Tye
Recap
I woke up feeling a bit dizzy. My head felt like someone kept spinning me in a bilog for hours. I close my eyes and lay my head on the grass.
“What the hell--?” I start to tanong myself, but then I realize my voice is a lot deeper then before I jumped the fence. I hold my hand in front of my face, it’s longer and the finger nails aren’t long at all. It looks madami rough and calloused. Like a guy’s hand…
I stand up, realizing that I was taller. I look down at my chest, it was completely flat, yet muscular. My torso’s longer too! So are my legs!
“Whaa--?” I say again.
“Am I a guy now?” I ask myself, afraid to know the answer.
__________________________________________________
“You sure are, Mary!” Somebody says from behind the puno I was by. My eyes grew wide and I half panicked.
“Who’s there?” I say softly, cautiously. I get into a boxing stance, putting my fists up and bending my knees.
Then I see a small boy come out from behind the tree, he looks to be about seven years old. He has blonde hair and brown eyes just like me. His hair is scraggly, with parts sticking up everywhere. He was covered in dirt and he was wearing a black long sleeve sando that hugged his little body. It went down to his knees like a dress. He wasn’t wearing any pants either… He had little brown cat ears on his head and a long brown tail with a white tip coming from behind him. He looked like an orphan kid that was really good at cosplaying…
I blink a couple of times and rub my eyes. Was this really happening? Who is this kid?
He smiled a really cute smile and held his hands up like a cat then said
“Nyaa!”
“Wha--?” I say. Then the kid sits down, so I do too. We both sit tumawid legged on the damo sa pamamagitan ng the tree.
“So, let me ask you… who… or what are you?” I ask, completely dumbfounded.
“I’m your twin.” He says happily, smiling.
“What? My twin?” I tanong looking the boy over again and again.
“Yep. I’ve lived inside of you, looking through your eyes until now. You finally let me out!” The young boy said, again cheerfully.
I made a really confused expression then shook my head. Apparently, I have a twin, he’s a cat… and he looks like he’s se--
“You can’t be my twin! You’re like seven! Aren’t you?” I ponder the entire situation, making my head hurt.
“Hey! That’s not funny! I’m the same age as you, I’m just really small!” He yells in my face. My eyes get wide and so does his. Then sits back down and flattens his shirt.
“You’re fifteen too?” I question, using my hand to ilipat his head around. He has a really annoyed expression on his face but I continue to look at him.
“Yes! Let me explain some things!” He says agitatedly, slapping my hand away.
“Fine.” I sit back using my hands to keep me up.
“Alrighty. I’m your twin, not really a twin like a human would think of but madami like your soul. I am you and you are me. Yet, we are separate people and we each have our own pain. Now we do, but all the other’s are still connected with their twins. Before, whenever you got hurt so did I, but not anymore! Oh, right, now that I’m separated from you, I’m a real person, so… I kind of need you to take care of me, please?” He explains. He throws his hands up when he’s done, still smiling.
I take everything in, the entire situation… store it in my brain and force the rational part of me to accept what’s in front of me. So this little kid is me…? But he’s a boy…
“But, you’re a boy, so how can you be me?” I question.
“What are you talking about? You’re a boy too!” He screams then shakes me like crazy.
“Oh, right… But, I was a girl before, why am I a boy now?” I yell at him, bonking him on the head between his cat ears.
“Not sure, but I’ve always been a boy, that’s why I didn’t understand why you were born a girl.” He says rubbing his head where I hit him.
I sigh, then I get up on my feet, the boy does the same.
“Say what’s your name?” I ask, looking at the puno behind him.
“Name? I don’t have one, you haven’t ibingiay me one yet.” He says putting his little hand to his chin.
“Oh, really? Well then let’s call you…” I think about it for a few minutes, then I finally come up with one.
“Tye! How about that? Do you like that name?” I ask him enthusiastically.
“Sure.” He smiles, but then his mouth forms an o and his eyes widen. “Oh yeah, um will you excuse me for a moment?” He says, pagganap like he has to go pee or something.
“Uh, sure.” I say, then lean against the tree, and whistle. Tye jumps back over the fence with my ability and disappears behind the school building.
I wait for about 10 minutos occasionally looking at the new me. I actually looked pretty hot!
“…“
Huh? What am I saying?! Keep it cool… Keep it cool.
Tye comes back, smiling just like always. He hops over the fence then says
“Hello again. Oh sa pamamagitan ng the way, I had to erase the memory of ‘Mary’ because she no longer exists so no one will know you, not even your parents. I’m really sorry.” His hangs his head low, his cat ears twitching.
At first… I’m angry, but then I realized, it’s not like my parents cared about me anyway. And I bet I could make some new mga kaibigan at school.
All my parents did was drink, party, and not pay the bills. They didn’t even acknowledge me, what so ever. It’s like I was an outcast in my own family. I’ve learned to live with it though. I got a part time job at 7 eleven and I pay for my own clothes and food. I’ve never thought of my parents as parents. They were just people that lived in the same house I did. I’m surprised they even have a house to live in. They’re just pathetic.
I’m kind of glad I’m not forced to be their kid anymore. Ha!
“It’s okay.” I say then I mess up his hair even more.
“Where am I going to take care of you then, Tye?” I ask, already worried for my new little brother. That’s how I thought of him anyway, a little brother! I’ve always wanted one.
“Not sure… Let’s pretend we’re orphans and walk around see if anyone has the puso to take us in.” He snickers. He really is my brother! I laugh then knuckle bump with him.
“Hey, I get a new name now, right? I’ve always liked the name Dean, can I be Dean?” I asked excitedly. I need to start pagganap like a guy, puh…
“Ha ha! That sounds cool!” He says then claps for me. I pick him up and set him on my shoulders, just like a big brother would… the scene almost made me cry.

