The Dare In Paris (High School Series #1)

PROLOGUE

Deine Sierra PoV

This is a beautiful day. Walking through the aisle while holding a beautiful bouquet of flower is one of every girls dream isn't it?

I'm a college student now, isang taon nalang at ga-graduate na'ko bilang isang ganap na Engineer. I can't wait to finally prove to my father that I'm an independent woman. Na hindi ko kailangan ng suporta niya para makapagtapos ako.

Hindi sa lahat ng oras ay susundin ko siya because it's my profession that we're talking. That's why nahiwalay ako sa mga kaibigan ko. I went to my grandma in Pampanga and doon pa rin ako nakatira ngayon. Hindi ko matagalan si Dad sa iisang bubong, I can't dahil hanggang ngayon ay masama ang loob ko.

"Ayos ka lang? Baka ma-stroke ka bigla rito." Bright whispered near my ears. I looked at him and glare. "Ang gwapo nung nasa dulo oh."

"Paki ko? Bakit? Bet mo?"

"Selos ka agad, Babe?" He grin.

"Gago."

"Nasa simbahan ka oy, bibig mo Babe. Ki-kiss ko 'yan kita mo." I just rolled my eyes.

Being a college student is really hard. Maiiyak ka nalang minsan dahil sa dami ng requirements. Minsan halos wala kang tulog and napa-paranoid kana kapag wala kang ginagawa na tungkol sa pag aaral.

But here am I, attending a wedding of one of my high school friend that I met at the contest before. I smiled bitterly while walking slowly.

So totoo nga, it's him. He's a grown-up man now, but it's still him. Should I call him my second love? Of course he's the second because Bright is my first.

Kerby, my second love is standing at the end of the aisle with a slight grin on his face. I still can't believe that after so many years ay makikita ko ulit siya. Dapat ba'kong matuwa?

I remember him saying before that I will be his bride, back when we where in Paris. That was years ago pero natatandaan ko pa rin. It was our christmas break, we're both grade 9. Bakit ko ba inaalala 'yon? I should've forget that long ago.

Yes, we're still young that time. But matured enough to say those things. We're close on those times. He likes me and I like him, but he didn't know. I didn't tell him because I'm scared. Wala sa vocabulary ko ang word na commitment because I was busy doing my best para hindi ma-disappoint si Dad sa'kin.

Good old days. I wish I can bring them back. I wish I can bring back the time when I hurt him. I hurted him with the words that I didn't want to say para sana hindi ko siya nasaktan noon. Matagal na rin naman iyon, nakalimutan na niya sigurado, wala na rin naman akong paki-alam.

I don't know kung bakit ako biglang kinabahan when our eyes met. His eyes are cold that it sent me shiver down my spine. But why? Hindi naman siya ganon tumingin sa'kin dati. He changed, I could say that. Baka hindi lang talaga ako sanay sa mga ganong tingin niya.

But did I really hurted him that much na kung tignan niya 'ko ay parang hindi na niya 'ko kilala? A stranger with memories ba o nakalimutan na niya talaga ako?

I felt guilty again for leaving him.

"I'm sorry." I whispered that while looking at him but he already shifted his gaze. Okay fine, I guess he really can't remember me.

The last time we talk, it was my birthday. I let go of him on my 17th birthday. Isang taon nalang ang hihintayin niya at pwede na'kong mag boyfriend. But I ended it. I pushed him away even though I'm inlove with him.

Kerby Edison Cañaveras, a kind, sweet, and a boyfriend material that I met when I was in high school. Our relationship started with a dare, and unfortunately, it also ended up with a dare. A dare in Paris.
