(1982)“SORRY! I didn’t intend to bump into you,” Clayton apologized after colliding with a lady, causing the coffee she was carrying to spill onto her clothes and onto her friends.“Oh my goodness! Look what you've done! Are you blind?! You’re not even paying attention to what you’re passing by!” The lady in the middle said as she wiped away the stains on her clothes.“I’m so sorry, girls! I honestly didn’t—”“Back off! Don’t even think about wiping your dirty handkerchief on me! And take a look at yourself; where did you come from, in the jungle? You’re so out of date! Ugh!” The girl in the middle scoffed.She appears to be the group’s leader.“Gosh! He looks like a beggar," the lady on the left added.“Well, he’s such a hermit for me!” says the lady on the right.“Oh, gosh! You stink!” The lady in the middle added and get a disinfectant in her bag after smelling him.She sprayed it on him all over. “Better! Let’s go Ladies!”Her two friends simply laughed at him first before leavin

“HEY, Barbara! What’s wrong with you? You’re spacing out!” Letisha asked after they ate lunch at the canteen. They are now at their hangout place in BSU.“I’ve been thinking about Clayton. Were we too harsh on him?” she asked, causing Esperanza and Leticia to exchange glances.Leticia reacted. “Clayton? You mean the out-of-trend guy?”“Seriously, Barb? This is the first time you address someone you despise in their first name.”She shrugged. “I don’t know! When I heard what he’s going through right now, I suddenly felt guilty for the things we say and do to him, especially that cheating incident in class with Mrs. Garzon.”“I knew it! You are the one who put the test paper in my bag!”The three of them looked behind when they heard that voice from Clayton while he was holding a voice recorder tape.The three looked at each other in shock. “Oh my gosh, Barb! Do something!” Esperanza said as Clayton ran away.“He must have recorded everything you said! I don't want to be kicked out!” Le

BARBARA stopped when she recognized that voice. She wanted to ignore it but her body seemed to have a life of its own and looked at it. And just like that, the blood rose to her head when she saw the person who was the reason why some people told her that she lacked a mother’s care. “Y-you grew up b-beautifully,” Rebecca said with trembling lips and was about to approach her when Barbara took a step back. Like Barbara, the tears of the woman formed in her eyes. She shook her head upon seeing it. For her, it wasn’t praised. She just said that because she wanted to flatter her, but she won’t buy it. She examined her from head to toe and she could tell that her appearance was far from what she expected. She’s not wearing any make-up. Even her clothes looks simple. For Barbara, she looks poor. ‘What happened to her? Isn’t she elope with a wealthy man before?’ She composed herself and show that she wasn’t affected by her presence. “Do I know you?” she asked. She wanted to leave, but

“IS THERE something on my face?” Randall asked Meredith when he noticed the shock on her face when she saw him.Meredith was taken aback when he saw Randall’s new appearance. His long hair has been cut short. She can clearly see the big changes in its appearance. Aside from that, she recalled the similarity between the events in her vision earlier and what had happened to Randall. Is it just a coincidence, or is Randall the man she’s been looking for all these years?“Mer? Are you alright?” he asked again, causing her to return to her trance. “N-nothing. I just remembered that I needed to go to the supermarket,” she reason out.“Okay!” Then he started the engine.“Hey! Why did you buy so many loaves of bread?” he asked when they arrived at the supermarket. He followed her inside because he needed toiletries as well.“Shanaia asked me to make snacks for the drama club’s practice tomorrow.”Randall nodded. “Yeah. Everyone is getting ready for the school fair.”“Hey! What are you d

THREE DAYS later, Meredith doesn’t see Randall coming to school. She texted him numerous times, but he never responded to her texts or phone calls. He had missed many of their lessons, so she decided to pay him and Don Warrick a visit in the mansion. She was waiting at the bus stop when Randall called.“Hello! What happened to you? You haven't shown up to school in three days!” she asked.She heard him cough on the other line. “A-are you sick?” she asked worriedly.“My body temperature is thirty-eight point three,” he replied.Her eyes widened. “Hey! Are you completely insane? Your fever is extremely high! Are you still in the mansion? I’m on my way there.”“No! I’m in my condo. I don’t want Granpa to get infected so please, come see me right away. I’ll just send you the address.” “Okay.” And she cut the line.Five seconds later she received a message from him. The bus arrived on time so she was able to travel immediately. When she got down in front of her condo building, she went
