CELESTEI sipped on my milk while staring out of nowhere, trying to think if we are really ready for the challenge."Earth to Celeste! Hey!" I blinked a few times and looked at Kelly confusedly."Yes?""You're sulking. What's the matter?" she asked."I'm just... You know, nervous I guess?"She chuckled. "Oh come on! Ikaw pa, kakabahan? You're the smartest out of all of us.""You're bluffing again," I retorted and sipped on my milk again."The line up is already decided, right?" Ashanti asked while drinking her iced coffee.I nodded. "Are you confident?""Of course, I am. History is a piece of cake," she answered."You're lucky," Kelly said

CELESTE"Are you really fine?"I sighed for the umpteenth before looking at Kelly. "I'm already said that I am fine, right?""I didn't know that she's hurting you." Umangkla siya sa braso ko at isinandal ang kaniyang ulo sa aking balikat. Napailing naman ako. "That rarely happens. Don't worry.""But still..." I sighed and gave her a lop-sided smile. "Don't pity me."She pouted. "It's not that I pity you. I'm just worried," giit niya."You don't have to.""Anong kadramahan 'to?" tanong ni Clio pagkababa sa kotse nila."Just Kelly acting like a baby," sagot ko."Bakit hindi pa kayo pumapasok sa loob?" Clio asked and raked her fingers throu

CELESTE"Are you sure that this plan would work, Celeste?" I sighed and looked at Kelly once again. "You know what, if you don't trust me, then you can leave," iritable kong sabi.She pouted before highlighting her notes once again. Of course, she won't leave. This is our only chance to claim our spot from those traitors."I am supposed to go London right now," Kelly uttered."Walang holiday pagdating sa pag-aaral, Kelly.""Ugh! This is so irritating na. For sure, nagsasaya na sina Kenley kasama sina Mommy at Daddy sa London tapos ako, nandito sa Pilipinas at nag-aaral," reklamo niya."Kelly, we need to do this. Gusto mo bang bawiin ang puwesto mo o hindi?" Ashanti told Kelly."At isa pa, puwede ka namang pumunta sa London anytime. Those leisure activities can wait," segunda naman ni Clio.

CELESTE My footsteps were heavy while walking at the school's corridor. The view of the sun setting on our west gives color to the dull sky— but it won't give color to mine.I bit my lower lip as my hands squeezed into fists. I cannot believe this."Celeste," Clio called me.I heaved a sigh before looking at her and Kelly. "What?"She looked at me with her eyes full of worry. Nag-iwas naman ako ng tingin."What are you going to do?" she asked.I swallowed the lump on my throat. "Wala na naman akong magagawa, hindi ba? We already missed the test. That's it."Kelly wiped her cheeks as a new batch of tears started to roll down. Bumuntong hininga naman ako. What's the point of crying? At this point, we already knew that we lost our spot.We are out of T

CELESTE"I'll go to the library first before going to our classroom. Nine o'clock pa naman 'yung start ng exam, right?"Kelly is taking a bath, Clio is busy studying while Ashanti is already at the coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee. We were all busy and panicking because the midterm exam is just right around the corner. Though I trust my knowledge, I am still nervous of what might happen. This is my last chance— and I can't miss it. Not today."Pupuntahan mo ba si Markus?" Clio asked while I'm wearing my shoes.I nodded. "We agreed to meet. I won't help him, though. We are just going to study a little bit before the test.""Baka makasalubong mo si Jarvis, tell him to study. Baka bumagsak pa 'yun nang wala sa oras. Mahirap na, mainit pa naman ang dugo ng Mommy niyo sa kaniya," bilin niya."Kahit naman hindi mo sabihin, sasabihin ko pa rin. At isa pa

