7TH: PROTECT

After that day with Jay, I realized he has so much goodness in him. I wished I was like him in the past, maybe he can like me more seriously. Because I feel like, he's just making things up about him liking me, it's too impossible. 

"Heeeeey." 

"Heeeey, Ashhhh" 

"Heeeey." 

 I looked at Lily, when did she-- 

"Uhm, hello, Ash. I've been here since 800 years ago. Why are you not responding to my texts?", she complained. Oh, you texted? I checked my phone and there is like 10 text messages. 

 "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." 

I remember now, Lily meet up with me because she has something to talk about. What could that be? 

"Ash, I have a problem.", and the next thing she said got me really mad. 

 I called Jay, maybe he can help us. I don't know anymore, I'm shaking. I'm afraid. I'm mad. I'm sad. My best friend is experiencing this kind of thing, I can't take it. "Ash? What's the problem?", Jay ran to me. 

"Jay, please help us. Help Lily please. S-She's being blackmailed. Please, Jay... I'm begging you, please. We don't know what to do.", I couldn't help but cry. 

My best friend is being blackmailed by her ex-boyfriend with her nude pictures. He said if she will not give the money he wanted, he will post the pictures in all social media sites. My best friend kept sending money to him, and everytime she does that, he won't delete it and use it again to blackmail her. What a cruel situation she's in. I can never blame her for her mistake, only God knows what happened. But I will not let my best friend be treated this way. 

"Don't worry, Ash. I will help, okay?", Jay hugged me tight and comforted me. Thank you so much, Jay. 

 "First, tell me all the details of what happened and how did it come to this situation.", Jay said, so we sat down in the benches and talked. Lily explained everything. 

 Jay contacted his Father' friend, an investigator and reported this problem. He said everything will be fine, because the police will investigate about it and will prevent anything to happen. 

 "Don't worry, Lily. The Police will surely help you and will make this report confidential, of course, that jerk of an ex-boyfriend of yours will face the penalties he deserves. It includes fines, and imprisonment. You can rest assure now, as long as you cooperate with the police.", Jay explained. 

 "Jay, thank you so much. Thank you for helping Lily.", I hugged him. 

 "No problem, Ash. The online world is a dangerous place and it is the house of cyber crimes, so we all need to prevent it to happen to us. And always remember, I am always here to protect you, whether online or in real life.", he said while looking at me in the eye. 

 "Ash? Jay? My mom is here, we're gonna go now. Take care, thank you so much for helping me out.", she bid goodbye and ran to her mom. It's just me and Jay now, awkward. 

 "Oh, Ash? You don't have to force yourself to me. I mean, I know you don't like me. You only see me as a friend. And I accept that.", he suddenly said. 

 Did he really think I don't like him? Idiot. 

 "Are you sure you're just gonna accept it like that?", I said while looking at his frowning face. 

 He nodded. 

"Then, what if I tell you, I like you too?" I said then smiled at him. 

His eyes widened, shocked to what he had heard. 

"Yes, you heard it right, Jay. I like you too, yes I'll be your girlfriend."

6TH: SECURE

Why is my laptop lagging and broken?!?!?!?!?!?! 

 "Lily, my computer system shut down!", I called her. 

 "I guess, you gotta see Jay? Ask for help.", she suggested. What? No, no, no.  "I don't want to! No! Never! He's making me crazy!", I shouted at the end of the line. 

 "Well, that's just a suggestion. No sweat if you don't want to.", then she hang up. Why is she being like this to me?! And why should I ask that jerk? Is he some kind of a hacker or what? Then my phone rang. An unknown number. 

"Hello? Who's this?", I asked. "I hope you didn't forget about your future boyfriend.", a man said at the end of the line. 

 "Huh? What? Ohmaygosh, Jay?!", I shouted in shock. How can he know my number? 

 "Is that a good sign? Are you gonna say yes to me now?" 

 I like you, but I don't like you. That's my answer now. I ended the call and blocked the number. Seriously, I don't like talking to him now. I checked my laptop again, maybe I can retrieve it somehow. After 3 hours, I just couldn't do it.

