Chapter 2

I watched his back as he is making his exit. I want to roll my eyes on him. What the heck is wrong with him? Isn't that his name?

"Hi, Lianna..." I turned around to looked who called me. He is a tall guy and I think he is friends with Gabe because they were together earlier.

"I'm Alex." he smiled. I raised my brows more.

"Pasensiya ka na sa naging asta ng kaibigan namin." he scratches his head. "He doesn't want to be called Gabe so don't call him that again."

"Oh, I see. My bad, then." I nodded.

Don't worry I don't want to have interaction with him again. He is masungit and I don't like that attitude! How would I know if he likes to be called or not with that name?! I don't know him, and I am new in this school! My gosh! I hate all people here.

I went back to my seat with irritated face. I frowned and crossed my arms.

"Ayos ka lang?" Kate asked.

I took a deep breathe and shook my head. I bit my lower lip.

"Just call him Khiel, Lianna."

Okay, Khiel... ugh! I don't want to talk to him again!

That day, I tried my best to avoid him, thanks to our a not-so-tight schedule, Kate and I stayed at library. But the very next week is the start of regular classes.

We have seat plan and guess what? My seatmate is Khiel! What a fate, ugh. He is quiet and it also feels like he doesn't want to talk to me. He is snob so what can you expect.

My very first month was pretty okay. I mean, nothing extra special happened. What can I expect? I have Kate as my only friend in this school. Not bad, as long as I have friend.

PE and we are here at the gym. We will do some basic exercises before doing some hardcore. I hate PE from the very start. I have a not-so-great stamina, I easily get tired. P'wede bang magpa-excuse na lang?

I put my inhaler in my jogging pant's pocket, well, just in case. While we're jogging, I saw that some of our classmates are very athletics. They've already done a few rounds but here I am, struggling for my 2nd round!

I hold my knees, looking for support as my breathing becomes heavy. Inhale... Exhale... come on!

"You okay?" Kate asked me. She stopped. She's sweating too but unlike me, she's still okay while I am not already. I looked like a mess.

I shook my head.

"M-may asthma ka?"

My brows furrowed and took a deep breathe again. I nodded.
