The Art Of Love

Chapter 1

Binagsak ko ang ulo ko sa desk sa sobrang antok. Si Mr. Hidalgo nanaman ang nagtuturo kaya inaantok nanaman ako.

Kinalabit ako ni Lilliane kasi baka mahuli nanaman ako at ma dedetention na ako.

"Ada! Ilang beses kanang nahuling natutulog, umayos ka!" bulong nya sakin kaya pinilit kong makinig kahit wala akong maintindihan sa pinagsasasabi nya.

Natapos ang klase nang wala akong naintindihan. Probably mangongopya nalang ako ng assignment.

"Ada mag cocollege na tayo next year hanggang ngayon antukin ka parin." Pangaral ni Lilliane.

"Kain tayo." I just said and walked towards the gate of our school. I tapped my ID and went to a fastfood chain.

"Lilliane have you heard about the recent cosmetics na nirelease ni—

"Nope. And I'm not planning to. Look, Cassandra. May kalandian ako ngayon, and do you really think I have time to—

"Fine. Sasagot lang ng oo o hindi andami mo pang sinabi." I rolled my eyes. Lilliane is smart, good looking but a spoiled brat.

"By the way, you sure about the course you're taking? You should be very careful in choosing one, Ada." She said.

I looked at her. She sighed when she realized.

"Ohh fine. Tito wins. Be careful, Ada ah. Mahirap 'don but you have to." I nodded.

"Why do they always win? I mean bakit sa lahat ng oras kailangan sila ang masunod?" I asked. This is a helpless case for me.

I don't want to take legal management. I want to take architecture or arts and design. I want to use my hand, to enhance my skills, not this. It is not for me.

"Do you want me to talk to them?" She sincerely asked. Umiling kaagad ako.

"It's fine, Lill. I can manage. I should." I smiled bitterly.

Pagkatapos naming kumain, humiwalay na ako kay Lilliane para pumunta sa The Pit, isang kilalang kainan at tambayan.

Pero kaya pinupuntahan 'to dahil sa bilyaran. Maraming highschool and college students and pumupunta rito including me.

I don't play billiards but my friends do.

"Oh Cassie buti naman at dumating ka! You know what drink this!" Inabutan nya kaagad ako ng shot glass and I immediately refused.

"Jennie you know she doesn't drink."  A man showed up.

"K fine Trev. Whatever!" She said and walked away. Napatawa nalang kami.

"Kamusta ka?" He asked while pouring an Iced tea.

"Uhmm I'm fine. Good thing patapos na school year, wala naman nang masyadong ginagawa pero here's Mr. Hildalgo, naglelesson parin." I groaned in frustration.

"Don't be too stressed. Papasa ka parin naman." He assured me. Inabot nya sakin yung baso ng Ice tea.

"Oh thank you. Teka asan nga pala si Alisha?"

Kinuha nya yung phone nya and dialed Alisha's number.

"Nasa Practice parin daw." He said.

"You know what Trev, let's get out of here. Samahan mo ko." I grabbed his uniform and ran away.

"Teka san ba tayo pupunta?" Naguguluhang tanong nya.

"I'm planning to join a contest." I smiled at him.

"H-ha? Contest? Saan naman yan Cassandra?" He looked so confused.

"Actually the contest is tomorrow, need to fill up a form para sa registration ngayon sa Alcantara Mall. Dun na yung pinakamalapit. Samahan mo na ako please?" I made a cute face para naman samahan nya ako.
