"You're taking her to the shop where we usually go shopping when we're still together? My god, Cahleen! Tapos ikaw pa ang nagbabayad sa mga gusto niya? Yucks!" Kung kanina pa ako naiinis, pwes kanina pa rin ako nagtitimpi. This parasite keeps on interrupting our date. Hindi ko nga alam kung matatawag pa ba namin 'to na date dahil may third wheel na sunod nang sunod sa'min. Caseth couldn't do anything and so as me. Hindi naman siya nakikinig kahit na ano pang sabihin ni Caseth sa kanya. If I know, she's just pretending not to be affected by his hurtful words.   "Shut the fucking up you motherfucker! This shop wasn't yours and I can bring her wherever I want to. Kung naiinggit ka, pwede ka namang umalis." He pulled my hand gently but this parasite holds his other hand too. "B-But, I just want to be with you---" "Sorry for interfering but he doesn't wants to be with you. Hindi mo pa napapansin

"Shara! Tumigil ka na nga sa kakalakad ng pabalik balik. Nahihilo na talaga ako sa'yo kanina pa."Who could blame me?Ever since Caseth left on the way to the hospital, I didn't get any text message or even a voice mail from him. Sinabi ko sa kanyang balitaan kaagad ako pero hindi niya naman sinasagot ang mga tawag at chats ko. I'm starting for feel nervous right now. "Mau, hindi mo ba talaga siya nakita sa school? Even his friends? Did you talk to Ziro?" sunod-sunod kong tanong sa kanya. Kumunot naman ang noo niya."Ziro and I did talked but its about us. Hindi rin nila kasama si Caseth kase nga absent siya nang hindi siya dumating hanggang sa mag-recess na. Mukhang wala rin silang alam sa nangyayari."Nang matapos ang klase nila ay tinawagan ko kaagad si Mau para puntahan ako rito saglit sa bahay. I thought Caseth told his friends kanina about sa nangyari kay Ate Casyn pero hindi pala. Maybe he just called them after classes. I don't k

"Shara, baby, please talk to me. Hindi ko na kayang iniiwasan mo'ko. I'm begging you, stop ignoring me."Wala si Mama at Papa dito sa bahay pagkauwi ko galing school at hindi ko rin alam kung saan sila nagpunta. Alam kong hindi sila lumabas para bumili ng groceries dahil sagot na ni Mau 'yon lahat kahapon. Our stocks and refrigerator were all full so I don't have any idea where did they go. And this guy beside me, asking for forgiveness after four days of ignoring me. Ever since I arrived from school, he suddenly came and brought foods for me but it won't kill my anger towards him. Hindi niya ako madadala sa mga sorry at pagbibigay niya ng pagkain. He lied. He freaking ignored me like what I'm doing right now. Magtiis siya dahil nakaya niya naman akong tiisin na hindi pansinin ng apat na araw. I should be the one to take revenge now. I'm not going to talk to him nor even glance at him. I don't care!"Baby, hindi ko talaga sinasady

"Anong sasabihin mo, Shara? And why you look so pale? Are you alright?"Ngumiti lang ako ng tipid kay Racer nang makarating kami sa gazebo kung saan walang tao. Whenever I'm going to talk with him or Caseth in school, I always prefer this place not just because it's my favorite spot but also away from everyone. I can have a private talk with him whatever I want to say. "I won't take this too long, Racer. Hindi na ako babalik dito simula bukas. I'll stop my studies," diretso kong sagot sa kanya.Kumunot naman ang noo niya."H-Huh? Why? I thought your friends will manage your school fees? Ayaw mo na bang mag-aral dahil sa sakit mo? 'Yon ba ang sabi ng parents mo o ng doctor?"Alam niya pala na kaibigan ko ang gumagastos sa'kin dito. If I know, it was the talk of the town here. Mabilis pa sa kidlat na kumalat ang balita dahil sa mga estudyante na mukhang reporters sa media. "Yes, it's because I'm sick. Racer... I-I'm dying... My life will o

"Handa na ba ang dadalhin natin? We have to go now. Ilang oras pa tayo sa byahe."Kanina pa kami minamadali ni Kyla dahil atat na siyang makarating sa resort na pupuntahan namin. They decided to have a bonding in a resort para daw maiba naman. Ang sabi pa nila, palagi raw nilang nakikita sa mga posts ni Caseth sa Instagram ang mga pictures naming magkasama na nililibot ang city. Though, we will stay in the resort for only one day.Bilang na lang ang oras na meron ako kaya kailangan kong sulitin 'to ng pantay sa kanila. Tomorrow will be the last day and I'm going to spend it with my parents. Si Caseth, hindi siya sumama dahil bonding time raw naming magkakaibigan 'to pero halata namang ayaw niya akong iwan. He couldn't do anything but to stay with his family. Balita ko kase next week pa sila aalis ulit. "How long will it take to get there? Malayo ba ang resort na pinili mo, Jelo?" tanong sa kanya ni Roses.He scratched his head lightly."Uh... Not tha
