Run, Princess! Run!

27km

Days came by and before we know it, graduation is just around the corner. In a month, we'll be leaving this school that'd been our home for the past 4years.

As for us, seniors, bihira na kami kung magtrain. Academics are much more important.

"Ang daya! Sana graduating na din kami para iwas training!" maktol ni Henry.

Nakatanggap siya ng batok kay Ryan "Ang dami mong reklamo! Magquit ka nalang kayo no?"

"Kainggit eh." - Dexter

"Isang buwan nalang din naman eh bakasyon na rin no! Konting tiis nalang." - Jay

"Teka san ba kayo papasok ng college? Sama niyo ako pagiinquire ah? I heard madaming chix sa universities!" - Zeke

Ako naman ang nambatok sa kanya "Magtapos ka muna ng highschool!"

"Guys chill okay? Isang buwan pa yun, madami pang pwedeng mangyari. Sa usapang 'to parang gusto niyo na kaming paalisin." - Adam.

"Iiyak na yan!" - Benj

Binigyan niya din ito ng isang batok.

Sa gitna ng kalokohan nila. Bigla akong napalingon na para bang may hinahanap.

Pero ang totoo, wala naman talaga or at least yun ang gusto kong paniwalaan.

Then my eyes landed on a figure. Her back facing me and as if she sensed someone's staring at her, she turned around and before she can catched my gaze, I looked away.

Been practicing that since that day.

Yes, I am trying to move forward.

It is hard pero pasalamat ako sa mga ugok na 'to, kinakaya ko. Mabagal pero umuusad.

The whole gang know what happened even the two girls. Nagiguilty na rin ako eh they are my friends and yet they don't know a thing about what I'm going through.

"Team, tama na ang daldalan! Balik training na!"

And of course her.

"At ikaw?" tinaasan niya ako ng kilay, trying her best to intimidate me.

I chuckled.

"Anong nakakatawa?" hands on her hips.

I raised my hands "Eto na, magbibihis na."

I was walking down the hallway of our building when I noticed someone I don't want to face right now.

She was standing beside the door and tilting her head in every direction. It looks like she was waiting for someone.

When her gaze fell in my direction, I felt my heart's beat. I don't know if it's because of happiness or anxiety.

I tried looking for other person baka naman kasi hindi ako diba? but unluckily, I was the only one here.

We were like 10meters away from each other and she started walking towards my direction.

I started to panic. My hands are sweating. I want to just walk away but I can't do that right now. She'll notice I'm avoiding her and that's bad news.

"Babe!" I heard from Olivia who was looking up to me here in the 3rd floor.

Thank heavens!

She just waved.

I saw in my peripheral vision that she was coming close to me.

Bahala na!

"Ha? Ano yun? Wait lang, I'll get down there!" ndi ko na hinintay pa ang reaksyon niya at umalis na doon.
