OUR LITTLE SECRET

CHAPTER TWO: OUR LITTLE SECRET

" Are you really friends, to begin with?"

There are so many things that I'm not ready to go after. I was a Valedictorian from my high school, and ngayon, I'm a sophomore in college who majors in Mathematics for BSEd-Math. I also am a part-time model for extra money. I'm doing well, totally well.

I'm also attending the famous NEO University that's also quite a private school, naka-pasok ako because of my grades and even passed my test.

Everything is going well. I have friends, of course, that I hang out with... sometimes.

I'm fine with it. I am totally fine. But sometimes, I can't help but think about trying something different. Something I haven't tried, ever.

Relationships.

I don't know what came over me pero ang dami 'kong naiisip about sa relasyon or pag-ibig.

I fell in love with Timothy Nakamoto years ago, from the very first time we met.

Our parents were very good friends too and for some reason, they were forcing us to marry each other.

But Timothy doesn't like me. But I still fell for him.

I fell for him while he still dated plenty of girls at my high school.

And finally, nagising na 'rin ako sa katotohanan.

Timothy Nakamoto would never be mine.

Just because I fell for someone, got my heart broken, doesn't mean na hindi 'ko pwedeng subukang makipagrelasyon or find someone good for me.

I've never dated anyone before so I am an NBSB.

I'm already nineteen. I want to find someone. But at the same time, I feel like I should be focusing on my studies and on graduating.

Natatakot 'rin ako, what if masaktan nanaman ako?

What if I can't feel the same feeling that I've felt from Timothy from my lover?

Hurting someone is not something I would want to experience.

"Charlotte, sasama ka 'ba sa'min?" tanong ni Chandria sa'kin.

She's a friend of mine na nakilala 'ko last year, junior college student siya and she's majoring in photography, 'yun lang alam ko. 

We hung out all the time kapag wala ka'ming magawa, it's only the two of us.

It's just like how me and Maryse met, she's like my Maryse but a bit bolder and enthusiastic.

"Sa'min? May sasama sa'tin?" tanong ko naman sa kanya.

Ngumiti na lang siya.

Chandria Kim Jules. She's pretty, really pretty. Her smile is enough to make anyone fall for her. Her vibe screams angelic, masyado 'rin siyang mabait.

She's also energetic and when it comes to taking pictures, views, photo books, anything about photos, talagang siya ang taong kakausapin.

"My best friend, and this friend, you know... Silas Nakamoto," she smirks sabay kindat sa'kin.

I roll my eyes from her mention of Silas. I know who her best friend is, it's Jaxon. That one guy na lagi niyang kasama, he seems nice, but Silas?
