The Three of Us

Chapter 1- The Three

I always knew that you can't love two people. Why?

Because our soul is only meant for one.

But what if this soul meant to love two people at the same time. It's still okay?

Isn't Love they truly feel or they just need to fill their needs?

Would still be acceptable to your heart or even in the society?

I bet I know what is right but I still need to do what is wrong.

Chapter 1

"Kyaaah! Gwapo ni Zack!" Sigaw ng babae sa tabi ko habang kinocoverage ko ang basketball team na lumalaban sa National League. 

Ang tinutukoy nila ay yung kaklase kong si Zack Bartolome. Naku napakasikat nya sa mga babae pero sa classroom namin sakit sya sa ulo. Walang ginawa kundi mang gulo!

"3 points for Bartolome!" Sigaw ng commentator. Yes! Perp kahit ganun nadadala nya naman ang team sa national. Ace player din kase sya ng East Square University. 

"Lala, have you captured that?" Tanong sakin ni Sir Lim na kakalapit lang sa pwesto ko. Ginaya ko ang hawak kong camera sa aming adviser. I smile sweetly at him. "Yes sir. Got it." He nodded then went back at  watching our team.

I bit my lip and continue to take photos. Sheesh. I touched my cheeks, I wonder how I feel so hot whenever he is around.

 Finally, the moment has come that our team won the championship! Everyone in the campus screams at the top of their

 lungs! What a moment! 

Nanalo bilang best player si Zack. Sus! Aangas naman to sa classroom! Kainis. Pero di bali na atleast we won! 

After the game, nagkaroon ng victory party ang class namin. Tatlo kase mula sa class namin ay player ng basketball team. 

"Congrats Zack!!! Kiss naman dyan!" Sigaw ni Emily dito. One of our classmates. "Sure." He said and kissed her. 

Naghiyawan ang mga kaklase at napangiwi na lang ako. 

"Bartoleme at Sta. Cruz, itigil nyo yan. Nasa classroom kayo."  Pumasok bigla si Sir Lim at napabalikwas si Emily at napatakip ng labi ngunit kinikilig pa rin. Napangising aso naman si Zack. "Sorry sir. Nadala lang." Natatawang ani nito. 

Umiling na lang si Sir Lim. "After nyo, linisin nyo ang mga kalat at dumeretso na kayo pauwi." He said as he clean up his things on the table. 

I was just sitting quietly at the corner when our eyes suddenly met. Agad ako napaiwas ng tingin sa balik sa mga shots ko. Hays! Ellanor! Wag kang pahalata!

"Lala, kamusta mga kuha mo? May isasubmit ka na ba sa school newspaper natin?" Tumabi sakin si Gigi. Isa sa mga malapit kong kaklase. Tumungo ako. "Yep. I think eto ang da best shot ko."

Pinakita ko kay Gigi ang camera ko. Kuha ito ng winning moment ni Zack matapos ang crucial 3 points shot nya. "Whooa. Ganda ng kuha mo kay Zack dito ah!" Malakas na pagkakasabi ni Gigi dahilan para mapatingin sa gawi namin si Zack. 

It's just for a ten seconds that he look at me and turn around as if I wasn't there. 

We had been classmates for almost 5 years. From high school up to now that we are in Senior High. We never really had an interaction. 

Hindi ko lang talaga sya feel. I think he feel the same way too.

Nagtagal pa ng ilang minuto ang party sa classroom hangang sa naglinis na kami. Napapunta ako sa lamesa ni Sir Lim at nakita ko doon ang kanyang mukhang mamahaling signed pen.
