Hindi ko agad binuksan ang sobre. Nasa kamay ko lang siya habang naglalakad ako sa campus, parang isang bagay na masyadong magaan para maging importante, pero masyadong mabigat para balewalain. Cream-colored paper, elegant font. May konting amoy ng pabango, hindi ko alam kung sinadya o dahil kay Sophie talaga galing.

Sophia Reyes invites you to her birthday celebration.

Invites you. Ako. Diane Villamonte. Sino ang mag-aakala? She's practically my nemesis and I'm sure she thought the same.

    Hindi ko agad binuksan ang sobre. Nasa kamay ko lang siya habang naglalakad ako sa campus, parang isang bagay na masyadong magaan para maging importante, pero masyadong mabigat para balewalain. Cream-colored paper, elegant font. May konting amoy ng pabango, hindi ko alam kung sinadya o dahil kay Sophie talaga galing.Sophia Reyes invites you to her birthday celebration.Invites you. Ako. Diane Villamonte. Sino ang mag-aakala? She's practically my nemesis and I'm sure she thought the same.Napahinto ako sa gitna ng pathway. Ilang estudyante ang dumaan sa tabi ko, pero hindi ko sila pinansin. Ang tanong lang na paulit-ulit sa utak ko:Bakit?After everything. After the rumors. After the humiliation. After the looks, the whispers, the lies. Why would she invite me?Hindi ako paranoid by nature. Pero kung may isang bagay na natutunan ko kay Sophie, iyon ay ito—wala siyang ginagawa nang walang dahilan. There's something behind this and I just don't know what. But I'm going to find out.I f

  • She Didn't Know He Noticed   Chapter 11

    The next morning, I woke up with a strange calmness in my chest. Yung tipo ng katahimikan na hindi dahil payapa ka… pero dahil alam mong nanalo ka kahit walang nakakaalam pa.And true enough.Pagdating ko sa campus, the air felt different.Parang may nagbabagang balita na hindi pa nasasabi nang malakas pero ramdam mo na sa ambiance. In the hallways, sa cafeteria, sa garden, I could hear scattered whispers, excited laughs, gasps.“Girl, can you believe it? May napili na agad?” “As in? Kahapon lang in-announce ah.” “Sobrang bilis naman…” “Siguro obvious na kasi.” “I mean… sino pa ba ‘di ba?”Rumors. Speculation. Confusion.And one particular name was floating everywhere—kasing gaan ng hangin pero kasing lakas ng kulog.“Sophie.”I didn’t even have to look around to know she was coming.But the students did. All eyes turned to the entrance. And there she was.Sophie Laurent—the queen bee of this academic hive—strutting inside the building like the entire world was her runway. Ang taa

  • She Didn't Know He Noticed   Chapter 10

    Hindi lahat ng digmaan ay may barilan. Hindi lahat ng away ay sigawan. Minsan, ang pinakamalupit na laban ay yung tahimik, yung hindi alam ng kaaway na sinisimulan mo na palang pabagsakin siya.For months, I played the weak one. The victim. The girl who cried too much and apologized too often. The girl Sophie believed she had crushed.Pero ngayon? I am not her victim. I am her karma. And I am going to take everything she valued.Including the one thing she never thought anyone could steal— the scholarship of her dream University.The day our teacher announced the scholarship, halos mapasigaw ang buong classroom sa excitement. Pero mas malakas ang bulung-bulungan.“Sophie na ’yan for sure.”“Siya naman lagi pinipili.”“She’s the student council president. Connections pa.”“Tsaka investors parents niya sa school, diba?”Walang nagtanong kung sino pa ang may chance. Walang ibang pangalan na lumabas sa usapan.Only hers.Sophie glowed, smiling the way a queen does when her crown is alread

