P.S Always and Forever

Chapter 2

"Well, he's tall, handsome, and so romantic. Oh, we walked together, and talked together, and just before we said goodbye, he took me in his arms, and then ... I woke up."

I giggled at the note I took on my notebook. This little notebook contains all my favorite lines from my favorite books and Disney movies.

I giggled again before sighing dreamily. I hugged my notebook closer to my chest as I closed my eyes to feel the wind around me. It made my hair dance, and my soul happy.

"Ouch!" A ball flew to my back making me stumble forward. Napadapa ako sa grass at naluha dahil sa nangyari. Lalo akong naluha nang makitang may onting punit ang cover ng notebook ko.

"Hala! Bella, anong nangyari sa iyo?! Okay ka lang?!" The helper helped me stand up and even brushed the grass off my pink dress.

I sniffled and pouted as I watched the helper fix my dress and hair.

"I fell because of their ball but please don't blame them." I said in my little voice, slightly quivering because of what happened.

Our helper, Wina, looked at me with worry in her eyes. "Anak, tahan na. Okay ka lang? May masakit ba? May onti kang gasgas sa tuhod mo. Uuwi na tayo, ah?"

I nodded and pouted more. "My notebook was ruined. Mama Wina, help me."

Our helper nodded before hugging me. "Tahan na, tahan na. Aayusin natin ang notebook mo pag uwi, okay?"

I nodded before brushing the tears away. "Okay po."

Tumayo na galing sa pagluhod si Mama Wina at inayos ang buhok ko. Hindi na namin namalayan na nalapitan na kami ng mga batang naglalaro sa park.

"Hala, sorry, bata! Namali kami ng bato kanina ng bola!" A kid went nearer to us. I looked at him, still pouting. Nakita kong sincere siya sa paghingi ng tawad.

I nodded before playing with my fingers. "Okay lang po. Sana po 'di niyo na ulitin para wala na po kayong mabato sa susunod." I said in my little voice.

Tiningnan ko sila isa isa at biglang nanlaki ang mata dahil sa isang nakatingin sa akin. Nagtago ako sa likod ni Mama Wina habang nilalaro ang mga daliri ko.

"Pasalamat kayo at hindi napuruhan ang alaga ko sa ginawa niyo. Mag ingat sa susunod, ah?" Mama Wina lectured them.

The boys nodded before apologizing to me again. I only nodded at them. Hindi na ako makapagsalita dahil sa isang nakatingin sa akin.

"Oh, siya. Maglaro na kayo. Tandaan ang pagiging maingat sa bola, ah?"

"Opo!"

"Bella, let's go. May dinner pa sa kabilang mansion dahil sa pag alis ni Misha. You want to see her before she goes, right?"

My eyes widened and nodded eagerly at Mama Wina. "Opo, tara na po!"

Mama Wina chuckled at me as I tugged her arms. Nagsimula na kami maglakad. Well, I'm skipping.

"Skipping your diet again, Crim? You have a scheduled shoot mamaya, right?" Misha asked as we were eating in the cafeteria of the university.

Crim groaned before eating the best selling burgers of the university, matched with burger steak and fries.

"Shut up, I was craving for burgers. Babawi naman ako sa workout."

Misha rolled her eyes as she ate her salad. "Why do I worry? Hindi naman you tumataba."

Crim nodded in approval. "Correct." She said before eating.

I just sat silently and looked over my notes from the past semester as they continued to eat. Tapos ko na kasi kainin ang stir fry noodles ko kaya hinihintay ko na lang sila matapos.

"Lecture lang later, right?" Misha asked me. I nodded as I highlighted the important terms I wrote in my notebook.

"Tahimik mo, Bellatrix. Natatae ka ba?"

I glared at Crim before slapping her arm. She laughed before resuming eating.

"Yeah, pansin ko rin. You're so quiet today, bebe. Are you okay? Do you have sakit ba?" Misha asked before lifting her hand to my forehead to feel if I'm warm or not.

I shook my head. "I just felt like not talking today."

Crim nodded as if she understood. "Ah, the social battery ran out?"

I nodded at her before pouting. Crim draped her arm over my shoulder before pulling me to her. Her other hand was used in eating.

"We're here lang, bebe. We'll do the talking for you."

"I love you both so much." I whispered before I continued reading my lecture notes.

"I forgot the reason why the other class was dissolved. Bakit daw, Crim?" Misha asked.

"Onti na lang daw kasi ang graduating sa klase na 'yon plus last semester na raw ng class na 'yon, eh. Then onti lang naman tayo sa section natin so they decided to merge the class together."

"We haven't met our instructor in that class yet. Kilala niyo ba?"

"Yup, si Ma'am Amelia. Mabait 'yon. Na meet ko na nung nag pageant ako last year."

"It's a good thing pala na kilala mo na, Crim. We can be on her good side."

Crim grimaced at her. "In short, pwedeng sumipsip. Hay nako, Misha. Hindi tayo ganon, tandaan mo!"

"That's not what I meant! If she's a terror professor, she will lie low with our class since may mga kilala siyang students."

"It was a good thing din na first class natin for MWF ang class niya." I said, finally having the strength to talk.

Crim nodded. "Pero, I think it's not the first class of the seniors. Ewan ko, hindi ko pa nga kilala kung sino. Hindi sinasabi ng instructors ng department natin kung what class and from what department."

"Well, I am hoping mabait ang future classmates natin. We would bitch around if it's not. Lalo ka na, Crim." Misha said before stealing fries from Crim.

Crim nodded. "Oo, gago. Yayain ko agad ng suntukan kung basura ang ugali."

"Pero, oh, my gosh! What if may pogi?" Misha gushed excitedly.

Crim frowned at her. "Gagong 'to, hindi pa nga kilala, gusto nang lumandi."

"Stop washing hands! Naghahanap ka rin ng pogi!"

"Malamang! Sino bang hindi?!"

"Well, I'm not." I said, joining in their banter.

Crim snorted before smirking at me. "Si childhood crushie pa rin ba?"

That made me blush. I rolled my eyes at her. Nagsisisi na ako na sumali pa ako sa usapan nila.

"Oh, my gosh! The boy you were telling us about before? Crush mo pa rin?!" Misha excitedly said.

"Will you both tone down your voice? Nakakahiya!" I said, awkwardly, because we're getting attention from other people inside the cafeteria.

"Gagi, nasaan na kaya 'yon, 'no? Dapat naglaro na kayo noon! Tapos iba na ang laro na gagawin niyo ngayon!" Crim said before laughing with Misha.

I pouted before sighing.
