Chapter 3: HELLO'S AND GOODBYE'S

"Is walking away the greatest choice you'll ever make?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One week had passed and it's Friday again.

I woke up with a smile on my face and was definitely in a good mood

BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG...

Thank God I arrived to school early.

This morning was supposed to be good but I got all irritated after my little sister, Janina, had accidentally spilled her glass of milk on my essay while we're eating breakfast.

Great. Just Great.

Oh yes, today is a wonderful day. I hope nothing bad will happen to me, because one more I'll totally snap.

Patience. I need patience...

While walking in the hallway, I saw Carlo, I was about to go the other way but he already saw me

"Hi, Eloisa! I already received your email on the research work. Thanks for your help. It's actually good, I'll just add some of my ideas in it, right?"

"Oh yes, yes of course. " I said.

I turned my back on him because I also need to review on my first class....

"Wait, I was actually gonna ask you a favor again because there's this--" He said.

"Woah, woah, wait a minute because i think I already helped you out with your research already and it's kind of unfair to your classmates that I did yours instead of you working on it. And I think this is wrong letting other people do the work for you. " I said.

He suddenly got surprised with what I said and then he looked suddenly annoyed..

"What did you just say? That's not what I'm trying to ask but hey...why don't you do the research of my classmates then if you think it's unfair but don't pull that whiny attitude of yours on me."

"What? So now I have a whiny attitude? Well at least I don't have your lazy attitude!"

"Okay. Fine!"

"Fine!"

Then he walked away again

just like that...

What on earth did I saw in him?

Oh yes. What a great way to start my day.

First, my sister ruined the paper I was working on, good thing I woke up early so I still have the time to rewite it...

But then there's Carlo ruining my mood completely..

You may be wondering on how I met Carlo H. Right?

Did you know that he was my former classmate way back in elementary and he's so not like that, he was more like a gentleman and very friendly. Don't be surprised, he's actually one of the intelligent and responsible people in our class and we're actually close until our first year of highschool but when the varsity tryouts for basketball was announced and he got in, he changed because all of a sudden he no longer hangs out with me and his former circle of friends. He's always with his teammates. I think it's also because of his popularity with girls but despite of it all I don't have any hard feelings for him even after all these years of just saying our hi's and hello's and those occasional small talk we had in the hallway

and because of that I still like him even though we no longer belong in the same circle of friends and I'm just watching him from afar and cheering him on when there's a basketball tournament...

but the incident that I encountered with him a while ago, I'll never looked at him the same way again because I thought he would try and bring back our friendship and closeness...

but when he finally talked to me other than our usual exchange of words I got all worked up and excited even just for a moment because maybe, just maybe, we'll be back on track on being close again

but I guess I was wrong because he just asked me to do his research draft...

so now he's not my dream guy anymore. Why do I have to realize it just now? Maybe I was just too busy pining for him all these years.

Sigh. Thank goodness I'm no longer under his spell.

I'm in our classroom already...

"Els!"

someone hugged me from behind

It's Kyla.

My bestfriend...

I know that strawberry scent of hers

Thank goodness I have a bestfriend to cheer me up after all the drama

Then the bell rang..

it's already time for our first subject...

***

"WHAT!" Kyla said

Many students looked at us some were startled and some looked annoyed

"Lower down your voice, Kyla, you're embarrassing yourself!" I said as I try to cover her mouth

It's already lunch break and we're here at the cafeteria

She's shocked because I told her what happened earlier this morning

"You should at least let him finish what he was trying to tell you." She said.

"Oh, Kyla, I thought you're my bestfriend, why are you taking his side?"

"Because I know that you're already in a bad mood when you saw him... and I have this feeling that he's not talking about schoolwork"

"And what is that? aside from schoolwork that he's about to ask? huh?"

"Oh nothing..I just have that feeling, you know..." she said, then suddenly winks at me.

Here we go again..Kyla believed that she has this ability to guess what's about to happen

She said it's just that feeling that she can't pinpoint...but she assured me that things are about to get interesting...

I wonder what would that be...
