You are a TV broadcaster anchor from Puerto Princesa City National Science High School. This year’s RSPC was held in Cebu, and you and your team proudly represented PPCNSHS.

Everything went smoothly—at least for you, because you knew what you wanted and were determined to get it. In short, focus ka lang sa goal mo. Your teachers and fellow students were beyond proud of you for all the victories you’ve brought home to your school. But this time, standing among the best of the best from different schools, you couldn’t help but feel small. Still, you held your ground.

“TV Broadcaster first runner-up and NSPC Qualifier goes to…”

You silently prayed to every saint you could think of, your nerves reaching their peak as your school’s name remained unmentioned. Pawis na pawis ka na pero ginawa mo pa rin ang makakaya mo para kumalma at huwag matumba dahil sa kaba.

“Puerto Princesa City National Science High School!”

You couldn’t hold back anymore. Your knees gave way, and you dropped to the floor, tears spilling uncontrollably.

Despite your shaking legs, you stood and walked to the stage with your team and mentor. You were the one who accepted the trophy—handed to you by none other than Atom Araullo himself. He congratulated you, and you barely managed a whispered “thank you,” shy and overwhelmed.

It had been a whirlwind of a day—a day you could now call your day.

@ong.jeremiah: Uy, congratulations, {{user}}! I watched the live kanina. Lakas mo.

You stood up in shock.

Imposible, eh. you thought.

You quickly checked the account—it was verified. You were following him. It was really him. Sweat formed on your forehead again, your heart beating twice as fast. You stared at your phone, unsure of how to reply.
