CELESTE
"I'll go to the library first before going to our classroom. Nine o'clock pa naman 'yung start ng exam, right?"
Kelly is taking a bath, Clio is busy studying while Ashanti is already at the coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee. We were all busy and panicking because the midterm exam is just right around the corner.
Though I trust my knowledge, I am still nervous of what might happen. This is my last chance— and I can't miss it. Not today.
"Pupuntahan mo ba si Markus?" Clio asked while I'm wearing my shoes.
I nodded. "We agreed to meet. I won't help him, though. We are just going to study a little bit before the test."
"Baka makasalubong mo si Jarvis, tell him to study. Baka bumagsak pa 'yun nang wala sa oras. Mahirap na, mainit pa naman ang dugo ng Mommy niyo sa kaniya," bilin niya.
"Kahit naman hindi mo sabihin, sasabihin ko pa rin. At isa pa

CELESTEMy footsteps were heavy while walking at the school's corridor. The view of the sun setting on our west gives color to the dull sky— but it won't give color to mine.I bit my lower lip as my hands squeezed into fists. I cannot believe this."Celeste," Clio called me.I heaved a sigh before looking at her and Kelly. "What?"She looked at me with her eyes full of worry. Nag-iwas naman ako ng tingin."What are you going to do?" she asked.I swallowed the lump on my throat. "Wala na naman akong magagawa, hindi ba? We already missed the test. That's it."Kelly wiped her cheeks as a new batch of tears started to roll down. Bumuntong hininga naman ako. What's the point of crying? At this point, we already knew that we lost our spot.We are out of T

CELESTE"Are you sure that this plan would work, Celeste?" I sighed and looked at Kelly once again. "You know what, if you don't trust me, then you can leave," iritable kong sabi.She pouted before highlighting her notes once again. Of course, she won't leave. This is our only chance to claim our spot from those traitors."I am supposed to go London right now," Kelly uttered."Walang holiday pagdating sa pag-aaral, Kelly.""Ugh! This is so irritating na. For sure, nagsasaya na sina Kenley kasama sina Mommy at Daddy sa London tapos ako, nandito sa Pilipinas at nag-aaral," reklamo niya."Kelly, we need to do this. Gusto mo bang bawiin ang puwesto mo o hindi?" Ashanti told Kelly."At isa pa, puwede ka namang pumunta sa London anytime. Those leisure activities can wait," segunda naman ni Clio.

CELESTE"Are you really fine?"I sighed for the umpteenth before looking at Kelly. "I'm already said that I am fine, right?""I didn't know that she's hurting you." Umangkla siya sa braso ko at isinandal ang kaniyang ulo sa aking balikat.Napailing naman ako. "That rarely happens. Don't worry.""But still..."I sighed and gave her a lop-sided smile. "Don't pity me."She pouted. "It's not that I pity you. I'm just worried," giit niya."You don't have to.""Anong kadramahan 'to?" tanong ni Clio pagkababa sa kotse nila."Just Kelly acting like a baby," sagot ko."Bakit hindi pa kayo pumapasok sa loob?" Clio asked and raked her fingers through her hair. Nagf-fade na rin ang buhok niya na kulay pink kaparehas ng kay Jarvis."We are waiting for you and Ashanti to come," Kelly answered."Yeah, she insisted na sabay-sabay dapat tayo," dugtong ko.Maloko namang ngumiti si Clio. "Sweet niyo naman!"Napailing ako kasabay ng marahang pagtawa. Maya-maya pa ay dumating na rin si Ashanti na prenteng

CELESTEI sipped on my milk while staring out of nowhere, trying to think if we are really ready for the challenge."Earth to Celeste! Hey!" I blinked a few times and looked at Kelly confusedly."Yes?""You're sulking. What's the matter?" she asked."I'm just... You know, nervous I guess?"She chuckled. "Oh come on! Ikaw pa, kakabahan? You're the smartest out of all of us.""You're bluffing again," I retorted and sipped on my milk again."The line up is already decided, right?" Ashanti asked while drinking her iced coffee.I nodded. "Are you confident?""Of course, I am. History is a piece of cake," she answered."You're lucky," Kelly said

CELESTEI let out a harsh breath as a sign of relief while walking at the corridor together with my friends. The news of the removal of The Rank Five system spread like a wild fire not only in Avalon High but also outside.As usual, some of the students are already gossiping things about us— which I don't mind at all. Everyone have a different opinion and I respect that.However, I stand tall and firm on my belief. The removal of The Rank Five system may not benefit the school like the previous school years but it would surely benefit the mental health of the students.A school is a place to learn and discover new things. It should not be a place for competitions that may affect the well-being of the student inside and outside the school premises. A school is a place to earn new friends that might last a lifetime and it shouldn't be a place for rivalry."I think some people are cursing us on their minds," Kelly whi

EPILOGUE CELESTE "You really bad mouthed Markus on National TV a while ago, huh?" I leaned against my chair and crossed my arms. "Nagsabi lamang ako ng totoo," giit ko. "Why are you like that ba? You looked so grumpy," tanong ni Kelly at uminom sa binili niyang frappe. "Try mo kayang tumingin sa labas. Nakakatakot 'yung mga fans mo," reklamo ko. She chuckled. "Hindi naman sila makakapasok dito sa loob. Don't worry," she said and smiled on the camera outside. Napailing naman ako. She's really fond of cameras now. Parang dati, papageant-pageant lang siya sa mga school. Tapos ngayon, artista na. Kelly Eiryne Carson, one of the highest paid actress in the country. "Balita ko you'll join Binibining Pilipinas. Is that true?" tanong ko. Tumingin siya sa akin at ng

CLIO"Does your Mom already knew that you stole Celeste's spot?"He chuckled. "Siyempre hindi.""Why didn't you tell her?""Maybe because at some point, I wanted her to be proud of me. Even though I grew up apart from her, I still love her. Just like every other child, I want to feel loved by her just like how I love her."I let out a harsh breath. "You did well," I uttered.He looked at me confusedly. "Bakit naman? I broke your trust, right?""But atleast you did your best to make up from your mistake. That's enough."The corner of his lips quirked up. "Gusto mo talaga ako eh, ano?"Napailing naman ako at sinamaan siya ng tingin. "Gago," bulong ko."Pero kung hindi mo ako gusto..."Taka akong tumingin sa kaniya. "Ano?"

KELLY"So, what are we doing here?" I asked as I roamed my eyes around the restaurant."To eat?" he asked sarcastically.I rolled my eyes and glared at him. "Puwede bang umayos ka kahit for today lang?"He chuckled. "I'm just stating a fact, sweetheart.""As far as I know, I never agreed to be your sweetheart.""You don't like it? Alright, babe."Muli kong iniikot ang mga mata ko. "Can you just stop flirting at me? Hindi ka funny.""Sigurado kang hindi ka natutuwa?"Awtomatikong tumaas ang kilay ko nang magsalita siya ng Tagalog. He's still sounds awkward speaking it but he improved."Hindi," sagot ko.He let out a soft chuckle. "Suit yourself, sweetheart.""I'm not your sweetheart nga, okay? Hindi ba magagal