So, I went out of the house and ate at a nearby siomai house. I'm too stressed, I need to chill. Then, a familiar face came to my table. I looked at him, it's Jay.

"What do you want?", I asked. "I never thought I'd find you here, Ash.", he smiled. Wow, he got such an angelic smile and a mind of a demon. I smirked and ate my siomai.  Why do I always see him these days? Then, tried to open my laptop again, maybe I can open it by now. Arggh. I scratched my head out of frustration. "You know, you can always ask for my help about that laptop of yours.", he suddenly said. He sat at the opposite side of the table. 

 "You're still here?", I looked at him. He smiled and told me he's waiting for his little sister. Then, a little girl came with an ice cream. 

"Kuya, someone tried to steal my ice cream. But I scared them away. Hahahahaha.", she laughed brightly. Jay patted her head and told her she did good. I never realized Jay is such a brother figure. He's very gentle to his sister. 

"Kuya, who is she? Is she your girlfriend?", the little girl teased. "Not yet, Ellie. But I hope soon she will be.", Jay smiled at me. Ohmayghad, why do you have to say that. "Really? Ate, can you join us today? Pleaaaase, pretty pleaaaaseee.", she begged with a cute face. 

"Okay, sweetheart.", I said then smiled at her. Me, Jay and his little sister strolled the park, Jay was so sweet to his little sister, it was as if she is more important than everything in this world. But my account is still hacked, I hate this! Ugh. But atleast I've got to see this side of Jay. 

 "Hey, thank you for joining us today. Will you let me repay you for saying yes to my sister today?", Jay asked. I smiled at him, and said, "Actually, I changed my mind. Can you help me retrieve my laptop? Please."

"You're really cute, Ash. It's like you're not your self when you beg. But okay, I will help you." 

 Then, that's it. I learned that Jay is actually a White Hat Hacker. I never knew there are kinds of hacker, there are White Hat Hackers who enhances the security, while Grey Hat Hackers are those who still enhance the security and does not have a malicious intent but sometimes violates the law, lastly is the Black Hat Hacker is a hacker who violates computer security for personal gain. At first, I thought, people who hacks whether their intentions are good or bad are just called a "hacker". I never knew they have kinds. 

 "As I figured, your laptop is hacked because you probably clicked on a Worm. In case you don't know a worm is malware that uses computer network to spread itself. It corrupts your system and corrupts your files, that's why your system shut down.", he explained. I nodded. Wow, never knew he's so knowledgeable about these stuff. "So, can you retrieve it?", I asked. 

Pretty please, please be retrieved. There are so many important files in there! What should I do if it won't work. 

 "There you go. It's done, it's back to its original state.", he smiled and patted my head. My eyes brighten up, and I accidentally hugged him out of excitement. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"That was too fast, Ash. I could've wanted more.", he laughed again. Why is he always teasing me? 

"Uhm, wait Jay, what can I do so that it won't happen again?", I asked again. 

"You can download an anti-malware software or security suite like Bit Defender or Nortol. And don't go clicking suspicious links or emails, okay? And make your online information more private.", he advised. 

 "Thank you, Jay. Thanks a lot, let me treat you next time!", I said and smiled. 

"Well, Ms. Ash, you know what I want. I'll accept your heart as a payment." Then, my cheeks turned red.

5TH: Concept Paper

(This story is made purely for creative writing, the purpose of this is to fulfill the academic requirement in ICT.)

Ohmygosh. Can I just slap myself for a hundreth time? Did Jay just asked me to be his girlfriend?! Was that serious?! And did I really win!? Was that a joke?!

It's probably a dream, right?

I saw him now, and I can't bring myself to let him see me.

"Ms. Ash, you are late again!?", my teacher scolded me as I entered the class in the middle of the discussion.

I entered without greeting her and it totally pissed her off. "Ms. Ash, if you are so smart, that you don't need to be early for school, can you please explain these terminologies in the board? Show us how smart you are then."

Seriously!? This teacher is really pissing me off.

I immediately called Lily which is at the very edge of the room. She answered, thank goodness. Luckily, I am still wearing my earphones. She explained every terminology which I also explained to this teacher that is totally pissing me off.

