Third person's POV
Maagang pumasok si Charles para tapusin ang remaining revisions niya sa ipapasa niyang essays. He is in the library para naman tahimik dahil kapag sa room siya gumawa madidistract lang siya kapag dumating ang mga kaibigan niya.
He is almost done with revisions kaya naman he texted Sean na hinahanap siya for some reasons. "Hey." He greeted. "Bakit mo ko hinahanap?" Charles asked without looking up on his friend dahil sa nirerevise niya.
"Wala lang, Robin is nowhere to be found. Luke is going to be late and si Harvey naman, nabudol siya ni Harley and friends binilhan niya ng food yung mga bata. Ayoko naman sumama sa girls they kept bugging me to bring Bella sa sports fest." He said.
"Sports fest? When?" He asked. To be honest, he is not paying attention to any announcement ng school activities nila. He is too preoccupied sa mga hahabulin niyang school works. "Matagal pa naman yun but, sir Ricamora remind us about that in advance para prepared." Sean said.
"I see, why you don't want to bring Bella?" Tanong niyang muli, he is now done with the revisions at nagliligpit. "Nahihiya lang ako. Hindi ako magaling sa sports. Karaniwan kasi sub player lang ako." His friend explained.
"Wag mong isipin yun, matagal naman na kayo diba? Tanggap ni Bella kung ano ka for sure." Charles explained. "Mas matagal kaming friends dahil sa pinsan ko. She knows me well naman pero I wanted to look cool for her, first girlfriend ko eh." He replied.
"Sus, just be yourself. Sa pagmamahal, hindi mo kailangan magpaimpress. Ang kailangan mong gawin is make your relationship work." Charles said, they are now walking back to their classroom.
"Wow you sound like you had a relationship before." Sean said. "Nah! Nothing serious more like, they can't take me seriously. I just dated two people pero wala na after nun. You know how it works in US." He said.
"Yeah... dating doesn't mean you're in a relationship." Sean replied. "Exactly, rather than being romantic, it felt like I am hanging out with a friend." Charles explained.
Narating na nila ang klase nila and currently Luke is already there with his head on the table. "Puyat ka ba?" They heard Harvey asked.
"Oo peste yang project sa Science. Ikakamatay ko." He said. "Buhay ka pa naman so di mo kakamatay yan." Soleil said.
"Ang talino mo dun sa statement na yun, friend." Sammy said. "Mga panget kabonding." Luke said. "Teka nasaan na ba si Robin? Siya ang unang unang tao na hindi papalampasin ang opportunity na asarin ako." He asked.
"Your question is as good as ours. Wala pa siya. Akala ko nga magkasabay kayo ngayon." Harvey answered. "Tama, hindi ko rin siya nakita sa terminal kanina." Sammy recalled.
"Baka naman may sakit at hindi papasok?" Soleil said. "What kind of sakit? katamaran?" Sean joked. "Hahaha parang sakit niya yan since elementary." Harvey said.
"Talaga? I heard he is smart." Charles said. "Oo matalino siya, pati mga kuya niya kaso si Robin unmotivated most of the time pareho ng kuya niya, si kuya Ryan. Kapag di sila interested, wala silang pake." Sammy explained.
"Yan nga ang reason kung bakit ayaw ni Chelle sa kanya." Luke said. "Bakit?" Charles asked in confusion. "Nako... mahabang istorya." Harvey said.
