Your Song

Chapter 1

Ilang sandali lang rin at biglang nagtilian ang mga babae.

"OMG! Cal's here!"

"Wade is mine!"

"Logan akin ka na lang please!"

"Tristan!"

Umalingawngaw ito sa buong hall way.

Pumasok silang apat sa room, at kulang na lang maghugis-puso ang mga mata ng mga babae, well pwera na lang sa amin ni Cielo.

Unang pumasok ang school's basketball team captain at ang leader ng grupo, si Wade. Swabe siyang naglakad papunta sa upuan niya, sa isang tipikal na sporty look.

Next is Logan, the cold, poker-faced one. With his typical emotionless eyes, he entered the room and sat beside Wade.

Then Tristan, the playboy. First week of school and he already dated half of the girls in class.

"Hey sweetie," I heard him say to one the girls squeaking on them.

Lastly, Calibre. His hair is quite messed up, I've always liked the midnight blue tone of his hair. Whenever it's exposed in the sun, it shows a deep blue color which made him look like an anime. And when in darkness, it's black. Either way, I like it.

He's the group's "heartthrob", by the way.

I just rolled my eyes.

"Tss," I said.

Cool siyang naglakad sa gitna at tumabi sa barkada niya.

I looked at them once more, they sit beside each other, not to mention that their seats are in line with us, just in the other side of the room. They were busy talking and hitting on girls.

And he didn't even bother to steal a glance on me.

After a while, our teacher finally came in.

"Good morning, class."

"Good morning, ma'am."

"So, it's the first week of class and for the whole week, I wasn't able to meet you," she started.

Yeah, today's already Friday and it's the first time to meet our History teacher.

"And I want to make it up to you. Since it's a time for getting to know each other, I want you to group yourselves into six."

The room automatically became noisy.

"Ugh," I rolled my eyes.

"Sinong groupmates natin nito Kayle?" tanong ni Cielo na natataranta na.

"Chill. Sakto naman ang bilang natin sa klase so obviously, sakto ang groupings."

"Quiet, class. Pick five group leaders first."

Wade was first on the list, and the others I wasn't familiar of.

"Okay, Wade, pick your groupmates."

He firmly stood infront of the class and screened his eyes on everyone.

"Calibre, Tristan, Logan," he spoke in an authoritative tone.

"You lack two more," ma'am said.

For that, the girls went wild again.

"Pick me!"

"No, me!"

"Ako na, Wade!"

Nagkatinginan kami ni Cielo at sabay na umiling.

"Pathetic," I hissed.

Nakatingin lang kami sa harap nang bigla niyang binanggit ang pangalan namin.

"Kayle and Cielo, be with us," he said, eyes fixed on us, then walked towards his seat.

"Ano?!" I screeched and automatically stood up.

"Sis, chill," mahinang sabi ni Cielo.

Halos lahat nakatingin sa amin,

"Any problem, Miss Cortez?"

I looked at Wade, and he gave me the look saying "What's wrong with you? We'll just be groupmates, that's all."

I slowly shook my head and composed myself, "Nothing, ma'am."

Great, just great.

Our teacher discussed everything and I wasn't paying attention. I'm disturbed with the fact that I'd have to spend my whole time with our group in History class for the whole quarter.

Dismissal time came and finally, we're going home.

"Daan muna tayong saglit sa gym? May laro ngayon eh," yaya ni Cielo.

Tumango ako at naglakad na kami papunta doon. Sa totoo lang, tinatamad ako.

But I wanna see my bestfriend play. I know he's there, he's a basketball player.

Pagdating namin doon, umupo kami sa pinakamataas na bleacher, nakakalahati na ang laro.

10 seconds left on the last quarter, and the score's tied.

Si Cal ang may hawak ng bola. Pawis na pawis na siya.

5 seconds nang bigla siyang nag-three-point shot at shoot!

The crowd cheered for them, even me and Cielo.

Way to go, Cal!

On our way home, we took a cab.

"Hayy sis! What a day," Cielo said as we found comfort inside.

I remembered what happened earlier, the grouping, the basketball game.

"Yeah, a long day."

"Nakita mo ba si Cal?" tanong niya.

"Malamang," tamad kong sagot.

"Ewan ko talaga sa inyo, Kayle."

"Bakit?"

"Hanggang ngayon, isang buwan na ang nakalipas, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa nangyari."

"Ako rin, Ciel, ako rin," malungkot kong sagot.

I looked outside the window. It's raining.

Mukhang nakikisabay pa ang langit sa drama ko ngayon.

"What's your plan now?" tanong niya.

"I don't know, all I want is to get my bestfriend back."

"Goodluck on that," she said worriedly.

I rested my back on the seat and closed my eyes.

"Yeah."

All I want is to get my bestfriend back.

And I don't know where to start.

From the first time he shut me out, I felt like my world breaking into pieces.

He's a big part of me.

I tried a couple of time but he always pushes me away.

It's been a while since I last tried to, and I don't think when I can again.

Maybe I will do it slowly.

But I will never give up on him.

I will never give up on my bestfriend.

I will never give up on Cal.
