Eat an Apple Everyday to Keep the Doctor Away

Chapter One

We meet again

This day is so tiring, and I feel my stomach is growling so I ask my friend to accompany me to the cafeteria to buy some foods. "Alam mo Alisha, sana talaga nag tourism student nalang tayo, nakakapagod ang medicine at take note nasa pre-med palang tayo."

My friend Suncha is bubbling those words while where walking towards to our school's cafeteria, "Suncha I told you already na wag mong kunin ang course na hindi mo naman gusto at talaga mag sisi ka sa huli."

I been repremanding her since the first day of college na wag pumili ng course na hindi mo gusto at ang palagi niyang sagot, "Ayaw kong mahiwalay sayo."

Suncha is my best friend but I don't actually vocal about that 'best friend' thingy.

"Whatever. Let's just buy some foods. I'm starving." Habang na sa linya kami may naririnig akong mga bulongan at mga kinikilig na students.

'What's going on?'

"Bess anong meron?" Suncha is whispering behind my back, "That's the same question I been thinking and to answer yours. I don't know."

Students are still murmuring about that someone who's very handsome. "Alam mo bang may hinala akong meron bagong student," puno ng kompyansa niyang sabi, "I don't care," kibit balikat kong sagot sa kanya habang kumakain.

Lakad ng lakad lang kami ni Suncha wala kaming pasok mga three hours dahil sa maraming dahilan ng mga prof namin. "Punta kaya tayo ng mall?" Suncha ask me like I'm going to approved it, "no way I don't wanna be late to our next class, and if you didn't notice, manila has the worst traffic ever."

She's just shurg and start playing with her phone while I'm looking at the cage full of butterflys, this is my favorite place her in school cause it's less crowded and it's relaxing.

I pity butterflys cause they can't see their beautiful wings. Well yun ang alam ko about butterfly, but I wonder if they could see them self when they are in front of the mirror?

"Bess ang ingay sa GC usap usap yung gwapong student," Suncha is giggling and typing something on her phone.

Now days people often to use phone and some of them can't leave without them, and I'm one of them. I open my phone and less than a seconds my phone is beeping likes theirs no tommorow.

I saw the GC and a notif says that I have unread 254 messages and I was shock about that. While I scroll in the group chat last minute chats i find out that thier only one topic in it, it's the newbie.

I can't believe my classmate can make a conversation like that but I didn't join them about seeking and getting an info about the newbie.

What's with the newbie and everyone is bubbling about him. "Bess ang sabi sa group chat natin gwapo daw yong transfery," Suncha giggle while typing on her phone. Like I care if he's super handsome.

While we walk towards to our classroom iniisip ko parin kong sino parin yong bagong student na iyon at lahat ng student ay interested sa kanya, is he a prince?

When we enter our classroom all of our classmates seem excited about something but I just shrug and sit in my chair and wait for our professor.

"Good afternoon," our professor great us and stand in front, "So siguro alam ninyo na meron bagong student sa University," so it's true. But what makes that student special and everyone is talking about him.

"He's an exchange student from a very well known school in America and I hope you'll be nice to him at welcome him in a good way."

"Nako prof, oo naman po at welcome na welcome na si pogi dito." One of our classmate seems very fond of the new commer, "Hahaha mukang nakita mo na siya at ganyan ka ka-excited."

"Nako opo prof nakita ko siya kanina sa office no'ng na padaan ako. Ay hindi pala na pa daan, si nandya ko siya, hehe, na curious po ako kasi kong sino siya," she giggle and blushed about what she just he confess, ugh.

Our professor just luagh about my blockmate's embarrassing confession, and finally, like eternity of waiting nag simula rin ang klase.

While our prof is discussing about the human body. Suncha seems not listening in our class. She stealthily using her phone. Hope our professor won't caught her or else, she's dead.

Someone knock on the door while our professor is still discussing, "Come in." The door open and man who's very tall and handsome enter, I couldn't see his face kasi nakatalikod siya.

My classmate's starting to talk quitely and some of them is giggling, "am hello, ako po yung  exchange student, at my subject po daw ako dito," he has accent halatang hindi taga rito at ang puti rin niya.

Nang humarap siya sa amin feeling ko huminto ang pag ikot ng paligid. Anger strike me like a lighting speed from my feet to my head. Years has past and I can't believe it to see him again. He has a guts to come back. How dare he!

"KING INA MONG GWAPO KA!"
