NOPI 28
Sephine's POV
Oh my god. They kissed! Mwahaha! That's what I've been waiting for~
Hmp. It took them so long to realize each other's feelings. But anyways, they're scary but cute. Hahaha
Nasa classroom nga pala ang ngayon at nagbabasa ng bagong kong libro. Ang title ng libro ay "The Numb" it's about gangsters, love, family, friendship and so much more.
(A/J: Hi guys! I'm shamelessly endorsing my other story. Hahaha. I-check niyo po 'yung "The Numb" sa profile ko. Thanks in advance guys!)
"Hey" sabi ni Ed sabay tapik sa akin balikat ko kaya naman binaba ko na ang librong binabasa ko
"Hmm?" tanong ko at agad na inikot ang paningon ko
Ha?
"Hindi ka ba sasama sa amin?" tanong niya
"Nasan ang mga kaklase natin?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit siya natawa't tinulak ng mahina ang ulo ko
"May meeting sa Auditorium. Nagbabasa ka kanina habang naga-announce si Ma'am. Ang galing nga ng focusing skills mo dahil hindi mo namalayan na nagsialisan na sila. " sabi ni Ed kaya naman napakamot na ako ng leeg ko't agad na inayos ang mga gamit ko't tumayo na
Nagtaka ako dahil ngiting ngiti si Ed habang tinitignan ako.
"Kakaiba ka ata ngayon?" tanong ko habang nakakunot ang noo
"Wala lang naman. May nalaman lang ako at habang inaalala ko palang 'yon ay ang saya saya ko na" sabi niya sabay tingin kay Rico saka ito kinindatan
"Ano 'yon tol?" tanong ni Rod, oblivious Rod, na halatang walang pakealam sa nalaman ni Ed
"Tsesmoso!" sigaw ni Ed saka ako hinila
"Ed, ipaalam mo ako ha? Susunod lang ako after kong magpasa ng documents for the Student Council!" sigaw ni Rod kaya naman tumango nalang ako pero si Rod eh nag-belat sakanya
"Tara na nga, Princess"
Matatawa na sana ako bangayan nila pero teka lang. Ano raw? Tama ba ang narinig ko?
"P-princess?" tanong ko na ikinalaki naman ng mata niya
"Ah, oo, nabanggit ko lang. 'Yun nalang tawagan natin! Princess tsaka Prince!" sabi niya't kaswal na ngumiti kaya naman hindi na ako sumagot
I thought that for a moment that.. he knew who I really am.
Tinignan ko si Ed at ang kanyang side profile. He was still acting the way he used to but the only difference is that he's smiling like mad. May maganda atang nangyari sakanya at nagiisip lang ako ng sobra sobra.
I mean he's supposed to avoid and get angry at me for keeping my identity a secret if ever he found out about it right? Pero bakit ba Princess ang tawag niya sa akin? Princess ang tawag kay Josephine ng mga hindi niya kakilala eh.
Ugh. Am I just overthinking? Napaparanoid na ba ako? Or maybe.. the guilt's starting to eat me up.
"Nga pala, nakapagusap ba kayo ng maayos ni Charles nung isang araw?" tanong niya kaya naman napangiti na akong tumango dahilan kung bakit siya natawa
"Aba'y hindi ka na nagde-deny ah? At ang ganda ng ngiti mo" sagot niya kaya naman natawa na rin ako
"Hmm, I realized that there's no use to running away"
"You guys shouldn't try to get in to a fight or avoid each other again, nadadamay ang barkada dahil sa inyo eh" napakagat na ako ng labi ko't tumango na kaagad
"I'm sorry. I was just.. not used to it" sagot ko dahilan kung bakit siya natawa ulit at pinat ang ulo ko like the way my older brothers do whenever they couldn't do anything for me but be helpless
"So.. what phase in a relationship are you guys in now?" tanong niya
"He said that he'll take responsibility and that I should trust him, not that I didn't plan to" sagot ko dahilan kung bakit siya napangiti
"Then I guess it's just a matter of time before you guys start to date, huh? I'm happy for you guys" hindi na ako sumagot at napangiti nalang din
Hindi naman nagtagal ay nakarating na kami sa auditorium at naglakad papunta sa may bandang likuran.
