ONE: THE SUSPECT
Suzzane Abalos is one crazy girl. Pretty but crazy. Everybody knows she’s been dating Miguel since he transferred, only because she threatened Migs that she’ll kill herself if he won’t give her a chance. That’s typical Miguel you see, he has been the gentleman of the school. The one who always gets praises since he’s so handsome, so refined, so damn rich, so intelligent yet so cool, and so nice. Who wouldn’t want Miguel Fontanilla?
Things between Suzzane and Miguel got overly dramatic since Miguel is beginning to fall for his bestfriend, which is the next suspect, but let’s leave her first with that.
One stormy afternoon, a gloomy Miguel sat near the podium waiting for Suzzane. He’s been planning to break up with her and is thinking of ways on how to properly tell it to her so as to prevent suicidal threats from the lunatic herself.
“Hi baby. Been waiting long?” Suzzane said then hugs Miguel. He gently shook her off. And Suzzane being overly dramatic as she always is, immediately realized that something is wrong.
“I can’t take it anymore Suzzane, if you really love me, you should accept that I’m not happy with you anymore.” Miguel spoke these words slow, careful and has given emphasis on parts that really matter. Miguel was never once happy with Suzzane you see, she’s not his type. She only forces him since Miguel is someone, no girl, would ever let the chance pass them by without having him.
Suzanne cried, which is expected since she’s a real drama queen. Cried so hard and blurted out,
“Why Migs? Am I not that pretty? Plenty of guys are now fighting for your position, you’re lucky I chose you.” Confused and somewhat relieved that no ‘suicidal attempts’ was made this time, Miguel held her hand squeezed it not because he’s taking her back, but squeezes it to offer her strength to overcome, yet again, another depressing conclusion.
“You are pretty Suzzane, I like you too, but not in the way you want me to like you. Somebody else deserves you, someone better. Someone but not me.” Miguel suddenly wished he hadn’t said he like her, suddenly hoped he had been a little harsher, suddenly prayed he had said bad things like
‘I don’t love you, I never did’, suddenly wished for time to turn counterclockwise so he would drop the gentleman act.
Suzzane Abalos then pointed a finger to Miguel Fontanilla and swore with all her overly dramatic heart,
“You’ll regret this Mr. Fontanilla! Nobody just breaks up with Suzzane Abalos! Your life will be a living hell!”With this Suzzane Abalos was nowhere in sight. Some says she dropped off and transferred. Some said she’d been recruiting girls who had their hearts broken by Miguel to join her in planning for revenge. Some says she committed suicide. Some says she’s been stalking Migs all along. No one really knows. No one had the slightest idea on what is happening to Suzzane Abalos…
Except herself of course.
Beatrice Sy. Miguel’s best friend. They knew each other since the gods know when. The reason why Suzzane Abalos and Miguel Fontanilla broke up.
Everybody is buzzing about their secret love affair. Being together all the time… laughing at each other and in some frequent instances, sharing sweet moments together.
Beatrice Sy is exactly like Miguel Fontanilla, except for the fact that Ms. Sy is a girl. She’s bright, intelligent, undeniably beautiful, in short every guy’s dream girl.
Rumor has it that Miguel Fontanilla confessed to Beatrice Sy…
“Bea, I've been wanting to tell you this…” Miguel stuttered. He never stutters you see, he have this certain confidence that he can always deliver anything he wants to tell no matter what. But this time, Miguel got all tongue-tied that Beatrice Sy, being his childhood friend, knew what was coming.
Beatrice Sy hold his hand and placed it in her heart,
“You know Migs, you knew that it’s Ron all along.” Ron Alvarez, Miguel’s best friend other than Beatrice, but he wouldn’t go down without a fight won’t he. Besides he is MIGUEL FONTANILLA for crying out loud. No one in their right mind would turn down an offer like that.
“Ron has a girlfriend Bea! Wouldn’t you at least give me a chance?” Beatrice Sy, being as gentle hearted as she was smiled helplessly at Miguel gave him a hug and whispered,
“I love him so much Migs, that if I have to wait forever or the life after this just to have him I will. I’m so sorry.”And that was the end of Beatrice Sy and Miguel Fontanilla’s 40 minutes love affair.
Confused why Beatrice Sy is a suspect?? Come to think of it, she hadn’t disappeared. Many times that Beatrice Sy was the reason why some past relationships of Miguel Fontanilla ended tragically. He hadn’t easily recovered at his failure with Bea so he is constantly missing her. So why hadn’t she disappeared in case of course though she wanted Ron Alvarez so bad she also wanted Miguel Fontanilla all by herself.
But who would suspect Beatrice Sy? A kind-hearted girl, who always had a thing in helping charities? No one really knows.
Except herself of course.
Ginny Lacson. The nerd. Ron Alvarez caught her once slipping a love letter in Miguel’s locker. Knowing Miguel’s locker combination, Ron Alvarez opened it and read the letter.
"When love exists, nothing else matters, not life’s predicaments, not the fury of the years, not a physical winding down or scarcity of opportunity."
_YSA_During lunch Ron Alvarez, Beatrice Sy and Miguel Fontanilla sat together in their usual spot in the cafeteria. Which is the last table from the cafeteria’s far left.
“Dude! I saw Ginny Lacson slipped this letter in your locker.” Beatrice and Miguel looked at him. Obviously bewildered how Ron could’ve gotten the letter since the locker is locked. Both of them eyed him suspiciously.
“I figured out your combination! And don’t give me that look!” Ron said glaring at Beatrice.
When the bell rang the three remained seated waiting for the crowd to lessen so they won’t be pushing them when getting all stressed out of being late. When they walked through the deserted lockers, Ron Alvarez heard some whispering and chanting. Curious the three of them peaked at the empty room to take a look.
And there she was Ginny Lacson, chanting inaudibly in front of Miguel Fontanilla’s picture. No one really knows why Ginny is acting that way, since all her chants are failed attempts. Still she continues to praise Miguel Fontanilla’s picture in that empty room everyday. No one knows.
Except herself of course.
There are still plenty of names to add in this list of three people. Angela Chua for instance, the head cheerleader who has been crushing on Miguel since forever. Or Marian Zamora who was dumped by Miguel for the reason that he’s still not over Beatrice Sy. Then there’s also Ms. Amy Pascual, the science teacher who is subtly hitting on Miguel Fontanilla. Suspects are always those who had their past connected with Miguel, all of which are girls. But suspicions also lurks among these names; Ron Alvarez, who knows? Insecurity and not curiosity might have always killed the cat; Alfred Lacson, Miguel’s number one rival… or is the suspect amongst those who hated and are insecure of Miguel Fontanilla… no one really knows until unconsciously everyone is a suspect… everyone who knows or had heard the name MIGUEL LORENZO FONTANILLA became the suspect.
