Tears Of Melody (To Love Series # 1)

Chapter Two

I didn't know why but I just found myself having a stupid crush with that guy.

I sighed momentarily.

I always see him along with his group of friends. He often stole everyone's attention whenever he is walking at the school hallways.

Yeah very typical, I know. Pero sino nga naman ang hindi mapapalingon sa kanya?

He is the Alpha Kappa Pi's President. Top Fraternity in this school, ngunit salungat naman iyon sa makulit nitong personalidad. Sa lahat ng mga kaibigan niya, siya iyong pinakamaingay at palaging tumatawa.

Hindi ko alam pero lagi ko na siyang nakikita magsimula nong ibinigay niya ang panyong iyon sa akin. He would always pop out of nowhere. Minsan magkakasalubong kami, tapos ngingitian ako nito saka babatiin.

"Uy, you're that girl, right?"

Hindi ko naman alam na sa dami-dami ng mga lugar na mapapadpad sila ng mga barkada niya, e, dito pa talaga sa butterfly garden ng school. I would always stay here whenever I have enough time to study for my exams. Kung minsan naman, kung gusto kong makapag-isip nang maayos, dito ako palaging pumupunta.

I was sitting on the bermuda grass and was immediately startled by their footsteps. I was about to turn my eyes at them when a ray of beaming sunshine blocked my face.

"Tangina," I heard a girl's voice, "Kakambal ba 'yan ni Summer?"

And I would always hear that name.

"I told you so, ayaw niyo maniwala, e." I heard Jupiter's voice.

"Malay ko ba! Mahilig ka kasi mang-chicks!"

"Anong chicks?!"

As soon as I regained my vision, I saw three people standing in front of me. Bahagyang kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa hindi pamilyar ang mga mukha ng dalawa nitong kasama. There was one girl and a guy, along with Jupiter.

"I didn't get your name last time," Nawala ang atensyon ko sa mga kasama nito at napunta sa kanya. He offered his hand to me.

"Jupiter Andre, just Jare." He winked and smiled.

"Porma-porma ka d'yan, isusumbong talaga kita," the short haired girl scolded him. Nang tignan ko ito ay tuluyan itong napayuko tila iniiwasan salubungin ang mga mata ko.

Then my eyes went to the next guy that is with them. Agad akong naasiwa sa paraan ng pagtitig nito sa akin kaya umiwas ako nang tingin.

Binalik ko ang buong atensyon kay Jupiter. He was patiently waiting for my response.

I stared at his hand for a while, not knowing what to say.

Hindi ako sanay sa ganitong set-up ulit. May makikipagkilala sa'kin pero hindi rin naman ako kakaibiganin sa huli. I had a lot of experiences and all of it didn't ended well. Kaya siguro akong naturingang loner sa section namin, kasi hindi raw ako marunong makisama.

And maybe, they're just all the same.

"Sorry, may gagawin pa ako..." ilang ulit ko na yata 'to nasabi sa mga nakikipagkilala sa akin.
