LOVE WAITS

Prologue

It'a already 8:00 and Ethan's still sleeping. First day of class pero parang ito na rin yata ang first late niya this school year.

His school bus is already at the front of their house while continously beeping.

"Shiya!" he cussed, matapos ay mabilis siyang tumayo at pumasok sa banyo para mag-ayos. Naligo, nagsipilyo at mabilis na nagbihis.

 

He's now wearing his school uniform at wala na siyang pake sa itsura niya.

"I can't be late, damn!"

But after he went down, it's too late... the school bus left him.

"Shiya.."

Halos lahat ng tao sa bahay ay nakatingin sa kaniya at napapansin niyang tinatawanan siya ng mga ito.

"What?" he confusely asked, "Why are laughing kuya, huh?"

"Why are you in your uniform?" then he laughed again, "Late ka na ba?"

"Bakit kasi hindi niyo ako ginising?"

Then they laughed again, ''what's wrong with these people'' he murmured.

"Paano ka namin gigising eh bukas pa pasok ng senior high HAHAHAHAHA feeling junior high ka parin, kapatid?" His brother said habang nakahawa sa tiyan at tumatawa.

He immediately look at his cellphone, 'march 1, 2020'... shiya! he cussed again knowing that he forgot their class start tomorrow and not today.

"Tama na nga 'yan, let's eat breakfast first." sabi ng mama niya habang inaayos ang mga pagkain sa lamesa.

"Wala akong gana."

Then Ethan went upstair directly to his room at pagkarating niya sa kwarto niya ay napasilip siya sa bintana.

Nakita niyang may isang pamilyang mukang bagong lipat sa katabing bahay nila. May isang sasakyan na nakahinto sa harap nito at maraming gamit na nakapalupot.

"I hope there's beautiful girl I can hit on, please..."

After he wished, the girl in the black shirt went out of the car.

"I said beautiful, not witch."

Nagulat siya nang tumingin ng masama sakaniya 'yong babae at habang magkatitigan sila, his heartbeat's pounding so fast.

Ang bawat tingin nito ay isang kabadong lunok ang isinusukli ni Ethan.

They're staring for almost 10 second straight and Ethan can't stand it anymore kaya kumawala siya ng tingin at dumiretso sa kama niya.

"What's with the gazed?" he ask himself.

"What's with her? bakit siya gano'n?

"Bakit ako napaparanoid?"

"At bakit may iba akong naramdaman?" then he frustratedly shout while pulling his hair.

"Who are you?"
