Just like that

Chapter 8

2 years had passed but just like that, no improvements. Mas lalong lumala ang pagtingin niya kay Remyr.

She is wishing and hoping that he would notice her.

Third year High school

February 14. Valentines Day.

Their school held an Valentine Ball. She's not into those kinds of parties or Ball's, whatever you called it. She hates gowns, putting some make-up on her face. She's not fond to it. But to her dismay, their teacher said that it was part of their project. They should come and it's compulsary. She grimaced on what she heard.

I have no choice but to attend to that goddamn stupid ball.

But why do I have this feeling that it will cause no good to me? She pouted. Here I am Overthinking again.

On that evening. She is just sitting on the corner while her other classmates are on the dancefloor with their partners.

Sheesh. What's with those people? Ugh. Lovey dovey whatever. She remained her stoic face while watching them.

She saw her brother on a far corner with his circle of friends. Her brother looks bored tho.

Then a hand appeared infront of her. She looked up and saw a guy. Her forehead creased but the guy just smile.

Its a senior. A higher year than her.

"May I?" He slightly bent down and offer his hand.

She stared at his face. The guy is handsome she must say. It has a chinky eyes na kapag ngumingiti parang wala ng mata. Has a pointy nose with a little mole on the right side and a pair of pinky lips.

Yung totoo? Lalaki ba to? Parang babae eh. Eh mas makinis pa mukha nito kesa sakin eh.

It took a minute when she accepted it. The guy widely smiled when she accepted it.

They walked through the dancefloor. Her gown is gliding as they walk. Her gown is a tube type and it's color is red that made her really whiter and it suits her very well. Her hair is in lazy curls that smoothly flows on her shoulders. The guy place his hands on her waist and she place her hands on its neck.

"So, Hi." The guy said with a smile.

"Hi." Tipid na sagot ko. He looks familiar when in up-close. My forehead creased. The guy chuckled.

"You really can't remember me, huh?" He said with an amused grin. Na mas lalong nagpakunot ng noo ko. I shook my head.

"Ang daya naman! Ako unang kita ko palang sayo kilala na kita agad pero ikaw? Ouch, It hurts!" Umakto pa itong parang nasasaktan.

"Just... familiar." I responded. I am looking at him intently.

Then she remembered.

May payat siyang batang kalaro na katapat lang ng bahay nila. Mahilig yong mag imitate ng mga super heroes lalo na si Spiderman. Naalala niya nga na nakikita niya itong tumatakas sa mga yaya nito sa pamamagitan ng pag akyat sa gate. Pag dating niya sa may bahay tinatanong ko siya kung bakit siya hinihingal ang sinasagot niya.
