Im Zahara Leanders.Junior highschool student of Devious Academy.Mahilig akong kumain, ayokong iniistorbo at --

"Zahara!dito ka na umupo.May free space pa!"

Ugh...speaking of istorbo.Here's the super makulit Hale Miklos.

Lumingon ako at nakita ko ang isa sa mga kaklase ko, Hale Miklos.Ang palaging nangungulit na dun ako umupo sa table nila o maging magpartners sa P.E o Kagrupo sa science projects.

"Uhm...thanks but no thanks, I'll wait for Alex"

Medyo lumungkot ang mukha nito.

"Sige, pero kung free ka pwede ka namang sumama samin"

"Uh...yeah, maybe next time"

More like, in the next life.

Lumayo na ako sa gawing yun ng canteen.I'd rather have one friend only.More friends means more problems.Alex has been annoying enough to have another one.Naupo ako sa table na nasa dulo ng canteen.

I started munching through my cheese sandwich when someone grabbed it off.Nang tingnan ko kung sino ay si Alex lang pala, my annoying friend.Her full name? Alexis Maddison.

"Can you give it back?Im freaking hungry"cold na sabi ko.

"Nah, im quite hungry too.Now shut up and let me eat"

See, thats how annoying she is -_-.Totally.

"Tch.Buy your own baon, idiot"sabi ko

Grabbing my half-eaten sandwich back.Nag-roll eyes sya sakin.

"What-ever!So ano na ang plano natin sa crush mo?I-salvage natin?Kidnap?Blackmail? Muahaha-a-ouch!"

Binatokan ko sya.Nag what-the-hell  look sya sakin.

"Tch.Im not that desperate to make him fall for me"

"What-ever!As if naman kaya mo syang KALIMUTAN"in-emphasize nya ang salitang "kalimutan"

I rolled my eyes at her.

"It takes time to forget, i know i can"

"No you can't. Kilala kita Zahara Leanders, ako lang naman ang dakilang bestfriend mo"

"Tch.Correction, ONLY bestfriend.Did you forget that or did you have a short-term memory loss?"

"Haha, no.More like 'selective amnesia' :p " sabi nito sabay belat sakin.

Childish idiot. -___-

"Parang bata.There, i already finished my food.Bakit di ka kumuha ng sayo?"

She groaned.
 
"Too much effort, tinatamad na ako.Im going to freaking wait in line to get some damned food.Matapos kong kainin yung pagkain ko, gugutumin lang din ulit ako.So, why bother?"pangangatwiran nito

Annoying and super tamad as well.

"Speaking of effort, kamusta yung letter na ginawa mo?You know, yung para ka brix genesis"sabay taas ng dalawang kilay nya

I blushed.

"The hell i care about that guy!He is not worthy enough to be the subject of this conversation."

"Says the one who's blushing like hell"

I turned my face away.Gods, bakit ko nga ba sinunod ang payo nya.

"Im not blushing!Sadyang mainit lang talaga"pangangatwiran ko

"Speaking of the devil--A Handsome devil to be exact.Tama ba ako, Zahara?"sabi nito habang nakatingin sa gawing likoran ko sabay smirk.

I turned my face towards 'that' direction.

Oh look, perfect timing. -_-

Black hair. Almost perfect smile.Brains.He's almost perfect.Too perfect, i think.Magaling yan sa math mostly and excels well in all the other subjects.Gods, he is handsome as the devil--that is if i see the devil (though that might be a bit scary)--a bit dangerous.It scares me to go near him.He makes this really weird feeling that i've never experienced before.

"Handsome?Really?Gods, he's not even good looking.You're being blind."

No, he IS handsome.

"Im not, dear.You are."

I groaned.

"Shut up.Punta na nga lang tayong library.I'd rather read books than talk about this nonsense things"sabi ko sabay ayos ng mga libro at gamit ko.

Nag hands up sya as if to say 'i give up'.

