Prologue
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" I asked
"No." She said
"Why?" I looked at her while shes reading her book.
"Because I've never experienced it." She said while chuckling
"Why do you asked? Nalove at first sight kana ba?" Dagdag nya
"Oo, sayo." Those were the words that I want to say but I don't wanna rush things up, I shook my head instead and stared at her while she's busy reading her damn book.
"Wait, are you inlove?" Tanong nya sakin sabay sara ng librong kanina nya pa binabasa.
"Tss. Never." I replied then walked away.
Naramdaman kong sumunod sya sakin paglakad ko,agad akong dumiretso sa room at umupo sa upuan ko ganon din naman sya at agad na nakipagkwentuhan kila Maxine. Tahimik ko silang pinagmamasdan at naalala ko kung bakit andito ko ngayon.
/*Flashback*/
I'm currently at the mall waiting for Lee, for fvcks sake it's almost one hour since I came here waiting for that dumb ass. I decided to go to the nearest bookstore since I'm losing my patience, Humanda ka sakin mamaya Powell!
Pagpasok ko ng bookstore ay agad akong dumiretso sa mga bagong release na libro, I may look like I'm not into books but I am. I'm browsing through the Fiction Section when a group of a girl my attention.
Maybe because the two girls were so loud while the other one is silently looking through books. I'm looking into the front row while she's on the side, I can't see her whole face dahil nakaside view sya at busy sa pagtingin sa mga libro.
"Colleene! Tara na ready nadaw inorder natin sa Chowking" Sabi nung kaibigan nyang sakto ang tangkad at maikli ang buhok. Tahimik lang akong nakikinig sa sinasabi nung kaibigan nya habang nagkukunwaring nagbabasa ng likod ng libro. Fvck! I wanna see her face!
Sakto namang humarap sya banda sakin at agad akong nagtakip ng libro sa mukha na mukhang nagbabasa pero nakasilip sa kanya. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! She's so beautiful! I-I fvckng want her! May heart beats like crazy! WTH!? Pilit kong pinakalma ang sarili ko, sinauli nya ang librong hawak nya kanina, nagbago ata ang isip nya.
Sinundan ko sya ng tingin, those eyes there's something in her eyes that captured me and her lips was perfect like a heart shape, she has a white skin at lalo pang nakapagpaganda sa kanya yung matangos nyang ilong and all those features of hers was perfect with her height.
Nakalabas na sila ng bookstore at ang ingay parin nung dalawang kasama nya. Tinignan ko yung librong binalk nya, "Mortal Engines? Wow that girl is really something huh" I grabbed the book and paid for it. Sakto namang nagtext na si Lee at kanina pa daw sya nasa Starbucks tss this dumb ass.
Lee and I meet up at the Coffee shop and as planned I scold the fvck out of him, inuuna kasi ang babae! Tssk! (Wow akala mo naman si Lee lang!! ) We discussed something and decided to go home, pero ewan ko sa lalaking yon kung uuwi na talaga.
As I went to the parking lot I saw the girl at the Bookstore, medyo malayo sila ng mga kaibigan nya sakin at mukhang sasakay nadin sila sa sasakyan nung isa nyang kaibigan kaya sumakay nadin ako ng sasakyan ko.
Bago sya pumasok ng sasakyan ay sinulyapan ko muna sya bago ko buksan ang makina ng kotse at humarurot paalis.
Paguwi ko sa bahay,dumiretso agad ako sa kwarto ko at nagshower. Pagtapos magshower ay umupo ako sa study table ko at binuksan ang laptop ko. I'll try this crazy idea, nakikita ko to sa facebook and we'll see if it's really possible.
So I typed her name in the search bar "Coleene" ang daming lumabas pero may isang "Colleene" ang spell so i clicked it and napunta ko sa profile nya. IT'S HER! Damnnnn ang daming followers, sikat din sya sa campus nila. Buti nalang at hindi sya nakaprivate kaya nakita ko yung mga latest posts nya.
Her ID looks familiar, oooh she's studying at our fvcking campus, kahit ayokong magaral sa sarili naming school I think I have a reason to, isasama ko sila Lee. Buti nalang at patapos na ang 1st semester, I'm fvckng free to transfer at Smith University. And I'm Zachriel Ashton Smith for fvck sake, I can do whatever I want.
