"THE one there is already in love." Maggie teased her.
"No!" Alyssa refused, She didn't want to admit to her friend how she felt for Carlos.
"Your answer sounds like it's out of your nose," Maggie added and stood up. "You look good together, you're both beautiful and handsome, you're both talented. Most of all, you have the same passion!"
Alyssa also got up and followed her friend who was already sitting on the bed. Alyssa also sat next to her.
Maggie opened both arms and lay down on the bed.
"Don't worry Maggie, when Carlos becomes my boyfriend you'll be the first to know," Alyssa said almost in a whisper as she stared at the ceiling.
Maggie sat up in bed at what she heard.
"You said you didn't like Carlos, but you hoped Carlos would be your boyfriend," Maggie laughed out loud.
Alyssa seemed embarrassed. She took the pillow and slapped it on her friend
Maggie also picked up a pillow and slapped Alyssa as well. And when the
AT EIGHT o'clock in the evening while having dinner, Daisy mentioned her plan to go home the next day."Why Daisy?" Gregorio asked the girl. He reached for the table napkin and wiped his mouth.Some students stopped chewing food on what Daisy said, apart from Maureen and Charlotte who first found out about Daisy's plan."Why Daisy, is there a problem?" Asked Alyssa."Did Alyssa and I do something you didn't like?" Maggie asked. She carefully placed the spoon on the side of the plate. Maggie just thought Daisy might be mad at them. Because they were noisy, especially to her, Daisy might feel like she was out of place."Of course not!" Daisy laughed. "My dad is in the hospital.""Is that so, so sad. What happened to him?" Alyssa continues eating her dinner."Mild stroke," Daisy answered.Daisy looked at the Artist, he is silent as if it was deep in thought."Sir?" Daisy calls attention to him. The Artist seemed surprised. "I
"OF COURSE NOT, SIR," Daisy answered promptly. "I'll hang that on the wall inside my room Sir!" the girl added that she could not hide the joy she felt."Then go ahead and sign the painting."The girl also complied and did not even think of the disaster that awaited her."Done!" The girl said happily after writing her full name at the bottom of the painting.Daisy handed the paintbrush to the artist, but as she stood up she felt dizzy. She clung so tightly to the frame of the canvas."I'm dizzy Sir," Daisy said with her hands on her forehead. She could feel it spinning all around. "What's going on?" Daisy asked the artist nervously. She glanced at him and saw that the artist seemed excited as he watched her."That's how it feels at first, you feel dizzy. Until you feel like you're slowly entering the painting!" Gregorio pointed to the painting with a hole in the middle like a whirlwind."What do you mean?" The girl asked. She wa
Alyssa was again horrified to see the statue sitting inside the cabinet again. "Why does Sir have that, it's scary!""Alyssa helps us, have mercy on us," they begged her.She looked at Sofia's face. She was sad and her eyes were blurred with tears."What do you mean? How can I help you?" she asked them but they did not say a word.Sofia just handed her the three paintings. At first, she was hesitant to accept the held by Sofia. Alyssa was nervous that the artist might catch up with them and get caught tampering with the paintings.Alyssa took a deep breath before accepting the painting Sofia was holding, then she suddenly disappeared from her sight. She was surprised when Sofia disappeared in front of her, she could not speak."Sofia?"For a moment Alyssa seemed to feel the surroundings spinning. She felt dizzy so she held on tightly to the painting.Alyssa sat on the floor while holding the paintings tightly, she closed her eyes to suppress the dizziness she
"ALYSSA, wake up!" Maggie said as she continued to shake her friend's shoulder who was still moaning and mentioning Daisy's name.Maggie was nervous when she still didn't wake up her friend, out of fear that she might not wake up at all and thought of slapping her."What are you planning to do?" Alyssa asked her friend as she woke up to see Maggie as if she was going to be slapped.Maggie was surprised when Alyssa spoke, she quickly put down her right hand."I've been trying to wake you up for a while but you didn't wake up, I'm nervous so I planned to slap you," Maggie confessed to her.Alyssa sat up slowly on the bed, she covered her face with her hand. She tried to remember her dream. Alyssa felt Maggie's arm on her shoulder so she turned to look at her."What else did you dream about?" Maggie asked her."I dreamed of Sofia, Miguel, and Daisy. They are asking me for help.""Why?" Maggie asked. "It looks like your dream is we
"I think Sir had a good sleep," Charlotte commented noticing that the artist was not yet in his seat."Yeah, he's often the first to come here in the kitchen," Noel said.They were just wondering because it was only now that he was late in their conversation to wake up at the right time. He often went to the kitchen first, but now he is not there yet. At the same time, the students looked at the opening of the kitchen when Mang Nestor entered the kitchen."Sir told me, you should have breakfast before him. He will be waiting for you on the third floor." Said Mang Nestor."Is Sir Gregorio sick?" Alyssa asked. She saw the old man shake his head."He's doing something important," the old man answered and he set the table."At that age, you can still do all the tasks here Mang Nestor," said Maggie."My only job here is cooking, every week someone comes here to clean the whole Mansion." The answer of the old man."Is that so," Maggie replied, nodding her head.
ON the third floor, the students were busy painting the ones they had already drawn. Gregorio, on the other hand, was sitting in his swivel chair watching them carefully. He saw that the students were looking out the window when they heard loud thunder.Suddenly the rain came down, the glass window was closed so the rain could not enter the room."Are you afraid of thunder, do you want me to cover it with a curtain?" Gregorio asked them.The students shook their heads."The rain is a blessing Sir," Noel said with a smile as he focused his eyes on what he was doing, to which his fellow students agreed."All right, continue what you're doing. I'll just leave the room, I just need to ask Mang Nestor to do something.""Go ahead Sir," students answer.Gregorio got up and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he came out without looking at the students.When the artist finally got out of the room, they started making noise."It's good that Sir came o
THE students left the room one after the other, while Gregorio's gaze followed the two students. He tilted his head and closed the door of the room. He didn't think about what he noticed in them.The Artist followed them down the stairs he could see their happy conversation."Have fun, because your hours are numbered! Gregorio whispered happily in the air. He clenched his fist firmly. He could no longer wait, to have another victim. "Who will I follow them?" he was referring to the students and secretly smiled.AFTER lunch, Alyssa and Maggie went to their room while the others were with them, preferring to hang out in the living room while watching the news."There's a storm today," Noel said while sipping hot coffee.Carlos also sipped his coffee before looking at Noel."That's why it's raining non -stop." Carlos looked back at what he was watching on television. "It's bad, other villages in San Victoria town are flooded.""I
"IT'S still raining hard and it looks like it's getting a bit flooded outside the gate." She added when she noticed water entering under the gate of the mansion."Eeehhhh!" They shouted when suddenly there was thunder, followed by lightning. They both knelt and laughed as they crawled back into bed."I just hope the storm doesn't last," Maggie said, Alyssa was about to answer when her cellphone suddenly rang on the dresser. She immediately picked it up and answered the call without being able to find out who the caller was."Hello?" Alyssa started."Hija, how are you there in San Victoria?" asked on the other line. It was her mom who called."Is that your mom?" Maggie asked her in a whisper. She nodded, she put her index finger in her mouth signaling to be quiet for a moment."We're fine mom," she replied to her mother."There is a typhoon in that town, do you want me to send our family driver there, to pick you up?" her mother's voice was worried."Don't wor
