Gambit of Hearts: Chasing Black UNO

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Habol-habol ang hininga na naglalakad ang tatlong magkakaibigan nang makatakas sila mula sa mga estudyanteng dumudumog sa kanila.

The three of them have agreed to enter the school earlier than their usual routine to avoid this scenario. But, who can resist these charming three? No one.
Before they could even arrive, the students were already swarming their usual spot at the school's parking lot.

"Ha— Tangina. Hiningal ako dun ah." wika ni Timothy habang hinihimas ang dibdib nya.

"I'm relieved that Mr. Alforte arrived. If it wasn't for him, we'll be stuck in there." iling na tukoy ni Denvee sa parking lot.

Catching his breath on the side, Matthew looked up and squeezed his eyes shut before inhaling deeply. Hindi ito sumagot sa dalawa nyang kaibigan at kinapa na lamang ang tubig na nasa bag na dala nito.

Pabagsak silang napaupo sa kanya-kanya nilang upuan at napasandal habang pinapakalma ng mga ito ang mga sarili nila.

The three of them is famous, not just in their university, but as well as to the other schools. In the halls of schools and universities, there exists a living work of art-Matthew Salazar, Timothy Vasquez, and Denvee Dawson, well, at least, that's what the people refer them- a living work of art. The men whose beauty transcends ordinary admiration. Their magnetic presence turns heads, and their good looks are the talk of every campus.

A dark haired man with a height of six flat, with broad shoulders and a good physics. He had this stubborn jaw, thick eyebrows that fits perfectly to his chinky gray eyes. His nose stood proud at kahit nakasuot ito ng simpleng polo na kulay itim, bumabakat pa rin mula doon ang proweba ng kanyang magandang katawan. At kahit mas malaki ang porsyento ng pagiging pinoy nito, lumalatay at halatang-halata pa din ang pagiging dugong español nito. His name is Matthew Salazar, 25. A student in East Valley University. The captain of the Navy Bulls Football Team as well. Simula elementarya, hanggang ngayon, siya ay isang honor student.

Yes, he is already 25. Nadelay ang pag-aaral nito ng ilang taon kaya naman mas matanda sya sa mga kaklase nya ngayon. But he was homeschooled because it's what his family commanded, saying it will be best for him. Ipinanganak si Matthew sa España at makalipas ang isang taon, lumipat sila sa pilipinas para dito tuluyang manirahan.

Nakapag-aral lamang ito sa East Valley dahil iyon ang hiniling nya sa mga magulang. Gusto nyang maranasan ang pag-aaral sa labas. That he was old enough to handle his own self.

Ganon na din ang mga kaibigan nito. Timothy Vasquez, his cousin, who is already 24 and his friend, Denvee Dawson, who's 24 as well. Both men hold the same reason as Matthew. Denvee was born in California while Timothy in Spain, just like him. Pero hindi kagaya ni Matthew, namuhay ng walong taon ang pinsan nya sa España.

The Flawless Three, they say.

They're not asshole pricks. Both men and women adores them, not just simply because of their looks, but also because of their pleasing personality.

No bad records, a good moral background, walang bisyo, gwapo, matitipuno ang mga katawan, matalino, sino ang hindi magkakagusto sa kanila?

Napaayos sila ng upo nang marinig nilang magring ang bell, tanda na magsisimula na ang klase. Kaagad nilang inayos ang mga sarili nila at pagkalipas ng ilang minuto, ay may pumasok na guro sa silid nila.

"Good morning students. Wow, you're all looking fresh today! Excited on your first day?" masayang bati ng guro sa kanila. "My name is Rose Albiare, you can call me Mrs. Albiare, and I will be your adviser for this school year. At, ako din ang magiging guro nyo sa English." nakangiting pakilala nito at tumango naman ang mga estudyante sa kanya bilang tugon.