"If I answer all of this, will you leave me alone?", I asked looking at her.

"Sure, Ms. Ash. I will not even let you make a Concept Paper."

I smirked. Great! Then...

"Introduction in the concept paper includes the mission and vission of the group. While in the Purpose, it includes the reason why the project is worth the time and money of your sponsors and group. The Description gives all the necessary information about the project. While in the Support, budget and the finance that is needed is included in here. Lastly, the Contact, ofcourse it involves in how the group can be contacted. That's all, Thank You." I sat and everyone was so silent.

"Tsk. You escaped for now, Ms. Ash."

"That look in her face was awesome. Luckily, I already made a Concept Paper a long time ago for my project in our Youth Group. It wasn't hard.", I bragged to Lily.

Lily sighed, "Stop that! You nearly killed me, I was so nervous, I thought my heart is gonna explode."

It’s break time now, Lily and I are talking in our tables when Jay gave us a piece of paper.

Saying, "Will you be my girlfriend now?"

"Ohmygosh, Ash?", Lily was surprised.

I ran again. Dude, I really can't! I can't!I can't!

4TH: "CHANGE"

(This story is made purely for creative writing, the purpose of this is to fulfill the academic requirement in ICT.)

So, yes, I am slowly losing my image because of being inlove to Jay. Can this just stop? Srsly.

"Hey, Ash. Can you represent us for the Online Advocacy Contest for Change?", a classmate of mine asked.

I raised my eyebrow, "Do you see me being interested in that? Get lost.", I said coldly. Dude, why not do it yourself? Tsk.

"Jay, do your best! I'm pretty sure you'll win that contest.", I overheard my classmates behind me. So, Jay will join the contest?

"I don't think so, it'll be hard to get the 1st Place since I know Ash will join the contest. Right, Ash?," My eyes widened.

"U-uh, Yeah. Yeah. I will join."

Okay, what just happened!!! I am srsly in trouble!!! Did I just join the contest without a fight!? Damn you, Jay! If only I don't like you! Tsk.

So, yeah, whatever I joined. I made a website about My Advocacy for the Farmers. I opened the Change.org website to start doing it.

As I was doing it, I realized, t's really a great thing that we are technologically enclined now. We can now send news and informations about our social problems in the Philippines and it is one way of sending messages all over the world in just a click. Communication Technologies are such a great help for change.

"Hey, Ash. May the best Advocacy win!", Jay said as he passed by me.

"Okay.", I said and rolled my eyes.

The next day, it was the day for the announcing of winners.

"Ash? Are you ready for a change?", Jay asked as I was sitting beside him in the participants' place, there was only a champion and a 1st runner up to be announced, and there are the two of us.

"Huh?", me, being confused.

"And the Champion is...", the announcer announced.

"Ms. Ash!"

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

That day, I did not know what to celebrate.

3RD: Girl Crying Like A Car

(This story is made purely for creative writing, the purpose of this is to fulfill the academic requirement in ICT.)

Okay, my heart is beating like crazy. I need to calm down, inhale, exhale. Something just happened, really crazy just now.

I walked inside the canteen and saw Jay with his friends in a table just near me. So, I kinda eavesdrop on their conversation and surprisingly I noticed that they were watching something in a phone, at first I thought it was porn, so I shouted at them by saying, "Hey! Is that...?!"

They all looked at me and I saw that it wasn't actually porn, I was really embarrased! Srsly! It was just a youtube video entitled "Girl crying like a car".

So I watched it with them, and I laughed so much because the girl was really cringe and mushy, it was all dramatic and all. Then, all of a sudden, Jay looked at me and said, "You're so pretty when you laugh, you make me want you more."

And I ran like an idiot out of the canteen cause that made my heart beat like crazy, it almost exploded right in front of Jay.

Myghad, why do I even have to see that video! It was so funny though, thank God there are Interactive Sites like that, now Jay made a very sweet phrase.

2ND: Trello Tip

Well, believe it or not, my feelings hasn't changed. I am not making any progress, at all! I am still head over heels to Jay, which is I don't know, a good thing? or a bad thing? I just can't get him out of my mind. He's so persistent, and always smilling, he's so annoying.

