The Campus Hearrthrob Kings and Me

Writer's note: This is still unedited. Meaning, a rough version. Hope you'll love the story. Thank you and God bless! ------ Racelle PoV Dalawang tulog na lang pasukan na naman. Haist, ang bilis talaga ng panahon. Parang kahapon lang ay second year high school pa lang ako and this coming school year, third year high school na ako. Medyo close ko na rin ang mga Heartthrob Kings na pinagpapatasyahan ng mga tao sa Famous Academy. Aaminin kong guwapo sila, pero wala akong gusto sa kanila kahit isa, hindi! Parang may bet ang puso ko. May itinuturing ako sa limang mga 'yon na special friend. Si Tristan Padilla, kamag-anak niya ata si Daniel Padilla. "Hi bakla!" napatakip naman ako sa tainga ko ng marinig kong sumigaw si Jerome. God! He's so annoying but friendly by the way. Napatingin naman ako sa gawi nila. Ano kaya ang ginagawa nila dito? "Racelle!" sigaw naman ni Estella sa pangalan ko. She's miss genius pero umulit siya ng second year high school niya dahil sa kaguluhang nagawa nila Jerome, 'yon 'yong sabi niya sa'kin. "Yeah what?!" bungad ko sa kanila. Sila ang unang kaibigan ko when the day I transferred to the Famous Academy. Makulit sila na kahit ilang beses mo na silang itaboy, sige lang sila. Kahit ilang beses ko na silang pinagsabihan na 'leave me alone!' They act like they didn't hear anything what I said. I have a trust issues, love issues, family issues, friend issues since then. Delayed ako, dapat nga this coming school year, fourth year na sana ako kaso I stopped. I was just depressed and I've been bullied in my former school. "Sunget mo naman sa'min. Don't act like that dahil alam naman naming minsan ka lang masungit." sabi ni Jerome na tumawa pa. Madaldal na assumera at masungit ang baklang ito. Guwapo siya at maraming nagkakandarapa rin sa kaniya pero ang bet niya puro lalaki. Sinayang niya lang ang kaguwapuhan niya. Bakit lahat ngayon ng guwapo, bakla? At bakit lahat ngayon ng guwapong lalaki, manloloko na? "Sorry, hindi lang ako sanay na may kaibigan ako. Alam niyo naman na-bully ako," sabi ko sa kanila. Estella closed her book that she's holding a while ago and she sat beside me. "Usapang nakaraan na naman tayo." sabi ni Estella saka ngumuso. "Mabuti pa, kumain na lang tayo doon oh." sabay turo ni Jerome sa isang fast food chains na nakahilera sa tabi ng kalsada. Lumapit naman kaming tatlo doon. "Anong gusto mo?" tanong ni Jerome sa'kin. Manlilibre sila. "Uhm, isaw at barbecue na lang," natatakam kong sabi at kumuha na ako ng tig-dalawang barbecue at isaw. Hindi ko gusto 'yong liver, 'yong ulo ng manok at paa. Mas gusto ko 'yong pinili ko. "Ako, 'yong paa na lang ng manok. Gusto kong tikman 'yong lasa saka uhm... dalawang isaw din po." sabay kuha ni Estella roon. Nandidiri kong tiningnan Estella na kinain niya 'yong paa ng manok. Ano kayang lasa niyan? Masarap ba? Eh, nakakadiring kainin. "Ano masarap?" nandidiring tanong ni Jerome. Lokong 'to siya ang nag-aya sa'min tapos siya ang madidiri. "Oo, ang sarap! Tikman mo dali!" sabay offer niya kay Jerome. Kumagat naman si Jerome at hindi mo ma-spelling ang mukha niya. Masarap daw naman eh, bakit ganiyan itsura niya? Ako, wala akong balak tikman 'yan. Kuntento na ako sa isaw at barbecue. "Eh ikaw? Bakit hindi ka kumuha ng kakainin mo?" tanong ko naman dahil kahit ni isa ay wala siyang kinuha, nakikihingi na lang siya sa'min ni Estella. "Ah eh... Wala akong pera." at ngumiti siya ng nanghihingi ng paunmahin. Anak ng! Edi sino ang magbabayad sa binili namin? Wala akong dalang pera, 20 pesos lang dala ko, pamasahe