2 Prologue

"Coraleen, 'di ka ba natatakot na kuyugin ka ng fangirls niyang si Divinagracia sa mga pinagsusulat mo?" Wednesday asked, shaking her head. Masyado na talaga siyang praning dahil sa mga "death threats" kuno ng mga fans ni Archer sakin.

I rolled my eyes on her before I typed my pseudo name in my blog entry for today.

"CertifiedArcherDGHater?" she snorted. "'Yan talaga ang username mo? Grabe, ah. Pinag isipan."

I beamed at her sarcastically. "'Di naman kasi kailangan pag isipan pagdating sa gagik na 'yan."

She laughed loudly, then stopped. "'Di kailangan pag isipan? Look at that!" she pointed at my laptop. "Gosh, Coraleen. You spend your nights writing about that guy! Obsessed ka na girl!"

"No-uh. I'm not. At least man lang dito sa blog ko, I can let the people take a good glimpse kung sino talaga si Archer Divinagracia."

"Eh, sino nga ba talaga siya? Sure ka ba, na lahat nang sinusulat mo diyan, eh legit? Or pure accusations mo lang?"

I looked at my friend with unbelieving eyes. "Ano ba kita? Kaibigan o konsensya?" Pissed, I closed my laptop and sipped on my coffee.

She shook her head disapprovingly. "Ay naku, Cora.  You're crazy, you know that, right? Sana lang wala makaalam na ang Editor-in-Chief ng The Hawk, eh also known din pala as, Archer's number one hater."

•••

"Your hater's at it again, Paps," Enoch said, getting my attention. "So much animosity! Is this your ex? O baka isa 'yan sa mga pinaasa mo?"

I shook my head, chuckling, and chose not to respond on his latter remark. Enoch is my best bud, and he surely enjoys teasing the heck out of me.

"I don't even know if that's a guy or a girl," I told him.

"With a writing like this? C'mon! It's obviously a girl," dagdag niya pa, habang titig na titig parin sa phone niya.

Hindi na ako sumagot, at pinagpasyahan na lang na basahin ang tinutukoy niyang blog nang tahimik.

I sighed as I read every word. I couldn't help but be amused and be bothered by this anonymous hater.

If this a girl, ewan ko kung ano ang problema niya sakin. I got a lot of haters, but this one is really something.

This person hates me so much, as if I've killed someone, and she saw it!

She typed every word like I am sort of a criminal that needs persecution.

My eyes caught her pen name.

"CertifiedArcherDGHater," I read, chuckling. This blogger is really into this hating game so much, it's funny, but also intriguing.

I ignored everything this blogger wrote in the past, but now. . . hmmm.

Ano ba kasi ang nagawa ko sa kanya for me to deserve this kind of hate? Mayabang ba talaga ako tulad ng sabi niya? Gaano niya ba ako kakilala, for her to write a blog like this?

Whoever she is, kung "she" ba talaga siya, kikilalanin ko siya, and I'm gonna prove to her that I am not what she thinks I am . . . or I was.

Kaso, pano ko siya hahanapin? I'm so busy with my trainings and school stuff. I sighed, still looking at the blog.

Well, bahala na. I will figure something out.
