(FHS #3) Most people say she's a rebel, others call her a badass, but Reika De Juan is just a girl who follows her heart. So much that she ends up following the gay of her dreams, even if it means returning to Filimon Heights.

"Anak, kailan daw ang uwi ni Slade?" Dad asked as he placed food on Mom's plate.
"Bukas pa raw po siya pauuwiin ng Dad niya," I replied as I carried Drummer and let him sit on my lap. Itinuro niya ang fried chicken kaya. Inabot ko sa kanya ang Drumstick ngunit nang mahawakan ito, sobrang init pala kaya nahagis ko bigla.
"Chicken!" Iyak agad ni Drummer kaya hindi ko napigilang matawa, hindi dahil sa hitsura niya, kundi dahil naalala ko ang paghagis namin noon fried chicken sa mukha ni Haji.
I smiled at the thought of my friends. I missed them a lot.
I couldn't help but wonder when's the next time we'll get to hang out happily again, together, complete. It had been a week since we had that dinner and it didn't even end well for Sawyer, Magno and I.
"Rei, you okay?" Mom asked as she carried the crying little bean away from me.
"Yeah." I chuckled, brushing it off. "Sorry Drummer." I added, patting his butt.
All of a sudden the doorbell rang. I stood up and volunteered to go outside.
"Tito Addam?" I let out a confused smile when I found him outside the gate. "Pasok po kayo," yaya ko agad.
"Naku, huwag na," he answered and smiled. "Dumaan lang ako kasi may gusto lang akong itanong."
"Bakit po?" I got nervous all of a sudden. Did Megatron threw me under the bus? Sabi ko sa kanya sikreto lang namin na binigyan ko siya ng alcoholic drink para sa 15th birthday niya!
"Did wee-wee tell you where he's going?" he asked, worry evident in his eyes. I got curious all of a sudden.
"W-we haven't really talked since last week's dinner..." Muli akong nakaramdam ng kaba at sa pagkakataong iyon ay naging kakaiba ito. I felt my heart sank. I've been to busy with work that I didn't even got to call him after he dropped me off.
"Oh..." Tumango-tango si Tito.
"Ano po pala ang nangyari?" Pilit kong itinago ang kaba at pag-aalala ko.
"Bigla na lang kasing nagsabi na aalis daw muna siya ng Filimon Heights. Magpapakalayo-layo nang pansamantala para makahinga. Ewan ko ba sa batang 'yon," Tito said while shaking his head in disdain.
"I-I'll call our friends. I'm sure--"
"No..." Tito smiled a little. "Let him be. Maybe your Kuya Weewee just needs some time, away from all this, a time to breathe. Siguro masyado lang talaga siyang na-pressure. I may have been too hard on him lately. This isn't the first time he left on a whim like this."
"P-pero lagi niyang sinasabi sa akin ang lahat..." Hindi ko napigilan ang paglabas ng hinaing.
TIto shook his head as he scratched his temple, as if he was trying to find the right words to say. "Reika, ganito kasi 'yon... Your Kuya Weewee has been complicated for some time now. Mahirap ipaliwanag pero may mga bagay lang talaga na nagbabago."