pauwi. "Ano! Tae ka naman Jerome! Wala akong dalang pera dito!" sigaw ni Estella na natataranta, hindi na niya alam ang gagawin niya kung ibabalik na ba niya yong kinakain niya sa ihawan. Patay! Paano na? Wala rin akong pera dito. "Huwag ka ngang sumigaw! parehas lang tayong walang pera, pero wait! May isa pa tayong chance," sabay nguso ni Jerome sa'kin. Wengya! Gipit ako guys! Napalunok na lang ako. Lumapit ako sa tindero at tinanong kung magkano lahat. "Kuya magkano po ba lahat ng kinuha namin?" "Php 45 pesos, miss." kumindat pa sa'kin si manong medyo napaatras naman ako nang kaunti. Mahirap na baka tumuklaw, eh. Nasa mid 40's na lumalandi pa sa mga babae, sus! Mga lalaki talaga, o. "Utang na lang po muna kuya, wala kasi kaming dalang pera," sabi ko sa kaniya na nag aso eyes pa ako. "Miss, alam kung maganda ka pero iba ang negosyo sa chic's kaya kailangan magbayad kayo," sabi niya. "Ano kayo sinusuwerte? Kukuha kayo tapos hindi niyo alam bayaran? Kayong mga bata naman kayo oh, porket maganda kayo dinadaan niyo na sa puppy eyes ang lahat." dagdag na sabi pa ni kuya. Napakagat labi naman ako sabay kamot sa ulo. "Aba si kuya! Maghintay ka! Babayaran ka namin!" sigaw ni Jerome. War freak 'yang baklang 'yan, mag-iingat ka kuya baka ilipad ka niyan sa charisma niya kuno. Nandilat na lamang ang mga mata ko. "Kuya holdap 'to! Taas leeg!" sabay lapit ni Estella habang nakatutok 'yong barbecue stick. "Bakit taas leeg?" tanong ko 'di ba? Taas kamay dapat. Iba naman ang VERSION ng holdapers na 'to. "Wala siyang leeg, eh, kaya itaas niya ang leeg niya para makita!" natawa naman ako sa sinabi ni Jerome. Haha. Mapanlait talaga ang mga bakla. "Ikaw bata ka, ah! May leeg ako hindi lang kita." sagot naman ni kuya at dinuro niya si Jerome. "Asus! Wag ka ng mag deny. Kitang-kita na wala oh," at kinapa pa ni Estella 'yong leeg niya. "Malibag pa." dagdag niya. Jusme! Kapag sila ang kasama mo, talagang mapapaaway ka at saka tatawa ka. "Makapanlait kayo wagas, ah." sabi pa ni kuya. "Jusme! Hindi po sila nanglalait, nakita lang po nila ang katotohanan." singit ko naman at nagsitawanan kami. "Aba't sumusobra na talaga kayong mga bata kayo, ah! Lumayas na nga kayo sa harapan ko't huwag niyo ng bayaran ang kinuha niyo! Pinapa-high blood niyo ang tao!" nagsitakbuhan naman kaming tatlo. Nang nakalayo-layo na kami ay nagsitawanan na naman kami at nag-apir pa. Gano'n lang pala ang technique, eh, para hindi na kami pagbayarin. "Akin na lang 'yang isa mong barbecue, Race." sabay hablot sa'kin ni Jerome. Wengya! Hindi man lang hinintay na iabot ko sa kaniya. "Salamat!" sigaw ni Jerome. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako, dapat isaw na lang 'yong kinuha niya. 'Di bale na nga. "Oh saan na tayo pupunta? Ayaw ko pang umuwi sa bahay eh, ayaw ko pa rin naman magbasa ng libro." sabay kagat ni Estella sa pagkain niya. "Gusto ko ng umuwi pero nandito kayo kaya hindi pa ako uuwi. Saan tayo pupunta? Sa mall na lang." pag-aaya ko sa kanila. "Gora!" sigaw nilang dalawa at saka nauna ng naglakad papasok sa mall si Jerome samantalang si Estella ay humawak sa'kin na parang bata. Pumasok kami sa mall, may nahagip ang paningin namin. Omo! Don't tell me may concert sila dito sa mall. How famous are they. Napa 'ow' ako dahil sumasayaw sila sa gitna. "Hoy! I'm talking to you!" sigaw ni Estella kaya napunta ulit sa kaniya ang atensyon ko. "Ha? 