The Prominent 8

CHAPTER 5

Paul, Jonathan, and Mark

Paul Gomez

PAUL'S POV

I'm 18 years old and I have a height of 1.79cm. I always wear glasses, anytime at anywhere. And am called nerd because I bring books everytime.

Books are life! I can't live without books.

"Hey Paul?"
"Yes?"
"I dare you not to read a book for one day!"
"I can't to that."
"Like how important are books to you?"
"It's none of your business!"

Why are they telling me what to do?

I can't take care of myself anymore because am always focusing on the book. I can tell am obssessed with books.

It has a high advantage for me, I can always answer in class!

But am also a loser at class. They always call me "the ugliest" is it because am nerd? Or my eyes are nearly covered with my hair? Or am just really ugly.

But books helped me escape the reality.
I don't need to listen to them, I just wanna be me, this is what I like and this is how I live.

Jonathan Deño

Jonathan Deño, the most quiet person in the school. He has a height of 1.75cm and they call him the hoody guy.
He loves wearing jackets with hood, he likes to hide himself, he doesn't even knoa how to socialize with people. He's not friendly.

At group activities, his team will always win. He doesn't even speak to his group mates or utter a word, but he just write it on paper and submit to them.

He doesn't have a friend, but he's loved. Why? It's because he's very intelligent and when it comes to decision making, he's really good at it.

And by the way, he's the Secretary of the School Council, and he only talks when it is him who has given an authority to announce or to speak his plans for the school.

"You see, that's Jonathan."
"He's very quiet.."
"He's words have limits right?"
"Maybe? Just 20 words?"

He's parents said, he always stays in his room for 24 hrs when there's no class.
But this is not really the Jonathan they knew before, they said.

Mark Francisco

Mark Francisco is a musical virtuoso. Many are amazed of how he performs. He also know how to compose. When there are programs, he's always the one who is assigned for playing the instrument.

Many asked what's with his hands, is it magical, or is it possessed?
Well, skip to that. He's also a heart throb, many girls came to the music room just to see him playing.

MARK'S POV

I'm Mark, I have a height of 1.78 cm. Music is the way for me to release the stress, to escape the reality, and to express my special emotions.

I have composed many songs for the girl I liked, about 5 songs, but until now she didn't knew it *laughs*

I like her, she's strong and brave.
But I don't think so I have a chance on her.
She's Lowanne Pideta. She's been my crush for 2 years and I made her as my inspiration.

Having a chance on her, that doesn't matter, I just wanna be friends with her.