    Tahimik lang ako habang naglalakad palabas ng room. My footsteps felt heavy, parang bawat hakbang ay may kaakibat na memorya na kailangan kong bitawan. Sa likod ko, naririnig ko pa yung muffled voices—ang iyak ni Sophie, ang paulit-ulit na pag-assure ni Ryan na “I’ll always choose you.” Para bang echo siya na ayaw mawala kahit anong pilit kong i-shut off.I knew he’d say it. I knew he’d pick her. Pero iba pa rin when you hear it out loud—when you see him wrapping his arms around the girl who destroyed you while everyone watches like you’re the villain.I scoffed. Sarcastic. Bitter. Defensive.Pero pagkalabas ko ng hallway, parang biglang may bumagsak na bigat sa dibdib ko. And for a moment, I didn’t know if I wanted to scream or collapse.“Hey.”I stopped walking.Nasa gilid ko si Sevi, hands in his pockets, ang medyo magulo niyang buhok sumasabay sa hangin mula sa bukas na corridor. His face was softer than usual—less playful, more concerned.“You okay?” tanong niya, voice gentle.I

    Sophie’s voice, small, trembling, poisonous, hung in the air like a blade about to fall.“Ryan… what. Are. You. Doing?”The room froze. Walang gumalaw. Walang huminga. Walang nagsalita.Her hand tightened around the spare key, knuckles whitening. Ryan’s eyes widened, panic flickering across his face like a glitch.“Wait—Sophie, this isn’t—”But Sophie wasn’t listening.Her eyes darted everywhere—Ryan’s hand on my wrist, our barely separated faces, the heat between us na obvious kahit walang salita.She looked like she’d been stabbed.And I didn’t look away. Hindi ako umalis. Hindi ako umatras. Hindi ako tumakbo. Because this wasn’t my shame to carry anymore.It was hers.“Ryan…” Sophie whispered again, voice cracking violently this time. “Why was she—why were YOU—”Ryan stepped back, releasing my wrist as if burned. “Sophie, let me explain—”“No.”Her voice rose, shaking with rage. “No, Ryan. Walang explanation sa nakita ko!”I watched her unravel. Just like she watched me unravel las

    For the rest of the afternoon, I felt eyes on me, hundreds of them.Some curious. Some stunned. Some admiring. Some terrified.But one pair followed me like a shadow.Ryan.With every building I entered, ramdam ko yung presensya niya.With every corner I turned, naririnig ko yung faint echo ng footsteps na alam kong kilala ko.May parang gustong sabihin ang katawan ko na hindi ko maintindihan, akala ko dati kailangan ko siya.Ngayon, kailangan niya ako.At yun ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ako pumipihit pabalik.Hindi pa… but I knew this moment would come.When classes ended, I walked toward one of the empty consultation rooms near the library—mahaba ang hallway, tahimik, at walang masyadong dumadaan. Perfect place to breathe.Perfect place for confrontation.Pagpasok ko, sinara ko ang pinto at huminga ng malalim, leaning against the desk. The sunlight from the window hit my hair in a way I barely recognized.This was not the Diane who begged him. This Diane had leverage.I was placing

    Hindi ako nakatulog.Or kung nakatulog man ako, siguro mga sampung minuto lang ’yun, yung tipong pagkapikit mo, may konting pahinga sa utak, tapos biglang babalik yung kaba, parang alarm clock na walang snooze.Pagmulat ko, madilim pa rin sa kwarto. Alam kong maaga pa, pero hindi ko na mababalik an

  • She Didn't Know He Noticed   Prologue

    Rain has always been honest with me.It doesn’t pretend. It doesn’t sugarcoat. It doesn’t say “I’m fine” when it’s breaking inside. When it falls, it falls, diretso, walang pasikot-sikot. Tonight, as I sit by the window of my small dorm room, watching the raindrops blur the campus lights, I feel th

    The hallway earlier seemed shocked, parang nag-apocalypse.The moment Sophie froze in front of me, the energy in the entire welcome area shifted. Students stopped walking. Others literally stepped back. Yung iba tahimik, yung iba nakanganga, and a few even took out their phones. May nakatutok na ca

  • She Didn't Know He Noticed   Chapter 5

    When Ryan walked away with Sophie clinging to him like she owned him, like she won, something inside me didn’t just break. It collapsed. Parang bumagsak ang buong mundo ko sa isang iglap.After he disappeared into the crowd, the hallway slowly returned to its usual noise, but none of it sounded rea
