"Why can't you be more like your brother, Luna?!" sigaw ni papa saakin.

"Because I'm not him! And I will never be him!" I shouted at my father.

"Aba! Sumisigaw kana sa mga magulang mo?!" my father slapped me in the face.

"Stop it, Emmanuel." my mother calmed my father. "Luna, go to your room." she said while pointing at my room. I quickly went there while crying. I locked myself and cried. After a while, my mother went inside my room. "Luna, anak." she caressed me in her arms. "Don't cry, dear. It's okay." she calmly said.

"M-mom.. I'm doing my best naman.. But why?.." I mumbled. Tears started to flow. "Am I not enough mom..? I'm following dads footsteps, but why?.."

"Shhh, love. You're enough, okay?" she wiped my tears off of my face. "Look outside the window. Do you see stars?" she pointed.

"Y-yes.. Why?.." I looked outside the window. And there I saw a billion of stars.

"Those stars are very proud of you. Alam nila kung sino ka. You, are Luna." she tapped me in the shoulder. "I'll be going now. Good night, love." she gave me a goodnight kiss.

"Good night mom." I said while she was closing the door. I went to bed so I can wake up early to go to school.

"Ma, punta nako. Bye" I said while smiling at her.

"Sige, mag ingat ka." She smiled back.

Sumakay nako sa sasakyan. Kuya Evan was there to drive me to school. Pag dating ko sa school, nandoon na pala si Sandra sa gate. Nag hihintay sakin. Bumaba nako and pumasok. "Sandra? What are you doing here sa gate?" I asked her.

"Dali ka, may chika ako sayo." she said excitedly.

"Ano yun?" I looked at her.

"May bagong transferee. Balita ko, gwapo sya at matangkad. Matalino din sya. And he's also a playboy. " she said smiling.

"Talaga? Edi wow." I rolled my eyes.

"Eto naman oh, wag kana nga magalit sakin." she scratched her head. "Ngayon daw sya papasok."

"Paki hanap pake ko." sagot ko naman.

"Ay shala, sorry na!" she scratched her head again.

"Sige na nga. Let's go inside." I pointed at our room and went in.

"Everyone, please settle down and be quiet." our professor said. "Today, we will have a new student. Please come in."

".. Hello, my name is Eric Vellacruz Levualez. I'm 18 years old.." He introduced himself to the class. He was very handsome and tall. And his hair was white like snow.

"Please take a seat wherever you like." the professor smiled at him.

"Wag dito please... My isa naman don oh.." bulong ko sa sarili ko. I crossed my fingers but there was no luck. He sat down next beside me. I closed my eyes and looked at another direction.

"Hey, uhmm.." he poked my shoulder.

"Uh- yes..?" I looked at him.

"Ano pangalan mo?" He asked.

"Why would I tell you?" I glared at him.

"Nag tatanong lang naman ako. Sungit." He looked away.

"Luna. Luna pangalan ko." I told him. He looked at me and said,

"Sasabihin mo din pala eh." he smiled at me. 

"Uh-huh... Why did you ask though?" tanong ko.

"Cute mo kasi." he smirked and winked at me.

"HA?!" lakas kong sigaw. Napatingin lahat ng kaklase ko saakin.

"Luna, why did you shout?" tanong ni professor.

"Pasensya napo, sir.. Hindi napo mauulit." I looked down. "Ba't mo kasi sinabi yun." I glared at Eric.

"Sorry." he smiled.

The bell rang. It was time to go home. While I was heading to the gate, someone tapped me on my back.

"What the-" it was Eric. "Ano kailangan mo?" I stared at him.

"Pwede ikaw?" He smirked.

"Look, Eric. I don't want to be one of your victims." I looked away and walked faster.

"H-hey! Teka lang!" he ran up towards me.

"Ano?" lumingon ako sakanya.

"What do you mean by 'victims'? " tanong nya.

"Aren't you a playboy?" I crossed my arms and glared at him.

"Yeah, so?" he smirked and laughs a little.

"Ugh, leave me alone." I rolled my eyes and got in the car. Kuya Evan was there waiting for me.

"See you tomorrow, sungit." he smiled and waved at me. He's so annoying!

"Kuya, nandon po ba si kuya?" I asked kuya Evan.

"Yes po ma'am." he answered.

"Really?" Tanong ko ulit.

"Yes po ma'am." he answered.

When we got home, kuya and was standing there waiting for me.

"Kuya!" I hugged him. "Kuya, I thought next week ka pa uuwi?"

"We don't have much to do this week. So i went home. Dito nalang ako mag s-study for our next exam." He smiled at me.

"Oh, that's good!" I smiled back.

"What about you? Are you going to be an astrologist?" he asked me.

"Uh.. O-opo kuya.." sagot ko. "Can I borrow your telescope later? Please?" I begged him.

"Alright. I'll put it on the rooftop later." he smiled and pat my head. "Are you going to star gaze later?" tanong nya.

"Yeah.." I did a small smile.
