I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO YOU
Audrielyn E. Ulloa

I should have listened to you. You were always there for me. You told me that he will hurt me. But I ignored your warning and still ran away with him. Now I live in the streets with nothing to eat. My clothes are dirty. My skin unclean.
Oh, if only I could turn back time...
Brother, I am sorry. You were right and I was wrong. I know you'll never forgive me for leaving and I am SORRY! I'M A DISGRACE!
I once saw you. Boy, you grew! I used to tease you about how you'll Never have a future if you're as short as a dwarf.
BUT NOW... now you've GROWN! And you're a... a lawyer, just like you wanted! I'm so proud of you.
You have two little girls I believe I heard you call them Lucy and Wendy. And your wife... aww! She's a beauty.
I know you'll never forgive me and I'm sorry!
*gasp* HE SAW ME! MY BROTHER! He... saw... me? Uh... oh how do I look? Pathetic. Stinky. Gross. Ugh!
You said Hi. Uh... Hi... oh, brother! I am sorry! I should have listened to you. I...
You cut me off and pulled me into a hug. I missed you, brother said. And now he's asking me if I want to move in with him. REALLY?
He beamed at me and I... I... I cried! Brother wants me back? He forgives me? He FORGIVES me!
Oh brother, I should have listened to you.

"ME AGAINST YOU" I can't breathe in this white uniform. It's so tight. Release me. Well, Thank yo for your kind words. I know, right. I already expected this. I'm not surprised. Oh! I haven't introduced myself to some of you. For those who don't know me, which only a few don't, I'm Genuino Ontangco,a smart young man or I should say, a genius. Do you need someone to answer your problems? I'm the perfect person to approach. You asked why? Because, I know everything. Give me those equations, I'll simplify it. Give me those problems, I'll solve it. Give me that piece, I'll correct it. Oh............ It feels good to be a genius Sometimes I wondered, maybe if I was born a long time ago, then I would have created all the inventions in this world. Maybe yes! Maybe.................yes! Why can't I? I know everything, remember? Hahahahaha My mother calls me Gene, my nickname. She has been my inspiration,or i mean assistant ever since. H...

FAKE (declamation piece)

FAKE I got this smile, I skip and I play like a kid. I'm happy. People think i'm optimistic, talented and smart. I am religious. I have many friends. Do I look like that? Do I? I hope you're convinced by this synthetic, this fake smile of mine. Most people envy how perfect my life is. How I don't have problems and how I seemed to be fine with everything. But am I? I always smile and agree to everything request. To be fine with everything my so called friends wanted. Do they know that all they're seeing is fake? A mask of fake happiness and glee. That the only reason is, I cannot say no. have they thought of my feelings? are they even my friends? That every time I see them, I have this smile that no one ever dared to disbelieve.
