*Short romance story, I'm guess it's cliche. Please don't copy and please read and review, summary under :)*
Summary: Jonah Grey is really getting on my nerves. Everyday at lunch he keeps on throwing kendi to my spot at the mesa with my friends. Why? He’s trying to aggravate me…or maybe not.
+
“He’s doing it again! Why can’t he stop!” I whined, swatting away a kendi bar.
“You should just talk to him, that’s all he wants.” Vivian, my best friend since pre-k suggested.
I scoffed. “All he wants is another reason to annoy me.”
Vivian glanced at me carefully. “You know he feels sorry.”
“Just drop it, okay.” I said, tiredly, rubbing my temples.
You see, over a few weeks ago, Jonah and I started dating, we were close mga kaibigan and we felt there was more. But during our nakaraan time of us being ‘together’ I caught Jonah halik another girl.
Kissing! Another! Girl!
Who happened to be a person I despised and made my life a living hell since middle school. So after that I broke up with Jonah as mga kaibigan and madami than friends.
He keeps on telling me that he’s sorry, that it didn’t mean anything, that she kissed him. But he kissed her back, he betrayed me, and I can’t see anything repairing between us too, I’m just done.

I walked to class and sat at my normal seat, susunod to Jessica, my preppy other friend in my group of friends. But don’t let her preppy-preppy I’m a goody two shoes appearance fool you, she can be pretty wild and she doesn’t like school that much.
As for me, I like school, I know totally nerdy and all, but I’m just fascinated here. We learn new things and make new friends, I owe school a lot, it’s a refreshing distraction. That is, if Jonah Grey didn’t exist.
“Hey nerdy boo!” Jessica squealed, hugging me.
“Hey preppy poo!” I squealed just as enthusiastically hugging her back.
“So did you hear?” Jessica said, while putting her lip gloss on, we were early and the kampanilya wouldn’t ring for about four minutes, so we had time.
“Hear what?” I asked. Jessica was the gossip one in our group, she knew everything and everyone that went around this school.
“That were having a pop quiz?” She raised an eyebrow at me.
I groaned. “How did you know?”
“Nothing gets past me,” Jessica sinabi mysteriously, winking at me. She turned her head and her grin dimmed a little. “Jerk coming this way.”
I turned my head, seeing no other than Jonah walk into class. His eyes landed on me, and we just stared at each other for a few seconds, before the kampanilya rung and he quickly walked to his seat.
Jessica rolled her eyes. “When is he ever gonna get it through his head, poor thing still thinks he has a chance.”
When she looked pointedly at me, I looked away, squirming uncomfortably. I didn’t like that look in her eye, it was one of annoyance and jealousy. Jessica may be the popular one in our little group, but she was also lonely, her relationships have never ended well, and she always has crushes on any guy who lands on her eye, convinced that he’s ‘the one’. But there always not, Jessica either gets used or cheated on.
But that’s because she always picks the wrong guy, we warn her but she doesn’t listen. So of course she would be jealous of an ex-boyfriend who’s determined to win me back.
Classes went sa pamamagitan ng in a blur and then it was time to head home. But as I was making my way to my bus an arm grabbed. Startled I turned and faced my attacker, ready to scream but I instantly scowled.
“What do you want?”
Jonah rolled his eyes. “You already know what I want, or madami accurately who I want.”
I felt my cheeks heat up as I looked away from his intense gaze. “Let me rephrase that, what are you doing?”
“I just needed to talk to you,” he explained. “But gosh woman! You ilipat fast, and I can’t keep up all the time, I had to get your attention.”
“By pretending to attack me!” I yelled incredulously.
“It got your attention didn’t it?”
Jonah went on ignoring my fiery glare, which wasn’t working it’s looks can kill magic. “I just…wanted to tell you I’m sorry-”
“You already sinabi this a million times!”
“Well I’m saying it again!” He yelled, glaring at me, but continued in a much softer voice. “Just let me finish, okay?”
I crossed my arms, but didn’t say anything.
“I messed up big time, Fawn,” he paused, and I felt the usual tingly sensation when he sinabi my name. “I know I kissed her back, it was wrong, but it really didn’t mean anything. I pag-ibig you! Not her! Look, I’m not asking you to get back with me, I just need to know you forgive me.”
“I’ve already said-”
“But did you really mean it? Were not mga kaibigan anymore, we barely talk anymore, and you can barely look me in the eye.”
“Jonah, I don’t think I can.” I say, quietly, feeling tears pool my eyes.
“I’m not rushing you,” he whispered, tucking a lock of my hair behind my ear. “But please tell me what your answer is at lunch.”
“Lunch? What does lunch have to do with any of this?”
“You’ll know at lunch.”
With that he lightly brushed his lips on mine, and swiftly turned away, heading off in the direction I assumed he came from.
+
“Then he just kissed me, and walked away!”
“Interesting…” Jason, my adopted brother sinabi after I told him everything that happened, rubbing his chin, eyes scrunched adorably up in thought.
“What am I going to do Jay? I mean, I want to forgive him, give us another try, but…”
“But what?” Jason asked patiently, as if he was a psychiatrist and I, his patient.
“I’m afraid if I let him back in my life, he’ll screw up again, I don’t thing anything can be repaired between us. Do you?”
“You say every single lunch time he throws tsokolate bars at you, right?” He continued when I nodded. “Well, what if that tsokolate bar symbolizes your relationship?”
I gave him a blank look.
Jason rolled his eyes. “The tsokolate bar, is like your relationship, which is now up in the air falling ready to hit the ground and break and be gone forever. What if he wants you to pick that tsokolate bar up, as your way of saying ‘I forgive you, let’s start over’.”
“Do you really think so?”
Jason shrugged. “Makes the most sense.”
“Is it worth a try?”
“It is, Fawn, take a risk.”
I grinned at him. “You should look into becoming a psychiatrist, your really good.”
Jason wrinkled his nose. “And listen to people’s problems when I have my own, no way, I’m only doing this because I pag-ibig you sis.”
I hugged him hard. “I pag-ibig you too buddy."

