The Rivalry Theory

Chapter One

Election

He was really good-looking.

I'm the type of person who appreciates attractive people, and this specific guy stands out.

He emits so much aura, his manly demeanour completing his anonymity presence. He was tall, I'd guess he was around six foot three. His black hair ends at the top of his shoulder, side bangs framing his chiseled face. He was not that tanned, not too pale as well. Owning a white buttons-up shirt and black slacks fit, his arms designed with visible protruding veins as the sleeves were folded neatly on his elbows.

Gosh, he was really handsome.

I cleared my throat and looked around, seeing that I wasn't the only one gawking at him. I released a sigh of relief.

"You should take a sit first, I'll be announcing a few stuff before we move on to the introduction." M'am Diaz said as she taps his broad shoulder. He nodded, fixing the strap of his backpack as he looked around the room.

Giggles of girls and looks of confusion was drawn to each faces of the students. I heard a few even saying, "Grabe, sobrang gwapo. New crush unlocked," as a girl squealed.

"Puro pogi ba talaga sa loob ng private schools? Mag transfer na ata ako ah, para madagdagan." A guy said while his friends laughed at his remark.

The new guy skimmed the room, until his eyes found mine looking at him intently.

Pati ba naman yung mata, sobrang ganda. It was a light shade of brown, in which I knew if the sun hits it, would glow brighter.

Unfair! He is obviously God's favorite.

Isaiah nudged my shoulder, as the guy in front of us walked to my direction. Without my eyes leaving his, he prolonged his stare at me before walking to my left side behind the lab table. He was now standing beside me, and then he spoke.

"Is this seat taken?" His slender fingers pointed at the high chair, where my tote bag was placed. I shook my head as I took my stuff, "No, you can sit there."

I inhaled sharply as I tried to act nonchalant. Shuta, this guy was making me stiff and conscious. Tapos katabi ko pa siya!

Tumango siya at umupo sa tabi ko. Nasa gitna na ako ngayon ni Isaiah at ni...

"Uy, nice meeting you pre! What's your name?" Bumaling ang aking atensyon kay Isaiah na naka tingin sakanya habang naka patong ang kanyang mga braso sa lamesa. "Grabe grand entrance mo, ten out of ten! Napaka pogi mo, naba-bakla na ata ako. Crush na agad kita—"

"Mister! Ang lakas-lakas ng boses mo, para kang lumamon ng isang malaking speaker!" Giit ng guro naming naka tingin nang masama sa direksyon ni Isaiah. He sat straight while scratching his head. "Sorry po ma'am, nagpapakilala lang po ako kay new classmate—"

"Sige, tumayo ka at ikaw ang magsimula ng introduction natin! Mga bata talaga," She mumbled angrily, while Isaiah stood up happily.

Excited magpakilala ampota.

"Hi guys! I'm Isaiah Falquez, you can call me Isaiah, or baby pwede naman." Hirit niya habang kinikindatan ang mga babaeng kinikilig. He continued, "I'm seventeen years old, turning eighteen this year as well. Nag HUMSS ako kasi akala ko walang math. Fake news pala."
