(FHS #3) Most people say she's a rebel, others call her a badass, but Reika De Juan is just a girl who follows her heart. So much that she ends up following the gay of her dreams, even if it means returning to Filimon Heights.

Pagdating ko sa bahay mula sa eskwelahan, hinagis ko agad ang backpack ko sa sofa. Pupuntahan ko sana agad si Slade sa kwarto niya pero bigla akong tinawag ni Daddy mula sa kusina.
"Tawag mo ako?" Kunot-noo kong tanong at nadatnan ko siyang gumagawa ng mga sandwich.
"Yeah. How's school?" Nilingon niya ako sabay ngiti.
"Okay lang." I shrugged as I sat on the counter stool. "Kanina pa ako inaantok." Sabi ko na lang.
"Anong oras na pala kayo nakauwi?" Dad casually asked when I know for a fact that it's one of those parental interrogation moments. I bet if our relationship was as smooth as other families, todo sermon na 'to sa akin.
"About 4 in the morning? We arrived in Filimon Heights at around 3 but we had to drop by a 7/11 and hang out for a while. Sabi ni Sawyer para daw mag pagpag." I explained as I grabbed a sandwich from the plate to eat.
Dad sighed and went silent for a few moments. Tumayo ako mula sa kinauupuan at aalis na sana pero muling nagsalita si Daddy.
"Anak, 'wag ka sanang magagalit, pero sinabi kasi sa akin ni Slade ang reaksyon mo kagabi sa lamay." Dad said but I felt the hesitation in his words. I suddenly felt a tug of guilt. Masyado ba talaga akong mabilis magalit?
"It's fine." I shook my head and chuckled. "I guess I just got a little freaked out. It's a dead body, after all. No biggie."
"You haven't seen a dead body before?" Dad asked curiously.
I shook my head and smiled. "Vicky was the first. Remember her?"
Dad stilled as he looked at me with so much guilt and sadness. "A-anak, pasensya ka na kung wala ako sa tabi mo nang mga--"
"It's fine." I assured him with a smile. "Gramps and Grams were with me during that time... Mom was there too. It's not a big deal."
The mention of Gramps gave me a sinking feeling while looking at Dad. All of a sudden, the guilt in my heart came back, even heavier.
"Reika, you can always talk to me. Tandaan mo yan lagi." Dad assured me kaya ngumiti ako at tumango.
Hindi na ako komportable sa usapan namin kaya inagaw ko na ang plato na may mga sandwich. "Ialay ko muna 'to sa Demonyo. Thanks!"
