and doing nothing. My back hurts a little when I get up, and I feel lazy. It must be a lack of sleep; if I can recall correctly, at 2 in the morning, I was still as awake as an owl."Angel?" Mom called out my name. She must be preparing for work at this time. It's 7 in the morning when I glance at the wall clock.I'm not answering her and will come out when she's out for work. It's Saturday anyway."Angel, your breakfast is ready; help yourself. I have to go to work."Still, I stay silent in my room so she would think I'm sle

After what Lea saw on my phone, we agreed to thoroughly investigate what was happening between mom and dad and why they keep secrets from me. The anticipation of knowing the truth and the anxiousness are both killing me at the same time. I have never felt like this before. I'm only 17, and it seems to me that the world's weight is on my shoulder. "Alright, your mom has agreed, so you'll be sleeping with me tonight, and we can start with our investigation project tomorrow. How does it sound?" When Lea taps my shoulder after she gives mom a call about letting me stay for a night, I come to my senses. "Great. Thanks, Lea."

I don't have the strength to face mom after what I learned yesterday. All those things have not yet sunk in my system; everything happens so fast. My heart still aches after mom broke my trust, but the doubt that there must be something she's hiding is growing more and more. Mom is not the kind who hides things from me.

Students gather in the gym to start with the sports week ceremony. Unlike our gym in my former school, the gym is not crowded, where we had to squeeze ourselves to get a spot on the audience. The opening is more lavish than what we had in public school.It's pretty close to the national sports opening ceremony. To be honest, the show is spectacular. Still, my mind is on the other side of the campus, in the basketball court where Maddox and Luke had to do a last-minute practice.I sense Samantha squeeze my lap. "Angel, are you having fun?""Yeah, very entertaining."Sam laughs at me. "Are you sure? You seem bothered. What's wrong?""Nothing, let's watch the
