CHAPTER TWELVE
They were still at the library when Erika disturbed the focus of her friend. "Do you have any watch?"
Via had regained her sense of the present time. Still, she continued her observation on the works of Angela. "What for?"
"I want to know if it is recess time already," Erika answered.
"I'm sure there is one here in the library," Via responded with no interest in her tone of voice.
Erika observed her surroundings while she remained seated beside Via; she failed to see any clock hanged on the wall.
"Are you done reading?" Erika asked, "I think you can still borrow it and return it on the recognition date since you are one of the awardees. I mean, if you lost your copy."

She carefully placed the diary back in her friend's bag and zipped the zippers. A few seconds next, Erika finally entered the classroom again. She bought four packs of Bread Pan of different flavors and an empty tetra pack of orange juice. Via was about to feel the excitement that there is someone again to talk to and then, she remembered she had read her friend's diary. "What did you do the whole time? Did you sit there in silence?" Erika asked as she sat on her armchair. "I think you know me well." Via wanted to express her feelings yet was afraid that it would tarnish her image. "I took a long time because I met Angela halfway. We almost talked behind your back." Erika laughed as she made the joke. However, Via was not happy about it. Via faked a smile towards the statement as her response. It did not bring any suspicion to her friend. A second of silence passed; both of them felt it too awkward. "By the way, my family and I are going to move to a
Via's Masterpiece CHAPTER ONE
As Via gently strokes her paintbrush on her canvas with ease, she can feel the serenity of blue, the renewal and growth of the life of green, the orange's prosperity and passion, and the merriment and excitement of pink. Creating a painting of quite a calm blue atmosphere with a fresh mint green field underneath and rich blossom on a bright-colored illustration gives soothing resiliency to her mental tension. On the thick-sized canvas made of cotton, she painted the skies in a pale shade of blue, clouds in unpigmented color, two partnered mountains of the same size in various shades of brown, tall and bushy trees in green. The large size had green grasses planted on the flat ground alongside the Daisies, Chrysanthemums, Roses, Sampaguita, Santans, Gumamela, and Tulips. In the center of the field was the running river that flows from the mountains. The pigment of each subject shows the representation of her expression. Her aim to manifest her emotions through a masterpiece is
Via's Masterpiece CHAPTER TWO
Via rolled over and decided to look at the ceiling as she believed that what she had seen will disappear soon. It even attempted to cuddle her with its grip; she felt its touch crawling onto her skin as its hug became tighter. She laid sight on her masterpieces again with the expectation that her hallucination will fade. However, in her great astonishment, her eyes were still in their phase of deceiving her sense of reality. The eight paintings on the wall that were deemed perfect for her sight have drastically changed as its dry paint slowly melted. The vibrant colors on the canvas vanished that not a single trace of any color is visible; it had turned to a complete whiteness - wholly empty and unpigmented. She slowly attempted to investigate the floor to see where the spilled paint fell but to no avail, for the floor remain spotless of any kind.

Despite Angela's efforts to invite Via into her group of friends, the lack of common interest in other aspects between the two of them sets them apart. Angela, defined by her classmates to be friendly and diligent in school works, was perceived to show interest, aside from drawing, towards watching anime series, sports-like activities, and collecting insects such as may beetles, spiders, grasshoppers, butterflies, and so on in a jar with the exception to flies, mosquitos, and cockroaches. She would accompany a larger group of friends where she showed confidence in their company. It disgusted Via as she, on the other hand, displayed fascination towards reserved and feminine traits. She prefers to confine herself to watching her favorite cartoon shows on a television channel and movies on DVD, reading comics and children's books such asAng Mga Alamat

The following day around January in 2007, Via attended her classes with the absence of her school notebooks that made her everyday bag less weighted; she only brought a pencil case filled with pencils, a sharpener, erasers, and a red ballpoint. Via was nervous as she walked to the hall for the regular morning assembly at their school. She questioned herself how will she perform in activities if she had no school notebook. Concurrently, she had the feeling of ease because she carried less weight of the bag. It was the first day in her entire school life that she did not bring a single notebook, for she routinely brought the weighty nine school notebooks for the whole weekdays in the past three years. For their schedule during that day, they had Christian Living Education, Filipino, English, Philippine History and Culture, Home Economics, Mathematics, and Science - all of the subjects for which she had no more notebook to use.
Via's Masterpiece CHAPTER FIVE
Within the four walls of her bedroom, she wished to make new sketches with her art materials. Such a feeling of eagerness quickly faded. The mood for sleep, the intense and horrific emotions within her heart came. She made sure to lock the doorknob of her bedroom and placed the heavy chair after the door. She walked to her bed, laid her weary body down, and stayed quiet as much as she could in fear that her impostor would enter her room and decide to do a crime on her, any crime that is possible at the moment. A total of ten minutes have passed inside; boredom began to strike. Via now wanted to turn on the television inside her room to watch some cartoon shows. The noise that it might produce prevented her so. She was not in a good mood to read either a magazine or a comic book. Soon the heat became intolerable for her. She felt an excessive amount of sweat on her skin. Such appalling heat conditions evoked her to turn on the air conditioner. When she walked back to her bed,

The next day, Via attended her school. During the subject time, Erika informed her on what school works they did yesterday, gave her the handout papers intended for her since, in their school, nobody took down notes; each of them gets a handout about the discussion. Erika informed Via about the lessons yesterday for her friend never had to miss the academics. Since Via did not request her friend for such action, this bored her to death. Via spent her recess time with Erika. They both agreed to spend their free time at the library and sat with Angela and her group of friends. Via was silent most of the time as Erika shared the circumstances that happened yesterday. Erika talked with Angela and her group of friends regarding the latest episode of Angelic Ray that was aired yesterday on television. Everyone in the group talked about the anime series except for Via. A few seconds later into the topic, Erika noticed that her closest friend had been speechless the whole time and j
Via's Masterpiece CHAPTER SEVEN
Via could not prevent herself from the vivid recollection of her childhood in her dreams. When she opened her eyes, she knew that she chose to sleep in the living room only to have found that she has entered into one of her masterpieces; she had found herself to be on a field of grasses with numerous flowers. As she rose, she recognized the flowers she had recently painted - the Sampaguita, the Santan, the roses, the Gumamela, the Chrysanthemum, the Daisies, and the Tulips of various pigments from white to pink to red. She observed her surroundings for the second time to have an assurance of her thought - she had seen the similar two partnered mountains and the flowing river with the harsh sounds of the waves. The glowing sunlight that brought an intolerable amount of humidity onto her skin caused her to wake up from her sleep and physical weakness in her wake time. She examined the new place. It was an environment of green nature, the two partnered mountains from afar cover
