Fermin Series #1: Breaking Hearts (COMPLETE)

Gideon Gareth Legaspi

"Congrats, bro!"

"Congrats, Gideon!"

"Iba ka, bro! Congrats."

I just laughed at their comments and said my thank yous to their greetings. Napatingin ulit ako sa bulletin board tapos ay sa babaeng halos pumutok na ang mukha sa sobrang pula. I smirked when she walked out.

Napailing ako. Airenia Aelien Fermin. Hanggang kailan mo ba ako ituturing na kompetensiya? Why do you even treat me as a competitor?

She's blunt and fiesty. She hates me, and she says it outloud. I remember one time when we had a group competition in one of our First Year subject. Noong nalaman niyang ako ang leader ng oppossing team, nag-volunteer siyang maging leader ng kabila just to prove something. Natawa na lang ako sa kanya. My team won, of course, kaya whole day niya akong inirapan. 

We never talked, well at least in my definition of talk. Casual lang siyang nagtatanong at sumasagot. Hindi ko alam kung wala ba siyang pakiramdam o wala lang siyang paki sa akin. I guess it's both. 

"Tss. Tinitingnan mo na naman si Miss Competitive," Rerra said. Hindi ko siya pinansin at sinundan lang ng tingin si Airenia. 

Gusto ko sana siyang sundan kaso na-corner na ako nina Carol. 

Sa three years naming magka-blockmate, never ko pa siyang nakausap nang usap talaga. Tss. Bakit ang ilap mo, Miss Competitive?

"Hey, Sky!" I called my sister one afternoon when we were having our siesta.

Kunot noong lumapit siya sa akin habang may dalang ice cream.

"Ano, kuya?" Nagkibit-balikat ako.

"Can you give me Nia's number?" I asked. Mas lalong kumunot ang noo ni Sky.

"What? You want her to kill me?" she shut back like it was the most horrible crime she'd ever do. The fuck.

"Ang OA mo. Nanghihingi akong number ni Airenia."

"Exactly! You know how she hates you so much! Ayokong masabunutan ni Nia, no!" At nag-walk out ang magaling kong kapatid. 

"Hey, I'm still your older brother!" pahabol ko pero hindi ako pinansin. 

Hindi makapaniwalang nailing ako. Tsk. The influence of that girl!

"Why ask it from a third party if you can ask her directly? You're a fucking coward, bro." Agad kong sinamaan ng tingin si Drago. 

"Fuck you." I raised my middle finger on him. He just laughed. Gago talaga. 

Simula first year, ginawa ko na yatang mission ang pakikipag-usap kay Airenia. She just doesn't really like me cause everytime I'd try, she always shut me up. Damn. Halos ginawa ko na lahat ng moves pero mukha naman siyang walang paki at walang kamalay malay. I even asked my asshole brother - Drago- for his freaking moves. Mas lalo tuloy akong di pinansin. 

Basically my third year ended with her glaring at me during our recognition day. Mas malaki kasi average ko sa kanya kaya beastmode na siya sa akin. 

"Teka, sure ka na ba talagang hindi ka tatakbo sa student council? Sayang naman, Gideon." Tango lang ang isinagot ko kay Carol.

It's the final day for filing of candidacy for Student Council election and they have been bugging me about running for president again. Well, I have better plans so I chose not to. First, I have commitments with the school fraternity already. Second, this is my first step to Airenia's life.
