Princess Academy (SLOW UPDATE)

Lesson 4

Kierra’s POV

“S-Sino ka nga?” I asked again.

“Ako? I’m Leo.”  Ngumiti siya. Ang dimples niya! I feel like melting.

“Leo? Well then, I’m Kierra.” Linabas ko ang kamay ko para maghandshake. I’m sure I’ve seen him somewhere! “Taga-san ka? I don’t see you in Royalty High.”

“I’m home-schooled.” Sagot niya. No, sure akong nakita ko na siya.

“Have we met before?”  I eyed him suspiciously.

“H-Hindi.”  Hindi siya tumingin sa akin and he seemed nervous.

I shrugged, “Okay. Siguro, imagination ko lang yun.” He chuckled which was then followed by an awkward silence.

I decided to break the ice, “Laro tayo?”

“Ano ka? Bata?” He laughed and I pouted, “Sige na nga. What should we play?”  He surrendered.

“Hmm,” I acted like I was thinking and before he knew it, I pushed him of the swing and said, “Your it!” I ran farther away from him.

“Hoy! Unfair yun! Hindi mo ako sinabihan!” I heard him shout, I just stuck my tongue out at him.

Tumayo na siya at nagsimulang tumakbo papunta sa akin. Damn. He runs really fast! Binilisan ko pa ang pagtakbo.

“You can never catch me!”  I said to him.

And I spoke too soon.

“Ha! Taya!” Sabi niya sa akin habang tumatakbo palayo.

Naglaro lang kami dun hanggang sa napagod na kami at napagdesisyonan na umupo ulit sa swings.

Hingal na hingal kaming dalawa.

When we regained our breaths, I said, “Ang saya nun!”

He smiled at me and nodded. He was supposed to say something ng biglang mag-ring ang phone ko.

“Sandali lang ha?” Sabi ko and I answered the phone. Hindi na ako lumayo.

“Hello?”

[Kierra, asan ka?]

“Ma? Nandito po ako sa playground,”  Tinignan ko si Leo at ngumiti. He returned it.

[Ah, umuwi ka na. Malapit ng mag-alas-nuebe.]

“Opo, sige. Bye Ma.”

[Bye, Ki.] In-off ko na ang phone at tumingin kay Leo.

I was supposed to say something ng inunahan na niya ako, “Pinapauwi ka na noh?”

I nodded and smiled sadly, “Oo e. Sorry,”  He chuckled and messed my hair.

“Okay lang yan.”

“Sure ka?”

“Oo nga. Bukas na lang ulit tayo.”

“Talaga?” He nodded, “Yes!” I said and hugged him. Sorry nga naman, I’m a hugger.

At first he did’t moved tapos linagay niya yung isang arm niya sa waist ko at ang isa naman ay hinawakan ang likod ng ulo ko.

Yes, I was flush against him. I felt butterflies. Ang bango pa niya!

He let go, (much to my dismay) “Sige, uwi ka na. Uuwi na rin ako”

“Okay! Basta bukas ha? Same place, same time.” I reminded him.

“Oo na.” I smiled and he returned it tsaka ako tumalikod at nagsimulang maglakad pabalik sa bahay.

Lumingon ako and I waved goodbye to him. He waved back and started to walk to the opposite direction.

I smiled and walked again.

And just like that my feelings for Clyde have faded. 2 years of crushing on him gone because of a boy I met a few hours ago.

I think I have a crush on Leo.

I woke up pretty happy. I got up at pumunta na sa shower. Paglabas ko, I changed into ripped skinny jeans, silky purple shirt at yung neon pink converse. Sinuklay ko lang ang buhok ko and decided to let it down for today.

Bumaba na ako at nakita sila Mama’t Papa at si Gina na kumakain na.

“Good morning po,” sabi ko tsaka hinalikan s Mama at Papa sa pisngi. Umupo na ako sa tabi ni Gina at nagsimulang kumain.

*

Lunch na.

Naglalakad na ako patungo sa cafeteria. Nauna na si Angie doon kas sabi niya gutom na gutom raw siya. Hindi kasi siya nag-breakfast.

I passed by ROOM 2O8. Abandoned na siya na classroom kasi sira-sira na doon.

I heard voices. They sound like they’re in a heated argument. I decided to listen to them. Curiosity kills Kierra.

“Em, please. I love you. Hindi totoo ang video na yun!” Pamilyar sa akin ang boses na yun. And, ‘Em’? Baka siya yung babaeng tinutukoy ng 0923****** na yun? Pareho ang sinasabi e. Na mahal niya raw si ‘Em’ at pakinggang siya at hindi totoo ang nakita niya.

“Save it, Clyde Hernandez,” Napalaki ang mata ko. Clyde?? CLYDE HERNANDEZ?! Hindi, madaming Clyde Hernandez sa mundo, diba? Diba?? “I love you too pero hindi ko kailangan ang explanation mo. Alam ko kung anong nakita ko.”

I heard some shuffling from the inside. The door knob started to turn. Noon ko lang narealize na palabas na yung Em na yun. Dali-dali akong nagtago.

Paglabas nung Em na yun, nagulat ako kasi teacher namin yun! Teacher namin sa English! Si Ms. Emma Valdez. She’s 21 years old… Sandali.. Kaya pala ‘Em’ kasi Emma. But I thought Ms. Emma had a boyfriend already?

So that means Clyde – No. I refuse to believe that it is the Clyde Hernandez. Yup, I’m sure it’s not him. Psh.

Maya-maya lumabas na rin yung lalaki. And there, it was proven na that Clyde Hernandez was really the Clyde Hernandez.

Naglakad na siya sa opposite na direction. Halos lumuwa ang mata ko. No wonder nag-transfer siya sa Royalty High.

Clyde Hernandez has an affair with a teacher.