The weekend passed sa pamamagitan ng quickly, and Monday rolled over soon and lunch came even faster. My puso pounded as I saw Jonah who was busy talking to his cronies.
“I think it’s time,” I tell Vivian and Jessica, who nod at me encouraged. We get our pagkain and the time for kendi throwing comes, I’m impatient and occasionally look to his table.
But I soon get tired of turning my head, so I paid attention to my mga kaibigan and ate my lunch. As if rehearsed a kendi bar soars through the air, landing right in my tray of delicious food. Normally, I would’ve been angry at a good meal ruined. But today, I smile as I pick the kendi bar up, and hold it in the air.

I'm cheerful on the outside yes, but under this huge hyperfilled, cheerful girl is a fragile antique.
On the outside some see me as normal or energetic maybe the one mansanas with a hole in the barrel.
I'll plaster a smile every now and then to ipakita the me-the fake me- to disguise the actual one pulling the strings.
As I stand before the mirror starring at myself I see that figure looming behind me his hand on my shoulder.
And at that moment my mask breaks and I'm stunned at my actual self.
I'm filled with depression, sadness, anger and haterid.
Never did I want to ever see the true me.
The mirror breaks and the man susunod to me whispers "Your mine." I look down in defeat.
Dropping to the ground-on my knees-I begin to cry.
He got the better of me and now I am no more.
"I'm a monster." I say to myself through a sob.

I am a broken-winged eagle
Who cannot fly
Because I have set no goal for myself.
Other people laugh and scoff at me,
And I know that I must quickly find something
To hope for.
Everyday I think,
"What's the use? Nothing is my talent. Give up."
People think I am nothing but stupid,
But I can see that light within myself.
I have not yet soared.
I have not yet found my dream.
One day, I find something unique to dream for.
Writing.
Something that can take me to faraway places
Anywhere, beyond this universe.
And now I can soar.
Far, far, faraway
Where no one can catch me.
Where no one can disturb me.
Where I can be free.
Where I will no longer be
A broken-winged eagle.

Let us hold hands in joy
Let us sit on the warm white sand
And let us watch the sun set tonight
We're gonna be a pair
We're gonna fly away
And let nobody go into our minds
Toni-i-ight
We're gonna slowly stand up
Listen to the waves
Roar and wash into the sand
And I'm gonna lean on you
Oh where were the times?
Where were the moments?
It seems like last year
When I kissed you and locked eyes
The sun's settin
But we're never gonna leave each other
Not if we stay together
Like ever...like forever
Watch the sun set
Watch the waves roll into each other
Oh my dear,
We're gonna never be separated
Sun sets,
Waves roll,
We're gonna sleep...
