Firefly In The Darkness (ON-GOING)

Chapter 1

"Zhiriel!Zhiriel!" I was passing by the wide soccer field of our academy when I heard girls giggling and marching towards Zhiriel. Many girls love and adore him because of his looks.

Totoo namang gwapo sya maamong mukha, magandang pares ng bughaw na mata itim na itim na buhok na lalong nagpatingkad sa mistisong balat nya. His presence screams authority and power. Kaya siguro madaming natatakot sakanya. He is one of the famous people here in our academy. The Academia De Las Encinas.

Upon entering this prestigious school many people here are daughter's or son's of a politician,businessmans,lawyers, or any elite families. May mga iba den na swerteng nakakakuha ng scholarship but the school doesn't announce kung sino ang mga scholar every year para maiwasan ang discrimination at bullying pero di nila alam marami pa ding estudyante ang nambubully. How pathetic.

Sa patuloy kong paglalakad nalagpasan ko na din ang mga nagtitiliang babae. Why did they even need to shout? It's just Zhiriel not that I'm a hater or what tao lang din naman sya kagaya namin ang kinalamang nya lang is he got the looks. He is also a part of the Elite 5 our school band.

Agad akong napabilis ng paglalakad ng marinig ang bell. This year might be a happy year for me. In my junior years of staying here in this academy no one wants to be friend or just near me. Maybe because I don't have the looks and all. I hope my last senior year is different from the previous one.

Finally I reached my designated room. The moment I step inside many eyes are on me. I suddenly felt the uneasiness parang may mangyayaring hindi maganda this year parang may aura na di sya magiging masayang year but I just shrugged it off. Nevermind. Dahil wala pa ang homeroom teacher dire-diretso akong pumasok at umupo sa pinakasulok katabi ng bintana ang nasa kabila ay bakanteng silya na inalisan ng nakaupo don dahil napansin nya sigurong sa tabi nya ako uupo. Obviously ayaw nya akong katabi.

Bakit ba walang gustong makipagkaibigan saken? Ganun ba ako kapangit? Di rin naman ako masungit ah? Does my aura really that bad? Or my features? Or is there a sign in my forehead saying don't be friends with me? I just sighed in frustration. Ano bang mali saken? I tried to be friendly I even approach them first but they quickly get away from me leaving me alone and dumbfounded.

Instead of pitying myself I just busied myself reading our textbook para if ever magrecit I'm ready pero lumipas na ang dalawang oras ay wala pa din ang teacher namin. Diba dadating ang homeroom teacher? Kanina pa kami nagaantay dito yung iba umalis na at pumunta na lang sa cafeteria or tumambay sa soccer fields habang ang iba nagkukwentuhan at ako andito sa sulok nakasilip sa bintana. The beautiful trees along the lane of wisdom is swaying because of the wind. Some leaves is falling too. It's just like a beautiful scenery to see. There are also some people under the trees talking and laughing to each other. They seems happy to each others accompany. Nakakainggit. I wish to experience  that feeling.

Ang saya siguro if magkaroon ka ng kaibigan na masasabihan mo ng lahat ng nararamdaman mo. Makakakwentuhan mo at mapagkakatiwalaan mo sa lahat ng bagay. It's just so sad to think na never ko yung naramdaman at kahit kailan sa tingin ko hindi ko yun mararamdaman. Maybe being alone is my destiny.

The day ends without the teachers coming in our room. Kahit isa! wala! Naglalakad na ako ngayon palabas ng building ng senior high school. I still have one hour before the class really ends kaya tumayo ako at I decided to roam around our campus. Pumunta ako sa likod ng building namin because I was curious I heard some people talking about that if you go there you'll see or do something you'll regret or treasure. I don't understand what they mean but my curiosity is killing me. As I walked by I heard some faint noises kaya biglang tumaas ang balahibo ko.
