"Avil?" Umiling ulit ako. "You have a veritable heart, Forth, at ramdam ko iyon." Hindi pa ako tapos magsalita nang yakapin niya ako. "I'm sorry—" mahina niyang sabi. "I love you.

“What are you saying?” “I’m saying I can’t pretend,” sagot ko. “It wouldn’t be fair to you.” “Fair?” napataas ang boses ni Mr. Hernandez. “After everything we’ve discussed?” “This isn’t business,” sagot ko. “This is personal. And I won’t mix the two.” Dumilim ang mukha niya. “So that’s it?” tanong niya. “You’re really turning your back on us?” “I’m choosing to be honest,” sagot ko.

Sure ka ba na willing kang ibigay ang lahat? Magiging madali ba? Magiging totoo ka ba sakin? Makikipag communicate ka ba sakin? Sure ka ba na magiging masaya ka sa puder ko? Sure ka ba na contented ka? Panatag ka? Sure ka ba na kaya mo ang lahat habang nandito ka sakin? While in my arms? Sure ka ba-" Tuloy tuloy ang tanong nito but he was cut off when I spoke.

“If you must punish someone, let it be me. This entire setup was my idea. My oversight. I will step down if needed—” “But what message does that send to our students?” tanong ni Madam Go, malalim ang boses. “That recklessness and well-worded apologies can undo dishonesty?” Natahimik si Zion. Allison, on the other hand, swallowed hard. “Ma’am, I know trust is earned, not demanded. But if there's one thing we did right, it’s to admit our fault now. We’re not perfect. But we’re not frauds either.”

Hindi na siya nag-abalang lingunin ito lalo pa at umupo ito sa tabi niya. “You know, Miss, mas mabuti pang ibunyag mo ang katotohanan kaysa itago mo ito.

"I do..." I stared at him. "Even if you're mad at me right now, I still trust you." His eyes darkened. "Trust and honesty are big words, Iris. You can't just say you are when you're feeling not.

"I think you forget something." Napalingon ako sa kanya. "Huh?" tanong ko. "You also promised to be loyal and honest to me," sagot nya kaya natigilan ako.
