Chapter 21-Jealous
[Vida's Point of View]
"Oh? Vida. Why are you so quick to go home? It's not even five o'clock.""Our adviser sent us home immediately. They said they had a meeting," lied. I can't tell Grandma the truth. She might scold me when she finds out. What I said to Dion earlier was just a joke.Tss. The jerk entered the conversation again."Your arrival is just right. I'm cooking soup. It'll be cooked soon. Change your clothes first, or you might dry out with sweat," she said.I immediately followed her and went to my room. I dropped my body on the bed and closed my eyes.A lot has happened today. It's tiring. It's extremely vexing. I really can't be with Dion for long because I won't stay away from misfortune.It's just like before when I went to their school. It's a good thing Kuya Vincent was there to defend me from those bitches.Later, when he comes home, I should thank him."Oops, there's another one!" Suddenly, another misfortune that Dion had causRelated chapter
When the Artist meets the Poet Chapter 22-That Strange Feeling and Her Plan
[Vida's Point of View]"I shouldn't have done that. Why did I tell him those words? "I sat down on the bench in the waiting shed. There are still many cars passing by, but I chose to walk earlier. And now I regret 'cause it suddenly rained. I was unlucky because I didn't have an umbrella or even a hat. I didn't know it was going to rain because the sun was straight earlier at morning and even in the afternoon.But that's not what I'm most worried about. What I regret more now is what I had said to Dion. It was only now that I was embarrassed and realized what I had told him.It's not true that I have to give a speech tomorrow. In fact, I decided this morning to work there at least until ten o'clock so that I can finish my painting as soon as possible.But suddenly, everything changed because of the strange feeling I had felt. I was so disgusted. And the reason for that is the abomination I witnessed.* Flashback"Vida, how are you?" Manang Felicita greeted me
When the Artist meets the Poet Chapter 23-Can We Be Friends?
[Dion's Point of View]I got into my car and continued searching for Vida. It suddenly rained earlier, so I took shelter at the store I passed. I am worried because Vida might not have gotten into a vehicle and she got wet from the rain.When I returned home earlier, Cindy was gone, said Manang Felicita. Maybe she's searching for me too, because I couldn't get to say goodbye to her earlier.The rain has stopped, but it’s already dark outside.Vida is still occupying my mind. I have a strong feeling that she is just walking.And I wasn't wrong at all because my eyes caught her walking alone in the street.I parked my car and immediately grabbed the umbrella from the back seat I brought in case the rain poured again.I met her because I parked my car ahead of her. Because of the lights coming from the vehicles passing by, I saw how her face reacted when she saw me coming.She looks scared."D-Dion? What are you doing here? " Her voice is trembling.
When the Artist meets the Poet Chapter 24-What Friends Do?
[Vida's Point of View]I woke up to the noise of cars passing by outside. When the sun hit me, I took the pillow and covered it with my face. I'm sure it's nine o'clock in the morning.It's Saturday, so I don't have to worry because there's no school. We just had a performance at Hope and had to choreograph a dance. And my problem was that I'm not good at it.I put my cellphone on the table lamp and narrowed my eyes so I could see the screen. And yeah, I was right because the time was exactly 9 a.m.A few moments later, I got up. I went straight to the bathroom to wash my face.I took the toothbrush and applied toothpaste before brushing my teeth. I looked in the mirror while watching myself. But I suddenly stopped when I realized what I was wearing."Waaaah!!" I couldn’t stop screaming because I remembered what happened last night. I immediately took off the sweater I was wearing."Hey, Vida?! Are you okay there? What's happening? " Grandma from outside the

[Vida's Point of View]"Congrats, Vida!" Faye hugged me tightly, so I did the same."That's enough, I can't breathe," I jokingly told her. But she also got off me and squeezed my cheek lightly. I didn't retaliate either.“You are really great, dear. You are already talented and smart. I really hope I am the same with you! ”I stared at her. "It's just luck, Faye," I countered."Asus!" She then laughed at me. Lola Clarita, who had just signed my card, approached us. "Lola, will Vida have a blow-out later?" Faye asked. I tapped her.I saw Grandma just smile and turn her gaze to me. "Won't you look at your report card, Vida?"I shook my head. I'd rather not look at it because it's unbelievable. I really thought I wouldn't go to honors because I always sleep in class and sometimes I am late submitting assignments and projects. Actually, I'm feeling very fortunate because I've been in the top five."Oh, all right. Faye and I will be ahead of you. I still have to go to the market to buy ingr
