My birthday is normally a good day, but today was a bad birthday. It started when I was going downstairs for breakfast. Halfway down, I realized I left my glasses in my bedroom. I attempted to turn around and go back, but I Nawawala my footing and tumbled backwards down the stairs. I didn't get hurt, but it scared the crap out of me. It scared my aunt, too. She asked if I was okay, and when I calmed down, I sinabi that I was fine. If that wasn't bad enough, it was even worse at school. While I was doing my classwork, one of my classmates threw a paper airplane at me. It contained a nasty note. I wouldn't dare repeat it. Things got from bad to worse when I got shoved in the janitor's closet and locked in there. I hate the dark. From a young age, I have always hated the dark. The only good part of my twelfth birthday was this. I got a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, which is my favorite. I had quite a day, and I feel tired. Thankfully, tomorrow is Saturday, so I can sleep late if I want. Another plus side is that I won't get bullied at home. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

A few hours later, Una and Everett were comfortably snuggled up together on the couch, sharing the last of Una's chocolates which lay in the open box between them, as the credits rolled on the movie.
"That was so good," murmured Una, her head resting on Everett's shoulder. "You know - I was looking pasulong to your plans, whatever they were going to be, but I was really hoping we'd be able to watch this."
Everett gave a small laugh and shook his head. "I wish I'd known. I could have saved myself all this trouble."
Una grinned. "This year, our Valentine's araw plans were on me," she said. "Next taon I expect it to be your turn."
Everett felt a warm rush at the thought of susunod year, that Una was so certain they would be celebrating Valentine's araw together susunod year. But then... of course, Everett though. He wouldn't have considered anything different.
"I pag-ibig you, Una," he said.
"I pag-ibig you too, Everett," she said.
