Burning Hearts

Prologue

Cresia's POV

I smiled through the tinted glass window of my dad's car, I look pass it and saw cars stop when the stop light turned red. I like the view of  the busy hours on the road, cars moving in different directions and people walking beside the road. I hummed quietly, taking the scene in front of me, maybe in my new and first school would be such a life changing experience for me, I beautiful one, I hope. I turned my head forward when I felt the car stop. Ah, we're here. I thought.

"We're here, princess." Dad said while looking at me that made me smile, I glance at my Mom who's watching me-for what would be my reaction is. My mom, with her teary eyed eyes and sweet smile. I know for sure that she's happy for me, of course her daughter is going to school, for the first time! Yes, for the first time, because I've been homeschooled since I was little.

"Dad, Mom's going to cry!" I commented that made them laugh.

"Oh our princess, I'm just happy for you." She replied, "make friends alright? Yung tubig mo nilagay ko na sa bag mo, I also packed foods for you." Mom ranted and I just nodded my head. Kanina pa niya sa'kin pinapa-a-lala ang mga 'yan, to the point na nasaulo ko na.

Dad chuckled lightly and look at my Mom like a puppy in love. My forehead creased and my nose crunch, cringe.

"Hon, our princess is going to be late for her first class." He said to her that made me stop. I saw my Dad whose well known for being ruthless when it comes to business gulp from the death stare of my innocent, soft spoken Mom. Uh-oh, trouble. Sensing the danger inside the car I immediately bid goodbye to my parents, kissing their cheeks and saying my I love yous to them.

Knowing her, hindi niya gustong pinipigilan siya, lalo na at tungkol sa'kin, she's overprotective of me for, well acceptable reasons. I have been diagnosed with a severe asthma that's why, since then they have me home schooled, fearing that something might happen to me while I'm in school. But now, that I'm seventeen and a senior high school student in grade twelve, I finally convinced them to make me go to school but with their condition of something happenor anything that related to the word danger, I would immediately go back to home schooling.

Nang makapasok sa gate ay tumingin ako sa paligid, may mga naglalakad, nagtatawanan, at may mga nakaupo sa ilalim ng puno. I glace at my wrist watch, maaga pa, six seventeen pa lang, ang alam ko ay magsisimula ang klase tuwing seven, and it means I have a lots of minutes to spare to look for my building and section.

Nag simula ako mag-lakad para hanapin ang kung saan ang room at section ko, pero ilang minuto na ang nakalipas, napapansin ko na para bang paikot -ikot lang ako, parang halos lahat ata ng building napuntahan ko na, when i look at my wrist watch it's already six forty five am. Dali dali akong nag lakad. Habang nag lalakad ako ng mabilis tumingin ako ulit sa wrist watch ko at sa pagmamadali ko ay hindi ko na nakita kung sinong nasa harapan at naramdaman ko na lang na may nabunggo ako.

"I'm really sorry, nag mamadali na kasi ako malapit na mag time, sorry talaga." Sabi ko sakanyan habang dali-daling tumayo at nag papagpag ng uniform, "sorry talaga." Sabi ko ulit at inilahad ko sakan'ya ang aking kamay para tulungan siyang tumayo.

Hinawakan naman niya yung kamay ko. "It's ok, I didn't see you either because I was looking at my wrist watch." Sabi niya habang nag papagpag ng uniform niya.

"Nga pala bye at sorry ulit, kailangan ko na kasing umalis dahil diko parin nahahanap room ko at malapit na mag seven kaya pasensya na ulit."

"Saan ba room mo at anong section ka?" Tanong niya saakin.

"Room 301, Mendeleev" Sabi ko.

"Oh, so same pala tayo ng section. Don't worry sabay na tayo mag punta malapit na tayo bilisan nalang natin mag-lakad" Sabi niya saakin. Nag sabay na kami mag lakad ng mabilis dahil it already six fifty five na five minutes nalang mag seseven na.

While we're almost run while we walk through our designated room, Reina-yes I know her already, she introduced herself earlier to me- didn't stop talking and kept entertaining me through the whole walk, and the best part of it is. . .she ask me to be her friend! So I immediately said yes. She's lovely and a very lively woman. We stop walking and we found our selves in the right corner on the second floor of the building, where we found our classroom.

"We're here." I muttered. My excitement is now coated with nervousness.
