He then grabbed the mic.“I found a love for meDarling just dive right inAnd follow my leadWell I found a girl beautiful and sweetI never knew you were the someone waiting for me”His voice was soft and husky. It wasn't too bad and out of tune, nor was it too good, but it was perfect. The way he said the words, just left me speechless, like he meant every word to....me. Sakin lang…“Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my armsBarefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite songWhen you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breathBut you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight”I felt goosebumps when he said the last line. His green eyes pierced through me, just staring at me."Snow, why don't you join your husband-I mean your boyfriend?" This time, it was Hannah's turn to wiggle her eyebrows at me."Yeah, Snow, right Eion?" Emma agreed, turning to look at the boy from across the table, Eion. He just stared blankly in reply before looking at Luke in fr
Somehow, my menstrual cramps subsided a little nang lumipas ang Lunes ng parang bula. When Tuesday rolled by, everything was a bit odd lately. I could feel it like something happened when I wasn't there because when I went to my first period, Emma's nose was still stuck in her notebook and reading again! Well, it's not bad to read but it's just strange for someone like Emma."I'm concentrating." Her only reply when Tanont ko her what happened. I thought her quiz was only yesterday, she has one this day too? I kind of felt bad but I chose to just listen to the discussion.Then in my second period, parang may mali kay Hannah. Gusto kong tanungin anong nangyari sa kanya kahapon at lunch but I held back, noticing the gloom in her eyes. This was odd since the usual Hannah is all smiles and laughs, but this is different."Hey, Hannah, can I borrow a pen?" Tanong ko, even though I have one already, but just to start a conversation. Her eyes that were glued to the board turned to me and nodd
It looks like I left them in shock as their mouths are wide open and their jaw-dropping to the ground, iniwan ko lang sila at pumunta na sa canteen. Woo, that was quick. Like they said, Time is gold. So lunchtime is gold. And the minutes I had entertained those girls were wasted, psh, what a waste.Sa gilid ko, Hannah was smiling. Smiling. It was not a trick of the light or sorcery. With that, my confusion just got more terrible. I thought she was mourning like someone just died?"Snow? Bat moko tinitingnan ng ganyan?" Hannah asked, breaking me with my thoughts with her smile didn't waver.My mouth just dropped. Seeing my expression, tumawa sya."Huh? I thought someone just died, you were merely speaking just yesterday!" I exclaimed in shock."Who? me? C'mon, snow, you're getting delusional, let's just eat." I just sighed. So much for playing detective and figuring things out on my own. "NEVER!" A voice glowered from beside us. We turn to see Emma sitting and huffing, her face red a
Dumating ang miyerkules and it’s time for me and Eion to present in front of the class. Para sakin, I had been sweating profusely. It's not that I am a coward. But bad things happen to me every time it's my turn to present something in front of them.I'll always end up embarrassing myself...And believe me, quite a few got so used to it that they consider it as a routine for me. Which is not good!And may I remind you that I. AM. WITH. EION!Was the offer I made last month even valid? Eion hasn't mentioned it, and I always forgot to bring it up. Well, screw that. Mrs. Johnson didn't waste a minute that as soon as she came into the room, bigla na syang tumawag ng mga magrereport. Time sure flies by so fast that the next thing I know, it's our turn already. I almost froze in panic. Keyword: Almost.But one thing caught me today...Eion. Something seemed off to his mood rather than usual. I mean, he is usually quiet but today, he didn't glare at me even when he got all the chances he got
Napahinto ako. "What?""Just be quiet." He hissed. "It happened before."Naglalakad na sya palapit sa akin and I take a back step, quite nervous. "Uhm...i don't know if it's one of your apology but I think-"In a swift motion, he wrapped a cloth around my waist and threw me on his shoulders. Anong ginagawa nya?’"What are you planning to—put me down!" sigaw ko, there were a few students in the halls who saw us. Seeing Eion's face, they scrambled aside to allow them to pass, probably thinking it's just a couple's fight."Don't let him kidnap me! You and you! Help!" sigaw ko again."Shut up!""Ibaba mo ako!""You want me to drop you? Then fine," he loosened his hold that made me slide down a little to the ground. My eyes widened, "Ow! Okay, don't drop me!He grunted, then returned his hold to me. "Where are you taking me?" Tinanong ko, forcing myself to calm down. "To the school clinic."I looked up at him in confusion, my eyebrows furrowing. "Why? Is it because of earlier? I promise
"Thank me after we got an A, stupid." Was Eion's reply the first thing in the morning nang magkaroon ako ng chance na mapasalamatan sya. He was sitting at his usual seat and I switched seats with the person beside him earlier to talk to Eion since the teacher is still not there.Suminghap ako. What's really with him? From the start, it was always like this. Him being rude, Him doing something good, then me thanking him, then him acting back to rude again. On and off.He flashed me a glare before looking at his math notes. He cleared his throat, tinitingnan ako. "We'll have a long test in maths after the two-week break." He informed me.Maths? Oh, I missed that subject yesterday since I got home soon."Okay." Tumango ako,, "Thanks for the information. I can just go and borrow notes from Hannah at the break.""Hannah's going to a family gathering." Sagot nya."Really? She didn't mention that to me.""Then to Emma...but I can't borrow it from here cause we're not in the same class...dif
With that incident in my mind, umuwi na ako. "Nathan I'm home!" sigaw ko as soon as I got to our house. I waited for a minute...baka tulog pa. I'll just open the door myself then. Rummaging through my bag, I looked for the key. I'm sure I just put it here this morning..."Where's my math notes?"I jumped in shock and looked at the source."Oh." I sighed in relief, seeing it's not a robber or something. "Eion, so good to see you here." I greeted sarcastically. I turned my eyes to look around, then stared at him in confusion, "Bat andito ka?” He leaned to a wall, crossing his arms in front of him, "I want it back."Tingnan ko lang sya, waiting for him to continue. Realizing he has nothing more to say, I motioned for him to continue, "The what? What are you referring to?" I sighed. Eion, minsan, please, just please, elaborate clearly, it's not like you have to explain for five sentences. I just need a good answer, that's all."My notes." He replied.Nagtama ang aking kilay, my eyes na
Nang sumunod ang araw, nakagising na ako ng alas dos ng hapon, just like I did when I didn't have work or school. And now that we have this break, I'm not gonna waste time and let this chance slip, I'm still a lazy teenager after all.We were watching cartoons as usual in the living room, nasa tabi ang kapatid ko. Mom was preparing herself for work, saying that she had a night shift starting today and for the following days. Looking at the clock, she said in a hurry, "I should get going now.” "Be a good boy, Nathan. And take good care of him, Snow." Hinalikan nya kami sa pisngi. Nathan and Tumango ako our heads simultaneously like an obedient dog.My eyes trailed in space and once mom pulled from the garage, she sped off the road and vanished insight. Turning around, my lips turned upward, beaming at my little brother."So, what would you like to do, Nate-nate?"Tinanong ko. I'm up for a little mischief today since I was woken up early in the morning. Hindi na rin ako makabalik sa tu
