Kiesha

I needed a new dress for the party. There was no way I could wear one of my old ones-not tonight. Tonight was different. I had to make an impression, something unforgettable. Every detail mattered, especially the way I looked.

I couldn't afford to show up looking average.

I thought back from last year when she barely glanced at me, more interested in her friends than noticing I even existed.

This dress had to be perfect. It had to fit me in a way that would make her think I was something special.

Not just any dress would do. It had to be the one that made heads turn, the one that would make her impressed with my beauty, the one that made her realize maybe I was more than just the quiet girl in the background.

Looking at my closet, I couldn't decide which one should I wear.

It kinda looks like I wanted to wear a green suit but I had this blue one also, I can't decide, so calling Kiesha again to choose what should I wear.

She said I should wear Green tomorrow, because Bryce will gonna wear a blue suit, We goin to look like couple daw ba, if same color ba naman.

"Well, I said yes naman sa kanya, as a friend ah, not in a romantic way"

Just wear the green one she said and immediately hang-up the phone.

"Louis Contego"

I can't believe he asked if I wanted to ride with his car. Syempre, mag-oo na sagot na tayo dyan, libre na yan.

Louis is my crush from 12th grade and the only person back there na alam na I like boys.

He was our escort, well, masisisi mo ba siya? He had a clear face, white skin, fluffy hair, and also he is the one who made me realize that I'm enough"

(Back at 12th Grade)

Listening to this song on my way to school is honestly the best part of my mornings. It's a sad song, and every time I hear it, it feels like the lyrics are speaking straight to me.

Maybe that's why I keep playing it every day, even though it brings up feelings I don't always want to face. It's like the song knows exactly what's going on in my head-things I don't say out loud.

In our classroom, I am the treasurer, and as part of my responsibility, I need to collect funds for some necessary supplies.

We're in need of floor wax to clean and maintain the classroom floor, but unfortunately, some of my classmates are reluctant to contribute even a small amount.

I mean, alangan namang ako lang ang gumastos for something that's meant to benefit all of us, especially since it's for our classroom floor naman, which we all use.

Seeing that no one was stepping up, Louis, who had enough of the hesitation, stood up on his chair and loudly called for everyone to contribute.

He urged our classmates to give just 2 or 3 pesos each, explaining that it wouldn't take much but would make a big difference.

After his speech, the girls immediately started handing over their "ambag", realizing that it was a small price to pay for the benefit of everyone in the room.
