1546 Words
Monday and I was busy thinking and writing on my notes while the teacher was discussing the lesson....
Philosophy yung subject namin ngayon....
I'm bored kaya nagsulat na lang ako ng story..... Ayaw kasing makinig ng utak ko sa klase......
"Miss Lee!!"
Tumingin ako sa guro.... I used Lee as my surname here... Astig diba?
Since bet ko talaga yung mga Lee na actors hehe pwede din namang Park... Or Kim?
"Yes Ma'am?"
"What are you doing! You're not listening to my class." Lumapit ito sa table ko.... Itatago ko pa sana yung notebook.. "Give me that."
Katakot naman nito.
"No... You read what you're writing! Kanina kapa!"
Huhuhuhu sabi na eh! Dapat nakinig tayo....
"It's..." I'm hesitant but.... The teacher is really scary!!!
Nakatingin na din silang lahat sakin....
I'm actually not fine with the stares or anything..... Because I have social anxiety and stage fright ....
I'm good at hiding my social anxiety but not the stage fright....
Kaya nga ang pinakaayaw ko sa lahat noong nag-aaral ako ay reporting....
Because the stares was making me nervous and uncomfortable....
I actually tried to fight it.... But It's still there.....
"I can read it for her, Ma'am."
Pao.... I look at him with relief....
"Go ahead Mr. Salvador."
It's just a very short story but.... Please... Does sensei really want to read it!!
Pao walked towards us and get the notebook so I give it to him...
At least it's not bs or something.... But still!
"There is a rare flower that bloomed in winter. A rare flower that only blooms in 500 years.
It is called Alina.
In a blizzard night, The spirit that was called winter was checking the surrounding when he found Alina the flower, shining so bright."
I'm getting embarrassed by this.... Omygosh. Please stop!
"The light of the moon makes her petals shines even more. It was a beautiful flower that it's petals shines like a diamond.
Winter walked towards where's Alina. His eyes widen when he saw her face.
"You're the only flower that bloomed in this area. Isn't it lonely?"
"It is not." Alina answered with a smile.
Winter tilted his head and just stared at her....
Out of curiosity, Winter stayed by her side....
They got closer to each other each day passes by...
And soon Spring will come....
"Would you wait for me?" Winter said with a smile.... Saddened that he will be gone for a few months.
"I will wait for you." Alina smiled at Winter....
"Wait for me. I'll get something."
Winter run away and when he came back...
He brought a small heart shaped stone... He gives it to Alina.
"Keep this." Winter Kissed Alina. "I will see you again, Alina."
And winter ended and Spring has come.... Alina was still keeping the heart shaped stone....
Flowers began to bloom in spring and trees began to reproduce...
In the spring season, Spring also noticed Alina and he took care of her.
Spring ended and summer began and that's just the routine of the seasons...
Summer showed off his power. He can make rain and can make the weather too hot.
And summer soon ended and Autumn arrived....
Her petals was slowly dying because of the fall.
"Ah. What a pitiful flower." Autumn said and leave.
Alina was left alone.
"Winter." Alina whisper missing the man she loves...
Only a month and Winter will finally comes....
But Alina is not like the other flowers...
Bloom in each 500 years but she can only stayed in one year. That's how her lifespan is.
Winter is approaching.... And when it's his time to return again....
He came running to where Alina is..... Finding out that her beloved flower's condition.
"Alina." He kneeled in front of her. "I'm back, love." He whisper.
"Welcome home, Winter." Alina smiled at him....
A tear escape from his eyes. "I love you."
"I love you." Alina also said. "Winter."
That's when he hugged and her petals was slowly blown by the cold breeze.
Leaving winter alone in that place.
But he saw the heart shaped stone.... Tears still escaping from his eyes.... He slowly get the stone from the snowy ground."
"That's all?"—Pao
Moment of silence....
"What is that!!!!" Sigaw ni Angela..
I know right? I know it's cheesy and cringe! Shut up na lang beh!
"How dare you killed the innocent flower, Alina?"
"Huh?"—Me, confused.
"What are you? A murderer?"
"Eh?"
"Make her live and be happy with winter!"
I was so confused for a moment....
"You need to revise the ending, Ms Lee." Our strict teacher said...
?????
"Yeah! Make Alina Live!"...
"It's just a story." I said....
"It's just a story yet you killed Alina?"
"Yeah! And made winter sad!"
Why are you guys so hype about it and what's with the glares!!!!
