So this is LOVE! (ONGOING)

STIL5: Record Breaker

     Hindi CHICO ang pangalan niya.

     Base sa tawa ng mga katabi ng lalake noong nagngangalang Chico at sa paraan ng pag-ulit nila sa tinagurian niyang pangalan ng binata muhkang nagkamali siya.

     Pati si Chico napapikit pagkatapos niyang sabihin ang pangalan nito. Napahawak ito sandali sa pagitan ng mga mata nito na animo pinapalis nito ang biglaang pananakit ng ulo.

     What was his name again?

     Vida suddenly remembered that he had his name printed on the umbrella’s strap but it was already too late.

     His hands already reached out for his umbrella, his palms enveloping the part where his name was… completely hindering her from cheating her way to what his name was.

     He silenced his friends with a simple sideway glance before looking at her again. He never corrected her and just went with it.

      “Salamat.” Sabi nito kasabay noon ang isang mahinang ngiti mula dito.

     Sa hindi malamang kadahilanan na-guilty siya ng wala sa oras. Lalong nadagdagan iyon ng mapansin ng adviser nila sa ika-apat nilang klase noong umagang iyon na parang masama ang pakiramdam ni Chico. He told him to go to the infirmary and up until now he never came back.

     Apparently the guy that she called Chico by mistake was in fact named Chronos, a star in their school.

     And it was her first time to realize it.

     It just took half a day that people started talking about him… particularly the female population.

     Mula umpisa hangang dulo ng hallway ng paaralan nila puro pangalan nito ang naririnig niya.

     Parang headline sa balita na may sakit ito.

     So this was the type of guy that he was, Vida thought.

     Chronos was the type of guy that blasted enough star mega-wattage to light up the entire female population. She also learned that he was the Captain of their school’s varsity team and to top it all he was Mr. Congeniality. Everyone in the campus was friends with him… except her…

     If there’s anything that she did know, it was simply this, he was the kind she avoided at all cost.

     Besides the fact that she’s the anti-social type there was one more thing that she hated about people like him at school. Sila ‘yung mga tipong puro paganda at pagwapo lang ang alam. Pumapasok hindi para mag-aral. The energy they had were geared towards nonsensical stuff. She had no time for trivial things that’s why she wanted to avoided the likes of him.
