The Prominent 8

CHAPTER 1

Albert Rodger

ALBERT POV

I'm Albert Rodger, I have green eyes, it's very rare, lucky to have these pretty eyes. And I have a height if 1.80cm
Being here at Laedon University is great, I didn't even expect I'll be this famous.

While looking at the mirror I said these words,
"I should maintain ny handsomeness."
At may paayos pa ng necktie.

But going out of the bathroom is way difficult for me, pagguluhan na naman ako ng mga babae sa labas.

"But there's only one girl I like the most!" I said with confidence.
"But did she like me too?" I looked back at the mirror.

"It doesn't matter. I like her, di naman siguro kailangan na magustuhan ka rin niya." I pouted and raised my shoulders.

Paglabas ko sa CR..
"What? You're all waiting for me here?"
Sabi ko sa mga babae na nasa labas ng CR at nag-aantay sakin. This is crazy!

At classroom, palagi nalang ako ang tinatawag pag walang makasagot sa tanong ni Sir, ni Ma'am!

"Albert , you know what's the answer?"

"Albert would calculate this for us!"

"Albert? You know the answer?"

"Albert should be the leader!"

Albert here, Albert there. Nakakastress din, but it's also fun naman. And am also the President of the School Council. They call be Brainiac for being very intelligent, I didn't thought that on myself.

I love Lucid Dreams! Because I always wanna dream of my crush Diana! One time, I dreamed that I was married to her and it will be the best day that will ever happen in my life!

But everytime I woke up, I regret. Sounds crazy but sometimes in class, I can't concentrate because am busy thinking of her. But nobody knows about my crush except for me!

"Albert? Albert?"
Everyone's watching me in the classroom, while me being dizzy and keep on smiling.

"Albert?" my teacher asked again.
"Oh! Sorry Ma'am, what is it again?" I asked while smiling shamefacedly.
______________
Anyway, I want to be like her too, knows how to draw. I love her arts, I want to promote those but it will be a big issue in the school, and I should be careful on what I post on social media.

Sometimes, afterschool I sneak outside the arts room and watch Diana while painting. She makes my heart flutter every time I saw her!

My feet slipped and I accidentally opened the door at nakatago naman ako agad.

"Sino yan?"
And I heard her footsteps coming close to the door. And I have nothing else to do but to show up!

"Ohh, I-It's me.
"I slipped, and I hold on the door knob t-to keep me from f-falling." I uttered and I smiled on her.

"Next time, be careful." she pointed on me and she smiled back! That smile can kill me!
"Yes I will."
"Ba't ang pula mo?" she asked. And I checked my face like holding it.

"Am red?" I asked.
"Oo nga."
"Ah, so uuna nalang ako ah!"
"Okay, bye." she waved and she went back to paint.

But I was curious of her painting.
"May I see?"
"Sure!"

So pumasok na nga ako. Her painting was a girl running at the field, and being free.

"It has a message, right?" I asked her.
"Yes. Gusto ko kase magkaroon ng buhay na ganyan." she smiled while looking at her painting.
"Me too."
She looked at me when I said that.

I can't move, my heart beats fast!
"O-okay? Uuwi na ako!"
And I quickly headed outside, but I turn back on her and said,
"Your paintings are as beautiful as you!"
I smiled and waved goodbye.

She smiled too. This makes my day perfect!
