Chapter 2

Falling in love is only a great feeling when the one you fall in to take the same fall. It takes two people to fall in love but what do you call those who get to fall in love without reciprocation? They may be seen as foolish by many, but for them, loving someone despite the heartache and helplessness is not a choice. After all, love often begins before we have a chance to control it.

I’ve been gloomy all day thinking about my feelings for him, but whenever I look at my bitch of a friend my worries turn into irritation because she would always roll her eyes and give me a look as if saying 'sobrang tanga ko'.

“Isang irap mo pa, tutusukin ko yang mga mata mo.” Banta ko sa kanya, umirap na naman kasi.

We are on our way to our school’s parking lot, and as expected some students are looking at us thinking like we're an odd match walking side by side, though some also gave us a weird look but eventually dismissed the thought that we may be friends. They probably assumed that we just happened to be together.

Why? I was branded as the Miss Prim and Proper while Yshtar is the Queen B, what a sight to see, right?

“ I can’t help it, bakit ba ayaw mo umamin? Just tell him you love him and if he refuse to reciprocate your feelings then it's his loss.” Inis niyang sabi.

I understand where she’s coming from, gusto niya kong umamin para malaman ko kung may mapapala ang pag asa ko, at kung wala naman, ay mas mabuti nang tumigil na lang.

Hindi ko na siya pinansin pa, she was still lecturing me about this and that when I saw Ice with some of his guy friends, their group was so loud that most of the students glimpse at them. Lalagpasan ko na lang sana sila dahil ayokong makaistorbo pero nakita ako ng isang kaibigan niya. I think it’s Akatsuki? Weird name.

Kinalabit niya si Ice at sinenyasan ako, nakakunot noo namang bumaling si Ice sa kung saan kami ni Yshtar. He then smiled when his eyes landed on me but later on bumaling siya sa katabi ko at tiningnan si Yshtar. He look puzzled as he gaze the both of us.

Hindi naman kasi nila alam na kaibigan ko itong si Yshtar, it’s our first time to be seen walking together in public. Sabi kasi ni Yshtar, that it’s not good for her to be seen with me kasi baka masira daw ang reputasyon niya.

Talk  about her and her lame excuses, alam ko naman na ako ang inaalala niya.

Her reputation in this school is not really good, she was called as a slut, whore, and a bitch , well I kind of agree on the last one, and half of the girls population hated her.

On the other hand, my reputation was never tarnish, kaya ayaw na ayaw niyang makita kaming magkasama kasi baka masira din yung reputasyon ko dahil sa kanya.

Wala naman talaga akong pake kung anong sasabihin nila, but Yshtar as hard-headed as she is ayaw akong pakinggan.

Kunot-noong nakatingin na sa akin si Ice, then the other guy friend of his, whispered something to him, and then he just nodded and walk towards where I am.

“Mukhang concern yang Yelo mo sayo dahil ako ang kasama mo.” Ishtar  said. Kunot noo ko siyang binalingan and she just smirk.

“Wipe that smirk off your face, you look like an evil bitch.” I said and roll my eyes after. She evilly laughed and flipped her hair.

“That’s me.” She proudly said. Ugh! She’s hopeless.

We  were interrupted by a clearing of throat that’s when I realized nasa harapan na pala namin si Ice, he was looking at us as if examining what kind of relationship we both have.