'Yong mga Heartthrob Kings ba ay marunong sumayaw at kumanta?" tanong ko. Ngayon ko lang kasi sila makitang sumayaw. (Song Playing: Dessert by Dawin) Ang cute nilang sumayaw. Mas lalong nadadagdagan ang kanilang kaguwapuhan. Ang hot nilang sumayaw, pero mas hot sumayaw sina Tristan at Justin. "Ha? Oo naman. They're talented." ang sumagot sa tanong ko ay si Jerome. Ang galing talaga nilang sumayaw! Paulit-ulit na 'yong sinasabi kong magaling dahil 'yon naman 'yong totoo, eh. Sa pag-indak talbog lahat! Sila ang winner. Teka nga, why I'm like this? Am I fan girling them too? Tss, never! "Wow! 'di ba sila 'yon?" sabay turo sa limang naguguwapuhang lalaki na sumasayaw ng seducing dance dessert. Hindi ko aakalaing marunong din pala sumayaw 'yong ICE KING nila na ubod ng sungit sa'kin. "Oo! Oh my gulay! What are they doing here? Ba't parang may mini concert sila dito. Ano na namang trip nila?" sunod-sunod na tanong ni Estella. Oo nga naman, ano na namang trip ang meron sila? Eight months na ako sa Famous Academy at four months ko na silang friend KUNO. Oo, feeling close 'yong apat sa'kin. Ilang beses ko na rin silang pinagtabuyan gaya nang pagtataboy ko sa dalawang kasama ko ngayon, pero dahil lang sa isang group activities na lagi akong nagiging ka-grupo nila, ay biglang nagbago ang pananaw ko sa kanila. Hindi naman sila mahirap pakisamahan, si Kitian lang ako nahihirapan. Tiningnan ko siya na kasalukuyang sumasayaw sa gitna. Shet! Hot nga siya at guwapo nga, ugali naman niya ibang-iba ang dating. You might turn off on his attidute. Mata pa lang niya masungit na. May iba't iba silang ugali, ginoogle ko pa ang background nila no'ng second day pa lang ako sa Famous Academy. Famous sila sa lahat, kahit lumabas sila maraming fan girls, girls mga babaeng magkakagusto agad sa kanila pag dumaan lamang ang limang ito, pero sa f*******: ba, ewan ko lang. In-add friend ko na sila except sa ICE KING, baka kasi sabihin na naman niya sa'kin na in-stalk ko siya. Inilabas ko ang phone ko at nag-browse ako sa website ng Famous Academy para basahin ulit 'yong background nila. Welcome to Famous Academy's Website Tapos may logo ng school at may mga pictures na ginagawa pa lang ang school at mga pictures ng mga former principal and pictures of students who have their awards and honors. At saka mga valedictorians and salutatorian nila every school year at kung ano ano pang info's tungkol sa Famous Academy. "Famous Academy was build in year 1985." sabi ko. Saka nag scan ako sa gilid at hinanap ko ang info na dapat kong dadalawin at mabasa ulit.

HEARTTHROB KINGS FACTS HEARTTHROB KINGS are consisting of five eligible Heartthrobs. They are such talented Kings, by singing and dancing can make many girls scream and fan girling feels. And as the matter of fact, they're not just talented and heartthrobs because they are the son's of well-known families. As of this year we decided to add them in the list of our Famous Academy website to know them well, because they brought some uniqueness in our campus, that's why our school became more popular aside from the name of the school. Here are the information about them. Mike Zarate Among the five he was entitled as "CASANOVA KING" because of courting many girls and making girls cry because of his habit of courting a girl. According to William, he's the rebel son of Zarate family.

If he's not courting girls, you can find him eating along with William. He believes that food is life and food is his girlfriend. He never had a serious relationship before, until now, so we're looking forward and a little bit excited if who is the girl he would court and he will love that he can never let go. Cooking is his hobby also, but laziness always in him. A mood maker Casanova king but he's easy to get pissed off in someone's joke.

