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 POV Napilitan akong sumang-ayon sa offer ni Jester maging alipin niya ng isang buwan, pinagsisihan ko ang ginawa ko sa kaniya, it was a failed revenge resulted to a reverse outcome I least expected. "Now, give me your phone number," he commanded. I furrowed my eyebrows, but before I could react he already reached his phone to me and said, "I should have your number in case I need you to run an errands for me," This jerk is getting into my nerves! I frowned in disbelief and heaved a deep sigh and started typing my number. ***** I was about to sleep when I suddenly heard my phone rang, I looked at the screen, it was unregistered number. I didn't pick it up, I know it was Jester who called me dahil siya lang naman ang binigyan ko ng number aside from my family and friends. I let it rang for a couple of times hanggang sa matapos ang pagtunog, agad kong kinuha ang cellphone ko and it beep once more, I recieved a message and I immediately opened it. "Pre
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
Chapter 9 Emerald's POV Three weeks passed by, Jester and I became close to each other, we always hangout inside and outside school. We often spend time doing our homework and research paper in the library. He has a bright personality and he's fun to be with, malayo sa inakala kong maging boring ang pakikisama ko sa kaniya, but now that I think about my "slave duties" has to end very soon, it makes me sad. We often talked about his past life in Manila, how he stopped his music career and ended up here in the province. He even mentioned to me his childhood friend, Almera that I would definitely like to be friends with. After our class ended, Jester always drive me home so I wouldn't have trouble commuting. This man has always showed me sweet gestures, and it gives me butterflies in the stomach, is it safe to say that I'm starting to like him? Nakaharap ako sa vanity mirror habang nagsusuklay sa aking mataas at makintab na buhok. Magpa practice kami nga

She looked so sexy, though she's slim but she has the curves and right body proportions, she can passed as a underwear model, she also has a nice complexion, makinis ito maputi, pang mayaman ganern! "Hi, you must be Emerald?" tanong ng babae sa'kin. "Uh.. yes," sagot ko at alanganing ngumiti. "I'm Almera, It's nice to finally meet you," sabi niya habang nakalahad ang kaniyang mga kamay. Tinanggap ko naman iyon. "Nice to meet you too," I responded and smile at her. "Jester talked alot about you, and he's right, you're gorgeous," direktang papuri nito sa'kin, I'm flattered! I can feel my cheeks started to blush. "He often talked about me?" nagtatakang tanong ko. Hindi kaya may gusto rin si Jester sa'kin? tanong ko sa isip. Sana nga! "Yes, I think he really li-" "Mera, you shut up
Jester's POVAfter I played basketball, I went straight to the library para doon na hintayin si Emerald dahil may sasabihin ako sa kaniya. I looked at my wrist watch, it's already four in the afternoon. Wala naman masyadong estudyante kaya umupo ako sa upuan, kumuha ako ng libro. I read a literature book until I felt that my eyelids gets heavy hanggang sa nakatulog na ako. Pagmulat ko ng mata ay si Emerald ang una kong nakita na nakakita sa'kin, hindi siguro niya ako napansin kaya I slowly lift my head closer to her face when she suddenly taken aback and quickly stood up. Maging ako ay nagulat rin sa naging inasta ko. I tried to kiss her! I shouldn't act that way! kailangan ko siyang respetuhin dahil deserve niya iyon!I want to ask her to go out with me but I can't tell her, natotorpe ako!

Almera's POVLumipas ang mga araw na hindi ko na nakakasama si Jester, I'm not used on living on my own, all my life, he was with me pero ngayon ay nagbago na ang lahat. I feel lost!Madalas akong malungkot tuwing vacant time ko dahil wala na akong kukulitin, may mga naging kaibigan rin naman ako dito sa school ko pero iba parin kung si Jester ang kasama ko, kaya para hindi ko siya masyadong ma-miss, I loaded myself with school stuff. I was listening to my professor's lecture when I felt dizzy, napahawak ako sa ulo ko. Ang sakit! parang gusto ko nalang iuntog ang ulo ko para maibsan ang sakit, nasobrahan siguro ako sa pagpupuyat dahil sa mga school projects ko. Narinig ko pa si ma'am na may sinasabi, tumayo ako upang mag-excuse but everything turned blurry and I fainted. Nagising ako na nakahiga sa Infirmary bed, hindi na masakit ang ulo ko pero nahihilo parin ako, I felt weak buti nalang at dinala ako dito. Agad akong tumayo nang biglang nagsalita ang school nurse.
