Chapter 1

"Hi! I'm Erika Mendoza. Ikaw? Anong pangalan mo?"

"I'm Eliana Brooklyn Evans, I know sobrang haba non kaya Eli or Brook nalang"

"Oo nga, ba't ang haba?"

"Di ko din alam kay mama eh, haha!"

"Ay nandito na pala si Mei"

"Oh, I have to go now Erika. I'm glad to meet you"

"Same with me!"

Erika finally left and went to Mei's side. Sobrang familiar ng pangalan nila, parang may kilala akong ganun or may nabasa akong ganun? Ewan pero sobrang familiar talaga. Natigilan nalang ako sa pag-iisip dahil nakarating na pala yung kaibigan ko, si Natalie Wilson. She's my best friend since we're in 1st year of high school. And now, we're in our 3rd year of high school.

"Ba't ka nakatulala?" -she said habang hinahawi niya yung kamay niya sa harapan ko

"Ah, w-wala lang" -I said and starts to walk back in our room

"Eli! Wag ka ngang mang-iwan"

We finally reach our room and ngumiti nalang ako bigla dahil sa nakita ko. Ang eye smile niya, sweet smiles at yung mala-anghel niyang boses pag nagsasalita siya, yung tawa niya na ang sarap pakinggan…

"Hey! Eli, are you even listening? Nagkukwento dito yung best friend mo tapos nakatitig ka nanaman sa cru--" -Nilagay ko yung daliri ko sa labi ni Nathalie, hays tong bestfriend kong napaka-ingay

"Shh! Nat naman, ang ingay mo"

"Well if that's how you stop from daydreaming, why not?"

"*sigh* okay…"

"Pero yun nga kasi Brook, Ba't ganun yung nangyari kay Erika at Ethan? Ba't ang tragic ng kwento nila? Ba't mo ginawa yun kay Erika? Bakit?!"

Wait… Erika? Did she say Erika? ("Hi! I'm Erika Mendoza") - bigla kong naalala

"Brook, nakatulala ka nanaman"

"Wait, Nathalie. Sino si Erika?"

"Um… You didn't know who is Erika Mendoza? She's literally your fictional character from Maid for Hire! And she's Mei Fernandez's BFF"

"OMG!"

"What? What happened?"

"I know this is really weird and confusing but, I just met Erika and saw Mei"

"What?!!"
