The man was changing his mags when I turned around to see that he was aiming at the twins. The only thing I could think of that time was to take him down and save my best friends. Priorities, Emerald. I breathed in deeply and looked at the twins."GET DOWN!!"I ran and slid down as I took my shot before he could. But what worried me was that I heard three shots. I immediately looked at the twins and they were both fine, and on the other side was my target who's now lying cold on the floor. Standing up, I felt the blood rush in my veins, but I set that aside and approached my best friends. "Are you two okay?"They were stunned, unable to talk. I gave them a small smile and handed them over to the medical team with us."Take extra care of them, please. Thanks.""Will do, Emerald. Sapphire is downstairs, clearing up too. Get yourself checked.""Thanks, Mark. I'll do that after I check in on everyone."I was about to walk down when I felt something warm. I looked at my hands when I saw..
I stood up from my chair and submitted my exam paper to my professor who was sitting in front. Finally the last day of exams and of this school year. I went back to get my bag and left the classroom, took out my phone and sent a message to my brother. He called after a few minutes.Incoming Call: Kuya Kaiden"Kuya.""Kendra, bili ka ng gamit mo. I sent you a list, nakita mo na ba?""Yeah, I just saw it. Ang dami ah. Saan lakad natin, kuya?"He chuckled and said it was a secret. He told me he has my documents with him and that he'll pick me up in three hours. "Basta bilhin mo yang mga yan and grab something to eat. Kung kasama mo yung kambal, treat them to something din. I'll see you in three hours, lil' sis."--call ended--As soon as he ended the call, I saw the twins leaving the room with their smiles as wide as the Cheshire cat. I smiled softly and approached them, and to my surprise, they hugged me."MA!""Kain tayo?""Sure! Anong gusto niyo ngayon? Japanese? Korean? Filipino? Am
A cool gentle breeze envelopes my skin as I step out of my room’s balcony. I breathe in the scent of pine trees and sunflowers, that’s when I know I’m home. I hear a faint knock from my door. I hear a small chuckle. “I wonder what’s keeping you awake.” The voice said. My brows furrowed. I couldn’t see anyone. “Who’s there? Kuya? Hey don’t play games on me. ” Another chuckle. “Well aren’t you a curious cat. Isn’t that right, princess?” Confused, I went back inside and opened the door only to find a tall man outside. He quickly puts his hands over my eyes. “You must not see me. Not yet.” “Why not? You’re standing outside my room! Are you a-” “Shh. When the time co
As soon as we finished lunch, we went back straight to the classroom. Announcements spread quickly around the campus, rumor has it that there would be a pageant for sophomores. It HAS been quite some time since I entered a pageant. Pfft. I’m 152 centimeters. I’m no match for that kind of thing now. “Okay, class. So malapit na ang Foundation Day at baka nabalitaan niyo na. Magkakaroon ng Mr. And Miss Sophomore and gusto ko sanang may sumali sa klase natin.” Hearing about that, the entire class was silent. No one would even dare >:D Then, I sensed something. The theater girls were eyeing me. Oh no. Not good. “Ma’am, si Kendra po!” And there it goes. Arrgghh! Lagot ka sa akin, Tiff. Mamaya ka sa akin! >:( “Kendra, okay lang sa’yo? Ikaw na lang rep natin for Miss
Post-Viral Myocarditis? What in the world IS that?! ”Okay, Kendra. The walls of your heart are inflamed, possibly due to the severity and frequency of the past cases of tonsilitis. Wag kang mag-alala, pwedeng magamot yan with medications but you also have to help yourself. Iwas ka na muna sa caffeine and sa fatty foods. Pwede ka namang kumain ng sweets at carbohydrates but in moderation. Sa exercise naman, pwede basta wag naman yung masyadong nakakapagod. Alam mo naman ang limit ng katawan mo. Yung sa emotions mo naman, keep it at bay. Alam kong ayaw mong mag-cause ng panic.” All I could do was nod. My brain couldn’t process the thought that I’m actually sick. How did that even happen? I went home with a bunch of medicines and a confused mind. “Oh wag mong kakalimutan yung mga gamot mo ha?” “Opo.” I felt so down, and I sti
*Calling…. +63915----*“Hello?”“Hello, Kendra?”My brows furrowed.Oh my gosh."Travis?""Uy Kendra! Wooh. Tama yung number mo hahahaha!""Aba loko. Bakit ka napatawag, poknat?"I missed this man. Travis Zamora. My other childhood friend from my mom's hometown. We haven't talked in a long time! He’s the absolute boy best friend ever.“Ayun! Ano kasi, pinapatanong ni mommy kung uuwi kayo sa Undas?”“Oo naman! Hahaha anong klaseng tanong yan. Ang sabihin mo, miss mo na ako!”I laughed. I sure love it when I tease him.“Ano? Gig tayo pag uwi namin!”“Matic na yun boss! Hahaha. Uwian mo ako ng walis, ube at lengua ah!”“Ay wow. Pamb
The following days went by so fast after the pageant. The entire school was busy with catching up requirements and final projects, since final examinations are coming. “Mama Kends, natapos mo na yung compilation mo sa Physics?” “Almost. Meron pa yung activity kahapon tsaka yung assignment last week. Hindi pa binabalik ni sir eh.” “Hala, may kulang akong tatlong activities!” “Eh diba excused ka naman nun kasi yun yung galing ka sa province? Insert mo na lang yung photocopy nung signed na excuse letter mo jan.” “Ma, may copy ka pa nung experiment natin nung Monday?” “Hmm.. yeah meron. Here. Yan na yung extra na copy.” It was my favorite time of the academic year. Compilations are the best for me since I see what I have achieved so far in the subjects at school. Most of the time, I help my friends with their compilatio
--TRAVIS' P.O.V.-- “TRAVIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!” I looked up and there she is. The girl I love.I beamed at her and stepped forward. “KENDRAAAA ang liit mo pa rin! HAHAHAHA” “Ang sama mo talaga no?” She punched my arm teasingly, I chuckle at her, missing her touch. “Ito talaga hindi mabiro! Lika nga dito!” I hugged her. Suddenly the world around me just disappeared. She’s warm, as always. She still smells good even if she doesn’t use perfume. I missed her so much. "Hoy kung maka-singhot ka naman jan, parang droga ah! Hahahahaha!" We both laugh at her statement. She went to my mom and they talked for a bit. I can't wait to spend the whole day with her! "Tara na! Ma, alis na po kami! Bye!" "Bye tita! Mamaya na lang po ulit!" She hit my head lightly and chuckled. "Ikaw talaga, hindi