He's not that too slow, sometimes only. But he said once that he wanted to change his alias into "GENIUS KING" because he believes that reading books it makes him a genius, but he didn't change it anymore. Because he's still 'King'. Reid is a happy go lucky guy. A mood maker among the group, he can make anyone laugh by being slow and his jokes, but he made cutting classes in some reasons.

Many girls fall in love with his hot seductive dance, plus his six packs abs. Diaz was a womanizer also, but it's also unbelievable that he doesn't have any relationship before. He's still the virgin, which we mean is he is still NGSB. His dream girl is opposite on his attitudes, but she had a little weird side, mature and having a pretty face and most of all a good character.

Otherwise, they keep supporting him in a material need, even his parents has been separated. His family owned an electronics by his father's government. Someday he wants to become an architect. Kitian Bentley He is the "ICE KING" among the five. Actually, he is really peevish ever since, 'since fetus', he confessed. Bullying, rude, joking sometimes, doing cutting classes, the sweet emotions that's what he is before. But he's totally a bipolar guy, you can describe him weird also. Because he easily gets bad tempered most of the time and he doesn't like loud people. He wants to be alone and just sleep all day instead. He became more ice in a certain reason that he cannot say it in public if why he is becoming like that. But based on the story of his friends, they stated that because of the love he became colder. Perhaps, he is mingling also with them sometimes before, but he changed a lot. Somehow the four friends of him believe that the old Kitian has a big possibility would back if he meet a girl who will love him forever. Cooking is his hobby also but like Mike, laziness have had always on him.

Ayaw ko silang panoorin dahil baka malaglag ang panty ko. "Ah, nothing." I answered. Napatango na lang din 'yong dalawa at ibinalik ang tingin nila sa panonood ng sayaw nila. Napadako ang tingin ko kay Kitian. Is this true? Is he looking at me? Umiling-iling ako at ibinalik ang tingin sa kaniya. Yeah, he's really looking at you angrily. Pero bakit naman? Napatingin lang ako sa kaniya, ano namang masama doon? Ang babaw naman magalit ang isang 'to. Inirapan ko na lang siya at ibinaling ang tingin ko sa apat. Nag-uumpisa na akong maglaway nang biglang natapos na sila sa pagsasayaw. Sayang ang laway ko, salamat naman at pinigilan nila. "You can give a voluntary contribution even it's 50 pesos it's okay with us." sabi ni Justin na naglagay pa ng basket sa tapat niya. Nangungutong ang mga 'yan, huwag kayong maniwala. "Yang mga ibinigay niyong tulong ay ibibigay namin sa mga naghihirap na makahanap ng taong ka-forever nila." sabi ni Mike na sinabayan pa niya ng pagngisi. "Huwag po kayong maniwala diyan, basta maghulog lang po kayo para sa ikabubuti po nating lahat. Vote William Reid for president, salamat." pangangampanya ni William. Napailing ako ng ilang ulit sa lakas nang trip nila. Mga taong 'to naman nagpa-uto sa mga manlolokong nagu-guwapuhan. Asa naman kayong ibibigay nila 'yan sa mga nangangailangan. Pandagdag lang nila 'yan sa allowance nila. Pag nakalikom sila ng malaki paghahatian nilang lima tapos ibibulsa nila. Pustahan tayo, 'yon 'yong gagawin nila. Ano pusta mo? "Racelle, nandito pala kayo. Magbigay ka naman kahit isang—" I cut Tristan's speech. Wala akong maibibigay. "Wala akong pera." mabilis kong sagot pero tumawa lang siya. At bakit naman? "Pinutol mo kaagad ako. Just give me a friendly hug, namiss ko kaya ang bestfriend ko." he said sweetly. Tae! Bestfriend agad? Sa bagay siya naman ang pinaka-close ko sa kanila. Niyakap ko naman siya dahil 'yon ang gusto niya. "I miss you, Race," at yumakap siya ng napakahigpit. "Oo na, miss din kita." sagot ko at humiwalay sa yakap at umakbay sa'kin. Lumapit naman 'yong tatlo. 