CHAPTER 7

{A Horrendous Nightmare}

[ALICE'S POV]

Intramurals. Eto na yata ang araw na pinakahihintay ng lahat ng mga students sa campus namin. As we (the Student Council Officers) were lined up to welcome the visitors, our school's head were busy as he speaks with the Hertford Academy's Head. I also noticed yung mga tao na nakalined up sa likod niya. Maybe Student Council Officers ng Hertford Academy? Natigilan ako at napabuntong-hininga na lang nang may narinig akong bulungan sa likod ko.

"Nandyan kaya sa loob si Zander?" nagtatakang tanong nung kung sino mang malanding nasa likod ko.

Tinignan ko siya at nakita kong sinusubukan talaga niyang sumilip sa loob ng bus since hindi pa lumalabas yung mga students from the other school. Pa-VIP ang mga lolo't lola niyo!

"Sino ba yung Zander na sinasabi mo?" tanong naman ng katabi nung babaeng nasa likod ko.

I heard the girl from my back sighed, dreamily. "Sino pa ba?! Kung hindi yung Ace ng Hertford Academy's Soccer team!"

"Oo nga pala noh! May laban pala sila ngayon... Ganun ba talaga siya ka-gwapo? Mas hot pa kay Ethan?" nakangising tanong nung kaibigan niya.

"Ewan ko! Ang alam ko lang ang gwapo niya. Pero wala pa ring tatalo sa Baby Ethan ko noh!" nagyayabang na sabi niya.

Napailing na lang ako sa narinig ko. Kaya lumalaki yung ulo nung isa eh. I glared at the person in front of me na walang iba kung hindi ang pinagnanasaan ng lahat ng mga babae sa campus namin, Axel Ethan Garcia. He s just standing there, smiling and acting like he wad so innocent. I was amazed on how he looked. Kala mo nga santo eh!

"By the way, Mr. Santos. I would like you to meet my school's Student Council Officers."

Pagkasabi ni Mr. Florez nun ay agad akong nag-step forward, smiling at the other school's head. "A pleasant morning to you, Mr. Santos. I'm Alexa Beatrice Rodriguez and I'm the President of the Student Council of Lournette Academy. It's so nice to meet you."

"The pleasure is mine, Ms. Rodriguez." nakangiting bati niya, kissing the back of my hand.

"Daniel, I think you really have a very respectful lady over here!" he added, smiling at Mr. Florez.

Mr. Florez smiled. "I know, George. I know."
I smiled at them. Hindi naman mukhang close na yung dalawa noh? Because what's with the first name basis kung hindi pa sila close, diba? Mr. Santos then released my hand.

"Well then, Ms. Rodriguez. I would like you to meet, Raven Charles Ramirez." pagpapakilala niya sa lalaki na nasa likod niya.

The person who's known as Raven smiled at me. "It's my pleasure to meet such a wonderful lady such as yourself, Ms. Rodriguez."

I blushed when he kissed the back of my hand. Woah! I stared at his eyes... those dark perfect eyes. I would literally melt pag tinitigan niya ako... I kennat! Nang bitawan niya yung kamay ko, that's when I realized how tall he was. Hindi ba siya sumasali sa sports? His height would be perfect for sports!

Naputol yung pag-momonologue nang bigla akong tinapik ni Sophie. Tinignan ko siya at nakita kong nakataas yung kilay niya na parang nagtataka kasi natigilan ako pero I smiled at her to assure her.

After ng introductions, Mr. Florez and Mr. Santos went ahead para makapaglibot-libot na sa loob ng campus. Nang makalayo-layo na sila, nagulat ako nang biglang nagtilian yung mga babae sa likod namin.
