Chasing Our Dreams

chapter 4

"It's not like he stopped me to introduce himself my ass" he said in a mocking manner.

"Kuya naman, he's a fan and I didn't want to come off as rude" I scolded him and he just crossed his arms like a child who wasn't allowed to buy any sweets. "Plus, it's not like we're gonna date each other after meeting for the first time".

"So? That doesn't mean that you guys aren't gonna be doing that" sabi sakin ni Kuya while crossing his arms. "I know how men think, I'm just looking out for you sis".

"Looking out? You know what Kuya? I don't have the energy for this" sabi ko and then I crossed my arms as well. "We'll talk about this later".

But, I have to admit, he's quite handsome and seeing him made me feel stuff inside my stomach. Wait, NO! I can't be falling for some guy I don't know.

After about 45 minutes, the event was done and I was already stretching out my limbs because that has got to be the most uneventful and boring thing that I had to listen to. I was about to get out of the gymnasium when someone had grabbed my wrist making me stop in my tracks and turn to the person.

"What do you want Vince?" I asked in a cold manner while maintaining a stoic expression.

"Tristan is bad news, don't associate yourself with him" he said maintaning his monotonous voice.

"I will associate with the people I want to associate with" sabi ko kay vince raising an eyebrow. "Also can you let go of my wrist".

As I said that he immediately retracted his hand and placed it into his pocket making my brother laugh.

"Kuya, instead of comforting your friend, you chose to laugh and you didn't even try to hide it" I told him in a serious tone since there were a lot of people around.

"He had it coming and he knew it" he said still laughing at his friend who's cheeks were turning a shade of pink because of humiliation.

"Whatever" I said and then looked at my phone and saw that Selle had chatted me to go to the room for the classroom elections since it's gonna happen after this period. "We will talk about this later at the house kuya, but for now I have to go since class elections are about to start".

I said my farewells to the both of them and then started walking to the building and up the stairs to our classroom.

Wow, that literally took me 15 minutes just to get here. I honestly forget how big the school actually is sometimes.

Once I reached the room, I knocked on the door and then waited for the go signal to go inside.

"Come in" my adviser said with a cheerful tone, so I went in and and greeted her good morning before quickly sitting down on my seat.

"You're just in time Cassandra" she stated and then I just looked up from my seat. "We were just about to start nominating for class president and vice president".

"Oh, really?" I asked in an "enthusiastic" tone and she nodded her head.

"Mhm, we wanted to wait for you before we vote for class president and vice president. So, let's start?" my adviser Ms. Rachel said in a delighted tone to which we all just nodded our heads. "The nomination for class President is now open".

"I nominate Renz Dominic Silvester" sabi ni Lorraine tsaka umupo ng abot langit ang ngiti.

"Ma'am" rinig kong tawag ni Renz sa teacher namin kaya tumingin ako sa gawi nya. "I nominate Cassandra Fleur Gonzaga".

I was taken a back, but I wasn't surprised. I just sighed and told myself that since I'll become a part of the class officers then I'll try for student council next time.
