Chasing Him (Mendarez Series #1)

Prologue

Prologue: Totur

"Sir! Masakit daw yung tiyan ni Astraea!" Sigaw ni Nicolla kaya muntik na akong matawa

Agad namang lumingon sa'kin ang Math teacher at mga classmates namin dahil sa sigaw nya

"Is that true, Miss Mendarez? Kaya mo bang tiisin?" My Math teacher asked me that's why my forehead automatically creased

Is he dumb or something? Syempre hindi! Kaya nga nagsusumbong diba!? Matalino nga wala namang common sense,

Umiling-iling ako sabay pisil sa tyan ko at ngiwi, pretending that I'm in so much pain

"Ba't ba masakit ang tiyan mo? Natatae ka ba?" He asked again

What the!? In front of my classmates? Really?! How gross!

Some of my classmates laughed dahil sa sinabi nya, damn, this is so embarrassing!

"Sir, isusugod ko na ba sya sa infirmary?" Nicolla asked while panicking

I bit my lower lip to suppress my laughter, Nicolla's acting is so funny! but i need to keep the 'ngiwi' and 'nasasaktan' look on my face

"Oh, sya, sige! sige!" Sir said immediately and waved his hand na parang binubugaw kami "Boys, tulungan nyo si Miss Abella para alalayan si Miss Mendarez sa infirmary"

I smile on the inside. Yes!

Pagkahiga ko sa isang bed sa infirmary ay agad bumalik ang Boys sa room dahil may quiz pa kami (or should i say sila) sa math

And the truth, is that i'm just pretending that my stomach aches para 'di kami makapag take ni Nicolla ng quiz

Gosh, I'm so smart talaga!

Kasalanan din naman 'to ni Sir! Kung sinabi nya kahapon na magpapa-quiz sya ngayon edi 'di namin gagawin 'to para naman makapaghanda kami

We made sure first na nakalayo na ang boys bago kami mag-apir,

"You know, you should thank me 'cause this is all my plan" i boasted pagkaalis ng nurse, umalis lang sya sandali dahil may kukunin lang daw pagkatapos nya akong tanungin ng kung ano-ano

"Whatever, I'll just treat you to lunch nalang, than saying 'thanks' to you" she firedback

"Wow, that pride of yours" i said and look at her sarcastically

We both laughed dahil sa ginawang kalokohan but we stopped immediately dahil bumalik ang school nurse

"Ma'am, inumin nyo nalang po itong gamot, para madaling mawala ang sakit ng tiyan nyo" Namutla ako sa sinabi nya sabay lahad sa'kin ng tablet

I looked at Nicolla to ask for some help, good thing she came up with an idea quickly

"Nurse, uhh, may phobia po kase yung kaibigan ko sa mga tablets, hindi po ba pwede kung bigyan nyo nalang kami ng...uhh...efficascent oil?" Nicolla said and bit her lower lip

"Huh, sabi nyo po kase kanina ma'am na ang sakit sakit po talaga ng tiyan nyo kaya mas effective po itong tablet" she said sabay abot sakin ng gamot "Pwede ko po kayong bigyan ng efficascent oil pagkatapos"

"No!" I overreacted, i realized what i did kaya kumalma ako ng kunti "Uhh, efficascent oil nalang po"

In that case, hindi ako makakainom ng tablet at sabi nya nga medyo matagal um-effect ang efficascent oil than tablets
