Queen Of Bitterness Meets Her Match

Chapter 25 (Part 1)

(Frischia's POV)

Time passed so fast. Ngayon, February 14 na.

Normal day lang naman ngayon para sakin. Wala namang program eh. Still the same. Maliban nalang sa mga heart-shaped designs na nakasabit sa labas at loob ng campus. May mga cupid designs pa nga eh. Tyaka nagkalat na rin ang mga nagpapabenta ng flowers, chocolates, at lahat ng pwedeng panregalo ngayong valentines.

Kasama ko ngayon si Stasia na nakaupo dito sa benches. Mukhang excited siya ngayong valentine's.

Nagulat ako nang biglang may nagbigay sa kanya ng flowers and chocolates.

"Anastasia, para sayo nga pala." Nahihiyang sabi ng isang batang lalaki na tingin ko, grade 7 lang. Gwapo siya pero mahiyain.

"Oh. Thank you." Nakangiting sabi ng kapatid ko na kunwaring nagulat pa. Expected niya na rin naman to eh hahaha.

Bumalik na kami sa paglalakad pero mukhang hindi pa rin nakamove on tong si Stasia. Nakangiti pa rin eh tapos halatang kinikilig.

"Hey, bakit kinikilig ka ng sobra? Lagi namang may nagbibigay sayo ng ganun kahit hindi valentines eh." Puna ko sa kanya.

"Ayt! Hindi ko pa pala nakwento sayo. Yun kasi yung super crush ko ate." Sagot niya na parang nahihiya pa.

Hindi nalang ako sumagot. Kaya pala hahaha. Ang kapatid ko, lumalablayp na! Hahaha.

"Look who's coming." Sabi ni Stasia kaya napahinto kami sa paglalakad at tiningnan kung sino yung tinutukoy niya.

"Hey!" Bati samin ni Xander.

"Hi. Maiwan ko na kayo ha? Baka makaepal lang ako sa inyo eh." Paalam ng kapatid ko at umalis na.

Aish! Kapatid ko ba talaga yun? Bakit niya ako ginaganun?

"Uy punta tayo sa gym. Tara!" Yaya ni Xander sakin. Hindi pa nga ako pumapayag pero hinila na niya agad ako papasok sa gym.

"Uy! Malapit na ang klase." Sabi ko nang nakitang 5 minutes na lang, time na.

Pagpasok ko sa gym, sobrang dilim. Naramdaman kong wala na si Xander sa tabi ko kaya kinabahan ako. The whole gym was covered kaya hindi mailawan ng araw. Kaya parang gabi ngayon dito sa sobrang dilim eh.

"X-xander? Wag kang manakot." Natatakot kong sigaw. Wala na akong pake kung may ibang tao pang makarinig sakin dito.

Nagulat na lang ako nang biglang makita yung mga pictures ko simula 1st year high school sa isang malaking projector sa harap.

May mga pictures nung sumali ako sa mga contests, may mga pictures na nasa school ako, lahat stolen eh. Si Xander ba ang may gawa ng lahat ng ito?

Biglang may umilaw na spotlight sa harap at nakitang nasa harap sila Xander with his band members. Isa-isa silang tinamaan ng spotlight.

"One Thing by One Direction"

(Xander)

I've tried playing it cool

But when I'm looking at you

I can't ever be brave

Cause you make my heart race

(Fritz)

Shot me out of the sky

You're my kryptonite

You keep making me weak

Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

(Weign & Reign)

Something's gotta get now

Cause I'm dying just to make you see

That I need you here with me now

Cause you've got that one thing

(All)

So get out, get out

Get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't

Don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

And you've got that one thing

(Xander)

Now I'm climbing the walls

But you don't notice at all

That I'm going out of my mind

All day and all night

(Weign, Reign, & Fritz)

Something's gotta get now

Cause I'm dying just to know your name

And I need you here with me now

Cause you've got that one thing

(All)

So get out, get out

Get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't

Don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

So Get out, get out

Get out of my mind

And come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't

Don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

And you've got that one thing

(Reign & Weign)

Oh oh oh.............

(Fritz)

You've got that one thing

(Xander)

Get out, get out

Get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

(All)

So get out, get out

Get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't

Don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

So Get out, get out

Get out of my mind

And come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't

Don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

And you've got that one thing

May kasamang dance steps pa yung kanta nila. Tapos isa-isa silang lumapit sakin at binigyan ako ng roses. Awwww sweet hahahaha.

"Frischia, happy valentines." Bati sakin ni Xander at lumapit.

Speechless pa rin ako ngayon pero nakangiti.

Bigla nalang umilaw ang buong gym. Nasa bleachers yung mga kaibigan ko. Buti nalang at wala nang ibang tao dito kundi, kami-kami lang.

"Let's runaway?" Yaya niya kaya gumising ang kaluluwa ko.
