Red String of Fate (Colours of Love #1)

"Thea, are you sure you won't come?" Kanina pa talaga ako pinipilit nitong si Henley para kumain after class. She's been asking me the same question!

"No. May meeting na ako sa council after. That was prior your plan. Huwag ka nang mangulit d'yan, gaga ka." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Hayaan mo na kasi, Henley. She chose to join the council so she needs to endure the consequences!" Reese laughed like she's telling me that joining the council was a bad choice. "Oh, you never decided to join pala. You were blackmailed!" She continued to laugh louder.

"Don't worry, sismars, if I were in your situation din naman, I would accept the offer. Syempre, grades na ang usapan." Ellie tapped my shoulder. "Pero buti nalang hindi ako ikaw." She chuckled.

Napaka-annoying ng mga taong 'to! I still wonder why I became friends with these people. Duh. But everything they said were true. It was not in my plan to join the council, again. I mean, in my 10th grade, out of curiosity, I wholeheartedly joined but after experiencing all the work, I promised myself I won't na. But last year, my teachers had my name on the list! Without my consent!

And now, heto na ako. Preparing for my first meeting. Naiinggit na ako sa kanila kasi for sure gagala at kakain sila. Hay.

"Wow! Thank you for you heartfelt concern, girls!" I sarcastically told them. "Ramdam na ramdam ko oh. Paiyak na nga ako eh!"

They just laughed at me. 

"You know naman this is never included in my plan for senior year! We'll have thesis so nababaliw na ako kung paano ko gagawin iyon pati ang council." As of the moment, wala akong plano. Hindi ito ang inasahan ko.

After that, I went straight to the council and had the meeting. We were preparing for our first event which will be in August. I still have more than a month but I don't wanna cram. Maganda nang hindi pressured sa pag-iisip ng kung anu-ano para sa event.

The next day, it was a regular day. I attended my classes. Kaklase ko iyong tatlong demonyo. Nasa STEM kami. Reese and I are planning to take Civil Engineering. Ellie and Henley are both planning to take medical programs.

"Okay, for the whole year, hindi na tayo magpapalit ng grupo. Whatever is your group, that will be permanent. Valid 'til next sem. Kung kakayanin niyo mang umabot doon." Our research teacher told us that like she's threatening us. Well, she's a threat to me. She already arranged the groups so I'm just waiting for my name to be called.

Ellie and Henley were not in the same group. Ayon, kitang kita mo ang inis sa mga pagmumukha nila pero hindi makapagreklamo. Well-deserved, mga gaga!

"The next group would be those who are planning to take Engineering, particularly, Civil. Ms. Dela Cuesta will lead." Okay, more and more responsibilities tayo ano? Wow pabibo kasi ako. Sinunod na rin ni Ma'am ang mga kagrupo ko.

"Cruz, Reese Therysa. 

Santos, Vince

Perez, Joana

and Garcia, Matthew Aiden."

Good thing I had Reese with me. Bumelat pa siya doon sa dalawa para mang-asar. Okay, I think, kaya naman. Mukha namang responsable silang lahat. Well, I am not familiar with Garcia. Kaklase ko na siya since last year but we don't talk. I mean, wala rin naman kaming pag-uusapan kaya ganoon.

"By this afternoon, I expect three proposed title for your thesis. Base on your works last year. Just give it in my office. Dismissed." She picked up her things and left the room. Kami naman ay nagstay pa roon para mag-isip ng title.
