Prologue
April 29, 2014
It was when we decided to announce our relationship in public. We did it in an informal way, not straight to the point. But I think it was already enough evidence for the public.
Kiefer and I started off as friends. It was after the 75th season of the UAAP when we became close, we exchanged numbers and soon he started courting me. Hindi naging madali. He's from Katipunan and I'm from Taft. We are from Rival schools, our schedules were often unmatched, so meet-ups were difficult. Besides, we also had to consider our fans as our schools' rivalry is quite controversial.
I was so into him, so I said yes and we became a couple. We both agreed to not announce it to the fans immediately. We gave ourselves time to adjust to our new situation, our setup.
Kiefer and I are both star players from our respective schools. He is St. Paul University's Blue Eagle MVP, while I am Wesley College's star volleyball player. Lagi siyang nanunuod ng training ko, he even supported me kahit nang start na yung season. We share our moments on twitter, communicate with the fans, hang out with our friends, he even comforted me when we lost against his school.

Exactly one year after we announced our relationship to the public, one year.
Nahuli ko siyang may ibang kasama at kahalikan. Alyson Vasquez.
I can see from the look of their faces na nagulat sila. Ang tagal nang may nag sabi nito sa akin pero ayaw kong paniwalaan dahil mahal ko si Kiefer. I trust my boyfriend more than my folks. Pero ngayon, nakita na mismo ng dalawa kong mata.
"Y-Ye." Mas lalo akong napa iyak ng tawagin niya ako gamit ang nickname ko, when he was supposed to use our endearment.
"Kief, I'll head out first." Tatayo na sana si Alyson nang pigilan ko siya.
"No. You stay." Utos ko dito at naupo sa tapat nilang dalawa. Kinakabahang tumingin sa akin si Kiefer.
"I- I can explain." Nginitian ko nalang silang dalawa. Sarcastically.
"No need. My eyes saw everything." I smirked and bit my lower lip. I wanted to try so hard to stop myself from crying. Ayokong makita nila ang pagiging vulnerable ko sa ganitong sitwasyon. "Gano katagal na?" buong-tapang kong tinanong.
"Three months."
I heaved a sigh. Nakita ko ang mga babala, I had a hunch, but I trusted him. I did not want to believe that he was really cheating on me. Fool me for being so in love with him that he managed to hide his affair for three months.
"I'm sorry Ye." He added.
Napa tingin ako sa kanilang dalawa. Halata sa mga mata nila ang pagmamahal. Pagmamahal ni Kiefer kay Alyson na higit pa sa akin. Masakit sa loob. He has never looked at me the same way he's looking at Aly. And I hate to admit it but I am really hurting.
Ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko?
I just let go of that day. Hinayaan ko nalang sila. Kasunod nito sng pag labas ng balita ng pag kumpirma namin ni Kiefer sa break up. Rumors started to circulate around. Akala nila, ako yung nanloko.
Hah. You think so. Pero, pwede din naman nating gawing totoo yung iniisip ng mga tao sa akin.
And that's when I started being bad.
