The Path That Leads To You

Napabalikwas ng bangon si Jester nang marinig niya ang tunog ng cellphone niya. "F**k! Who the hell called me this early?" he said while his eyes were still closed, he looked at the screen, it shows that mommy Anna is the caller. "Yes Mom, napatawag ka?" He asked crookedly on the other line. "Good morning son, Are you alright? Did you know how worried I was last night? I called Almera because I couldn't reached you, she said you got into trouble in the parking lot at the bar yesterday?" He heaved a deep sigh. Almera is such a pain in the ass! She really can't keep a secret! he hissed in his mind. "Mom, don't worry okay? hindi na po ako bata, Isa pa hindi naman ako ang nag-umpisa ng away, you know that right?" he replied. Even though he has a background in taekwondo, he never used his physical strength to fight anyone unless the opponent start it first, he might be forced to defend himself, because he knew that self - control should always comes before p

Emerald's POV Nakaparada ang sasakyan na ginamit namin, issue 'yon sa kumpanya na pinagtratrabahoan ni papa. Bumungad samin ang magarbong dekorasyon na nakapaligid sa mansiyon. Marami - rami rin ang bisita doon, abala ang lahat sa pakikipag - usap na may kanya - kanyang hawak na inumin. Halata na mga mayayamang tao ang dumadalo doon, Tingin ko ay kami lang ang hindi mayaman na nakadalo dito. Lahat ng mga guest ay naka formal attire, ang mga bisitang lalaki ay nakasuot ng itim na tuxedo at naka long gown naman ang mga babae. Naglalakad kami papunta sa bakanteng mesa, I was wearing a black glittery halter cocktail dress that emphasize my curve, kaya ko ring makipag sabayan sa mga mayayaman noh? Kasalukuyan kaming nakaupo mag - anak sa lamesa nang may napansin akong lalaking papalapit sa amin tantiya ko'y may edad na mahigit singkwenta anyos pero kitang - kita parin sa pangangatawan nito ang kakisigan. "Kompadre, kumusta na?" rinig kong sambit ng lalaki. "Mabuti parin kompadr

Emerald's POVPagbaba ko ng jeep ay halos takbuhin ko na ang pasilyong dinadaanan ko dahil sa pagmamadali, malapit na kasi akong ma late sa klase, masyado yata akong napuyat kagabi sa pagre - review, kaya madaling araw na ako nakatulog. Mabuti nalang at biyernes ngayon at naka P.E uniform ako kaya malaya akong nakakatakbo. Hindi na rin ako nakapag breakfast dahil sa takot kong mahuli sa klase, nagmamadali ako kaya hindi ko namalayan na may humarang sa tapat ng dinadaanan ko, agad akong nag - angat ng tingin at bumungad sa'kin ang gwapong mukha ni Albie Cuevas, isang varsity player ng basketball sa paaralan namin. Matangkad ito, moreno, matangos ang ilong at may manipis at mapupulang labi at higit sa lahat ay crush ng campus at nag - iisang anak ng mayor dito sa lugar namin. "Hi Ems, nagmamadali ka yata?" tanong sa'kin ni Albie."Uh.. Late na kasi ako," tugon ko. Akmang tatakbo na ako nang biglang kinabig ni Albie ang kamay ko, kumunot ang noon ko sa ginawa niya, but before I could r

Jester's POV As we walked towards the gym, I asked the dean if I could choose a student who can tour me around the entire school. I'm a transferee student so I want to make friends with everyone, most especially to Emerald. "Ma'am, may I ask for a favor? can you make the SSG president tour me inside the school?" I shamelessly asked the dean. "Sure Iho, I can make an announcement for that!" she grinned in reply showing her white teeth. The moment I stepped in front of the stage, all I can hear was the loud squealing and screaming of the crowd, I just simply smile at everyone while my eyes were searching for Emerald. I also found out from the dean that she also belonged to STEM strand. We could've possibly be classmates! Geez! After the school tour, we decided to go to our respective rooms, when Emerald noticed that I kept on following her. I saw her glaring at me as I put a smile on my lips. Ugh! Ang hirap naman niya paamuhin! Nang malaman namin na magkaklase

Emerald's POVNamangha ako sa ganda ng paligid, overlooking ito which is good for relaxation, there also has a glass - enclosed Skybar Cafe on the upper floors where you can see the breathtaking views."Ang ganda dito!" I exclaimed in amusement."Never been here?" tanong niya sa'kin sa likuran ko. Tumango lang ako bilang tugon, taga rito ako pero first time ako makarating dito, home, school lang kasi ang daily routine ko, unlike other teenagers na makakalakwatsa tuwing walang pasok. I was so amazed at the views, I suddenly noticed a male waiter approached us towards the table. I thought it was just a normal thing for a waiter to accompany us as their costumer but I was surprised when he asked Jester if he's going to stay a night at his penthouse. Tiningnan kong maigi si Jester pero hindi niya tinugonan ang tanong ng waiter. So, sa kanila pala to? Gaano kaya sila ka yaman? tanong ko sa isip ko, habang magkaharap kaming umupo sa table. We became silent at the moment, pero upang mabasag