'Yong dalawa kong kasama ewan kung saan na sila nagtungo. "Yehey! Puno 'yong basket ng mga pera!" sigaw ni William na parang bata. Hindi niya bagay. "Yayaman na ulit tayo!" masayang sigaw ni Justin. "Hatiin na natin bilis, nagugutom na ako." sabi rin naman ni Mike. Ayon na nga hinati nila sa tatlo. Sabi ko sa inyo, isasama nila 'yong dalawa sa trip ng tatlo. Lokong mga 'to. Nawala na lang bigla 'yong dalawa. Ang bilis mangiwan. "Tristan, saglit lang ha? Hahanapin ko lang 'yong dalawa kong kasama." I excused. Tumango naman siya at naglakad na ako palapit sa direksiyon ni Kitian, pero hindi ko siya kakausapin natanaw ko lang naman kasi 'yong dalawa na kumakain ng ice cream. Mga sinungaling! Sabi nila wala silang pera tapos ano 'yong nakita ko? Kuripot naman nila. Aish! Malalampasan ko na siya nang bigla siyang nagsalita. "What are you doing here again?" sabi niya nang naiinis at pagalit na tono. What he cares?! "Malamang namamasyal." sagot ko na totoo naman. Mas lalong sinamaan niya ang tingin sa'kin, natatakot ako, pero hindi ko na lang pinahalata. Hindi siya nakasagot pero pinapatay na niya ako sa tingin niya. "Don't speak to me like that! Just walk away and don't look at me!" iritado niyang sabi. What he's problem? Ako na naman ang pinagbubuntungan ng inis niya sa kalokohang kagagawan ng mga kaibigan niya. Hay buhay! Saka anong mali kapag tumingin lang ako sa kaniya? Mamatay ba siya 'pag tumingin ako? "Umalis ka na nga sa daraanan ko!" inis niyang sigaw at itinulak niya ako nang marahas. Salamat na lang at hindi ako na-out of balance. Napalingon ako sa kaniya pero nakalingon din pala siya sa'kin. He raised his eye brow in a manly way. "What are you looking for?!" he said in a irritated tone and he rolled his eyes on me. "Hoy Kitian! What's going on again?" tanong ni Mike nang nandito na pala sila sa tabi namin. "Nothing!" inis niyang sigaw. "Your bad tempered again. Bakit na naman ba?" tanong ni Tristan sa kaibigan niya. "Why did you brought me here? Alam niyo namang ayaw ko dito! I thought we're going to your house and why are we here and doing something irritating kind of s**t!" "This is not my idea." sabi ni Justin na itinaas pa niya ang dalawang kamay niya. "It's William's idea and also Mike." at itinuro ni Tristan 'yong dalawa. "Hey chill man. We did this para naman hindi boring ang life mo... I mean life natin. Just relax dude. Gutom lang 'yan kaya ikain na lang natin." nakakalokong sabi ni Mike na mas lalong nagpasama ng tingin ni Kitian at bakit siya sa akin nakatingin? Hindi naman ako ang may kasalanan, ah. "And you!" nagulat ako no'ng ituro ako ni Kitian habang nakikipagsukatan ako sa pagtititig niya. "Why me?" tanong ko at itinuro ko rin ang sarili. "JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY, YOU STUPID IDIOT!" he shouted on my face. Naamoy ko pa nga hininga niya pero nanginginig ako sa takot kaya dali-dali akong umurong at hindi ko inaasahan ang nangyari na umiyak ako sa harap niya. Bakit ngayon pa ako umiyak? I don't want them to see that I'm a cry baby. "Don't cry like a child in front of me! Just go to your friends and don't follow us!" he shouted again pero pinigilan siya ni Tristan. "Don't be so rude to her. Wala siyang ginagawa sa'yo." Tristan said and the three agreed too. "Hindi ka niya inaano dude." sabi ni Justin na umakbay sa'kin at pinunasan ang mga luha ko. "Fine! Siya na ang bida! Bwiset!" at nagwalk-out na siya na dumaan pa siya sa gitna namin ni Justin dahilan para mapaupo ako sa sahig. Bakit siya gano'n?
