Forgotten Heartstrings

Chapter 10

Nagtatawanan ang mga kaklase ko. Nakaupo lang kami ni Eris sa aming mga upuan at nagbabasa ng aming notes sa ibang subjects namin.

Wala naman kaming quiz or activity today, parang nakakahiya naman kung hindi ako mag study eh 'tong si Eris, nagbabasa ng kanyang notes kapag walang teachers.

Ayaw ko namang mapansin niyang tamad ako. Eris is such a studious person, he's smart, for sure standard niya rin ang matalino kaya sisipagan kong mag aral.

"Isaiah, tao ka ba?"

Umalingawngaw ang boses ni David, inaasar niya si Isaiah na kanina pa nagbabasa ng libro. But it wasn't an academic book, it was a wattpad book.

Ayos din 'tong babaeng 'to.

"Kalbo, tigilan mo ako!" Sigaw pabalik ni Isaiah  kay David na nasa likod katabi ni Hugo.

They are having fun, asar na asar naman si Isaiah. 'Pag 'tong si David at Isaiah nagkatuluyan, magcecelibrate talaga ako.

Natahimik ang lahat nang pumasok si ang aming adviser na si Ma'am Mendez, kasama ang isang magandang babae.

Our adviser, Ma'am Mendez, entered the classroom with a warm smile. "Good morning, class."

"Good morning, ma'am," bati naming lahat.

"Today, we have a new student joining us. Miss, kindly introduce yourself to the class," Masayang utos ni Ma'am sa kanya.

A tall, graceful girl stepped forward, exuding confidence. "Hi, everyone. My name is Sasha Wyn Alvidrez, but you can call me Sasha," she began, her voice clear and poised. "Beyond the runway and the stage, I'm passionate about protecting our environment and promoting healthy living. An academic achiever from my previous school. I believe that beauty goes beyond the physical. That's why I'm here, using my voice to advocate for a healthier planet and a healthier you!"

Shux, parang pageant lang sinalihan eh.

The room buzzed with whispers and admiration. Sasha's introduction had left a strong impression, and I could see my classmates nodding appreciatively.

I couldn't help but admire Sasha's physical appearance. She is undeniably pretty, with porcelain skin that seemed to glow under the classroom lights. Her pointy nose and pouty lips added to her refined look, and her beautiful eyes had a way of capturing attention. Sasha's long, wavy blond hair cascaded down her shoulder, giving her an almost ethereal quality.

Mukha siyang Korean.

She wore the school's uniform—a white blouse beneath a green blazer and necktie, paired with a green skirt. Completing her look was a pink beret that added a touch of personal flair. Sasha exuded confidence and elegance, making it easy to see why she was involved in modeling and pageants. No wonder.

I noticed Sasha glancing in Eris's direction, her eyes lingering for a moment longer than necessary. Napalingon din ako kay Eris na ngayon ay parang nakikipag eye-to-eye contact kay Sasha.

Sige mga boss, titig well.

Sasha chose a seat beside Kim, our classmate known for his friendly yet strict demeanor. As Sasha settled in, I caught Eris looking at her with mild interest once again, and a pang of something unidentifiable struck me.

Hindi pa pala sila tapos sa eye-to-eye contact session nila. Hindi na ako nag react at kinuha na lamang ang notebook ko sa bag nang magsimula nang mag lesson si Ma'am.
