"Go, Dwight!"
Sabay-sabay na sigaw ng mga kaklase ko kay Dwight, ang main guitarist ng banda nilang 'The Chosen Beats' na ka-section namin.
Matagal ko ng crush si Dwight pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi niya pa rin niya alam. Hindi ko masabi-sabi sa kanya ang patungkol doon dahil lagi akong napapangunahan ng takot na baka lumayo siya sa akin.
Kaibigan ko si Dwight at ayokong dahil lang sa pagkakataong sasabihin ko ang pagkakagusto ko sa kanya ay baka layuan niya na ako at matuldukan na ang pagkakaibigan naming dalawa.
Aalis na sana ako sa school grounds kung saan ipinagdiriwang ng aming school ang talents festival ay bigla na lamang may humawak sa aking kamay.
Tinignan ko ang taong humawak sa aking kamay at nakita ko lamang si Dwight na sinserong nakatingin sa akin.
Napalunok ako at iniiwas ang aking paningin sa kanya.
"Saan ka pupunta, Vhia? Magsisimula na kaming tumugtog. Manood ka, ah?" sabi niya at pinaharap niya ako sa kanya tsaka niya ginulo ang aking buhok.
Ganyan siya lagi. Kahit naman nasaan kami ay lagi niyang ginugulo ang buhok ko.
Napatingin ako sa aking paligid at nakita ko na maraming mga babae ang masasama ang tingin sa akin.
"S-Sige, aalis lang ako sandali." nasabi ko na lamang sa kanya at mabilis na tumalikod sa kanyang gawi bago ako tumakbo papalayo.
Nagtungo ako sa hardin ng aming paaralan kung saan una kong nakilala si Dwight.
Sariwa pa sa aking mga alaala nu'ng araw na kinausap niya ako. Natural na ang pagiging palatawa at ang pagiging magaling niya sa pagkanta at pagtugtog ng gitara kaya doon ako unti-unting nahulog sa kanya.
Hindi naman siya ang ideal man ko. Ang ideal man ko kasi ay yu'ng misteryoso at magaling sumayaw. Ni isa nga doon ay wala si

Dwight kaya hindi ko alam kung matatawag ko na ba itong pumapag-ibig o ano.
"Iniisip mo na naman siya, no?" rinig kong sabi ng isang lalaki sa aking likuran kung kaya ay lumingon ako at nakita ko si Mikael doon, isa sa mga masusugid kong manliligaw.
"Sino bang sinasabi mo?" tanong ko sa kanya.
Lumapit siya sa aking gilid at saka mariing pumikit at dinama ang hangin na dumampi sa aming mga mukha.
"Hindi ba at si Dwight iyon?" mahinahon niyang sabi at pasimple akong ngumisi sa kanyang gilid.
"Titigilan ko na ang panliligaw ko sa iyo, Vhia. Hindi dahil sa hindi na kita mahal kaya titigil na ako sa panliligaw sa iyo pero dahil sa tingin ko ay mas sasaya ka kung siya ang mamahalin mo." sabi niya at saka humarap sa aking gawi kung kaya't humarap din ako sa kanya.
"Hindi nga niya ako gusto. Mahal ko siya pero mahal niya naman ako bilang kaibigan lang niya. Hindi rin naman ako ang tipo niya kaya hindi na ako aasa pang pwede kami." sabi ko at nagulat ako ng may magsalita sa gilid namin ni Mikael.
"Hindi nga ba talaga gusto o nahulog na pala sa iyo ng husto?"
Ang boses na iyan. Si Dwight.
Humarap ako sa kanya gayundin si Mikael na nakangiti na sa aming dalawa.
"Mauuna na ako, brad. Pero tatandaan mo, tumigil lang ako, hindi pa sumusuko. Dahil sa oras na saktan mo siya, patawad na lang at kukunin ko siya sa iyo ng lubusan." sabi ni Mikael at tinapik sa balikat si Dwight at naglakad na papalayo.
Dahil sa sobrang pagkalito ay agad kong tinanong si Dwight.
"A-Anong pinagsasabi mo? At bakit ganoon magsalita si Mikael?" tanong ko kay Dwight ngunit sinuklian niya lamang ako ng kanyang pamatay na ngiti kung kaya'y halos manghina ang aking tuhod.
"Ang slow mo talaga, Vhia. Ang hirap tuloy ipaliwanag sa iyo yu'ng ibig kong sabihin kanina." sabi niya habang kinakamot ang kanyang ulo.
"Ano ba kasing ibig mong sabih--"
"Hindi na ako mapapadalus-dalos pa. Mahal kita, Vhia. Hindi lang bilang isang kaibigan kundi bilang isang ka-ibigan."
At tuluyan na akong nanghina ng husto.

8 157Those Zombies Again
One day Sam wakes up in a world full of zombies and tries to survive.PSFirst of all i would not recommend this novel if you haven't read like hundred of novels already. Its pretty weird and depressing novel.This story is told almost completely from MC point of view. Third person.MC is a pretty ugly random guy with different psychological problems. He is antisocial and limited person.Lore - Since MC is limited and barely interested in people or just surroundings, you will get pretty limited descriptions on stuff, it was meant to be like that.Characters - Obviously for the same reason, you will not see much characters, usually you wont get their description or even names.Fights - I personally hate those fights in novels which take like few chapters to describe some shitty encounters. For example MC is making his "move" and then you get half chapter of description of his thoughts and the ways his face is looking, and the way like his opponent surprised and the way crowd is reacting and so on. I really hate all that shit so fights in this novel will be described not that often, only if an equal or a new opponent, and only in a strict and straightforward way, no bullshit.Now this novel is not exactly fantasy, its more like grim realistic-fantasy.But i will have to explain what i mean. Lets take rape in most novels as an example. Usually MC will be justified to rape a girl one way or another. Common example is aphrodisiac. Or the girl were trying to kill him so he had to "punish" her. Or she just happened to jump on his thing and then after rape she become his girlfriend etc, Those are examples of "fan service" in novel. So MC would be justified and readers woun't feel too uncomfortable to read something like that.So there is no "fan service" in this novel, like at all. You will have to read some stuff that will make you feel uncomfortable and you woun't like it.Common sense also means that there is barely gonna be any "random" events which MC is gonna be part of. No treasures and superpowers he founds because he is "special". He will not meet antagonists on his way.This novels world will not spin around MC in any way. He will usually sit in his deep cave and no one around will give a damn about him or even know of his existence.So this novel is not for you to have fun and enjoy reading. Not to make you feel comfortable, satisfied or happy.Its probably the opposite.There are some standards which novel usually sticks to in order to become popular. Obviously i did not meet those standards at all.
