All Chapters of My High School Romance: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

A FEW YEARS AGO… My heart was pounding loud while standing near the school entrance of Manggahan High School – a public school that I was attending that has around four thousand students. My school wasn’t that big so it only has one entrance gate which made it easier for me to look for my target. I was checking every boy entering the gate while holding the letter in my hand tightly. It was the first day of my senior year and I have gathered my courage to confess my feelings to the person who snatched my heart the first time I ever set my foot in this school. After hiding this admiration for him for three years, I finally convinced myself to tell him how much I like him. But having a crush with the most handsome guy at school was challenging for me. When we were still freshmen, the seniors would visit his classroom which irritated the teachers and other students. Well, it was understandable. Once you laid your eyes on his alluring brown chocolate eyes, you will be mesmerized by it.

Rebecca’s POV (GUIDANCE OFFICE) LENI WAS SITTING BEHIND her desk while looking at me with astonishment. She clasped her hands and leaned backwards on her swivel chair. The silence was deafening and I was praying that she wouldn’t suspend me for what I did. Mirajane was already sent back to our classroom and being with our Guidance counselor, one on one, was making me nervous. "For the past few years that you've been studying here, this is the first time you caught my attention for unsightly action, Rebecca. No. Scratch that… you caught everyone's attention by declaring such a vulgar statement." I looked away as anxiety started crawling back into my senses again. The scene where I shouted his name and left a strong note kept playing in my head. "I never imagined that you would do something reckless like that. You're a genius. Star of the class but hid behind the shadows so I didn't know you were capable of shouting your heart out for the boy who doesn't seem to care about the world

THE GIRL SITTING BESIDE me who was also wearing eyeglasses stood up. "My name is Ginny and I, for one, hate bullies." She glanced at me that made me clutched on my skirt tighter. "Sorry if we made fun of you. It was just mind blowing how you confessed to him earlier. Not everyone has that kind of courage so to be honest, I admire what you did." My lips parted in awe. Maybe… they're not that bad after all. "I like studying, but last year my grades fluctuated because…" She took a deep breath. "... Because I was bullied by my classmates. Ms. Leni is already aware of that so I wouldn't talk much about it. So please, I highly suggest everyone to refrain from bullying other students. You have no idea what it can do to someone." I saw other students nodding, especially girls. "And to answer the last question, I would like to take BS in Biochemistry when I reach college. That's why I plan to do my best and ace high school." She smiled and slightly bowed as curtsy. "I hope we all can get

"LOVE? HE'S YOUR BOYFRIEND?" Ginny asked in a whisper. She was also looking at me baffled. "N-No!" I strongly denied but in a feeble voice. "It's been a long time since the last time I saw you. You've become even prettier than before, Love." He sincerely said and gave me a sweet smile. "I missed you." My classmates who were trying to control themselves let out a teasing rumpus. I turned my head and they were all looking at me with a silly smile on their faces. Oh damn! My eyes glimpsed at Ibarra who was just minding his own business. He doesn't seem to care but the people around us will definitely judge me because of what's happening. I felt my cheeks flushed. "Enough with this sweet talk. Introduce yourself." Ms. Leni interrupted and I took the chance to silently sit down on my chair. He beamed as he studied the faces of the people inside the classroom. "Hi! My name is Judiel. I'm the son of Mayor Fernandez reigning in the municipality of Cainta. I ended up here since I final

PRESENT TIMES "OH MY GOSH! DON'T tell me you're the chosen one?" Maribella shockingly uttered. I gave her a half smile and nodded. "My crazy classmates didn't vote for other candidates which led me to win the position." "And you're cool with that?" "What else can I do? Besides, I was thinking of it as an opening to get close to Ibarra." "You have a point. But… how did the other girls react to it?" "Oh please…" I exasperatedly sighed. "It's too embarrassing to tell. Not to mention, annoying. Well, we were all young at that time, so I think that was given." "CUT!" The director suddenly shouted and walked towards us. "We have to end the show. It's already way beyond our time." "Really?" Maribella checked her wristwatch. "Damn! Time really flies when you're having fun." She looked at me and apologetically smiled. "I desperately wanted to know what happened but it's the director's order. We have to cut it short." I bobbed my head. "Of course." "I'd like to ask you more. I wanted
