DREAM ACADEMY (COMPLETED)

Chapter 7: TAKING THINGS MORE SERIOUSLY

*2weeks after*

"I wonder if it's possible for people to fall in love with a person one characteristic at a time, or if you fall for the entire person at once."
— Colleen Hoover, Losing Hope

*beep beeeep*

Me: "ma alis na po ako. Nasa labas na po si joao."

Mama: "ingat kayo."

Lumabas na ko ng bahay at sumakay sa kotse ni joao.

J: "goodmorning."

I looked at him. Dang, when will i ever get used to joao's handsomeness? He look so good with his man bun. Kahit naka'uniform siya bagay parin tignan yung man bun. Gwapo siya kahit anong gawin niya. Pfft. Mas gusto ko pa yung dati eh. Yung hindi ako naapektuhan sakanya. HUHU

Me: nagsmile ako sakanya "goodmorning."

Naging ganito na routine namin everyday. Araw araw susunduin niya ko then ihahatid sa bahay. Minsan (actually, madalas) after class we'll go out with the tropa like, eat somewhere or sasamahan namin sila tumambay sa Lot77 while they're playing billiards tapos kami naman nila sarah and ken magchichismisan. Hehe. He'll call me once he gets home. Kausap ko siya habang kumakain, nanunuod, nagcocomputer.. hindi ko lang yata siya kausap pag nasa banyo ako. Madalas parin kami magasaran at mag pakapikunan. I think that's the one thing na hindi mawawala samin. He still calls me monster and i still call him stupid, gangster, hoodlum, mafia, king conz, king kong and whatever i want to call him.

And oh yeah! I discovered about the video tristan is talking about before the basket ball game. Nung nagaway si joao and raymond sa may parking lot, someone took a vid. Grabe, paparazzi everywhere eh! Tapos.. there's this scene na nasa sahig na si raymond and he asked joao kung ano ko ba siya. At first hindi narinig sa video kung ano sinabi niya. Pero inedit nila yung video tapos nirewind nila sa part ni joao naka'zoom in at naka focus sa face niya. Walang sound pero you can read his mouth saying "boyfriend niya". Binigyan pa ng subtitle para malinaw talaga kung anong sinabi niya. Oh diba, effort eh. So, yeah. The whole school thinks that i'm joao's girlfriend. The "New Girl" as they call me. But our real status is.. well.. we're getting to know each other better..

He parked then we got out of the car. He held out his hand and i took it. He smiled then he squeezed my hand. Every morning, routine nadin namin ang dumaan sa Costa to buy our favorite hot latte. Of course with a pinch of cinnamon! So after we ordered our coffee, we went straight to our classroom.. yes, still holding each other's hand.

Tristan: "wow! Ang sweet naman! HHWW pa kayo ha!"

Niel: "uy! Twinning pa sila ng coffee!"

Napatingin ako kay joao. Namula yung tenga niya tapos binitawan niya yung kamay ko then naglakad papunta sa seat niya.

J: "tumigil nga kayo. Lakas ng trip niyo."

See. Bipolar padin siya. Humarap siya kay russell at ford tapos nagusap sila tungkol dun sa wow legs pinay na finollow ni ford sa IG. (AN: Real story tho. Hahahaha labyu padin Ferdinand!)
