The Pretender

Chapter 1

Hi my name is Aveline I'm quite type of person, I don't usually talk especially if we are not close sorry but just ignore me if you don't want to be in an awkward situation. i have friends a lot of them I guess but I just call them 'friends' but not totally that close it feels like the word 'friends' is just a common word for me that I don't think It has a special meaning.

If I call you one of my friends or special friends don't take it seriously because there is no special meaning about that word because for me there's no such thing as a special friends because I actually treat them equally its just I added the word 'special'. Special friends or friends is just the same, for me nothing change only the word though. Except to those people I call true friends because they are the true special to me.

So lets go back to the story....

i was walking at the hallway right now and there are too many students in the hallway and they are looking at my way. maybe because I was with the four pretty girls in school. Yes, you heard it right four pretty girls I don't know how I ended up being with them it is a bit strange because a girl like me who doen't talk that much is with this four pretty girls. I don't have to explain it because its a long story.

"they're so pretty"

"yeah they are like angels"

"four angels"

I'm just an invisible person here but its fine as long as no one can notice me being with this girls.

"Aveline are you okay?" I just walk silently that I didn't even care about my surroundings I'm bored right now

"Aveline??"

"Lutang siguro"

"baka may iniisip"

"Aveline!!!" napatigil ako bigla dahil sa gulat at napalingon sa mga kasama ko

'What?' look

"kanina ka pa namin tinatawag"

"ang lalim siguro ng iniisip mo"

"is there something that bothers you?" I just look at them

"would you mind telling us what's bothering you?" I just let a long sigh at tinalikuran ko sila at nagsimula nang maglakad

"I'm just tired thats all" I answered at pagdating namin sa room ay agad na akong pumasok at umupo sa upuan ko I want to rest nakakapagod kaya maglakad.

"Good Morning Aveline" Bati saakin ng seatmate ko I think her name is Gina I just nod at her also sa tingin ko walang maganda ngayon sa morning masyadong stress ngayon week kaya di ko masasabi na maganda ang araw ngayon at sa mga susunod na araw. I have to study because I think there are many upcoming task this days so I have to be prepared thats the reason why I feel tired right now just thinking about it makes me feel tired. Tungkol naman doon sa apat na kasama ko kanina ako lang ang nakaseparate sa kanila ng upuan lahat sila magkakatabi ng upuan but It doesn't matter.

Knock* knock*

Napalingon kami doon sa kumatok and we saw our teacher and she is with some new student?

"Good morning class, we have a new transfer student" sabi ni maam nagbulungan naman yung mga kaklase namin

"you may now introduce yourself or you can just say your name"

"Hi my name is Ailey nice meeting you all" pagpapakilala nya or should I say a short introduction a very short one

"okay thank you ms.ailey pwede ka nang umupo" sabi ni ma'am at nagsimula nang magdiscuss a new lesson.

i might be a quite type of person but sometimes I am a sociable person let say I am a person who have a characteristic of both extrovert and introvert in short 'ambivert' well thats who I am.

At dahil sa lalim ng iniisip ko ay bigla akong nakaramdam ng gutom kaya napaisip na naman ako Hmm.. after this subject ay may short break kami so ano kaya ang magandang bilhin sa canteen.

After a few minutes... natapos narin si ma'am.

"okay thats all for today be prepared for tomorrows quiz, class dismiss" tamang tama narin dahil tumunog ang bell

*Bell rings...

Nagsilabasan agad ang mga kaklase namin habang yung iba nakasimangot kasi may quiz bukas at habang ako naman ay nakatingin lang sa labas ng bintana.

"napakatahimik mo talaga aveline kahit minsan lang magsalita ka" reklamo ni gina nagsasawa na siguro sya

"ganun ba sorry di lang talaga ako nagsasalita pag may teacher"sabi ko at tumayo napalingon ako doon sa new student napakatahimik nya mukhang wala syang close sa room. Tsk. syempre bago lang sya. Baliw na siguro ako nakikipagaway pa ako sa utak ko. Should I approach her? Well wala naman mawawala diba kung kakausapin ko sya.

Paglapit ko sa kanya napatingin ito sa akin I just smiled at her

"gusto mo bang sumama saakin sa canteen?" I asked

"uhm. Okay lang ba?" tanong nya I asked her a question and she asked me back nice right ^_^

"oo naman" sabi ko napangiti naman sya at sumama saakin papunta sa canteen

Heira pov.

"look si aveline, may kasama sya" sabi ni mia at may itinuro syang dalawang babae na naglalakad papuntang canteen

"If I'm not mistaken she's the new transfer student, Ailey siguro pangalan nya"

"paiba iba talaga nang kasama si aveline pero minsan nakakasama natin sya"

"oo nga she doesn't stay to anyone"

"tama ka bakit kaya?"

"just let her be" yun na lang ang nasabi ko hindi ko rin naman alam kung bakit paiba iba sya ng kasama baka ganon lang talaga sya or maybe she has her own reason.

Aveline pov.

Napakatahimik talaga this is what I prefered than being with the people na hindi ako kumportable na kasama. Oh by the way about the four girls na kasama ko this morning nakilala ko sila because I'm a sociable and friendly person thats all.

"Aveline pwedeng makisabay sa inyo?" napalingon ako doon sa nagsalita and here they are. I just nod at them

"ahh also gusto rin namin makilala ang new transfer student since nandito naman sya let us introduce ourself" sabi ni mia

"Hi my name is Ailey nice meeting you" pagpapakilala ni ailey ngumiti naman ang apat at nakipagshake hands sila

"I'm Mia"

"I'm Heira"

"I'm rika and this is curtney" I just eat my food while listening to them talk

"uhm mga friends mo ba sila aveline?" ailey asked napalingon naman saakin yung apat waiting for my answer

"ha- ahh yes they are"sabi ko at ngumiti

"really parang di ka syur sa sagot mo"sabi ni ailey

"are you doubting me?" I asked

"hindi naman" sabi nya bumalik na naman ang katahimikan pero di nagtagal binasag ni courtney

"Lets talk about something napakatahimik naman kasi dito"reklamo nya nagkatinginan naman sila

"Its better this way" I said in my mind

"Ganun ba wala akong maisip na topic"sabi ni ailey I can see in my peripheral vision na nabobored na yung apat

"pwede naman kayo magusap usap na kayo lang" sabi ko ulit sa utak ko

Suddenly sabay sabay silang tumayo except sa amin dalawa ni ailey they can't stand the silent atmosphere. I let a short *sigh,

"mukhang nabored sila" malungkot na sabi ni ailey yeah na-bored talaga sila but thats not all, they are not just bored but I guess you already know what will happen next dahil hindi pa dito nagtatapos ang lahat.

this is not just the end because...

This is just the beginning of my story.
