When The Heart Fails (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1 | BEGINNING 

"Ang hirap naman ng quiz," I whispered to my friend, Mitch after we were being dismissed.

"Sobrang hirap talaga. Akalain mo 70 items tapos hindi naman dinis-cuss ang kalahati doon," sagot niya sakin habang nagsisimulang magligpit ng mga gamit.

It's been already 3 weeks since the first day of classes started. I thought that we can already escape how hard being a senior high student last year, but the truth is, being a Grade 12 student is the worst!

I am really expecting some plot twist for this year. I'm bored with this kind of life.

We were already going out from the classroom when suddenly we saw Nathalie approaching us while holding a clean folder. She's having an interview again.

"Oy, uuwi na kayo?" tanong ni Nat pagkatapos niya kaming lapitan.

"Yes. Bakit? Interview na naman?" tanong ni Mitch sa kanya habang nakatingin sa folder.

"Oo, pero hindi naman sainyo. Nakakasawa na kayo, char. Anyways, nasa loob pa ba yung kaklase ninyong si Therese?" tanong ni Nat kaya nagkatinginan kami ni Mitch bago sumagot.

"Sino 'yon?" sabay naming tanong kay Nat kaya agad siyang napatawa.

"Baliw, hindi niyo pa rin ba kilala ang mga kaklase niyo?" patawang sambit ni Nat kaya napatawa rin kami.

"Aba ewan, transferee kasi eh. Alam mo namang wala akong pake sa mga ganyan," sagot ko sa kanila.

"Oh sige na, umuwi na kayo. Bye!" pagkatapos ay iniwan na kami ni Nat at tumakbo papasok sa aming classroom.

Naglakad kami ni Mitch papunta sa gate at kahit hindi pa kami tuluyang nakalapit ay tanaw na namin si Clark na nakatayo sa labas.

"Galit ka ba?" biglaang tanong ni Clark kay Mitch pagkalabas namin ng campus.

"Huh? Hindi, bakit?" naguguluhang tanong ni Mitch kaya tumawa si Clark.

"Palagi kasing ganyan mukha mo," tawa ni Clark kaya hinampas siya ni Mitch sa balikat.

Mitch has a resting bitch face that's why some people are being intimidated by her vibe. Well, yeah she has a very bad and scary side sometimes. She'll definitely become a jealous monster especially when a girl will try to flirt with her long-time crush.

Sabay kaming naglalakad nila Clark at Mitch papunta sa highway kung saan makakasakay pauwi. Medyo distansya pa kasi ang paaralan namin kaya kailangang lakarin muna bago makasakay.

"Wala kayong practice ngayon?" I asked Clark.

"Of course, hindi naman kailangang araw-araw ang practice namin. Besides, I'm a newbie kaya no pressure muna," sagot ni Clark sakin kaya tumango nalang ako.
