To the one who whispered hope into the silence of my pen, these stories bloom anew, filled with the echo of our laughter and the promise of a happily ever after I dared to believe in again.

"Who are you?" Someone asked me from behind.
I look at the stranger and he's staring at me like I did something bad. "Artist."
His brows furrowed not completely believing my answer. Instead of saying another word, I showed him my ID for this three-day seminar and I was assigned to this room. Later on, tumango lang siya saakin at ipinatong ang bag niya sa katapat na table. A roomate!?
"Photographer." He uttered before leaving. Just like that, I was left dumbfounded.
Weird. How come lalaki ang makakasama ko dito? Did the manager assign me to the wrong room? I immediately texted my prof to clear my suspicion before taking a bath. I'm in my last year of senior high and I am doing my best to make this journey worthwhile. My mother once told me that this may be the last year of my enjoyment. I love paintings, but I don't want to pursue art. I am obsessed with it but loving this passion wholeheartedly didn't cross my mind. I've come from a family of doctors but that doesn't mean that I want to be a doctor because of them, saving lives is what art truly means.
"SHIT!" I cursed myself when I saw the time. Late na ako sa orientation! I run as fast as I can like I am running for my life. Attendance is a must when it comes to seminars like this. This is a seminar where students from different schools are gathered with different skills and forte. As for me, I am going to represent my school for the arts. I don't know anyone from my school na ma re-represent din sa different school. I only know myself here.
When I entered the dome, everyone was already settled. I looked for an empty seat in front pero wala nang vacant. I had no choice but to sit at the back and the only chair being available.
"I'll take this sit," I said to the guy sitting next to me. I didn't realize that he was the guy from earlier. The photographer, huh?
"What?" I exclaimed when he stared at me. He looked innocent but his eyes said differently.
