"Ma, why are we leaving the city? Maayos naman na po ang buhay natin dito!" pagututol ko sa nais iparating sa akin ni mama. Umiling siya sa aking harapan na para bang buo na talaga ang kanyang desisyon.
"No, Claire. Mas magiging maayos ang pag-aaral mo kapag nailayo kita dyan sa boyfriend mong tambay lang naman sa kanto!" pasigaw niyang saad. Namuo ang galit sa aking sistema.
Pinunasan ko ang lumandas na luha mula sa aking mga mata.
"Ma, hindi siya tambay lang sa kanto. Si Josh ang pinakaresponsableng taong nakilala ko, ma. Siya 'yung tumanggap sa akin at nagparamdam sa akin na hindi ako nag-iisa noong sinusubukan niyong ibalik ang relasyon niyo ni papa. Nakalimutan niyo na nga po ako noong mga oras na iyon ma!" mag-asawang sampal ang natanggap ko mula kay mama. Nakita ko kung paano mag-alab ang kanyang tingin sa akin.
"At ang gusto mong piliin ay ang lalaki mo imbes na iyang pag-aaral mo? Claire, iniisip ko lang naman ang mas makabubuti sa iyo." Pakiwari ni mama. I pressed my lips together.
"Hindi ma, hindi niyo talaga alam kung anong mas makabubuti sa akin. Hindi niyo po ba nakikita? Hindi naman po bumaba ang grado ko sa school ng dahil lang sa pakikipag-relasyon ko kay Josh. Kung tutuusin nga po ay siya pa ang tumutulong sa akin para mas magpursigi ako sa pag-aaral kahit na ang gusto ko na lang pong gawin ay tumigil at sumuko sa buhay." Naiiyak kong saad at napaupo sa sahig. Nagbago naman ang ekspresyon ni mama.
Ma, I'm sorry, but I'll fight for Josh. I'll fight for that man.
"Ma, all I have in that time was him. When you left me, still chasing papa even if he already turned his back on us, I met him and he did become the wonderful thing that happened to me. Ma, hindi naman po porke't may kasintahan ako ay hindi ko na magagawa ang dapat kong gawin bilang isang estudyante at anak. Ma, hindi ako kabilang doon sa mga kabataang liwaliw lang ang alam at pagpapasarap sa buhay. Kabilang po ako doon sa alam pa rin ang limitasyon, kasi alam kong ako 'yung pag-asa ng bayan."

The Queen of School
Hi there, my name is Jason Corvus, you can call me Raven. My parents really (like a lot) wanted to have a boy, so when they found out that I was a girl, they still put me a boyish name. When my father was alive he always wanted to go to Tyndall Quantic Soren high school, but to the common people it was known as an elite school, but in reality, it is a school for those who are more than simple humans. My mother told me to fulfill his last wish and go to that school, but I am not that excited about it. Well, whatever. This time things seem more complicated than before, and I have no idea how long this time will last.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
