The Unwanted

"Jane, how are you feeling right now?" That's the first thing my grandmother Flores asked me as we started eating in front of our table. I smiled at her and swallowed first the bread that I'm eating. "I'm perfectly fone grandma, just busy with the school work though," I answered. " Are you sure you don't want to go back to your real family, Jane? It's been two years." " I don't want to, grandma," I said, sighing. Bitterness can be felt as I said that. "I wish, you can decide now Jane. You know that I can't take care of you anymore before I'm aging,"she laughed as she told me that, but I can feel the sadness evident on her eyes. "Grandma, don't say that." I went to her side and hug her. This is my only way to thank her endlessly for being with me for the past few years. "You knew that they can easily find you, Jane," she warned, seriousnes

I don't know why my heart beats like that. All my life I hadn't felt that way before. Those smile is so handsome. Everything about him is very attractive. I can't deny that he's a full package. From those thick eyebrows, long eye lashes, pointed nose, and red kissable lips. I just watched him then while I was close to my behavior as if my eyes were only on him. Do I have a crush on him? I don't know. I just find him attractive though. I never had a crush on someone either. I don't know this weird feeling I feel right now. I can't explain it.  I am in my room, reading my notes for our reporting tomorrow. Cheska sent this notes yesterday yet I didn't review it i just recently saw her message to me.   The next day I hurriedly going ro school. I did not realize the time. It's already 7:54 in the morning and our class starts at 7:30. I was outside o

"Are you okay, Cheska?" I asked her when we reached their garden. We sat on the hammock attached to the tree, it had a lot of space so we both fit. I saw her alone hete so it was better to talk to her about something that was bothering her. It's garden is also simple and clean. The plants are well arranged and can be seen to be well cared for. Maybe Mom Rosy takes care of them. Cheska turned her gaze to me and her eyes were sad. Her situation can be seen to be very difficult. I wonder where's her mother? If she comes, he may be here or maybe she is in another house if there is one. "I'm thinking of m-mommy," she said softly. "She didn't come here because we have another house, but when I think of my dad who is in the States, I also want to go with her. It's hard to choose the people who's very important to you." "They need to know Cheska. I know they can understand." I am pertaining to our friends. M

"Mom." I just stared at her, shocked and confused as to why she's here at school. I do not know what to say at this time. It's been a month since I last saw her. She's been with Ethan's mother that time. I didn't expect to see her in our school. Wait, was this the famous student here then? "Mrs. Valdez," I heard ma'am call then shut up. My mother just turned to her. "You may take your seat so that we can discuss about Jane." I was nervous about what ma'am said. Why? I did nothing wrong here at school. I have not even participated in pageants since then unless the teacher himself will take me just like the MTAP competition. "Is she doing fine studying here?" Mommy asked. I then looked at ma'am who just motioned me to sit in the chair opposite her. I just followed and sat down. "She's been doing fine. She's also one of the dean lister of th

I am with Zaine.  He's alone now and been avoiding us since the day Cheska left. He's been always distant himself to us as if no one cares for him. We're here in a park. Trees surrounding us with lights over it. The street lights are aligned parallel to each other. Benches were placed around a big plaza. People can picnic here and it's always open for everyone. This place is simple, yet very special for Zaine. He's always here, sitting alone on a bench and will just stargazing.  I bring my sketch pad with me. This is also one my hobby aside from being a fangirl and a bookworm. I like to draw things and people around. It's already 9 in the evening yet I'm still outside. I told my grandmother that I would let the air out first because it was close to our house. After Cheska left unexpectedly, I'm always seeing Zaine here. I didn't follow him secretly though. It's just a coincidence that I alw
