Dollar Strings (ON HOLD)

CHAPTER 1 One Month Before (Dash and Prince + Kio)

[DASH'S POV] 

"LOOK!!!!!! IT'S DASH!!! ANG GANDA NYA TALAGA!!!!" 

"I ENVY HER!" 

"She is so lucky and talented!!! Plus her looks and the way she dress!!! She's so gorgeous!!" 

" I wish i can be like her!! Awww." 

Hay, here we go again, everyday, ganyan lagi yung sinasabi nila. Di ba sila nagsasawa? I mean, tao lang din naman ako, we are entering the same school. nagbabayad ng parehong tuition, kumakain sa iisang cafeteria, so di ko maintindihan kung bakit ganito yung attention na binibigay nila sa akin. Well, can't blame them, because of my status, I guess? 

My name is Dash Hudgen, 15 years old, I'm currently studying at Brandenburg Academy, it's an exclusive school, yung mga may kaya lang talaga yung nakakapasok dito. Every classroom has a total of at least 10 to 20 students. Yeah, ang konti namin, pero ok na rin yun, because they are giving me so much attention, what if kung marami pa kami sa classroom?

*Sigh*

And yes, I'm one of those other students here that they're giving so much attention, in short, may iba pa silang pinagkakaguluhan dito maliban saakin. Kaibigan ko rin sila.

Prince Schmidt and Kio Murphy. I met them when I'm on my first year here in Brandenburg. Now, we were juniors, and malapit na ang JS Prom. Dito kasi sa Brandenburg, isa ito sa mga inaabangang event every year. May tradition kasi dito, well, may tinatawag silang "Game of Love". Hmm, wala akong idea kung ano talaga yung game na yun, mga former juniors and seniors lang ang nakakaalam. Weird ba? Nasanay na kasi ako sa school na to so para sa akin, I mean sa amin, normal na lang yung mga ganung event.

Ok, back to our business, I was on my way to my locker nung nakita ko sina Prince and Kio. I smiled at them and they smiled at me in return.

"Early as always. Good morning Dash."

"Hoy Dash! grabe ah! Aren't you sick hearing them say those compliments to you? Ako kasi sawa na."

"Ano ka ba Kio, well nung una I'm a lil' bit irritated, pero nasanay na din ako. Hinahayaan ko na lang sila."

"That's my girl. So, tara na? Ihahatid na kita sa classroom."

"Ang aga aga, naglalambingan agad kayo dyan, maawa naman kayo sakin, nagmumukha tuloy akong chaperone sa inyo eh."

"Di mo pa kasi sagutin yung isa sa mga manliligaw mo. Gwapo naman sila, mayaman, at mukhang mabait, why don't you give it a try, malay mo may magwork out."

"Hahaha, Dash, alam mo naman yung reason diba? And besides mas enjoy kaya maging single, WALANG SAKIT SA ULO, diba Prince?"

Hay, mukhang mag aaway nanaman yung dalawa. Di naman sa magka away sila, ganun lang talaga ang batian nila. Sanayan lang naman eh. Pero close talaga sila, di lang halata.

"Sino kaya ang sakit sa ulo sa ating dalawa? You're such a naughty kid, always making troubles that you can't handle tapos kaming dalawa ni Dash ang mamomroblema, so who do you think is the one? Ako o ikaw?"

"Che!! Manahimik ka!! Ang pangit mo talaga!!"

"Hoy! Di ako pangit!! Ikaw makulit at maingay na babae!!"

"Tumigil na nga kayo, naturingan kayong student council officers' pero ang iingay nyo, nasa hallway pa naman tayo, you're not a good example you know."