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

ANDRIETTE"Are you saying that I am the one who stole the crest, Sir?" I pursed my lips together as my eyes landed on our dean. He gave us a meaningful smile before shrugging."Who knows?" he asked Claude.Claude chuckled before straightening his body. "I'm sorry to dissapoint you Sir but I am sending my homework to our homeroom teacher. You can ask her if you want. I can even provide you my laptop as an evidence."My lips parted in shock. Why the heck is he so smart?!The Dean nodded his head before looking at me. "I deeply apologized for the misunderstanding, Miss Flynn. We are going to look more thoroughly to this case."I nodded. "That's alright, dean.""You should thank Mr. Moore for proving your innocence. If it weren't for him, maybe you're still expelled right now."I bit my lower lip and smiled awkwardly. "

ANDRIETTE"I'll see what I can do."That is exactly what Claude told me two days ago. He said he'll help me but I still haven't heard something from him after that.I sighed out of frustration before I rose up from my bed. It's already afternoon and I haven't eaten anything yet.Hindi ko na naabutan sina Keith at Mommy sa baba. Hindi ko nga alam kung anong sinabi ni Keith kay Mom at napaniwala niya ito. Tamad akong nagtimpla ng kape at nag-toast ng tinapay. I don't have any appetite lalo pa't bukas na ang ibinigay na deadline ni Keith. Uminom ako ng kape bago muling umupo. I opened my phone only to find out that Claude still haven't replied to me. I nibbled on my bottom lip, trying to type a message. What should I tell him? Damn, this is so frustrating as hell!My gut feel told me na baka sabihin niya, hindi a

ANDRIETTE"Girl, anong kagagahan na naman ang ginawa mo at naexpell ka na naman? For pete's sake, ayaw kong lumipat na naman ng school!"I sipped on my coffee and looked boredly at Alexis. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa coffee shop ni Kuya Caesar at dahil tapos na ang klase nila, napagdesisyunan namin na rito mag-usap."Hindi niyo naman kailangang sumunod sa akin," I remarked.Sinamaan niya lamang ako ng tingin at humalukipkip. Napailing naman ako. "So, what's your plan now? Alam na ba ni Tita?" Evelyn asked worriedly.I shook my head. "I don't have any plans on telling her. Besides, gagawa naman ako ng paraan para makabalik.""At anong paraan naman 'yan, ha Dri?" tanong naman ni Adhaya.I propped my chin on my palm and shrugged my shoulders. "Bahala na," I answer

ANDRIETTE"You're expelled?" It's weird how a minute felt like an eternity when Keith suddenly barged into my room. Adhaya and I were stunned for a moment. After a couple of seconds, I cleared my throat. "A-Ah... Ganito kasi 'yun... A-Ano...""Alam na ba ni Mom?" he cut me off.I sighed before shaking my head. "Hindi ko pa nasasabi.""Hindi mo pa nasasabi o wala ka talagang balak sabihin?" I bit my lower lip and looked away.Sa sitwasyong ito, parang siya ang mas matanda sa akin. Ugh! Why am I like this? I dissapointed him once again!"Mom would get mad at me so...""So you pretended that everything is going well? You even went to school earlier. Don't tell me, that's part of your act?"&nbs

"So, what's your plan?" "I don't know. I just don't want to tell my mom about this issue. She would be dissapointed at me." I shrugged my shoulders and sipped on my coffee."Kaya ka nakauniform ngayon?" tanong nito na sinagot ko naman ng tango. "Isn't it obvious?" pambabara ko. He just sighed as a sign of defeat."I'll try to talk to the head master, baka mabago ang desisyon niya," dugtong nito na ikinailing ko."Sa tingin mo, babawiin niya pa 'yun? Hindi ako mapapabalik sa school unless, umamin na yung totoong may sala na alam ko rin naman na hindi niya gagawin," sagot ko at muling sumimsim sa binili kong kape."If you're not the one who stole that crest, then who? Bakit hindi mo masabi?" "I can't tell you that. And besides, mayroon rin na

ANDRIETTE "How's school, Andriette?" I almost choke and looked closedly at my mother. She raised her brows whuch made me gulped. "She's asking you, Ate." My brother nudged my arm and looked at me. I cleared my throat before drinking my water. "I'm... I'm doing well, I guess?" I lied. My mom nod before continuing to eat. Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag. I bit my lower lip before I rose from my seat.
