Mr. Popular's Heir

Part 17

**NIEL's POV**

Nang makarating kami sa College of Education, I noticed a huge difference between their college and to other colleges.

Everything was proper and I mean it. Mas strict sa college nila compared sa iba.

Sa gate pa lang ay hinahanapan na kami nang I.D and the guard advised us to wear it all the time. Oh, let's not forget the fact na kinuha nang guard yung I.D ni Brent dahil hindi sya naka uniform.

Also, the students here maintains their natural hair color and proper hair cut. The boys doesn't have any piercing.

There's no students loitering around aside from us. Napaka tahimik din sa hallway nila.

So, the girl that Brent fancies was a future educator.

I bet his Mom would not allow this. Brents Mom was strict and I mean she's really strict. She doesn't even like us to be friends with Brent.

Tinitigan ko si Jimenez and he looks so damn nervous and happy at the same time.

Oh well, it's his problem so let's just leave it to him to deal with in the near future.

"We're here" bulong ni Lhester nang makarating kami sa harap nang BSNED.

"I'm nervous" bulong sa amin ni Brent.

"Oh well, since nandito na tayo let's just do what we're supposed to do" Lhester shrugged at kumatok sya sa pinto at agad naman iyong binuksan nang isang babae.

"May I help you?" tanong nito.

"Can we go inside? We won't take much of your time" usal ko since I noticed na walang professor sa loob.

"Alright" pagpayag naman nya kaya pumasok na kami.

I thought Brent was nervous but I was shocked dahil pagkapasok pa lang namin ay tumakbo na sya kaagad palapit sa babae nya.

His girl reminds me of a washboard.

I'm Ashniel Lopez. I do love studying because it gives me the thrill that I've been looking for. Am I weird?

Anyway, 1 year and 4 months na kaming break nang EX ko pero mahal ko parin sya. Alleya Patricia Gomez was my 2 year girlfriend at hanggang ngayon hindi pa ako nag hahanap nang iba kasi I'm hopping that one day magiging akin ulit si Patricia.

**MAXIE's POV**

I'm helping my classmates with some stuffs nang biglang dumating si Ian. Oh, and he's with his friends too. I didn't have enough time to process what was happening nang biglang lumapit sa akin si Ian.

"Maxie" nahihiyang usal nya.

"Ian, What are you doing here?" bulong ko sa kanya.

Pinag titinginan na kami nang classmates ko and all I wanted to do was to leave as fast as I can. But before I could even do that, Ian held my hand in his.

"Maxie, I'm taking this risk since I want everyone to know that I've been courting you. I want them to know how proud I am to you. I want them to know that I lived you for so long" Malakas ang pagkakasabi ni Ian nito habang namumula pa ang mga pisngi nya.

By now, pinagtitinginan na kami nang mga kaklase ko.

One of his friends started playing the guitar kaya agad lumayo sa akin si Ian then he started to sing.

I'm not really fond in music but I can say that he is bad at singing.

He doesn't have the talent in it.

What's worst is that he's swaying his hips from side to side.

Kumikembot sya habang kumakanta and he's even wearing a red pajamas and let's not forget that he's holding a bee stuff toy and he's waving it around  so he resembles a child with ADHD.

Who even suggested this ridiculous idea?

At this rate, Ian's popularity will go down the drain kapag hindi pa sya tumigil sa ginagawa nya.

After singing ay bigla syang lumuhod sa harap ko.

"Am I good? Are you amazed?" tanong nya kaagad and he tilted his head like a puppy.

"It's —good but don't do that again" nahihiyang usal ko. What am I supposed to say?

Napangiti naman sya at muli syang tumayo then lumapit sya sa akin para bumulong.

"Can I be your boyfriend?" tanong nya at agad nag init ang mga pisngi ko dahil duon.

He's willing to take the risk and he proved himself too much already. I can't bare to turn him down.

I don't want to deal with whatever issue that might arise. I know for sure that in the eyes of other person I'm not enough for Ian.

I'm afraid of the criticism and judgement na maririnig ko.

But, maybe I should take the risk too?

I wouldn't know the outcome kung hindi ko susubukan.

And besides, Ian is here for me.

"Yes, so don't make me regret my decision" bulong ko sa kanya then lumayo ako sa kanya para makita ang reaction nya.

He pouted.

Then he jumped around while waving the bee stuff toy na kanina nya pa hawak.

"Oh yes! Did you hear that? Probably not because she whispered it to me!" sigaw nya at tumawa sya nang pagkalakas lakas.

I wonder what my Classmates were thinking now.

"Hooohoo!" sigaw nya na naman.

"Brent, give that stuff toy to her!" usal nang isang kaibigan nya kaya napatigil si Ian sa pagtalon talon.

"Why? Isn't this for me? I like this bee so I will keep it" sagot nya naman at tinalikuran nya na ang mga kaibigan nya at muling tumalon talon.

"He's stupid!" gigil na sabi nang kaibigan nya at napa face palm pa ito.

"Ohhhh! I'm her boyfriend now! You can't bully my girl" pagbabanta nya sa mga classmates ko.