He didn't seem... mad. Like he should have been. Like he had every right to be.
He stopped maybe a meter away from me. I glanced up, and saw the same look of indecision I had seen on his face the first day.
I had no idea what I was supposed to do. My life is not a perfect little story where happy endings are mandatory.
I didn't expect myself to sink to the floor against the pader and begin crying. There just weren't words to say what I wanted to.
I didn't expect him to sit in front of me and put his hands on my shoulders. He forced me to to look up at him, and he said, "Tell me."

The Man With No Eyes Collection (2): User
It works fast like a drug, when it’s shot through my veins,
And it lights up my fire, when it reaches my brains,
Irresistible tickle, in the depths of my chest,
I dissolve into ashes, and forget all the rest.
If you make my puso dance, I will dance in your hand,
Give me my one desire, I’ll be at your command,
Constant rushes of sugar, swirling mga kulay and light,
There’ll be no troubled sleep, for this body tonight.
This one is short and sweet, sung from the perspective of someone who's willingly being taken advantage of, as long as he gets what he wants. Hence the double meaning of the pamagat "User," which could refer to to an addict, or someone literally "using" another person for their own gain.

My brain is nowhere, my eyes are hungry,
Devouring the warm kahel sky.
It slides down my throat like soup, and pools into my soul.
I skip mindlessly over the hay, with bits of straw kicked up in my stride,
Like a destructive beast, only unknowing.
My dance is like the leaves.
Red- my pace quickens into a mad, hot dash.
Orange- my footsteps slow into a rhythmic tango.
Yellow- I swirl lazily, as if lovestruck.
The mga kulay of fire, burning at different tempos.
The mga kulay of emotion, striking the puso under the skin.
The mga kulay of death, leaving with a few last powerful words.
Fall, without regret, having lived your best life,
And dance toward the sunset with high spirits!

In the darkness,
No one is here for me.
I feel lonely,
And my feet tremble.
The grads have gone,
Some my closest friends...
Remember the times that we had?
We let them slip sa pamamagitan ng when things got bad.
Remember the times...
When we shared a sno-cone
When we cried together
When we laughed together
When we jumped in the pool
All in unison.
It's funny how I feel so much
But I cannot say a word.
I will remember you.
You will always be in my heart.
You have ibingiay me so many memories
To last.
You are a handprint on my heart.
It cannot be erased.
You motivate me.
You are what I can do today.
You are an amazing person.
You are what I am today.
All that I am today is because of you.
You will never leave my heart,
Even if you do leave me in life.

Class ended. As I walked out of the classroom, I still felt sick. I went to my locker and put my stuff away. As I turned around, two tall 11th graders stood in front of me. One of them sinabi "Let's play a game! Its called 'Bully The New Girl'!" My puso trembled with fear. My hands glowed a little black. I quietly sinabi "Go away. You do not want me to hurt you." I guess one heard me, he sinabi "Ohh! Im so scared! Heh, now, no madami stalling!" Just he was about to manuntok me, Bruno grabbed his hand. And sinabi fiercely " Do not hurt her. Or I will hurt you!" Bruno squeezed his hand. The boy screamed loudly. Everyone looked at him. And the two boys ran away with fear. I sinabi " Bruno! How did you do that?" The voice screamed in my head, "He's the one, he's the helper" and he replied "Uhhhhh. I know karate?" I laughed nicely. He smiled warmly. Then sinabi "Ugh, I think I'm gonna puke!" He took me to the girl's bathroom and ran upstairs to get back to class.
