I'm on my school when I remember something. Haha, but wait, I just wanna tell you a story through this one-shot.
natatarantang sabi ni Trina sa akin habang nagsusulat ako nang assignment namin sa English.
Nakuha niya ang atensyon ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Tinaasan ko pa siya nang kilay dahil baka pinagloloko niya ako.
sabi niya kaya naman ay nag-isip-isip ako.
natatawang sabi ko kaya inambaan niya ako nang kutos kaya agad din akong umilag.
sabi niya naman kaya tumawa na talaga ako. Itong babaeng, toh.
nakataas ang kilay na sabi nang guro namin sa English kaya yumuko na lang kami.
nakayukong sabi namin. Umalis na rin ang aming guro at nagpatuloy sa pagtuturo sa harapan.
siko niya sa akin. Pabulong siyang nagsalita kaya hindi nahalata nang aming guro na abala sa pagtuturo.
balik sisi ko rin sa kanya. Umirap na lang siya at tumawa nang pabulong. Baliw talaga.
Nagpatuloy ang klase namin at nang matapos na ang last subject namin sa umaga ay pumara na agad kami nang jeep na papunta sa kanila.
Pinuno pa ang jeep kaya halos matagalan kami. Tadtad na rin kami nang pawis kaya nilabas ko ang pamaypay ko at nagpaypay ako.
sabi niya kaya pinasa ko naman sa kanya ang pamaypay ko.
banta ko sa kanya kaya naman dinuron niya ako nang mahina at natawa naman ako.
page-english niya sa akin kaya parehas na kaming tumawa.
sabi ko nalang bago umandar ang jeep na sinasakyan namin.
Mga labin-limang minuto bago kami nakarating sa village nila.
Malawak ang village nila. May dalawang guard na kumakain sa parang maliit nilang office. Merong mga batang naglalaro sa gilid at meron ding mga nagbibisikleta. Normal village rin pero tahimik at parang walang gulo.
puri ko pero ngumisi lang siya.
May mga nadaanan kaming malalaking bahay. Meron pang mga naglalaba sa labas kahit sobrang init.

pabiro niyang sabi kaya inirapan ko nalang ito.
sabi ko naman pero tumawa lang siya.
Nakarating na kami sa tapat nang bahay nila. Maganda ang labas nang bahay, may mga bulaklak sa gilid nang di kalakihang gate nila. Nakapintura nang puti ang di rin kalakihang bahay nila at talagang nagmumukhang disente at malinis.
Pumasok na kami sa loob at nakita ko ang isang babae doon na namamalantsa.
May dalawang kuwarto at may isang CR. May maliit silang kusina at parihabang hapag-kainan.
sabi niya at tumango naman ito. Ngumiti siya sa akin at naglahad nang kamay.
sabi niya. Tinanggap ko naman ang kamay niya at ngumiti rin.
magalang kong sabi pagkatapos naming magkamayan.
sabi ni Trina bago pumasok nang CR nila.
Nilahad ni ate Lielle ang hapag-kainan nila at kumain na ako.
Papatapos na akong kumain nang dumating si Trina. Nagpalit na siya nang uniform at nailagay niya ang narumihang uniform sa lalagyan nang mga lalabhan.
nagtataka niyang sabi sa akin.
sarkastiko kong sabi sa kanya. Umiling na lang siya at umupo na rin at nagsimulang kumain.
Halos magmadali na kami ni Trina sa pag-aayos nang gamit namin bago muling bumalik sa school.
tawag niya sa ate niya. Lumapit naman ito sa amin.
sabi nito.
bilin niya sa ate niya at tumango na lang ito.
sabi ni Trina at lumabas na nang gate nila.
nakangiti kong sabi sa kanya.
Niyakap niya ako bigla at bigla na lang siyang umiyak. Nagtaka naman ako ngunit hinagod ko parin ang likod niya.
halos hindi niya maituloy ang sasabihin niya.
Umabot ng dalawang minuto bago muli siyang magsalita.
Lutang ako nang lumabas na kami nang village nila. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang magiging reaksyon ko.
Pumara nang bus si Trina dahil wala na kaming makitang jeep papuntang school.
Binigay ko nalang ang bayad ko at dumungaw sa labas nang bintana nang bus.

Nagsimulang umagos ang mga luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan ngunit iniwasan kong humikbi para di siya maghinala kung bakit ako umiiyak.
Muli kong inalala ang mga sinabi ng ate niya.
I let an assuring smile.
I'm gonna do my best to do her favor to me even if it hurts everyday because she's part of my life, the time I name her my friend. The time Trina enters my life.

A/n: I cry on this one because I think, it enters my mind and my heart.
But by the way, thank you so much for reading my one-shots. I really appreciate your reads.
Vote if you really enjoy! Love lots

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

A poor young woman makes her money from raiding the Worldrenders' plantations. Meanwhile, a genius inventor, a man born from a Foretoken family, idles his days and his talent away. And from the northern mountains, the home of the Worldrenders, a boy with a troubled past marches to the land of the humans. He calls himself a Worldrender and wields their powers. His objective is simple: he will conquer the humans or exterminate them all. This is an epic fantasy story featuring three protagonists, a slew of high fantasy races, and several mysteries at its core. There is a minimum of one chapter (1000 words or more) each week.
