Our subject teachers came and go, they were discussing about the subject introduction and Angelo was barely listening to them at all but somehow, he still gets everything right. I heard Angelo was studied advanced courses in abroad, I guess he's in the STEM strand because he wants to be a licensed doctor.
He always wanted to be one. Only the Biology class seems to keep him interested enough to actually write notes. I found myself smiling. It was a plan from our childhood. He was going to be a doctor of his very own patients and I was going to be a doctor of computers, I wanted to become a computer engineer.
Our biology professor gives out his lesson plan and gave us an early break.
I ate alone by the bleachers... I knew it, I should've accepted Angelo's proposal to eat together but I know his friends wanted to catch up with him as well. I'm just glad Angelo seem to have a lot of friends.
Suddenly, someone approach
After a while, Kristina finally arrived... finally, I was waiting for her. She came in the room with her slightly messy hair and her fringe showing. She was wearing a jumper skirt with her pastel shirt and mismatched socks that she was trying to hide.She also had her glasses on as she searches the room for me.I was caught off guard when she smiled at me. She was searching the room and she smiled at me like that, she waves her hand frantically.I unconciously waved back at her but the moment I realized it, I took my hand down.She sat down beside me and said, "I made it just in time! I woke up really late. Ah, sorry I'm talking too much-"I cut her off as I fixes her fringe in place, "Your bangs look cute. Goodmorning."She turns red and shifts the conversation topic, "You don't have your uniform yet?"I lied, "Yeah, I haven't got my uniform yet.""Mine too,
Kristina and I walked on our way home, I suddenly remembered the events earlier and I asked, "How are you feeling now? You seemed very scared earlier.""Uh, yeah... I'm okay now, it's just, I'm claustrophobic." she replied, "It's something from a long time ago that haunts me everytime I'm in an enclosed small space.""Is that why you stopped playing hide and seek?"She pauses and her voice sounded a little shaky as she looks at me, "Yeah, I just thought someone would find me no matter where I hide but that one day, I got stucked in the wardrobe and no on found me until the next day."I don't know why but her story seems to affect me to the core, my chest tightens at the thought of it. She feels like she was about to be down for the rest of the day so I opened a bottle of soda and placed it by her cheeks, I stated, "Next time, you can wear your awful cologne and that way I can find you."
I can't believe that he said that? Am I still in bed and this is all just a dream? Ooh please mom, don't you dare wake me up right now! I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming but I wasn't. Then it's true? My long time crush just said he likes me?"Hey... I'm not dreaming, right?" I askedAngelo laughs, "It's pretty obvious, isn't it? I was pretty obvious towards it."Holy crap, I can die happy right now, oh wait don't kill me just yet, let me savor this moment.Before either of us says anything more, the rain started pouring heavily. Angelo grabs my hand as we ran towards some cover.Even as we reached shelter, he was still holding my hand, so I said, "Y...you can let go now."He looks at me a little longer then he lets go. He sneezes so I said, "That's what you get for going back in the rain and getting my lunchbox."Angelo mutter
Kristina Valdez POVMy thoughts drift away to the past, back when we were kids and everything was okay. I saw Angelo running towards me, he playfully grabs my hand and take me by the mountain to see the sunrise.I remembered Angelo's light brown hair with colorful and girly clips that I put on him. I remembered his chubby cheeks that hides his eyes as he smiles so widely. I remember how he would pat my head everytime I fell on my bike or trip by myself. I remember how he would grab my hands with his tiny and soft palms.He says, "Let's stay here forever and ever and ever."I chuckled, "Wouldn't that be boring to stay in one place even if it's your favorite place.""But this isn't my favorite place." He continued as he smiled brightly, "You are."We climbed the trees together that day even though I knew how much he feared h
Angelo Cruz POVI was catching my breath as I arrived at the karaoke bar near our school, I immediately went to the counter and asked, "Have you seen a girl here somewhere with brunette long hair, ah with fringe wearing a gray uniform, around this height? What else... ah, she seems shy and she has round deep brown eyes."The counter snaps his finger, "Ah the cute girl?"I blushed as I look away, "Ye-yeah...is she here?""Yes but she left just a few minutes ago with some guy... man, her head was bleeding pretty badly, I guess, he took her to the hospital."I felt a shiver down my spine, I was so worried, "What? Is she fine? What happened?"But the counter was clueless. I was about to leave and check which hospital Kristina was sent to when I heard the guys behind me snickering, "Damn it, we always had her too. That damn annoying guy just had t
"Wait, there must be some kind of mistake, K is a girl." I protested but I know his phone suggests the opposite, he is definitely 'K'.Kevin said, "Hey when did I ever said I was a girl? You know you should really stop jumping to your silly conclusions, okay?""But you're profile pictur-"He cuts me off, "-is a girl that I like, it's a famous singer.""Oh.. yeah, that makes a lot of sense actually." I continued protesting, "But still, 'K' is so misleading!""You're using the 'K' username as well.""Oh yeah...I do."Kevin laughs cheerfully and says, "Don't tell me you never even visited my profile? not even once? and you continued to talk to me without even knowing me?"I nodded"There is something completely wrong with you. You need-"We said at the same time, "The right amount of nerds!"
Kristina Valdez POVI ate the candy mix Kevin gave me earlier and as I shifts my gaze outside our room, I saw Angelo. His eye met mine for a while and I instinctively waved and smile at him but acts like he didn't notice me.I wonder why he didn't go to class today.Ah right... it's back to the cold as ice Angelo once again. The hours have passed and as school days pass by, the more assessments we were given. We're already at our first quarter. The teacher announced, "For your quarterly project and exam for your core subjects this time, I am assigning you go to a remote place and study their culture. We will be going to have an educational trip for three days that will be held next week."There were cheers and applauses from our class because they were really looking forward to a trip instead of numerous exam papers. At least this way, we will only be taking the major s
Kristina ValdezI wasn't able to say anything so I changed the topic, "Why isn't Ashley with you?"He blushes, "Ah... she doesn't know.""Why didn't you invite her?"Kevin didn't say anything but he just looked at me and that made me blush... did he intentionally not invite her so we can spend time together... Oh, get it together. Kevin's a friend, god, I'm losing my mind.My mom bought out her dish, she cooked her famous shrimp in garlic and butter. It's my favorite, ah the smell itself is appetizing enought to get me drooling. I grabbed a plate for Kevin and myself.Kevin says to my mom, "Thank you for inviting me to dinner.""It's nothing compared to what you did for Kristina, don't hesitate to tell me if Kristina causes you any trouble, okay?"I protested, "I don't cause troubles!"
