Chapter 12: Flashback
LARA's POV
"I missed my bed!" sigaw ko at bumagsak sa malambot kong kama. Pagod ako sa photoshoot at sa practice for the production number kanina.
Tristan will be buzy for their basketball practice kaya dito na muna ako.
Ilang minuto akong nakatitig sa ceiling. Ang rami kong iniisip! The University Night, the complicated relationship with Tristan, my playmares, the fucking truth about Ian, Dammit!
Why did I became this worse when Ian left? They say I'm just too over exaggerating. They say I'm just weak to handle that simple heartbreak.
Well, they don't know the story behind and I don't owe them any explaination. Hindi naman sila ang nasaktan diba? Let them talk behind my back, because it's where they belong.. Behind my back. (borrowed line)
Paano nga nag simula ang lahat ng 'to? All these pain, heartbreak and this ruined life? I guess it started with a..
*flashback*
"Hi!" sabi ng isang student while I was walking papunta sa Library.
"Hello.." I replied with a smile and passed that handsome stranger by.
"Beshieshai! Sino yun?" nagpapacute na tanong ni Martie, my gayfriend.
"Ewan.." sagot ko at iniwan ang pink jansport back pack ko sa library counter.
Sino nga ba yun? All I know about that guy are just basics. He's a junior high and a talented guitarist. Maraming babae ang sumisigaw kapag tumutugtog siya. That's all. It's high school. What would you expect?
"Sheeze! I hate high school!" I said at nilatag ang English, Math and Science books ko sa mesa.
"Hate? Eh ba't sabi mo you missed the academy during the semestral break?" tanong ng kaklase kong si Candice.
Her real name is Candice Clara Topaz. We both graduated as class valedictorian but not in the same elementary school. She's very competitive which makes her my top karibal sa lahat ng bagay.
Karibal ko siya sa pagandahan ng projects, sa pasiklaban sa oral recitation at sa pataasan ng scores sa exams. Pati nga sa paputian ng uniform at sa pataasan ng white socks, kinakaribal niya ako.
Sige! Sakanya na ang Most Neat and Clean dahil I received it for a hundred times! Nakakainis!
"Chaka! Ice cream lang ang kulangens niyan beshie.. Buti pa mag churvavels tayo ng bonggacious sa mall.." sabi ni gayfriend.
"Mamaya na besh, I have to study pa.." sagot ko at sinubsob ang mukha ko sa mga aklat kong nakalatag.
"Ano ba naman itetch! Magkawrinklets ka niyan girlash! Taralets na at may mga papabells sa labas ng library!" sabi niya at rumampa.
Highschool is actually fun. Sino ba naman ang hindi sasang-ayon at hindi nagenjoy sa highschool? Wala diba? Kung meron man, siya na ang dyosa ng kamalasan.
We can't deny the fact that first date, first love, first kiss, first hug, first holding hands, first heartbreak, all happen during highschool.
Others might experience them in their college years but karamihan, sa high school talaga.
My highschool days were just considered normal during the first two months.
Normal in the sense that I had a crush on a senior guy who doesn't have a crush on me, I had a sophomore suitor and he annoys me, I stay late at night bonding with friends, I drink a little and study much, stuffs like that.
