“May I see you again?” he asked. There was an endearing nervousness in his voice.
I smiled. “Sure.”
“Tomorrow?” he asked.
“Patience, grasshopper,” I counseled. “You don’t want to seem overeager.”
“Right, that’s why I said tomorrow,” he said. “I want to see you again tonight. But I’m willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow.” I rolled my eyes. “I’m serious,” he said.

Unresolved 07. Birthday
THE WHOLE PLACE is full of energy and vibrance. It’s my 8th birthday and Gran and Papa have organized this party for all of us. Everyone is invited. Including Sophia, of course. Her father, Mr. Cruz, is also here. He greets me a grumpy “Happy Birthday, Kid” and casually goes to the table where papa and the rest of our male neighbors eat and drink. I don’t like this whole idea of inviting Mr. Cruz. But of course, he is still Sophia’s father. And besides, it is customary to invite everyone in the island.
Unresolved 06. The Cave
I PUT A FLOWER on Sophia’s right ear. It’s been three summers since her mother died and so many things had happened. Gran wanted so much to adopt Sophia but Sophia’s father got mad when he heard of the plan. He went to our house and snatched Sophia away. I didn’t see Sophia for a week after that incident.

I think I over-slept,” she says as she gets up and stretches her skinny body, “why didn’t you wake me up!”
Unresolved 04. The Meadow
WE LIVE IN an island called the Free Isles.This island is owned by the richest man in town, Don Felipe Quizon. Our parents are mostly fisherfolks but fortunately, the island is also surrounded with meadows. Coconut trees grow in this part. These meadows are being graced with cows and horses as well. The meadows are our most favorite place. Even if we do not own it, Sophia and I imagine that someday, this place will be ours.
Unresolved 03. Sophia's Braids
I WATCH AS Lucele’s fingers intricately weaves Sophia’s braids.“You are prettier when you wear your braids, my dear one,” Lucele whispers. Sophia sits there, blushing. And I smile to myself. I totally agree with her mother. Sophia is indeed pretty, especially with those braids. Her skin is tanned because of our constant adventures under the sun, but they are smooth. As sm
Unresolved 02. Sophia's Scary House
“GO AWAY!”I sit on the porch as I listen to Sophia’s tantrums. Her house is just several blocks away from my house so I got here for like ten minutes only. And when I knock, she has started shooing me away.“I have food!” I yell back.
