Love in the Midnight Sky (Midnight Series #2)

They say, your first love will be your one greatest true love...

I don't honestly believe in the saying but if it's really true, maybe in some aspect, would he be the one for me in the end? Would he be destined for me? Would he be my one greatest true love if I wanted him for the first time?

Tumitig ako sa kanya sa malayong gilid habang siya'y prente at tahimik lang na nanonood.

He's handsome or good-looking but somehow, I will beg to disagree with the understatement.

He looked pretty in a very manly calm way. His cold brooding chinito eyes; brows shot up, high lashes, high narrowed nose, red lips, and his prominent jawline looked gorgeous.

Nasa 8th grade ako noong madalas ko na siyang nakikita dahil magkatabi lang ang aming room ngunit ngayong nasa 9th grade at nagkataong nasa iisa kaming section at parehong magkaklase ay doon na nagsimula ang hindi inaasahang paghanga at nagdedeliryong atraksiyon ko sa kanya.

My heart is fluttering everytime I stared at his cold-looking-killer eyes. Even right now. I felt like my whole body is crumbling whenever he's there around. I really had a huge crush on him... lalo na't tuwing natititigan ko nang matagal ang malamig at suplado niyang mga maya—mas lalo lang akong nahuhumaling sa kanya. Basta, crush na crush ko talaga itong si Montecarlo.

"Oras na, lakambini walo..." anunsyo ng school council president na siyang emcee sa patimpalak na ito sa loob ng school.

Naghiyawan at nagpalakpakan ang mga schoolmates ko sa paligid. My squad and some of my classmates cheered for me raucously. My lips stretched for a wide smile as I show off my sensually ramp towards in front.

"Go Zamarah! Woooh!"

"Go best! Galingan mo! Break a leg!"

"Galingan mo, babe!"

Their boisterous cheers filled the entire covered court. Mas lalong lumapad ang ngiti ko sa mga naghihiyawan at nagpapalakpakan para sa akin. It delivered goosebumps down my spine so I had to let out an inward breath to ease the tension.

"Beb, galingan mo..." my partner, Rafi, mouthed at me as he headed back right after his Q&A.

I scoffed inwardly.

Siya ang Lakan ko at ako ang Lakambini niya pero base sa pinamalas niyang galaw ngayong gabi ay dapat siya talaga itong mas karapat-dapat na pambato ng section namin sa Lakambini, e.

I just smiled widely as I ambled in front. Patuloy pa rin ang hiyawan ng mga kaibigan at kaklase ko. Kahit sanay na ako sa ganitong patimpalak ay hindi ko pa rin naiwasang kabahan lalo na't 'yong crush ko ay tahimik na nakamasid at nanonood.

Ever since I was younger, I used to join pageant and modelling. Madami-dami na rin akong sinalihan simula noong elementary pa lang ako pero ngayon lang talaga ako nakadama nang sobrang kaba dahil sa kanya.

I just inhaled and exhaled calmly when the emcee handed me the mic.

"Ito ang iyong katanungan lakambini walo," anito at agad na sinipat ang card na hawak.

For some reason, my heart drummed very loud against my ribcage. I glanced at him stealthily and he's still just watching the whole thing with his serious cold looking eyes.

Okay, Zamarah. Kaya mo 'yan! Make him as your inspiration like what you usually do in doing your recitation and school works!

"Kung mabibigyan ka ng pagkakataon na mag-confess sa iyong crush, saan at paano mo ito gagawin?"
