Love against the MIND (JiaDdie Fanfic)

Jia

Hi, I'm Julia Melissa Morado, 2nd year student of Ateneo De Manila University and taking up AB Psychology. A lot of people say that I'm pretty cute when I smile. Can't blame them, ako man minsan naku-cute-an sa sarili ko.

How's my love life? Oh, right. Kasama nga pala 'yun sa introduction ng characters sa Wattpad, 'no?

Well, okay naman dahil mayroon akong boyfriend. His name's Miguel. We're born on the same day. Can you imagine? Almost one year na rin kami. He's not too handsome but he's kind, a gentleman, and most of all, he loves me.

If I love him? Well, the answer is not yet. I mean, love is long-term process, right? So hindi naman pwedeng mahal ko siya agad. We need to be closer for me to feel that.

Sa psychology kasi may rason kung bakit ka attracted sa tao o kung paano ka pwedeng ma-attract. As long as alam ko yung factors ng attractions ko, pwede ko i-avoid para hindi ko maramdaman sa iba at kay Miguel lang.

Miguel was the only one who fits my standards. That's why I chose him. He totally suits my interest. There's no way I'll be attracted to any other person except him. I only have my liking focused on him. I'll only do the things that you, mere people, deemed sweet with him. Therefore, there is no way I'll develop love towards someone else. Period.

I'm currently here in Ateneo for a summer class. I took a subject, which is 'yung pinakamahirap na subject next year so I can focus more on trainings. I almost forgot, nagpapatulong nga pala si ate Den sa registration ng mga mag-eentrance exam.

Shit. I was late because I was so engrossed with the book I'm reading at the library earlier.

"Hoy! Baldo, anong inuupo-upo mo r'yan? Late ka na ngang dumating tatamad-tamad ka pa?" Take a guess, guys. Sino lang ba sa members ng AWVT ang makakasigaw sa captain nang ganoon? Right. None other than ate Denden.

"Grabe ka, besh, parang 5 minutes lang kami na-late galit na galit ka na agad?" ate Ella argued. Looks like someone has a death wish.

Ate Den was about to cast her curses to ate Ella that's why I decided to interrupt. "Hi, ate Den. Sorry, may tinapos lang akong research," singit ko bigla. Of course, I lied. I can't admit na nakalimutan kong tutulong ako ngayon if I still want to live long.

She turned her head at me. "Hi, baby, okay lang 'yun. You can go and sit here at the registration table," sabi ni ate Den. 'Yan ang gusto ko kay ate Den, lagi akong pinapalusot.

Paalis na ako nang may nagreklamo. "Ano 'yan? Siya late ng 1 hour, pinapaupo na tapos kami 5 minutes lang late, pinaparusahan?" Angal ni ate Ella kay ate Den. Oops. Labas na ako dyan.

"At bakit ka ba na-late, Pots? Kasi kumain ka pa. Dinamay mo pa 'yang si Baldo. Eh, si Jia, nag-research talaga," paliwanag ni ate Den habang nakataas ang kilay. Sorry, ate Ella. Nagpahuli ka kasi.

"Paano kung nagresearch din kam—"

"At bakit ka magre-research? Eh, hindi ka naman nag-summer?!" angil ni ate Den. Hindi man lang pinatapos si ate Ella.

"Paano mo nalama—"

"Ako rin kaya namahala sa registration for summer classes." Geez. Walang lusot. Thank God, I really took summer class.

Umalis naman si ate Denden at hinila pa si ate Ly kasama niya. Lumingon naman sa akin si ate Ella saka ako pinaningkitan ng mata. Kinilabutan naman ako. Syempre, ate Ella's all fun pero senior ko pa rin siya and she can be scary sometimes.

"Hey," someone stopped her. "Huwag mong pag-initan si Jia. Kasalanan mo talaga. Sumunod ka na lang sa utos ni Denden, tapos ililibre kita," singit ni ate Mae.
