        "B, it's not so bad! I swear you're still our cutie patootie!" Piper tried to console me with her sweet words and gentle voice but it's still not enough to get rid of the frown on my face.

       "Yeah!" Riley agrees as he tries to hold in his laughter. "You're still our cutie patootie na kulang nalang ng green paint at pasok ka na bilang anak ni Shrek at Fiona!" Riley adds as he once again bursts into a fit of laughter. Riley's been laughing so hard that his pretty boy face is turning red and tears are beginning to come out from his eyes. Piper suddenly stomps on Riley's left foot prompting Riley to scream out of pain.

       "Don't listen to him," Piper insists as if she doesn't find this funny. I know Piper wants to laugh but she's just trying hard not to for the sake of my feelings.

        Don't get me wrong, I love making my friends laugh even if it means embarrassing myself but this situation is just different! My face is in pain and I'm scared of my own voice! What if this is permanent? What if people will laugh at me every time they see my face or hear my voice? My parents will surely feel so bad and sad for me! I don't want them to feel sad, they're in so much pain right now, I don't want to rub salt to their wounds.

        "Humanda talaga ang Hawthorn na 'yon! Pati ba naman ikaw gagaguhin niya?! Okay fine may kasalanan ka sa kanya noon pero hindi naman yon sapat para suntukin ka niya!" bulalas ni Piper dahilan para agad na mapanting ang tenga ko dahil sa gulat. Teka, tama ba yung narinig ko?!

        "Ano ngina—" natigil ako sa pagsasalita nang biglang bumukas ang pinto at nakita kong dumating sina Lucho at Warren. Hiyang-hiya ako dahil sa hitsura ko kaya naman dali-dali akong nagtalukbong ng kumot habang nakaharap sa dingding.

       "Anong problema niya?" narinig kong tanong ni Lucho.

       "Don't ask," narinig ko namang sambit ni Piper saka napabuntong-hininga.

       "Feeling better, Bray?" Tanong naman ni Warren at narinig kong para bang may nilagay siyang mga plastic bag sa bedside table ko. "Got you some sweets from your favorite shop," dagdag pa niya.

        Gusto kong magsalita kaso hindi ako komportableng mapahiya sa harapan nilang lahat sa pagkakataong 'to. Mabuti nalang talaga at nakita ko ang cellphone sa gilid ng kama ko kaya naman dali-dali ko itong binunot.

        Ginamit ko ang cellphone ko para magpadala ng message sa group chat namin.

       "I'm okay my friendses. I just need to rest," sabi ko sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng chat.

        "Guys i-check niyo ang groupchat. May message si Braylee," sabi ni Piper.

       "Ha? Ba't di nalang niya sabihin?" tanong ni Warren.
