NOPI 74: It's not love but.. obsession?

NOPI Chapter 74

Stella's POV

"Kyah! Shane, Shane, Shane! Namiss kita!" sigaw na bati sabay yakap sa akin ng mahigpit ni Sephine kaya naman napayakap din ako sakanya't pinilit ang sarili ko na sumagot sakanya

"Ako din" saka nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi ko

Nang kumalas na siya ay kaagad na akong ngumiti't pinaupo siya sa tabi ko. Nandito kami ngayon sa paborito naming tambayan, ang garden.

"May ikwekwento ako sayo" panimula niya kaya naman isinara ko na ang libro ko't tinignan na siya

She seems.. okay. Na para bang walang nangyari nung mga nakaraang araw.

Dahil nakatingin ako sakanya ay hindi ko napigilang titigan siya mula ulo hanggang paa.

Sephine Cruz.

She has the title 'The Nerd Princess from the Elite School'

Unfashionable.

Has noodle like hair.

Has freckles on her cheeks.

Has up and down braces.

Has big round glasses.

An honor student.

Kind at times, but is now very famous for being ruthless.

And of course, she's Charles Anthony Begley - The Royal Academy's Heartthrob Prince's woman.

Iniisip ko palang 'yon ay kumirot na ang puso ko.

I stared at Sephine whose eyes are so clear like water and is sparkling like the night sky. It was simply mesmerizing.

So mesmerizing to the point that I almost wanted to like her and at the same time.. hate her.

What right did she have?

I have been beside Charles for so many years. I almost had it, I had hope.

Just who exactly is she? Hindi ako maniwala na dahil lang sa mabait siya't matalino ay nagustuhan siya ni Charles.

I had to figure out her background, her secret. 'Yun lang maisip ko.

I have to at least do something so that I won't lose my mind.

And when I finally did something.. she does miraculous things. Everything came back to me, slapping me one after another. And the biggest one of them all was Charles' confession on the School Forums.

Hindi niya lang ikinonfes ang nararamdaman niya kay Sephine or sa buong school, isinampal niya na rin sa mga mukha ng babaeng may gusto sakanya ang matindi niyang rejection.

"Shane! Hello? Nakikinig ka ba?" nagising ako sa pagde-daydream nang bigla siyang nag-clap sa harapan ko kaya naman ngumiti na ako kaagad

"Hmm? Sorry, may iniisip lang ako" sagot ko kaya naman natawa siya saka ako binigyan ng mineral na tinanggap ko naman kaagad

"Of course, of course. Ikaw pa, ang dami mong iniisip eh" sagot niya't nakitawa nalang din ako

Habang tumatawa siya eh, napaka-graceful niya parin at napaka-poised. She was covering her mouth with her hands while she was laughing. She has proper manners and right conduct too.

Natigilan ako sa paginom ng makita ko ang bracelet niya.

'C' ang nakalagay na design sa harapan. 'C', huh? I guess it's Charles.