When the Artist meets the Poet Chapter 26-His Sus Actions
[Dion's Point of View]"When are you coming back, Gadi?" my Dad asked Tita."Well, when everything's okay, Kuya. I have to take care of our other belongings there in Cavite and our remaining debts. When I come back, I'll look for a job here, and Cindy will continue her studies here, "Tita Gadi explained while looking at her daughter. Daddy and Mom nodded.I shifted my gaze to Cindy, who was hugging Tita. She was now frowning."Cole, could you please keep an eye on my daughter?" I smiled a bit and said yes to her. Even if she doesn't say anything, I always care for Cindy, so I'll really watch over her. We didn't really get along well, but I still love her because she is my cousin. She's only one cousin of mine, and I also appreciate what she does for me. I just can't help but feel bad for her when she does something bad."Gadi, do you want to be accompanied by Manong?" Mom"Uh, no need, Ate Dawn. I can do it myself. Besides, I already have enough money for transportation and for my expe
When the Artist meets the Poet Chapter 27- Big Mistake
[Faye's Point of View]Was my decision really right? No.It will never be right because it is a big mistake for me to answer the person I don't like."Love, are you free later?" Ken asked as he hugged me from behind. I was not comfortable. That's why I immediately removed his arm that was wrapped around me."Uhh... I don't know. I'll be busy later, I-I have an assignment to do," I reasoned."Really? Maybe you're just really avoiding me." I could see the frustration on his face."What? Don't think like that, Ken. We've been together almost every day. Then you'll say something like that? That I'm avoiding you?""Yeah, we're together every day, but I feel like I don't have your attention. We're only on for a few weeks, but you're starting to get cold right away," he said seriously. I was suddenly nervous. He noticed my actions immediately? I don't want to get to the point where he doubts my feelings for him, or maybe he's already doubting them. Please no."Look, you're stunned again." He
When the Artist meets the Poet Chapter 28-Hotdog Seller
[Dion's Point of View]I've been waiting for Vida for almost 20 minutes now pero hindi pa rin s'ya lumalabas mula roon sa loob ng shop na pinasukan n'ya kanina. What if puntahan ko na lang s'ya doon?Without a second thought, naglakad ako papalapit sa shop na iyon hindi rin kalayuan dito sa kotse ko. I pushed the glass door at agad na bumungad sa 'kin ang mga mananahi na nag-uumpukan sa isang lamesa na kumakain. Their attention is on me. Bigla akong dinapuan ng hiya. "A-ahh...hello po," saka ako weird na ngumiti. Their eyes were fixed on mine. Mga ilang segundo bago may isang nagsalita sa likuran ko."Ano'ng kailangan mo, otoy?" Lumingon ako sa kan'ya at nagbigay-galang sa pamamagitan ng pagyuko ng ulo ko ng mabilis. She looks nearly 60's at her age. "Hello po.""Hello. Magpapatahi ka ba? Halika rito para masukatan kita," nakangiti niyang sabi. She looks kind, it made me feel less nervousness. "Ah, hindi po. Magtatanong lang po sana ako," I said."Oh? Ano 'yon?" Napasulyap ako sa
When the Artist meets the Poet Chapter 29-When You Can't Do Anything But Get Hurt
[Vida's Point of View]Sa tuwing maaalala ko o nakakakita ako ng mga bagay-bagay na konektado sa mama at papa ko, hindi ko maiwasang malungkot. Sino ba naman ang hindi ang malulungkot? Haha. Kung kahapon, tawang-tawa pa ako sa 'hotdog seller' eksena ni Dion, ngayon parang nakakapagsisi na pinagtawanan ko 'yon. Naalala ko na iniiwasan ko nga pala ang hotdog at hipon kasi namimiss ko lang lalo ang magulang ko. Malaki ang kaugnayan nito sa kanila, at hindi ko talaga maiwasan na maiyak tuwing sumasagi sa isip ko. Kahit pa sabihin na ang oa ko kasi pagkain lang naman 'yon. "Vida, I really need your help. Samahan mo ako mamili." Kanina lang pagkatapos ko magsaing, bigla akong tinawagan ni Dion para humingi sa 'kin ng tulong mamili ng hotdog na inorder sa kan'ya ng mga kasamahan ni Lola sa trabaho."Hindi ako sasama. Kasalanan mo na 'yan, panget mo kasi magsinungaling. Bahala ka mamili mag-isa. " Akala n'ya siguro, kaibigan na talaga ang turing ko sa kan'ya. "Hey, Vida? Don't end the call
