A Dream

Chapter 1

"Luna!"

Sigaw agad ni Chloe ang narinig ko pagpasok sa room.

"Kumalma ka nga, Chloe," Angela said while laughing.

I rolled my eyes, ignoring the two of them. I sat beside Mika and gave her a smile. Chloe and Angela sat on their chair behind ours.

"What do you want, Chloe?" I said while reading my notes.

"The whole school is talking about a new student and based on what I've heard it's a boy!" she said, giggling. Ano pa bang bago? Lahat naman pinag uusapan ng school.

"Let me guess, the new student is hot," I said, smiling. 'Yan lang naman lagi yung rason kung bakit grabe 'tong energy ni Chloe. "You got it right," Angela said while winking at me. I bit my lower lip to stifle a laugh.

"That's the only reason why the whole school talks about a new student everytime," Mika said. Tama siya, students will talk about you if you have a great body, face, and family background.

"Pero teh, iba 'to. Galing daw sa LA," Chloe said. I suddenly got curious. Memories of my childhood bestfriend flashed in my mind. Damn, I really miss him.

"Anong class siya?" I curiously asked.

"Sa kabilang room lang siya! One step away kung bet mo HAHAHA!" Mika said, which made us laugh.

Pumasok na 'yung teacher kaya umayos na kami ng upo. As usual boring kaya natulog nalang ako.

Lalabas na sana kami ng room dahil lunch time na pero napahinto kami at nagulat sa dami ng babaeng nagsisiksikan sa labas ng kabilang room. 'Di tuloy kami makadaan, si Chloe nakipagsiksikan din.

"Pinagkakaguluhan ata nila yung bagong student" sabi ni Angela sa tabi ko. Sino ba 'yung new student na 'yan, letche.

"ANO BA 'YAN NAGUGUTOM NA AKO TAPOS ANDAMING HALIPAROT NA NAKAHARANG SA DAAN," sigaw ko, tumabi naman 'yung nasa gitna para may dadaanan kami. Narinig ko pang tumawa ng mahina si Mika at Angela sa tabi ko. Si Chloe naman nandoon pa rin nakikipagsiksikan.

"Chloe! hoy, gaga tara na." Aya ni Angela. Agad namang lumapit si Chloe.

"Shet, ang gwapo nung bagong student bes," umakto pa siyang mahihimatay.

"Mamaya ka na nga magkwento, nagugutom na ako eh," reklamo ni Mika.

Nauna na silang maglakad papuntang cafeteria. Susunod na sana ako nang biglang nahulog 'yung cellphone ko dahil sa lakas ng pagkakabangga.

"WHAT THE HELL!!" sigaw ko habang pinupulot 'yung cellphone ko.

"I'm so sorry, miss"

Napatigil ako. The voice sounds familiar.

"Is your cellphone okay?"

Si Peter ba 'yung new student? I raised my head to check if it's him.

"P-Peter?" nauutal na sabi ko.

"Eirelle? Eirelle! Oh my god Luna Eirelle Cortez! I missed you!" sabi niya sabay yakap sa'kin.

"I missed you too, Jaile." I hugged him too.

Dahil do'n nagulat 'yung mga babae na nakatingin sa'min.

"Is it really you?" I still can't believe it. Peter is back! Does this mean that the Ferrer are also back?

"Of course it's me. Hey, let's have lunch together," pag-aaya niya.

"Sure" sabi ko at nagsimula nang maglakad.

"How's life without me, Eirelle?" Nagulat ako sa tinanong niya kaya "Good! So good" na lamang ang naisagot ko.

"Good, huh," Halatang 'di siya satisfied sa sinagot ko.

"Uh-huh, kumusta naman LA?" Tanong ko.

"LA pa rin," Tsk. Pilosopo.

"Kasama mo bang umuwi si Cruzette? Miss na miss ko na siya," Si Cruzette iyong nakababatang kapatid niya. The last time I saw her, she was 5 years old.

"Oo, she's a teen already. Kumusta sina kuya Jace?" Close si Peter at ang mga kuya ko dati, palagi silang naglalaro ng basketball. Tskk, 'di ako papayag na magsasama silang mga chokoy! Pinagtitripan nila ako palagi.

"Humihinga pa naman si kuya Jace tapos si Donny at Rage babaero pa rin," Napairap nalang ako. Naalala ko na naman 'yung tatlong bwisit na kuya ko. They're really overprotective when it comes to me. Ako kasi 'yung bunso at nag iisang babae sa aming magkakapatid. They're always mad if someone tries to bully me pero sila naman talaga 'yung nantitrip sa'kin lagi.

"Luna! Dito!" Sigaw ni Angela habang kumakaway. Kumaway naman ako pabalik habang lumalapit, nasa likod ko lang si Peter.

"Ba't ka nahuli?" Tinanong agad ako ni Mika.

"Wala, may nakasalubong lang sa daan." Sinagot ko naman 'yun agad.

Nagulat silang lahat nang biglang umupo sa tabi ko si Peter. 'Di pala nila alam 'yung tungkol sa childhood ko. High school na kase kami nagkakilala.

"Si Peter nga pala guys, friend ko." Ramdam ko 'yung titig ng mga tao sa cafeteria, siguro nagtataka sila kung bakit kasama ko 'yung bagong heartthrob.

I unconsciously stared at Peter, he's really handsome. He smiled back when he saw me smiling while staring at him. I felt my heart skipped a beat, nag-panic ako dahil doon, I had feelings for Peter when we were kids, I just didn't have the courage to confess back then. I can't afford to lose our friendship. I regretted not confessing noong nalaman kong aalis na sila, pero I already moved on, my feelings for him disappeared. I only like him as a friend, and I will never fall in love with him again.

"O M G! Ikaw 'yung new student diba?!" Gulat na sabi ni Angela. Napatakip pa siya sa bibig niya. Parang tanga lang.

"Yes." Sagot ni Peter. Sigurado akong naiilang na siya, I laughed at him. Hinawakan ko nalang 'yung kamay niya sa ilalim ng table, grabe naman kasi 'tong mga kasama ko.

"Hi, I'm Chloe! Luna's bestfriend," Chloe said while offering her hand. Pabebe pa eh.

"Nice to meet you Chloe, I'm Peter. Eirelle's one and only bestfriend," Peter said while shaking hands with Chloe, tinigasan niya pa 'yung pagkakasabi ng last sentence.

"Hay nako, 'di mo siya kilala Peter, maraming problema sa mundo 'yang si Luna. She's really weird, baka pagsisihan mong maging bestfriend 'yan" Angela said, laughing.

Nagsitawanan kaming lahat dahil doon.

"She doesn't like it if someone calls her Eirelle," Sabi ni Mika.

Totoo naman talaga. Ayokong tinatawag ako sa second name ko.

Pero nagulat ako sa isinagot ni Peter, it made my heart go wild to the point that it might burst anytime...

"She loves it if I'm the one calling her Eirelle. She can't hate me anyway, we love each other too much."
