A Romeo and Juliet Story

11. Campus Stars

**************************************************************************************************************

Ella's POV

Tuesday.

Di pa rin ako makaget-over sa nangyari kahapon.

Si Jake. Nanliligaw na.

"Hi Babe." -Jake

"Babe ka jan. Di pa tayo no, tsaka ambaduy naman ng endearment na ganyan." -Me

"Haha. Eh ano ba gusto mo?" -Jake

"Hmmm.. Di ko pa alam eh." -Me

"Sige. Wala muna ngayon. Isip na lang muna."

"Sige. Tara na?"

"Tara."

At pumunta na kami sa classroom.

O___O <---- AKO

^___^ <----- JAKE

Siguro nagtataka kayo kung bakit?

Simple lang naman.

May surprise na naman si Jake para sakin...

I LOVE YOU ELLA!

Tinignan ko ang mga classmates namin...

Lahat sila nakangiti.

Pero ang pinakamalaki ang ngiti...

Ay yung kay Eleanor.

"Ella ayos ba?" -El

"Uhmm... Oo naman bakit?"

At tumingin siya kay Jake. Si Jake naman nagthank you sa kanya.

"So magkasabwat kayo?" -Ako

"Haha. Actually, noon pa, nung party." -El

"She's right Ella. Ayoko kasing maging malungkot ka nung party kaya humingi ako ng favor dito sa pinsan ko. ^___^" -Jake

"Mag... magpinsan kayo?"

"Second cousins. Di halata no. Mas maganda kasi ako." -El

"Grabe ka naman insan. Ganyan ka na. You've changed!" -Jake

"Nahh. Di lang talaga tayo sanay magpansinan dito sa school." -El

...

Edi sila na nag-uusap.

Speechless ako eh.

FAST FORWARD >>>>

P.A : Attention! Calling all Campus Stars, you have a meeting today at exactly 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Please be on time. Thank you.

Oh ayan. May meeting daw kami...

Para saan naman?

Bahala na nga...

Time check:

2:50 pm

"Ella, punta na tayo sa meeting."

"Okay."

And he grabs me by the hand and walked. >/////<

Pagdating sa meeting room...

"I called your attention because we will have some planning for the upcoming acquaintance party. As you know, acquaintance party is held on the month after the start of classes. That means, we have 3 weeks left to prepare." -Mrs. San Apostol

"At syempre, tayo ang in-charge para sa party." -Ms. Cynthia

"Any suggestions para sa activities? -Sir Greg

"Food."

"Games."

... etc.

"I suggest dapat may mini-concert and jamming." -Jake

Huminto silang lahat. At tumingin kay Jake.

"Tama. Let's invite other bands." -Me

...

...

Moment of silence...

...

...

"I think... it's a good idea." -Sir Greg finally said. "What do you think Ms. Cynths?"

"Uhmmm.. yeah. That's a good idea. That way makakapag-enjoy ang mga students." -Ms. Cynthia

"That's right. Syempre hindi mawawala ang performance niyo, Campus Stars." -Mrs. San Apostol "Let's decide on what you will perform."

...

...

Si Jake ulit.

"I suggest we will perform love songs duets. Since tig-10 naman ang Campus Hearthrobs as well as the Campus Crushes, why not pair them?"

^____^ <------ Jake

'___' <------- Lahat sila

"Mr. Montague, anong nakain mo at active ka ngayon sa organization?" -Mrs. San Apostol

"Exactly. From what I heard from your last moderator, hindi ka nagpaparticipate sa mga ganito." -Sir Greg

^___^ <----- Si Jake pa rin

Kaya umentra na si Ms. Cynthia.

"Alam niyo kasi yang si Jake, luma-lovelife na. And what's more andito ang kanyang minamahal."

"Really?! At sino naman yang nagbago ng buhay mo Mr. Montague? :D" -Mrs. San Apostol

Moment of silence.

"The girl who changed me is no other than... Ms. Juliet Ella Montague." -Jake

"YIHEEEEEEEE!!!!"
