Mahigit kalahating oras ko rin ata yakap ang aking aso. Ayoko pang mawalay sa kaniya ngunit wala akong magagawa. Kahit na hinang hina ako, pilit akong tumayo at gumawa ng isang kabaong para sa kaniya.

He's so special to me. While digging his grave, I cannot control myself to stop crying. I know Naze experience a cruel life, so I am trying my best to create a good funeral for him. I just want him to feel that I am really sorry for what my mother did to him.

Ate Natrix comes on my side while I am preparing to bury my dog. She hugs me tightly. Ate help me with everything to give my dog a decent funeral. She even picked a flower for him.

This is one of the woeful days of my life.

"WHAT happened to your face erp?!" bungad sa akin ni Quias nang makita niya akong paika-ikang naglalakad.

"The usual." I answered.

Inalalayan niya ako paupo sa bench. Nakakabawi na rin naman ako ng lakas ngayon, ngunit masakit pa rin ang aking katawan. Ilang oras na ang nakalipas matapos ang insidente, nandito ako ngayo sa paaralan kasama ang aking kaibigan. It's enrollment today.

Sinabihan ako ni Ate Natrix na siya na lamang ang mag-eenroll sa akin at magpahinga na lamang ako, ngunit kinontra ko siya. Sinabihan ko siyang kaya ko ang aking sarili at matapos ang mahabang diskusyon, napapayag ko siya.

"Fudge. Bakit ka pa pumunta rito? Sana nagpahinga ka na lang." Napailing na lamang ako. Parehong pareho sila ng sinabi ni Ate.

"I have duty."

"Curse that duty of yours. Bugbog sarado ka na nga, iyon pa rin ang iniisip mo?!"

I just nodded. That was true, this is my second to last duty as student patrol, the one who maintains the peacefulness of the school. It's part of my scholarship program here. If I will ditch this, my scholar can be affected. West Wood has a weird requirement in terms of the scholarship program.

Student patrol is like a student council, but they are the ones who take action in all rule breakers in the school. We are in charge to restrain the hard-headed individuals. It's a hard duty, but I can manage.

In terms of my dog, I need to set aside first his death. It is still very painful to me, but I need to move forward. I still have things to fulfill today. I will just cry tonight all my pain.

"Sigurado ka bang kaya mo ang sarili mo?" pangsampung beses nang tanong ni Quias sa akin.

"Oo nga! Uminom naman na ako ng pain reliever at inasikaso na ako ni Ate kanina."

"Sabi mo 'yan ah."

Tumango ako sa kaniya. Totoo naman ang sinasabi ko. Kahit na masakit pa rin ang katawan ko hanggang ngayon, kakayanin ko pa naman. Ayokong magkaroon ng lamat ang scholarship ko.

"Let's go," aya ko sa kaniya.

PUMUNTA muna kaming registrar ni Quias upang mag-enroll. Maaga pa kaya naman ay mabilis lamang kaming natapos. Since grade 11 na kami ngayong taon at pareho rin kami ng field na papasukan, pinili namin and STEM.

My mom wants me to be a chemical engineer, so I decided to take this strand. I don't want to disappoint her. Even she always hurting me, I cannot change the fact that she's the one who gave me life. Also, I still love her despite everything she has done.

After enrolling, we decided to check in on our duty. While fulling my work as a student patrol, I notice some people staring at one spot. A girl is talking to Kraiz Cinco, one of the well-known Cassanova here at West Wood High.
