ERA

"Okay, here we go." I took a deep breath while looking at the school's front gate. I stepped closer but I stopped halfway.

I JUST CAN'T DO THIS! I was never embarrassed in my whole life! Why am I going downhill like this? In a snap, in a blink of an eye; I hit rock bottom! This is too much! I, Ella Riheanna Loveranes, who has the beauty, brains, fame, and wealth, is being treated roughly by destiny. I WON'T FORGIVE YOU DESTINY! I WILL BEND AND CRUSH YOU TO PIECES!

"Do you want to get a penalty for being late?"

Nabigla ako nang may nagsalita sa gilid ko kaya napaatras ako sa kaba. Napatingin ako sa kaniya at mas lalong nabigla. It was that guy again! The guy in the men's locker room! Is he talking to me? Why?! It's very early to meet the person I wanna avoid the most!

"Why are you so surprised?" He said like he was enjoying the expression painted on my face. "You're like an idiot standing here alone talking to yourself. Tch." He smirked.

The guts of this guy! How can he talk to me like nothing happened yesterday---? Oh snap. Maybe it's not a big deal for him. Besides, it's just a kiss, it's not like we did something nasty--- Oh my god! Why am I thinking things beyond reality?! Am I going crazy?! Get a grip Era!

"W-whatever. You just look like a g-gorilla. Early in the morning you're ruining my mood." I rolled my eyes at iniwan s'ya roon tsaka pumasok mag-isa sa gate. Avoid that guy at all cost Era or your school life will be ruined!

Naglakad ako nang mabilis para 'di n'ya ako maabutan. I hate his presence. I even hate seeing him existing sa balat ng lupa! Please lang, give me peace at least, Montero Heights University!

"Alam mo na ba saang klase ka a-attend sa first period mo?"

My heart skipped a beat in astonishment for the nth time when he suddenly spoke again behind me. I stopped walking fastly and turned around to face him, "Dude, kabute ka ba? Bigla ka nalang sumusulpot. I think I'm gonna die in a heat attack if you're going to normalize this." I said in annoyance.

He looked at me straight kaya napaiwas agad ako ng tingin. What the hell is wrong with him? Is he trying to embarrass me all over again?

"Gorilla, huh? Then why are you blushing like that? You can't even look me in the eyes." I can tell he's grinning right now! Ang kapal ng mukha n'ya ha! I won't let him bend me like this.

I gathered my courage to look at him straight and raised him a brow, "You're being too full of yourself, man. I can't stand the looks of you because it pisses me off, just by looking at it makes me vomit my breakfast." I said with a tone of arrogance. Ha! Eat that, Ley Estrella!

He smiled at me, "Your words can't do anything towards me. I am confident that you're captivated by my looks since yesterday at the men's locker—" Agad ko s'yang tinuhod sa sikmura para maputol agad ang gusto n'yang sabihin. Namilipit naman s'ya sa sakit ng ginawa ko.

"Say that thing again and I'm gonna tear you to tiny little pieces!" I shouted at him in range. Some psychodents looked at our little live show so I walked out of the scene immediately. God, hindi pa ako nakakaisang oras sa university na 'to pero sumasakit na ang ulo ko.

I took a deep breath again and looked at my schedule.
