As soon as the whole- class was; dismissed. The students then formed into a small group- that is- made up of their close friends. As they gathered into each of their respective groups, they seriously discussed how they would spend their entire afternoon. Some groups suggested that they go to the computer- to play a game, others who didn’t want to spend money suggested that- they spend their time in a friend’s house- that is nearer to the school. While; the majority opted to go to the arcade center to enjoy their time.
Since Angelo had had no backup plans- when something such as canceling of class happened. He decided to; follow most people and opt to go to the arcade center together with Jun. Surprisingly, Mark had also joined with them.
There were a total of; twelve students- who decided to; go to the arcade center- including Angelo, Mark, and Jun. A total of three taxis was called to fit the students that had decided to go to the arcade center.
The destinat
Mark and Jun were eyeing towards the direction of Angelo- who was enjoying his time talking with the girl he had just approached. Jun then began to; squint his eyes; since the girl that- Angelo was talking to was; somewhat familiar to; him. Jun gave a knowing smile when he realized the identity- of the woman- that was chatting with Angelo. As Jun is a person who- can’t keep his discovery to himself, he then shared- his findings with the person beside him. “Looks like the dare we’ve come up is too easy for our class president,” When Jun was sure that Mark was listening to him. He then pointed to the direction of the woman- who was laughing heartily beside Angelo. “See that woman over there? That lady was once the partner of our dear class president during the group date that- had been organized by our seniors a few months ago.” Mark then looks at the woman that Jun was pointing to, his face devoid of any emotions- as if the information given to him by Jun was;
Angelo was not convinced of what Mark had said unto him since he felt that- the man was planning something behind his back. He looked at Mark as if scrutinizing the entirety- of the man in front of him; seeing that Mark’s eyes held no ulterior motive in them, Angelo decided to rest his case. He would just let things take its course since whatever is bound to happen will happen in no time. There’s was no need to stress himself in an event- that still wasn’t happening in real-time. Removing his probing look on Mark, he then decided to follow behind Mark. When Angelo got near to; where Cassandra was playing- with the claw machine. He smiled at her and volunteered to get the stuffed toy- that she wanted. But Cassandra rejected Angelo’s; offer and instead looked at Mark with puppy eyes as if- telling Mark to get the stuffed toy in her stead. Mark looked at Angelo first- with a smirk before smiling at; Cassandra with a gentleman’s smile. Seeing how fast the expression on M
The three of them as; soon as they had arrived- inside of their school premises had; parted ways like- the speed of lightning. They didn’t even have a chance to have a conversation with each other before they left for their respective homes. The moment Angelo arrived at his home, he went directly to his bedroom and immediately climbed into the comforts of his mattress. He slept soundly and securely that night since his slumber was devoid of any dreams. When Angelo woke up, Angelo felt able to; sleep- to his heart’s content- last night. Feeling the freshness of morning in his surroundings, Angelo stretched and popped his joints as he walks- to his bathroom. He was; humming the tune of some unfamiliar song while he brushed his teeth; the event yesterday was shoved in the back of his mind. Angelo was glad he was; able to move on fast from the heartbreak that- Cassandra had to incur to; him. Taking a last look at his face- in the mirror, Angelo smiled before changing int
After the conversation with the homeroom teacher that day, Angelo, like usual, busied himself with the various works that- the teacher had assigned to him. While Angelo was trying to; bury himself from juggling- to prepare for joining a; competition and studying for his lessons. He started to question himself as to; why he was trying too hard in school. “Is it really; necessary- for him to; study hard? For whose recognition will it be; is it for his own or the school?” as he was wallowing in self-pity, Angelo’s phone suddenly vibrated. His negative thoughts immediately vanished, and the curiosity of; who had texted him emerged from his mind. Fetching the phone from his pocket, Angelo glace at the name of the person who- had texted him. To say that- Angelo was not surprised would be a lie- when he had seen the; name of; who had texted him. Angelo ignored the message and just shoved his phone back inside of his pocket. He; then continued in answering his assign
Finally, it was the day- that Angelo had been waiting for; he woke up early and freshened himself. He then applied a moisturizing lotion- on his face to make him extra glowing. Angelo is; patting; both of; his cheeks- to make sure- that the; lotion Angelo had put- on his; face; would be; absorbed by his; skin. He only stopped his; actions when both of his cheeks had become red. Due; to the continued dabbing- of his; skin. Putting the cap back to the lotion bottle, Angelo then proceeded to put on his clothes. The outfit he had selected was a fitted black t-shirt. Partnered with chino jeans- to make him look smart even if; Angelo was wearing casual clothes. For his; footwear Angelo decided to select- from his shoe rack, an ace watersnake trimmed leather shoes- to wear. He then tested the comfortability of the shoes and when he; was sure that the shoes- were cozy enough for him. Angelo then when out of his room and happily greeted his brother- who was busily eating his breakfas
“What?!” Angelo was shocked, speechless- by what Cassandra had answered him, suddenly all he could hear was a buzzing sound. Background noises began to fade, and all he could hear was the unbelievable answer of Cassandra- that was on repeat in his mind. “I said, I agree in dating you,” Angelo slowly focused his gaze on Cassandra, and a broad smile was seen- on his face. He then touched the hand of Cassandra and beamed his exquisite- smile again. “I can’t believe that you would agree with my preposterous idea,” using his free hand Angelo covered his mouth while his eyes dilated as he was; very shocked by Cassandra’s answer. “Then you’re now my girlfriend?” Cassandra immediately nods her head, making Angelo leap in happiness, and hugs Cassandra tightly, “I can’t believe that the girl I like would like me back also; I’m so happy. You don’t know how much joy you’ve brought unto me, Cassandra.” “Wait, let go. You’re choking me, Angelo.” Feeling the light p
Months passed, and days flew by, and Angelo woke up being a senior student already. A lot; of things had changed during the time- it made Angelo grow mature and much more responsible than before. A new semester and a new set of friends allowed Angelo the chance: to mingle with other; people; from in and out of his; school. He was in out-most- enjoying his senior year: with a girlfriend for; about a year and having a bright future ahead of him. Angelo was sure that- there was nothing he could ask for in his life. He was brightly shining that everyone would be envious of him, as he had already had everything secured in front of him. Although Angelo was; dropped from being the top 1 in the whole class as semesters; passed being- able to secure the top 2 is still an admirable feat that not anyone could easily conquer. Angelo was already contented with his ranking since it gave him a lot of opportunities to take a breather- on his studying and have enough time to spend wi
Angelo waited and waited for Cassandra to arrive at the front gate- even though almost all the students of Cassandra’s school had already passed the gate, still there was no sign of his girlfriend going out of the school grounds. He just made an excuse on his mind that maybe Cassandra had some important matters to talk to the teachers, making her unable to leave the school- at the moment. So Angelo waited for Cassandra for another hour, and when the hour had transpired, he took out his phone- from his backpack and called Cassandra. The call had connected, and Angelo immediately asked Cassandra why she was taking a long time to leave her school. “I’m sorry, Angelo, I didn’t tell you that- I have to return home earlier than the class dismissal since I was not feeling well,” Cassandra explained as she; let out a few coughs while talking to Angel. “I’m truly sorry if; I didn’t inform you- about my condition. My mind is not functioning ever since I started not to feel wel
