How Great Is Our Love

Kabanata 1

"Gabbie!" Agad kong tinakpan ang tenga ko ng makarinig ako ng matitinis na sigaw. And I know where it came from, galing yun sa mga best friends kong nakalunok ng megaphones.

"Guys! Lakasan niyo pa, di ko narinig eh." Sarkastikong pahayag ko habang tumatakbo sila palapit sa akin ngunit hindi nila iyon pinansin sa halip ay isa-isa akong niyakap ng mahigpit.

"Gabbie! Ikaw na ang bagong SC President!" Sabi ni Chelsea, actually hindi niya sinabi sinigaw niya eh.

Chelsea's the cutest sa barkada, she got the natural curly brown hair, pouty lips, and a pair of eyeglasses. She looks like a nerd, but a cute one.

"Oh my gosh! Andiyan na ang results?!" I asked while giggling.

"Hindi, wala pa, joke lang namin lahat ng ito. Fuck shit oo nga Gab!" And that was Marielle.

She's the prettiest among all of us. She's fair, she has a natural blonde wavy hair, her face turns very red whenever she's blushing, she's good at using deep English words and she has an angelic voice. And before I forget, do not dare to annoy her, she will literally kick your ass because this damn good looking small individual is a taekwondo player.

"Oh my gosh talaga! Bilisan niyo, tara na!" Hinigit ko ang kamay ni Marj, kasi alam ko sa lahat, siya lang yung kaya kong kaladkarin nang hindi magrereklamo.

Marj was the most silent compared to all of us, tahimik rin ako gaya niya kaya hindi ko nga alam kung bakit napabilang kami sa grupo ng mga kaibigan namin knowing that they are all loud. Pero kumpara sa akin, sadyang mas tahimik si Marj, siya kasi ang tipo na makikinig lang tuwing nagsisigawan na ang lahat tapos tatawa lang kung may tatawanan with matching sipa sipa at hampas hampas, ganoon lang siya. She also has a curly hair, smaller curls compared to Chelsea's but it perfectly suits her. She's not white, not also a morena type, just a midway on both sides.

"Hindi halatang excited ka noh? Hintay ka nga!" Sigaw ni Irah.

Well Irah was......kind. But I know she'll hate me if I'll introduce her just like that. So she's a pessimist, she perceive things negatively, I always tell her that but she always say that her negative prognostications always happen, so don't debate her and her premonitions. She's the smartest, she's the loudest, she's the kindest, and she's the tallest in the circle. One interesting fact about her is, nagiging bakla ang mga nagiging gusto niya. I don't know if that's innate about those guys or it was a curse, I found it really funny tho.

Hindi ko na sila pinansin sa halip ay mas binilisan ko ang pagtakbo habang kinakaladkad si Marj, alam ko namang susunod sila.

"Gabbie! Manlibre ka ha." That's Mimi, nagulat ako kasi nasa tabi ko na siya well mabilis naman kasi talaga siyang tumakbo.

This girl behind me is the craziest, she's an acads addict and a glutton. Palagi siyang gutom, no wonder she's got a big belly. She loves science and volleyball but she loves science most. Don't be shocked if she looks so weird because she truly is.

Nang palapit na kami sa SC office, marami ang bumati sa akin. Nagpapasalamat lang ako pero tuloy pa rin ako sa paglalakad habang hawak ang kamay ni marj at alam kong nakabuntot ang iba ko pang kaibigan sa likod ko.

At nang nakarating ako sa tapat ng office, nakita ko sa digital screen ang listahan ng mga bagong halal na opisyal ng Student Council para sa taong ito. And my name was written as the Student Council President.
