Amaris' Point Of View
That faithful day, I dreaded the most........ The Open Forum, which turned out to be a disaster as most of the anonymous letters were for me, it's painful to imagine that my actions were annoying towards them, but if they do it the same.... It's not? How can my personality be annoying but theirs is not...... I'm different, am I really different from the rest of this classroom?

"Fleur, fleur ok ka lang?" Tumingin ako sa isa kong kaibigan na Si Lily at tumango.

"Tara na, kanina ka pa naka tunganga sa upuan mo, tapos na ang Open forum" tumingin ako sa tabi niya at tumango.

Tumayo na ako sa upuan ko at binitbit ang bag ko, naka labas na rin kami ng classroom at dumiretso sa gate

"Sino kaya ang nag sulat nang mga yun? They crossed the line" Sabi ni Mat, nanatili lamang akong tahimik dahil ayaw kong umiyak sa harapan nila

"I mean kung ang ibang classmates nation ginagawa ang personality ni Amaris hindi annoying, pero pagkaabot sa kaniya annoying?" Ani ni Mat " Huy tumahimik ka nga" saway ni Lily

I mean he is not entirely wrong, what did I ever do to them? I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket as I fished it out seeing my driver saying that he is there

"Guys... Can you come with me to 'that' place?" I asked as they immediately knew what place I was talking about as they nod

Pumunta kami sa isang lugar sa likod ng school

"Fleur.... Ok ka lang?" Tumango ako sa kapatid ko  at pumasok na sa sasakyan

"Mat, lily anong nangyari?" Rinig kong tanong ni Kuya sa labas

"Dito Po tayo Kuya, dahil baka sumama pa lalo ang pakiramdam ni Fleur" rinig kong sabi ni Lily

And lagot na ang school, hindi pa naman alam ng Adviser namin na may Open forum ngayon, I'm so doomed.

"Sige mauna na kami, I'll talk to Fleur about this" I waved at them goodbye as they left, the car ride home was silent, too silent.

Nang maka abot kami sa bahay agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto ko
"Fleur!" Rinig kong sigaw ni Kuya sa labas

Humiga ako sa kama at agad na kumawala ang mga luhang matagal ko nang pinipigilan

'Naging mabait Naman Ako sa kanila ah' sabi ko sa isipan lamang

'This is more fucked up than I ever imagined'

"Why me?" I asked sobbing harder than before

Just then may narinig akong katok sa pinto

"Fleur? Fleur pwede mo bang buksan ang pinto mo? Fleur? Can you? Please" I looked at the door and slowly stood up

I unlocked the door and went back on lying down while hugging my cat stuff toy

"Mat and Lily explained everything to me, those classmates of yours are total shitheads ok?" He said but I didn't budge

Lumapit Siya nang kaunti at umupo sa kama

"This is not about them Kuya, dahil feeling ko tama sila I mean, I might just be a spoiled brat and want everything to myself....." I said honestly

"You know that those are not true Fleur, I know because we may just be in different grades but I've seen how you worked hard on those accomplishments, and as the Editor 'n Chief of the School Publication I, Aster Florian will announce that you are the Senior Associate Editor of our News Paper" I sat up and looked at him horrified

"Ano?! Kuya, please 'wag hindi dapat nila malaman kung sino ang nasa likod ng articles na sinusulat ko every event, especially the literary works! Kuya please!" Pagmamakaawa ko, simula pa noong elementary ako nasa school publication staff na talaga Ako, pero palaging na re-reveal Ang identity ko sadyang Ngayon ko lang Hindi sinabi dahil nga sa pagiging mysterious ko sana, pero it backfired.

"I already told someone to post it and look, many have already commented on nice things and some of your classmates are pretty shocked that you were behind some of the articles there" I bit my lower lip and humiga ulit

Huminga Siya nang malalim at tumayo "I'll call you when dinner's ready or do you want na dito ka nalang kumain?" I looked at him and tumayo

"N-No need sa baba Ako kakain" he nods and slowly ruffles my hair

"That's our little petal" I lightly smiled at lumabas na rin Siya ng kwarto

Baka nga hindi masamang ideya Ang pag announce sa identity ko right? Well, you're wrong........ It just got worse from then on.....