"What ever you say, dear.Sabihin mo affected ka lang"

"Nonsense.Lets just go"

Library 📚

I grabbed a copy of "Para sa Hopeless Romantic" na libro and started reading.Sa gilid ng vision ko ay kitang kita ko ang seryosong mukha ni alex.

"Hara, are you still inlove with him?I mean its been years."

Seryosong tanong nito.

"You haven't called me hara til  then."

Hara.My uh...what do you call this, right, a nickname.A certain someone gave me that sort of name although--uhh...nevermind.

"Seryoso.Ano ba ang meron sa kanya at crush mo parin sya?Ilang taon na ba, nine years?"

I put down the book that i was reading.Usually kapag ganitong andito kami sa library ay pagbabasa lang talaga ang ginagawa namin.No talking or conversations heard.

"Well.Ikaw ba...hanggang ngayon crush mo pa din naman si emmanuel diba?whats his surname again?Lyrea?"

Lumukot ang mukha nito.

"Hindi naman yan ang pinag-uusapan natin diba?Just answer me."

🎶🎵Baby shark doo doo doo doo🎵🎶

Gods, saved by the ringtone.Now who's calling this time?

Coraline Calling📞!

"Excuse me, i have to answer this."

Tumango lang ito.Lumabas ako sa library dahil baka pagalitan ako kapag nag-ingay ako dun.

"Hello?Cora?What do you want?"

"Wew.Yan ang pambungad mo sa kaibigan mong galing sa states?wala kang pasalubong sa akin nyan haha"

"Shut up cora, kahit dito sa cellphone naririnig ko ang busina ng sasakyan dyan sa Makati.Feeling!"

"Killjoy ka naman.Haha sige na nga!Pero may pasalubong talaga ako!Someone you'd like"

"W-wait s-so-someone?What do yo--"

Toot toot toot.

Gods, dont tell me its him.

Lumiko ako at naglakad papunta sa direksyon ng library.Alex must be annoyed at how long i was.Mainipin pa naman ang babaeng yun.I bumped into someone at na-out of balance ako.Ito na ba yung part na mahuhulog ako pero may sasalo sakin?

Hinayaan kong mahulog ako dahil inaasahan kong sasaluhin ako.But painful reality slapped me.Bumagsak ako sa sahig at ouch  sa tingin ko nabali yung kamay ko.So much for expecting.

"Hey, miss are you okay?Im freaking sorry. Hindi kita na-notice eh.Uhh hey  miss?"

Everything moved fast.The walls seemed to be closing in on us.The world turned.I blacked out.

Nang gumising ako, i saw a blue colored painting with a girl under the rain.I recognized this must be the clinic.Sinubukan kong igalaw ang kamay ko pero medyo kumikirot pa ito.

"Nagising ka na pala, bata.Kung okay ka na ay pwede ka nang makaalis.May binatang naghihintay sayo sa labas.In-excuse ka na ng kaibigan mo kanina."

Medyo nagulat ako pero yung nurse lang pala na si ate joy ang nagsalita.Aywan ko ba at bata palagi ang tawag nya sa mga pasyente nya.

"Salamat ate joy, mukhang magiging okay na din naman tong kamay ko.Aalis na po ako"

At nagpaalam na ako at ipinihit na ang pinto palabas.

"Okay na ba yang kamay mo?Pasensya ka na kanina ha.Napalakas ata ang pagkabangga ko sayo at nawalan ka ng malay.Nagmamadali kasi ako nun hehe"

Gods, its brix genesis.

"Uhh...its well--its fine I guess.Thanks."

"Huh?Thank for what?Sa pagkabangga ko sayo?"

Gods,  how stupid.

"I mean for...for bringing me here."

Kinamot nito ang kanyang ulo.

"Well, your welcome i guess?Sorry for the incident, again.Well goodbye then i have to go"

"G-goodbye"

Thump...thump...thump...

Great, just great.Now it beats for him again.You ruined my peaceful highschool life again,brix.Thank you so much!

And this is the starting line....
