Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Christalline's P.O.V

It's been six months.

Six months ko na ding iniiwasan si Ethan.

Masakit nung una.. But now.. I don't know if I'm getting over him or just getting used to the pain.

The fourth month was the saddest.. Kasi sinabi niya sakin na. He 'used' to love me.

And I thought. The saddest thing in the world is loving the person who used to love you.

Well.. that's life.

Lumabas na ako ng bahay at sinundo na ako ni Marcus. Hindi na ako hinahatid nila kuya Ryan at kuya Brook.. instead simula nung magka motorcycle si Marcus.. sakanya na ako sumabay.

"Morning!" bati niya sakin.

"Morning!" bati ko naman.

Umangkas na ako at after 30 min. andito na kami sa school.

Sinamahan ako ni Marcus sa locker room, katulad ng madalas niyang ginagawa.

Madami dami nang nagbago sa 6 months na hindi kami nag usap ni Ethan. Nung una inintriga kami ng Christhan fans kung bakit biglaan ang paghihiwalay namin, hatid sundo na ako ni Marcus, tambayan namin sa tree house, and most of the time.. Kami ni Marcus ang magkasama.. May sari-sariling love life na ang mga kabarkada ko except kay Joshua.. and Gumaganda na din ang status ko sa gazette and sa photography club.

"Mamya movie marathon tayo.." sabi ni Marcus na ngayon ay nakasandal ng patagilid sa katabi ng locker ko.

"Basta sagot mo yung pizza." sabi ko.

"Ayan nanaman tayo eh.."

"Ayaw mo?"

"Papayag ako basta sa theater niyo"

"Sure. Ako lang naman gumagamit nun eh."

Magbubukas pa sana ng topic si Marcus nang biglang may sumingit na studyante sa gitna namin.

"Ahh.. Hi! I'm Vicky.. and I'm the new member of the Gossip Board creator. I just want to interview the two of you." sabi niya.

She looks nervous kaya nginitian ko siya.

"What if we say, we don't have time for that?" pang aasar ni Marcus.

Sinampal ko si Marcus sa balikat.

"Don't be so harsh Marcus!-- Hi! I'm Christalline and this is Marcus. We have lots of time for that. But can we settle a place for that? We can't stand here." sabi ko kay Vicky.

Inaya kami ni Vicky sa may isang side ng school na walang masyadong tao.

"What are we doing here?" tanong ko sakanya.

"Look." hinawi niya yung vines na nakadikit sa wall ng school and there's a door.

"My grand-grand-father is the architect of this school. That's why, I know this." sabi niya.

Pumasok kami and it's a small room with stuffs.

"Ok so let's start the interview." sabi niya.

"Sure." sabay na sagot namin ni Marcus.

Binrowse niya yung papers na hawak niya.

"How's the gazette Christalline?" tanong ni Vicky.

"It's working pretty great and it's really progressing this past 6 months." sagot ko.
