✓ Forbidden Sweetness of Eden [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9

As a college student, you have to know your major nemesis; old Professors, favoritism and among all are your 'minor subjects'.

Bullets of sweat were dripping on Kristel's face down to her neck and chest. She was anticipating the other party's next moves. Her whole arms were numb and her feet were swollen. Her chest was visibly going up and down as she caught her breath.

Her whole system went in the deepest depth of anxiety when the inflated ball flew in the air and was sent to her straight. Kristel gulped audibly as she positioned herself to receive the ball. Unfortunately, when God rained talents Kristel was deep asleep. Instead of receiving the ball with her wrist, the ball went straight to her face.

"Krissy!"

"Shit!"

"Medic!"

"Hoy! Tawagin niyo si Nurse Jam!"

"Krissy!"

There was a deafening stillness ringing inside Kristel's head. The noises around her were blurry and fuzzy. She was unable to move as her exhausted body dropped at the gymnasium floor. And before she could lose her consciousness, she pitied those people who tried lifting her.

Kristel groaned when her head sting. Medyo nahihilo pa rin siya gawa ng pagtama ng bola sa kaniyang mukha. Her hands and feet are still numb and swollen from playing Volleyball under their curriculum, Physical Education.

" ....sy? Krissy? Are you okay? Do you feel fine now? God! I'm so worried! I'm sorry! It's my fault! I should've subbed you in the first place! Nahihilo ka pa rin ba? Wait lang, tatawagin ko lang si Nurse Jam." Umiiyak si Callid. Nagi-guilty siya sa nangyari. She knew Kristel was not fond of sports. If only she sub in the first place, this won't happen.

"I-I'm fine..." Kristel gave her friend a reassuring smile. Her eyes wandered. "Wow. I'm in the clinic." Puno ng sarkasmo ang tono niya.

She is big and heavy. There is no way that one of her classmates nor her whole schoolmates lifted her and was able to bring her to the clinic.

"S-Sinong nagdala sa'kin dito?" Tanong niya habang pinipilit ang sariling makaupo sa clinic bed.

Dinaluhan naman kaagad ni Callid ang kaibigan at tinulungan ito. She was biting her lips. She was hesitating if she should let her friend know or not that the Professor who has a crush on her was the one who brought her to the clinic.

"Cally?" Kristel called. Her friend was in deep thoughts. "Ang sabi ko, sinong nagdala sa'kin dito? I should thank him—or them, at least."

Callid tried to smile but failed.

"It's ..." Callid cleared her throat before leaning near Kristel's ear to whisper. "It was Sir Teo and he looked really mad."

Hearing the Professor's name, Kristel couldn't help but to sigh deeply. If there is someone who is capable of lifting her with ease it would be him, Professor Teodomero Uzil.

"Where is he? I should let him know that I'm okay. OA pa naman ang isang 'yon." Sambit niya.

Callid has to agree with her friend. Naaalala niya pa ang mukha ng Propresor noong mahimatay ang kaibigan niya nang dahil sa kondisyon nito.

"Perhaps, did you know that he's friends with the President's son?" Callid asked.

Kristel frowned. "No. Why?"

Callid blinked multiple times before gasping in horror. "Did you two get busted? May iba pa bang nakakaalam na crush ka ni Sir Teo?! Fuck! Baka nalaman na rin ng President ng school na nakatira kayo sa iisang bahay?!" Maingat na singhal ng kaibigan niya sa kaniya.
