That Feeling [COMPLETED]

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

“Creatively introduce yourselves. It can be funny, serious, or any. It depends on you, class. So, let's start in the first row,” our first subject teacher started.

Kahit na lagi itong nangyayari bago magsimula ang klase, hindi ko pa rin mapigilang kabahan.

Nilingon ko si Atticus at nakatingin na pala siya sa'kin. Nginitian niya ako, para bang sinasabi niya na 'wag akong kabahan.

Atticus is my boyfriend. He was a transferee back then when we are in grade 10. Magkatabi kami ng upuan no'n kaya naging close kami. He was funny and caring at the same time, some of the reasons why I get attracted to him. I tried my best to stop my feelings to flourish for the sake of our friendship.

However, he confessed that the feelings are mutual. I told him that it might ruin what's between us but he said he won't let it happen. That's why I give it a try, I let him court me. After a couple of months, during our moving up, I said yes to him. And now, we're already in a relationship for a year and 3 months, and I never regretted the day I said yes to him.

We are legal on both sides. I felt harder and harder every passing day to him. He drowned me with his care and love.

Nginitian ko siya pabalik, kumindat siya sa'kin kaya inirapan ko siya. Nginisihan niya ako. I am in the third row while he is in the last row. Ayaw kong katabi siya kasi isa siyang humihingang distraction sa'kin. Katabi niya ang kanyang mga barkada, mga maiingay.

It was the second row's turn to introduce themselves, I smiled at my best friend when she stands up to introduce herself.

“I'm Willow Fernandez, I'm 17 years old... and I love reading,” she spoke.

Pagkatapos niyang magpakilala ay umupo sa agad sa kan'yang upuan, katabi ko siya. Inayos niya ang makapal niyang salamin sa mata at yumuko.

“What a typical nerd,” Gretchen commented from the front, the bitch in the class.

Laging pinupuna ni Gretchen ang mali o ayaw niya sa isang tao, ginagamit niya ito para ipahiya 'yon. I don't know if what she's doing pleases her. She loves to drown anyone in their insecurities without them doing anything bad to her.

“Gretchen Salcedo, 18 years old. Just don't mess with me if you don't want me to mess up your whole remaining days in this class,” she seriously said earning silence.

“Talaga ba, Gretchen?” one of my boy classmates commented.

The whole room was filled with our laughter.

Gretchen on the other hand smirks, “Asshole,” she mouthed to the one who shouted earlier, it's Adam.

Nagpatuloy sa pagpapakilala ang mga kaklase ko, my heart thumps as my turn is near.

“Good morning, everyone! My name is Hannah Marie Hernan, 17 years old. I love myself but I love Jason more,” she introduced with glee.

Tumili ang mga kaklase ko. Namula si Jason dahil nasa kanya ang attention ng buong klase. Sinubsob niya ang kan'yang ulo sa kan'yang lamesa na naging sanhi ng pagtawa ng lahat, isa na ako roon.  Alam na ng lahat na may gusto si Hannah kay Jason, Hannah was always vocal with her feelings towards Jason but I don't know if he felt the same.

Tumayo na ako para magpakilala dahil ako na ang kasunod.

“Hello, I am Bettina Lavinia Santos, 17 years old. You can call me Bel or Bela and I'm fond of singing,” I introduced trying my best not to stutter.

“Sample!” some of my classmates requested but I shook my head, declining their pleas.

“Pasikat,” Gretchen commented in a low voice, I still heard it.
