All Chapters of Tangled Dreams: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ASHANTI"I think I have a dream now."My friends looked at me confusedly, telling me to proceed. I sipped on my iced coffee before straightening my back. "What?" Kelly asked."A lawyer."Kelly and Clio burst out of laughter while Celeste was trying not to laugh. My brows furrowed as I watch their reactions."Why are you laughing?" I asked."Are you serious?" tanong ni Clio at uminom sa binili niyang chocolate shake.Muling kumunot ang noo ko. "Do I look like I'm joking?"Tumigil sila sa pagtawa bago takang tumingin sa akin. I sipped on my coffee and leaned against my chair."So you mean... You want to be a lawyer? As in lawyer like 'yung nasa court na nagdedefend ng case?" Maarteng tanong ni Kelly. I sighed before I nod. "May iba pa ba?""Are you re

ASHANTI"I'll be there within an hour. May errands lang akong kailangang gawin," I told Kelly on the phone."What are you going to do ba?" Maarte niyang tanong.I sighed. "Dadaan ako sa office. May naiwan akong files na kailangang ireview," sagot ko."Oh! Pakikuha na lamang din ng lipstick ko. Naiwan ko doon last time na pumunta tayo," utos niya."Alright. Pakisabi na lamang kina Celeste at Clio na susunod ako.""Okie! Take care!""Likewise," I answered as I ended the call.Muli akong bumuntong hininga bago nagpatuloy sa paglalakad papunta sa office. It is the office that Butler Cox gave us last time as a reward for being part of The Rank Five. We stayed there for a couple of days to study but we stopped going there because we still prefer to stay and study at our dorm or in the library.Napailing ako bago muling kinuha a

CELESTE"I think I'm such a bad friend, Markus.""Huh?" He fixed the rim of his glasses before looking at me. Nag-iwas naman ako ng tingin at bumuntong hininga."Maybe Ashanti is right. I only think about myself. I am too hung of the idea of being the first place to the point that sometimes, I don't consider their feelings anymore.""Why are you saying that?" he asked.I shrugged. "Naisip ko lang.""Is it about what happened yesterday?"I sighed and nod my head. "Kinda.""Stop overthinking, Celeste. I'm sure your friends will soon understand why you're doing this.""I don't know of that will happen, though," I frowned.I leaned against my chair and removed my glasses. As usual, me and Markus are studying in the library. Even though Kelly asked me to not meet w

KELLY"One bucket of fried chicken, two servings of rice, one bowl of mashed potato, one large fries and a pineapple juice for drinks, please.""Are you planning to bankrupt me?" Zev asked on my side. I rolled my eyes. "I'm just hungry.""You told me that I'm just going to accompany you while you're buying your dress. You didn't told me that you're also planning to eat," he nagged."Kasi nga, nagutom ako suddenly. Is it my fault kung nagutom ako?" giit ko.I secretly smiled. The truth is, I already planned this. I just like seeing him pissed."Alright, your highness," pagsuko niya. I chuckled before I went to our table. Sumunod naman siya sa akin matapos makapagbayad."Are you sure you want to eat here?" he asked as he sat infront of me."Why not?" "I just did

CELESTE"Gosh! I'm so exhausted!" reklamo ni Kelly nang makarating kami sa cafeteria para kumain."Bakit kasi sa dami pang araw na puwede tayong tambakan ng trabaho, ngayon pa?" segunda ni Clio at padabog na umupo sa lamesa."Girls, it's our duty as a part of The Rank Five. Remember, we are the role model of this school. This is our responsibility," pangaral ko at umupo na rin sa tabi ni Clio."But isn't it weird?" Tumingin ako kay Ashanti at nagtaas ng kilay."Ang alin?" I asked."Katulad nga ng sinabi ni Clio, bakit nila tayo tinatambakan ng trabaho samantalang malapit na ang midterms? We are supposed to study during this time," she added.I sighed. "Katulad din ng sinabi ko kanina, it is our responsibility. Baka sadyang nagkataon lamang na ngayon maraming kailangan ipagawa."She lifted her shoulders in a half shrug. "It's still weird f
