JAZMINFlashback continues…THE PAST months were like heaven for me. The happiness that Ez was giving me is priceless. I'm finding myself falling hard for her every day.Today is my birthday, and I told her that Mama wanted to meet her officially. I told Mama and my BFFs about us, and they are very supportive of our relationship. Their reason? They had never seen me happy like this before. And I could say that I am.Of course, we hide it from anyone in school and be casual with one another if we are t

JAZMIN Flashback continues… IT IS SATURDAY, and I am nervously excited about our dinner date. I don't know where Ez will take me, but that won't be a surprise anymore if I ask. But I have to work first before seeing her, which is why I'm here at FT. The work and Denisse averted my thoughts towards the dinner for a while. Yes, Denisse! She's threatening me again, and I'm so afraid of what she's saying right now. "I know what you're doing, Bonnie. You're using your flirty self to get more of the position, huh." I froze. I can't continue putting the final touches on the ordered salad. "Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie. So

HANAJAZMIN has been acting weird since last night she met Averi. She's being quiet and distant, but maybe like what she said, she's just tired. But something is off with her.Like right now, we're having dinner, and she's reticent. And when we talk about Dad and Averi, her expressions are something that I can't read.I've never really talked to her in person in seven years, but thanks to the help of social media, we managed to get to know each other well ever since I apologized to her. We get to know what each other likes and don'ts, simple things, and secrets. Even her first love. But she never told me the name of that girl. She doesn't want to bother the girl anymore

JAZMINWHEN MY phone vibrated, I was startled even more. I took it from my purse and answered it as I walked to my family's table."Where are you?" Hana's brow furrowed. I can see what she's doing. She's tapping her finger on the table, which is one of her mannerisms. My older sister is impressive.I took a deep breath and then responded to her."I'm right in front of you, your little kitty," I said, smiling. Then she cut the line and looked in my direction; she smiled hugely. As if she had seen her special someone. But I know my sister adores me, which is why I adore her."Hi, Dad." I kissed him on the cheeks, and he was surprised for a moment because he thought I was someone else, and Dad smiled back when he realized it was just

PEARLFour hours ago...THE BELL rang for my first-period class this afternoon. I'm now a professor at my alma mater, UST. At UST, I completed both my bachelor's and master's degrees in education. I teach classes in the Accounting Department, primarily to the graduating class. I entered the room and waited for my students to enter. They smiled as they greeted me, and I smiled back. When the last bell rang, I shut the door. "Okay, class, get back to work where you left off the last time. I'll give you twenty minutes to finish it today, and then we'll start another Accounting 501 lecture. Your time has arrived." I told them to return to my table. I sat there and reached into my bag for my phone. I checked it and