"Ashy, you're inlove," my friend Lily interrupted. Huh? Am I that obvious?

"Aaaaaargh! How can I even do this, I am not used to having feelings for someone, Lily. I can't believe falling in love is such a pain in the ass. Wish I could go back to being that hard-headed, no-care lil punk ass queen I was. But how?!", I exclaimed.

"Wow. You sure talk a lot now, Ash. Way to go, Jay! You really knock her out of her zone. Okay, I like Jay for you by the way. Since, I am your bestfriend, I am obliged to shower blessings upon your hopeless romance.", she annoyingly said. Is she really serious?!

She opened her laptop, and browsed in the internet. Then, she typed, "Trello.com".

"What is that?"

"Just a website to help you. Hihi", she laughed.

Then she typed, "How to make someone fall in love with you." Wait what?!

Then there were lists that came out that came from a lot of accounts.

"So, this website gives us tips?"

"Yes, and the more exciting is that if you have an account, you can collaborate with lot of people from all over the world, see? Distance doesn't matter.", she explained. Okay, that's great.

"Let's try!"

So, I made an account made lots of lists of lots of things. I can now work with someone online. Atleast, this will get my mind out of Jay.

1ST: Webxciting

Hi! I'm Ash. I was always a problematic child in my family's eyes. Well, that's the in the past now, I decided to live as a good person. I've always wanted to make my parents proud, but I guess, I overdid it. I always followed the freedom I had in mind, not minding others and that totally goes with not caring unto what they feel. But now, I'm gonna become good.

Well, that's a joke.

I don't really care what will others think of me, because duh who cares? I'm the queen of me. No one can stop me, even my parents. Well, not until I met Jay. The school's most annoying teenager.

Not really annoying. He always has this smile plastered in his face, he's so friendly, so kind, so caring, so smart, and he's handsome too---for Christ sake why did I admit that? Well, I unexpectedly liked him. Which is the complete opposite of me. Argh. I can't believe this.

He's just one seat behind me and I can't help but to look behind, just to see his face.

It's annoying to fall inlove. Seriously.

"Hey, Ash? Would you mind helping me with something?," Jay asked.

Why is my heart beating so loud, dude, stop. "What is it? Srsly, you guys should know how to leave me alone," I frowned in his face.

Am I blushing? Can I just stop this nonsense, I can't afford to lose my image.

"Haha, you're so cute, Ash. Just help me in making a website, then I'll leave you alone. That's a promise." Then, reached out his pinky toe to emphasize the promise.

I slapped it, and said, "Okay, fine. Geez, I'm not a child."

We went to the computer lab and went on with it. I am sitting beside him and he smells good too. Gahd.

"First, open the notepad, so that you can write HTML document," I said while he follows my instruction.

"In making a website using HTML, of course you need a web browser to know if your website is fine or not. So, the basic rules in making this, is that you need to enclose your tags by brackets such as <tag> and of course end it with this </tag>. You get it?", I explained.

He just looked at me. Okay, Jay. Stop, I'm gonna burst. "Why are you blushing, Ash?", he asked.

"I'm allergic to your smell. Srsly, do you even take a bath?", I lied. He smelled his shirt, and confused he asked, "I smell fine. I guess, I'm gonna take a bath later.

"Hey, Ash? Do I write the tags as uppercase or lowercase?", he asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Actually, Tags are usually written in uppercase with attributes and values in a small letter enclosed by quotation marks. Oh, and by the way, if you want to put color, just type this."

We finally, finished it after 1hour of being together. I'm sweating a lot today, I'm so nervous when he's around. But I will never ever confess to him, I know this will pass, my feelings will fade if I see something in him that I wouldn't like. Yes, that must be it!

"Are you free this Saturday?", he suddenly asked.

Ohmygahd. Is he srsly asking me for a date?! Help me, I'm dying.

"Why? I'm probably busy.", I said looking forward, I'm such an idiot, I'm not busy when it comes to you.

"I'll update you later. Bye!", then he ran away.

Argh! That guy, really.
