04 || First Love?

Alliyah's POV

Hello... I'm back hehe... Sobrang nakaka-stress. I really don't know where to to start. Epecially na naging isa ako sa mga candidate for the 'Hidden Officer Position'. Pero natakpan iyon nang nalaman ko na nakapasa ako sa---

"Congratulations to Ms. Lee, Ms. Dimple, and Ms. Barrera for getting the most highest score in this Class!" masayang sabi ni Teacher Ellen sa amin at nagsipalakpakan naman kaming lahat.

"Now all of you may take your break time" At karamihan sa amin nagsi-alisan na.

While... I'm getting my snacks . I heard some murmuring in the other side of the classroom.

"May Jollibee talaga noh? Edi sya na ang 'Highest'"

"Hey, don't take it seriously Aifa. I'm sure naman na ikaw lang ang pwedeng makasam sa Top 3."

"I really didn't expect na mataas ang score nya sa Major Subjects! Nilagpasan nya pa si Cathryn!"

"Just shut up... Walang magbabago sa Top 3, and I'm pretty sure of that"

"Ako pa rin ang magiging Top 1, second si Kacey, at third si Aifa."

"Yeah, yeah... Whatever"

'Umm... w-what's wrong with them? At tsaka... di ba nila alam na nandito pa ako? or sinadya lang nila? And why are they even so serious about it? Naka--- Pero wait... ano yung Top 3 na sinasabi nila?'

I immediately went to the cafeteria at sumalubong sa akin sila Irish at Bella.

"Alliyah, dito!" Sigaw ni Denise.

I went up to the table they're seating at... and then immediately rest my head on the table. Looking at them eating their snacks.

"Oh... bat ka malumgkot? Highest ka na nga eh. Kami nga ni Angelica pasang-awa" dagdag pa nito sabay biro nito.

"I know na highest ako pero, why do they need to take it seriously?" Tanong ko, and take a quick glimpse on Aifa's table. At sumunod naman sila sa liningon kong lamesa.

"Oooohhh... Sila Aifa ba?" Tanong ni Maricar. At tumango ako dito.

"Ganto kasi yun Aya" Panimula ni Anndrea.

"Kung sino ang makakapasok nang Top 3 from this quarter to the last quarter will have an additional benefit to collage. Malakas din ang chance na mapili ka at makapasok sa International Perez Campus. Kaya kahit 1st quarter pa lang, Aifa's circle of group... take it serious"

'That's explains a lot now... Akala ko gawa gawa lang nila yung nickname HAHAHA'

"At! Lagi kasi sila Cheska, Kacey, at Aifa ang Top 3 since gradeschool to middle school. Kaya baka... they feel threatened to your sudden score." Dagdah pa nito ni Angelica.

'Ayt... naol... Friendship Goals WHAHAHAHA. Pero I think medyo sobra na yung pag-seryoso nila'

Tumahimik bigla ang lamesa namin pero di nagtagal nagtanong si Faith.

"Out of a sudden question Aya..." Panimula nito. I hummed in response and look at her.

"Totoo ba yung rumor na... Kapatid mo sa Trisha Cassandra Lee?!" Sync na tanong nila Faith at Denise. At halos lahat sila nakatingin sa akin.

"Oo, bakit? Anong meron?" Nalilitong tanong ko.

"D-di nya sinabi sayo?" Tanong ni Angelica sa akin kaso... bakit may pa-disappointed yung boses nito?

Umiling ako.

"Sure bes, ie-explain namin sayo from top to bottom" pang-aasar na sabi ni Denise. That let me out a chuckle.

"Three years has been passed since she entered this school. The first 'Hidden Officer' nang School Council. I don't know what's in that position but... parents ni Justind ang nagdecide nun. At first, naghesitate si Justine. But on the day of Voting. Pumayag sya na yung kapatid mo nalang ang humalili doon sa position na iyon." - Irish

"She's the reason too kung bakit nagkaroon din nang buhay yung Perez Campus. At good thing di iyon nawala sa mga students" - Angel

"But the events are more exciting and most enjoyable memories... Why? First! The Battle of the Class. It's kinda like talent show pero... every classroom has to have their representative. Second! The Christmas Carol Contest. Na kung saan kakanta kami by acapella at may twist... we have to pick two songs at kailangan may sayaw kami. At last, nafall in love sa kanya si---" I didn't heard the last sentence clearly dahil tinakpan bigla ni Bella yung bunganga ni Francine.

"Keep it down Francine. Don't forget that Justine and Aifa has a relationship that time..." Bulong sa kanya ni Bella and I know na sinasadya nyang lakasan yung bulong na iyon unti para kami lang ang makarinig.

'Woah... Naging sila pala ni---'

"Ano ka ba Bella hindi naging sila noh... Sadyang pok---" At tinakpan namin ni Angelica yung bunganga ni Angel.

Habang heto ako... Still on the process and thinking of what they have just said.

"Umayos ka nga Angel! Alam mo naman na si Charice lang naman talaga ang naging First Love ni Justine eh!" As soon as Angelica said that, she immediately covers her mouth. And that made all of us friends stop and look at her astonished.

"What...?"

"I thought..."

"Charice died---"