In the end.... I was forced to re-write the story because of them....
I don't want to die with the glares!
"Hahahahaha bakit kasi pinatay mo!"
Binatukan ko si Geo. "tumahimik ka nga."
Tumayo ako sa likuran ni Geo habang nakaupo siya sa sofa ..
"Stay still." I said.
"Bakit nga ba pinatay mo?" Tanong nito.
"Shut up. It's just a story." I said and begin to braid his long hair.
Mas maganda pa yung buhok niya kesa sakin.
"No. Imagine, they were like us? Remember? You fell inside your own story..."
I shut my mouth.... That's true....
"I already revise it." I said..
I made her life span even more longer and Winter transfer her to the mountain where he stayed when Winter season ended, so They can finally live happily ever after....
"When's Laila coming? And Jin too." I ask.
"Jin is busy... Laila will arrive later."
Tumingin kami kay Aqua ng lumabas siya sa kwarto.... He glared at us....
Sungit talaga nito.
Pumasok ulit siya sa kwarto.... What's wrong with him?
"Is he in puberty?" I asked.
"Who knows." Geo chuckled.
"Done." Sabi ko ng matapos kong e braid ang buhok niya.... Umupo ako sa tabi niya... "Boring naman, Pumunta kaya tayo sa palasyo?" I said.
"We told you, stop stalking them."
"I'm not! I just want to watch!" Umirap ako kay Aqua...
Ah! Let's just watch anime!
Or read I guess?
I summoned my phone...oh diba? It's already easy to use that kind of power hehehehe
I scrolled on my anime watch list....
What should I watch... What....
Ah... Rewatch ko na lang yung Sleeping Princess in a Demon Castle... Hehe
"What is that?"
"A phone." I said, not looking at him...
Ngumisi ako at pinindot yung episode one.
"Just watch." I said to Geo....
"I don't like dubbed so just read the sub." I said.
Out of curiosity, he also watched it.....
"Hahaha she's so cute." He said.
"I know right!"
We were both laughing while watching the anime....
Nasa episode 5 na kami ng lumabas si Aqua at.....
"What are you doing?" I said.... Umupo ito sa gitna namin ni Geo.
"Both of you are so noisy."
"You can go back to the spirit tree. I can watch over El."
"No. I don't trust you. Puro kayo kalokohan."
"You know what? Manood kana lang din." Binigay ko sa kanya yung phone. "Nasa gitna ka naman so Hold it!"
Aqua just look at me with his brows furrowed. Hindi naman siya nagreklamo.. hehe.
Aqua's POV
She's too close.... I can't focus with this thing they're watching and find it funny....
I continue to stare at her while she's giggling....
She's even slapping her legs while laughing.... She can just smack my arm instead.... Like how she do it to the rest of the guardians....
What's wrong with her not doing it with me?
She's really cute tho...
I can keep her in my bed in the spirit tree and stare at her all day....
Huh? Eh? What?
She's a human! I can't do that!
Tumingin ito sakin.... I was flustered.
"What? You're really ugly." I said ...
"Grabe kana talaga aqua-man!"
The way she glared at me is so cute too...
"El is cute tho." I glared at Geo. "Hehe it's my opinion pero pangit ka talaga El."
"Hoy! Porket ginawa ko kayong pogi!!!!" Tumayo ito at inagaw ang magic device sa kamay ko.
"Ambot sa inyo!!!" Saad nito at pumasok sa kwarto.
"Hey El!!"
Tumayo ako at tiningnan si Geo... "Go back and watch the situation in your land."
"Oh C'mon." Reklamo nito,
"Go back, Now!" Seryosong saad ko at sinamaan siya ng tingin
"Fine! Fine!"
Pumasok ako sa kwarto... I found her lying on the bed while staring at her magic device.
"What? What? Suntukan?" Saad nito ng mapansin ako ....
As if she can win?
"Anong pinapanood mo?"
Tiningnan niya lang ako at hindi nagsalita.... Tumayo ako sa gilid ng kama....
I remember her lying on Geo or Laila's back.... Why can't she do it with me?
What's so good with them?
Why?.... Why can't she do it with me too?
I leaned.... "Anong pinapanood mo?" I said, but my eyes still on her.
"You're acting weird? Sinapian ka ba?"
I frown....
I heard her chuckled. "That's the Aqua I know .... Anyway, It's an anime."
I tilted my head.... I decided to lay down beside her ....
She smells good too....
