Angela carefully checks the contents inside her bag. She's making sure that she didn't forget all the important things that she needs to bring to school. This is a big day for her because this is the day that she has been waiting for.
She was chosen by their Professor and her classmates to be the representative of their class for the History Quiz Olympiad where she will compete against other students from different sections.She studied like crazy for a month, and she tried her best not to give in to any distractions. She's aiming for a victory, as she wants all of her teachers and classmates to be proud of her.And she also want to show all the girl bullies in her school that being smart is more important than having a physical beauty.She used to think that bullying and harassment only happens in the movies, but unfortunately, it also happens in real life. She's been a victim of verbal bullying since her freshman year in College, and sBecause of Kent's three-pointer shot, their school's score went up again, and in the end, their basketball team won the Basketball Competition. It was almost like a sure win... She can't really explain why, but she just couldn't take her eyes of Kent Cervantes. They sometimes attend same classes and she doesn't really care about him. Angela considers Kent as her rival, especially when it comes to their school's academic rankings. Kent is a scholar, and an athlete and at the same time, he is on the top rank. The two of them consistently tries to take over each other when it comes to academics. Kent is not just the usual golden boy with good looks and athletic skills but he got amazing brains as well. Angela is being challenged by him, and that's why she's studying extra hard. She doesn't want to be easily taken over by others, most especially by Kent. She can't let her guard down, and she needs to beat him!
"Alright, Sally. I hope you get well as soon as possible. It's so boring at school when you're not around." Angela stated. "I hope I can recover soon. I also miss going to school." Sally responded. After a few minutes, their conversation is over. Angela wanted to rest but she couldn't do so because she still needs to study. She can't afford to waste any more time. There is no time for her to relax. If she wants to be on the top rank, she needs to make some sacrifices for a better future. She is sure that she will thank herself in the future. She aims to be successful in everything that she do. She gently slaps her cheeks to make herself awake, then afterwards, she opened her book and notebook. After a few minutes, she's already concentrating on her studies... ========================= A few weeks later. Angela forced herself to go to school even if she's feeling under the weather today. She can't
"Really? Kent did that to you? Oh, wow! Kent Cervantes is a real gentleman!" Sally said in amazement, after she heard what happened to Kent and Angela. "Yes, I think so, too. I'm actually thinking on how can I thank him." Angela seriously stated. "Do you think maybe he likes you?" Sally suddenly asked a weird question. "Hah! Of course not! And if he does, there's no way I would like him!" Angela said, in a defensive tone. Sally lets out a helpless sigh before she spoke again. "It's been a year-and-a-half ever since you got your heart broken with Daniel. Haven't you moved on from him yet? Do you still love him?" she bombarded Angela with questions. Angela sighs on return as well, as she remembers the past. Daniel was her first love back in highschool. When she confessed her feelings to him, she politely turned her down, and the next thing she knew, he already enters the seminary and he is studying to become a priest...
IT WAS finally the reunion party of Waldorf High. Angela is currently driving the car, while Sally is at the passenger's seat. Michaela's parents let her drive the car as she already has a student's driver's license, and their house is not that far from her former school. "Are you excited to see everyone again, Angela?" Sally suddenly asked her. "I'm excited and a bit nervous, Sally? I mean, I'm excited to see and talk to our high school friends again, but I'm also nervous because I know the expectations of each one of us are high. You know, everyone's expecting you to be successful..." Angela tries to express her feelings. "Don't worry, everything's going to be okay." Sally reassures her, as she's trying to calm her best friend. "Thanks, bestie." Angela smiles back at her. =============================== One hour have passed. Angela has been craning her neck as she roams her eyes around t
The Waldorf High Reunion party is finally over. Daniel and Angela are currently at a 24-hour coffee shop. It's a good thing that there's still a coffee shop opened even at wee hours of the morning. Daniel and Michaela are enjoying their own cups of coffee, as they go down the memory lane. They talked about some bad things and good things that happened to tnem, and they can't help but to feel nostalgic all over again. Daniel asked her if he can talk to her privately after the party. Angela said yes, as she wanted to catch up more with him. Sally fully understands the situation, so she decided to hitch a ride to one of their former classmate who can drive her home... "Do you still remember the Inter High Basketball Championships?" Daniel suddenly asks her. Angela took a sip of her coffee first before she spoke. She can still clearly remember everything that happened that day, because she was able to experience her very first heartbreak.
Kent extended his hand towards Daniel for a handshake. "Nice to meet you, Daniel." Kent was the first one to speak. "Likewise, Daniel." Kent said in return, as he shook Daniel's hand. "Great! Please take a seat, guys. I'll just ask someone to get us some drinks and snacks." Angela smilingly informs them. Unbeknownst to her, Kent and Daniel are staring at each other straight in the eye, as they see each other as rivals when it comes to Angela's love and attention. ================================ "Are you aware that Daniel and Kent are inlove with you?" Sally suddenly asked Angela a million-dollar question. Angela called Sally and begged her to have a sleepover at her house. She really needs someone to talk to at this critical time. Few hours ago, Kent asked her to meet him at the Waldorf University rooftop. After all of their classes, they both met up at the rooftop. Angela had a surprise
Dana looks around at the ancestral house of the family where her Maternal. Aunt lives, which is Aunt Maggie. This ancestral house was built during the Spanish era. The sliding window is made of capiz.. .The houses foundation is made of red bricks, and they have a grand staircase. She feels like she's being transported back to the past. Dana smugly smiled at her strange thoughts. This would be a perfect place for hopeless romantics. But for a realistic person like her, this place looks boring like hell. "This might be an old house, but I can assure you that it's safe here and comfortable. You have a king-sized bed in your room." Aunt Maggie told her, as they are climbing up the grand staircase. Dana just sighed in frustration. "Yeah, whatever." she mumbled, while rolling her eyes heavenward. This will be your room, Dana... This is also where your mom used to sleep." Aunt Maggie stated, as they enter a certain room. Dana
The next day. Dana woke up in a good mood the next morning. She did some stretching, while calculating on how many hours did she sleep last night. She realizes that she slept for exactly eight hours. When she was still in the Metropolitan City, she's having a difficult time sleeping because she's been mostly out partying with friends, until the wee hours in the morning. She took a quick glance on her left foot. It's not fully recovered, but the good thing is, it's not that swollen anymore, and it doesn't hurt that much. Her mind went back to what happened yesterday. The annoying guy, who's name is Anthony, escorted her back into his house as he carefully assisted her. His mother warmly welcomed her into their house, and she was the one who did the first aid on her swollen foot. Afterwards, the woman treated her with a nice cup of warm tea and some pastries. It was not the expensive kind of treat, but nevertheless, it was very d
