Chasing Dreams (Completed)

Chapter Three

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now.....

Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

-I knew you were trouble by Taylor Swift-

One year has passed and now seniors na kami. It was first day of school at Ace Academy and the campus radio was playing "First Day High."

"Yeah nasasabik talaga ako dahil malapit na tayong makawala sa high school! College boys here I come!" Ani ni Ria habang kami ay naglalakad papasok.

"Ria bakit tuwing school year ay paiksi ng paiksi yang skirt mo?" Sabi naman ni Maui at napansin ko din.

"As usual para makabiktima na naman ng boys. Halay much!" Sagot ko naman. Ewan ko ba sa babaeng ito at tila porn star ang peg!

"The shorter the skirt, the better! Paki ninyo kesa naman sa manang na ito? Teh! Isang taon na? Aba'y move on na po tayo kay Mr. Dreamboy!"

After ng birthday ko ay kinuwento ko sa kanila ang nangyari. I was depressed pero sabi nga nila I have to face reality. He was just a fantasy made up by my mind.

"Naka-move on na ako noh! Dapat this year magkaroon ako ng bagong crush! Sana may transferee no? Yung gwapo naman!"

"Tinatawag mo ba ako, Kace?" Sabat naman ni Ryan Mayabang.

"Excuse me. Gwapo? Saan banda? Dream on!" Naiiritang sagot ko at naglakad papasok ng classroom.

"Mapapasaakin ka din balang araw, Kace." Pahabol naman niya at umalis kasama ng mga alipores niya.

"May bagong seating arrangement? Hassle ha?" Reklamo ni Maui nang hinanap namin ang names namin sa armchairs. Usually kasi in alphabetical order kami.

Nakita ko ang chair ko at naupo na. Bakante ang nasa tabi ko na malapit sa window. Kaasar! Window seat pa naman gusto ko. Lakas maka-airplane eh!

After 5 minutes ay pumasok na ang teacher namin.

"Good morning Class! Welcome back! How was summer vacation?"

We mumbled our replies and some bragged about going to this and that.

"That's great to hear that you enjoyed." Sabi ni Maam tapos may kumatok sa door. Binuksan niya at may lalaking naka-shades with leather jacket. Mala-artista ang dating and the word hot, gorgeous and dangerous are written all over him. He looks familiar though.

"Okay everyone, please meet our new student... Chase Scott." He removed his shades slowly.

Lub dub lub dub lub

Oh no! He is real! Ang lalaki sa aking panaginip!

"Ikaw nga?!" Sigaw ko at napatayo ako bigla tapos everyone was looking at me giving me weird looks.

"Yes Miss Guevarra?" Napataas ng kilay ang teacher at napakunot ng noo si Chase like he doesn't recognize me or he is just embarassed to admit it?

"Siya nga po yung new student..." At naupo ako ulit at natawa yung mga kaklase ko. Tumingin ako kina Maui at Ria na tila sila ay hindi rin makapaniwala.

"Okay Mr. Scott, you may take that vacant seat beside Miss Guevarra."

Second to the last row kami at parang based sa height yung seating arrangement kasi si Ria ay nasa first row palibhasa pandak. Hihihih.

I gazed into Chase who was busy staring outside the window. I kept on looking at him to make him notice me but his eyes never wandered to mine.

Kailangan mapansin niya ako! Impossible na hindi niya ako nakikilala? Or maybe I made him up in my mind tapos naging totoong tao siya? Bakit pa kasi wala ka na Mamu! Hindi ko naiintindihan ang nangyayari sa akin!
