More than a decade ago, back in highschool, I wrote a number of stories dedicated to my classmates and friends. They were too many to remember that when someone tells me about them, I would just frown and wonder. Those stories were written on a my old notebooks, sewed and tied together, hand-written with all the erasures and scratched out lines. They went to one student to the whole section to all year levels, I felt like a star. XD

A few weeks ago, my sister and her bestfriend visited me in my house and they've learned that I started writing again after more than a decade of strolling around in life. They got so hyped and told me about one of my stories that they really loved. I didn't remember anything about that particular story until they told me who the characters were, what the story was all about, how it ended etc. They actually remember every bits and pieces of it and I was amazed! My sister's bestfriend was teary-eyed as she told me how she used to read that story over and over, and how it made her cry and laugh and then cry again.

That story was entitled RIOT. A story of the Kordova sisters who fell in love with their neighbor's sons, the Craig brothers. Both brothers have enlisted to the US Marine Corp and were bound to depart for years of training. And so, that's where all the conflicts happened.
I decided to re-write this story in two parts and dedicate them to two of my pioneer readers who I didn't know are still my lowkey fans (haha).

To my sister Diana, and her bestfriend Dyann (@aya_innocentdevil02). This story (and its sequel) is for you.

Love lots,
Tala Xx
