Aidan's PoV
"Because?" tanong ko. "Because I don't need a king in my life. Duhhh!" she simply said. "Oh, really now?" I asked re-assuringly. "Yea- WAIT A MINUTE! DON'T TELL ME-" di na nya natuloy yung sinasabi niya nung pumasok na yung ibang students sa classroom.
"Tell you what?" acting curious pala tayo ngayon self aish! "N-nothing..... punta ka nalang sa seat mo." She said while bringing out her notebook and her ballpens. I'm offended, I am her seatmate! Do I have to remind every single day?! This always happen! "Ouch that hurts.... you literally forgot that I'm your seatmate! Why does this even happen every day?! Aish!" I said irritated.
She whipped her head to me with the shocked expression on her face. "OMG! I TOTALLY FORGOT! HALA SORRY! I WAS JUST STRESSED THESE PAST DAYS AND......." her voice trailed off as I stared at her. Fck she's a definition of perfect.
Her life must've been hard for her to have no one by her side since she was little, pero she lived with her relatives in Tuguegarao City 'till she became high school here, in Muntinlupa. She might not have money for school but she got a scholarship here in San Beda Alabang. That's why she's called the school's 'Heartthrob Nerd'. Honestly she isn't a nerd, in my eyes, but a princess to be exact.
Just as she was waving her hand at me, I got out of day dreaming. "Y-yes?" awts na-utal ako. "Were you day dreaming?" she asked. "W-what? Hell no!" I said defensingly. "Yea you weren't," she said sarcastingly and rolled her eyes, "You were staring into my eyes for almost 10 minutes!" she said while pointing at her face. Okay now I really gotta admit that she's right, I was staring into her eyes, pero di ko alam na it was less than 10 minutes, though it feels like 10 seconds only.
"10 minutes?! OMG sorry! Your eyes are so beautiful that I got lost in it." I regret saying that. "Hey! Aidan! Wake up! You have a girlfriend! Stop flirting with me, because I'm not interested!" she lowly said. "Well, okay." I said mumbling and faced in front.
Vida's PoV
Aish! Vida! Concentrate! "Vida" rinig ko sa teacher namin. "Yes, ma'am?" wow ah, confident sis? Okay edi nice one na! "You will be partnered with Aidan for the project, okay?" WHAT?! Hindi to pwede. Please no! Di ako makakapag-concentrate! Hayst, "Ma'am c-can't it be someone else?" okay..... NA-UTAL KA NANAMAN AISH! "I'm sorry Vida.... I have made my decision." Okay.... The world sucks!
I just nodded at nag-sulat nalang sa notebook ko ng kung ano-ano. "Looks like we're partners, Vida." Ah, sht! I just hummed at his words. "Cold mo ngayon. Need a jacket?" Sheesh attention seeker din minsan eh. "Save it for Vyo." I said coldly. "Okay, fine." Asking why he's acting like this? Well he's actually my BBF short for Boy Best Friend.
"Caring much?" I said loud enough para marinig nya and rolled my eyes. "Duh! We've been bestfriends for so long!" he said rolling his eyes too. "Fine! You win! But I'm still not taking that sweater!"
"Eh. Suit yourself." he stated as I started walking to my locker to get my book. Maglalakad na sana ako nang may naramdaman akong sumabit sa mga balikat ko. Tumingin ako sa likod ko and I saw Aidan grinning. "I told you-" Di ko natuloy yung nasabi ko nung nag-approach yung 'girlfriend' ni Aidan.
They're really dating because somehow, Vyo is the daughter of the Principal, and Aidan got threatened that he's gonna get kicked out of the school. So I guess he had no choice. But I know that he doesn't love her, pfft!
"Hey, babe!" Vyo said then after pecked his lips. I showed the disgusted face to him, then chuckled. "Hey." he said in a bored tone. "I'm cold! Do you have you sweater with you?" I just rolled my eyes at her. Bitxh it's with me!
I then started walking away with the sweater with me and also sinuot ko nalang din ng maayos yung sweater niya. "Ate Vida!" I heard someone call me. Familiar yung boses niya pero di ko malaman kung sino. So tumalikod ako at nakita ko si, "Snowyyyyy!" Si Snow, bunsong kapatid ko. "Bakit ka nandito?" tanong ko. "Eh ate, kailangan ni tita ng pera, kaso....." she trailed off.
Alam ko na, "Magpapadala ako sa inyo, okay? Basta sila tita, alam mo na, okay?" she looked at me with sad eyes. "Is there something wrong, baby?" I still call her baby kahit 6 years old na siya. "Eh ate, yung problema....." she starts tearing up. "Baby, continue please. Andito naman si ate oh." pag-mamaka-awa ko. "Wala na kaming scholarship ni kuya..." baket? Just why would that happen?
"Tinanggal na kami." Baket sila tatanggalin ng school? Eh, ang bait nila, tapos magaling sila. Laging perfect! "Baket? Just why would they remove you two sa school? You both are scholars! They can't do that to scholars!" her eyes were wondering everywhere. "Who or what are you looking for, baby?" she then looked at me. "Where's kuya?" Who? "Sinong kuya?"
"Si kuya Aidan. Diba you said, you study in the same school?" Did this child just look for Aidan? "Snow! I'm here, oh!" tumalikod si Snow at tumakbo papunta kay Aidan. I swear this child, looks for Aidan after going to me! Palagi! So ano? Sila na mag-kapatid? Okay, edi fine!
"Dyan ka na sa kuya mo!" Tss.... "Sabi ko kasi sayo, wag ka'ng masyadong hard sa mga kapatid mo. Tamo oh, ako ang hanap pag-katapos sayo." I just rolled my eyes at him. "Diba sayo gusto? Edi okay, palit tayo ng kapatid. Deal or No deal? Kahit I-no deal mo yan, sa'yo pa rin pupunta tong maliit na 'to! Whether you like it or not."
Napatingin ako kay Snow, she has this scared face nang tumingin ako sa kanya. "No deal. Kase sa huli ikaw pa rin hahanapin niyan. Alam mo kung baket?" Alam mo tong lalakeng 'to, abno! "Fine, baket?" I said boredly. "Kase ikaw kasama nyan, simula pa nung napanganak na siya." I mean he has a point pero it' s still an invalid reason for me.
"Fine, whatever! Kase pag ako kasama niyan, ikaw lagi ang topic. Siya ang nag-tatanong kung okay ka lang ba, kamusta ka na, and all the questions I, myself, has been thinking of, too! Ikaw ang hinahanap nilang dalawa. So, I guess that's what you call, ako ang hinahanap." tears started to fall down.
"Hey, look I'm sorry.... 'di ko naman alam yun, kase ikaw yung panganay." he said while calming me down before I burst into tears, again. "You're saying that because you don't know how it feels! I've been there for them while they're just asking how are you! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS, AIDAN! I hope ikaw nalang naging kapatid nila para you know how it feels!" more tears were falling down.
"Me?! Don't know how it feels?! Well, hell yeah I don't know." he said sarcastingly. "How could I not know how it feels, when my brother is doing the same! You were always the topic! You were the topic after I come home! He always asks if you're okay! He always asks if you're doing your best in acads! You were always the topic when we talk! So stop thinking like I don't know how it feels!" he defended.
"Okay fine! Then I'm sorry! Okay?!" I said apologising. "You can start ignoring me, from here. Here's your sweater." I said as I started removing it from my body and throw it at him. "Then I'm sorry too. Keep my sweater. Ayaw ko'ng mapagalitan ng mommy mo, when I visit them."
