The Potential Between Us ✨ [MED SERIES 7] COMPLETED

Prologue

It was and is always a dream of pursuing medicine but I was not told I'll experience hell first before getting that MD after my name. Pre-med was hard, but med school is like a walk in hell. Endless case discussions or sgds, tons of requirements and the freaking exams and quizzes every day. Every day was hell.

"Remind me again why are we here?" I asked Louisse whose head was rested on my shoulder. She's my ride or die. The Monica to my Rachel and the Cristina to my Meredith. She's the sister I prayed to have in my next life.

"You told me you'll say it if ever you bump with your ex." She murmured.

I sighed heavily. "Yeah, but it's hard. Baka mabaliw muna ako bago mangyari yun."

"Same."

"Nasan na yung babe mo?" Tanong ko. Sumimangot sya. Isang taon na silang nagpapanggap ni Gerard. Impossibleng hindi pa nya gusto yun. Nahuli ko sila minsan na nagmamakeout, I had to pretend na kararating ko nung natapos sila. Manhid lang kasi 'tong babaeng 'to. Elementary pa lang ramdam ko ng gusto sya ni Gerard. Tumindi lalo yun nung pre-med, kung landiin sya nung tao halos mahimatay na ako sa inggit dati, pero sobrang manhid nya.

"Can you stop teasing us. We're just pretending," she mumbled. "Inutusan ko syang bumili ng kape natin."

"If you say so Ms. Cum laude. Just a reminder ano yung papakawalan mo if iiwan mo sya next sem."

"Tss. Why do I need a man for? Wala naman na si Ian next sem, so okay na. Plus sabi mo nga parang gusto nya si Niña." Seryosong sabi nya.

I laughed a little. Ang selosa na nya. Sinabi ko lang yun para makita yung reaction nya. "So hindi ka kinikilig sa kanya?"

"No. He's a good friend."

"Okay sabi mo e."

"Mag-empake kana mamaya ha, flight na natin bukas." Utos nya. Ang bossy rin ng babaeng 'to. Pero kung sundin sya ni Gerard, parang okay lang. Ganun ata 'pag mahal mo, kahit medyo may trait syang hindi okay, wala lang sayo.

"Ever bossy." I commented. She laughed. Tss. Minsan nagtataka ako paano ko sila naging best friend ni Dominque, sobrang layo ng mga personality namin. Si Dominique yung mix ng ugali namin ni Louisse. He's silent but talkative if the topic interests him.

When we landed in Cali, tulog kami parehas. Ilang araw din na ganun yung set-up. Sanay na sanay ako sa bahay nila, bata pa lang ako kami na lagi magkasama sa mga vacation, mas kasama ko pa nga sila ni Dom lagi compared sa mga kamag-anak ko. They are family to me.

"Hi!" Kuya Ethan said when I got myself a glass of water. Kasama nya yung mga barkada nya. It's kinda awkward not because of him, but because his friend who's my long time crush is staring at me. Nasabihan naman ako ni Louisse na andito sila.

"Hi, Chloe Francesca." Chester said smiling. Umalis agad si Kuya Ethan kasi may biglang tumawag sa phone. Naiwan kaming dalawa kasi umalis din yung ibang mga kabarkada nila.

"Hi, Kuya." I murmured. He laughed which made me raise my brow. Bakit ba lagi nya akong tinatawanan. Lagi ko syang nakikita sa bahay nila Louisse. I had a crush on him since high school.

Pero may naging boyfriend ako nung pre-med, nalaman ko kasing may naging girlfriend sya, umasa pa naman ako na gusto nya ako kasi lagi nya akong inaasar. I loved my ex but our relationship was short-lived. He cheated on me with his best friend. I was not informed habang kami, kinakama na pala nya yung babae kasi ayaw kong gawin.