Nagpigil ako ng ngiti ng makita ko si Charles na nakangiting humihintay sa amin.
Nang makalapit na kami ay uupo sana ako sa dulo pero nagulat ako dahil tumayo si Charles at hinila ako para umupo sa inuupuan niya para katabi ko si Ynna. Habang siya nama'y umupo sa tabi ko.
"Hi," bulong niya kaya naman napangiti nalang ako
"Thanks," bulong ko rin pabalik
"Ikaw pa," sagot niya kaya naman natawa nalang ako
Icy | Mandy | Ynna | Me | Charles | Rico | Ken | Venus
Kung tinatanong niyo kung nasan si Ed eh nasa harapan siya kasama sina Violet at ang bagong dating na si Rod. Mga secretary daw kasi sila ng Dean.
"Good morning everyone. We are all gathered here today for a special announcement" sabi ni Violet
Nag-start naman ang bulong-bulungan.
Everyone in this school really loves to gossip, huh?
"As The Royal Academy Student Council's President, I would like to give the honor of presenting our School President, Mrs. Viola Begley, to please come up at the stage" sabi ni Violet at agad namang nagsipalpakan ang mga estudyante
Naging escort ng President si Rod at nang maihatid niya na si Ma'am ay bumaba na rin naman sila ni Violet.
"This meeting is all about the Grand Showcase where all students are gifted a chance showcase their talents and this opportunity should not be taken lightly because it might change your lives forever"
"I think you guys still remember Mary Angelic Falcon, Lumiere Joseph Falcon, Mai Sio, Simeone Nicole, Cristelle Jasareno and Adrian Nicolas. Sila ang mga alumni ng Royal Academy na naging napakagandang example" agad namang nagpalakpakan ang mga estudyante
Nabasa niyo ba? Haha
Si Kuya Joseph ay dito nag-aral ng high school. Dito siya natutong maging makulit, magulo, makipagbasag ulo at marami pang iba. It was one heck of a time really. He was on his rebellious stage that time but after a few life-threatening moments, he changed for the better. After all, he's the heir to the Falcon Empire and the eldest.
"Sa mga nabigyan ko na ng mga kasama, sorry to inform you this but it won't be pushed through because of many factors" dagdag pa ni Dean kaya naman gulat akong tumingin kina Ed
"I know what you're thinking, Seph" natatawang sabi ni Ynna kaya naman bumugtong hininga ako
"Hahaha. After all those practice you guys did. What a bummer" hindi na ako sumagot at sinilip na si Charles na kaswal lang na nakaupo sa tabi ko
His one hand was at the back of my chair while the other was in his pocket. As usual, his aura's so dazzling and domineering you'd think he's a deity or something. He's also wearing a poker face whenever someone else is with us unlike when there's only the two of us.
Nang mapansin niyang nakatingin ako sa kanya ay humarap ako sakanya.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" tanong niya
"What? Masama bang tignan ang gwapo mong mukha?" bulong ko
Nagpigil ako ng tawa nang mapansin kong namula siya. Agad naman siyang nag-cover ng mukha niya gamit ang kamay niyang nasa bulsa niya kanina.
"That's a direct attack. Tsk. I remember I told you to stop seducing me right?" tanong niya kaya naman ako na ang napa-cover ng mukha ko dahil naramdaman kong uminit ito indicating that I was blushing too
"Haha. Damn, you're so cute" dagdag niya kaya naman napakagat na ako ng labi ko
"Stop that. Tsk. Stop everything you do," bulong niya't naglean na sa upuan niya
"What? Why?" tanong ko
"Everything's seducing me," sagot niya dahilan kung bakit ko siya pinalo
"Ang bastos talaga ng bunganga mo eh no? I'm not doing anything indecent, okay?"
"You won't understand it anyways"
