Ace Of The Beauty (El Vicente Series #3) COMPLETED

Kabanata 2

I started writing love letters. It was cringe as fuck but do I have a choice? Shae said that its a way for him to atleast notice me. Atleast kahit kaunti. I wrote some stupid shits on the paper. Hindi ko pinag-isipan masyado basta nagsulat lang ako. Kung mabasa niya ito'y talagang ikakahiya ko ang sarili ko lalo na't sinulat ko ng pagkalaki laki ang pangalan ko.

Shae laughed hard when she read it. Nainis naman ako kaagad doon. I wrote it with my own hands! Mali ba spelling ng pangalan niya o kaya naman ng grammar ko?

"What?" iritado kong sabi at sinubukang agawin ang papel ko sa kaniya.

"Ano ba namang sulat 'to!" tumawa siya. "Baka sabihin niyang hindi sincere ang letter kasi ang pangit ng sulat mo."

I frowned.

"Stop bullying my handwriting!"

"I'm not!" she rolled her eyes. "I'm just saying what I see. I doubt that he will understand this, Gianna. Ayusin mo naman kasi! Pinapahiya mo ang team natin dito, e."

I snatched the paper on her hand and pulled out something from my bag. A coupon bond. I placed it on her table in a annoyed manner. Padabog kong nilapag ang G-tech ballpen ko galing sa lamesa ko.

"E'di ikaw magsulat."

"Bakit ako?!" turo niya sa sarili.

"Come on, Shae. Bilisan mo na lang at ilalagay na natin ito mamaya.."

"Grabe naman kasi," kinamot niya ang batok. "Ganda lang talaga ambag mo, ano?"

Wala siyang nagawa kundi isulat muli iyon. Her handwriting was pretty that's why I adore it so much. Unang beses ko iyong magsulat ng letter para kay Rashid. Girls who likes him always do this. At first, I didn't like the idea because I don't wanna be those girls who are really crazy over him. Pero sabi ni Shae, may pag-asa naman raw na namamansin siya kaya wala akong nagawa.

I swiftly inserted the thin paper on his locker. I smiled and immediately turned my back to run but I stopped.

"Ano 'yan?" malamig na tanong ni Rashid habang nakatingin sa akin.

My eyes widened. Fudge! I didn't prepare for this! Sumulyap ako sa gilid. I saw Shae overreacting on the side. She was gesturing me to run away but of course, I won't do that.

Hilaw akong ngumiti. "If you don't mind, I wrote you a letter."

Tumaas ang kilay niya at inilusot ang susi doon. I bit my lips and looked at Shae. Sapo sapo ang noo niya at umiiling sa akin. I gestured her to go out since I need an alone time with him! But she didn't even obey me.

Binuksan niya ang locker. Sinilip ko iyon. Kita ko ang iilang papel sa loob at mga libro. Kinuha niya ang nakapatong sa lahat. Oh, its my letter! I smiled.

Itinaas niya sa mukha ko at walang emosyon na tinignan ako. Napawi ang ngiti ko sa paraan ng paghawak niya. He even look so disgusted!

"You think I'll read this?"

Kumurap kurap ako. "Bakit hindi? I spent my time writing that-"

"Did I ask you to do this? Iuwi mo na 'yan," hinulog niya sa harapan ko iyon. "Dumi lang.."

I was broken hearted that time. It was my first time to write a letter and I never expected that he'd actually reject and even throw my letter away.

Tatlong linggo akong naiinis dahil doon. I had two boyfriends in that three weeks. Walang nagtagal dahil narealize ko, kahit anong subok ko, panay pa din ang sulyap ko sa kaniya kapag dumadaan. It always reminds me of the latter. That was a fail, I said. So I decided to do something better this time.
