The way it ended.

EPISODE 1

Ace's POV

"ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, TO THE LEFT! TO THE RIGHT!" Teacher Jeff was shouting because we've been doing the same steps for 30 minutes already and Trisha still can't get it right.

"TO THE LEFT-" we stopped dancing when teacher Jeff stopped talking . "Trisha I said left right?" teacher Jeff was just asking but he looks intimidating already.

I know Trish really wants to cry. Her eyes is watering. I ran to the bleachers to get my handkerchiefs and lend it to her. She started crying when I gave it to her.

Teacher Jeff was just looking at me. "Time of the month" I mouthed. He just sighed "Trisha take a rest first" Trisha nodded while her face is still covered with my handkerchiefs.

I know she's feeling shy with the fact that a lot of people is staring.

"You guys too, we should continue this tomorrow" teacher Jeff announced before leaving the school gym.

I sit at the floor even though the bleachers was just at my back.

It's already 6 pm but we're still practicing. School festival will be starting in march; that's why we're having tough practices because we only have 3 days left before the school festival.

"Ace, I'll get going! Thanks again for what you did earlier!" Trisha waved a goodbye with me before getting inside the car.

I was walking on my way to the waiting shed when rain suddenly starts pouring. I ran fast so I could get there without getting myself full wet.

A lot of people were running on their way to the waiting area. When I got there, I was stuck in the middle that's why I was getting pushed by people.

"s**t yung project ko tangina naman" I heard a girl reclaimed beside me. Despite her low tone of voice, I was still able to hear it.

Tinutulak narin ako ng mga tao pagilid, that's why I just decided to give the space to them. I ran to the convenience store near the waiting area to dry myself.

When I entered, I saw the gummies part of the store. That's why I decided to buy for my little sister. I saw the girl entering the store. She was the girl from earlier.

Naririnig ko padin ang reklamo niya. She's talking to someone on phone habang pinapagpag ang damit niya. "Tangina uulitin ko nanaman yung project namin. Bwiset kasalanan to ng dumbell namin na leader eh. Shuta wala nanaman akong tulog neto mamaya." I can hear irritation from her voice.

She was getting ice cream. Really? Ice cream in the middle of hard pouring rain? Interesting.

"Lalabas nako baka nabasa pa cellphone ko ibababa ko na" she said before getting outside the store.

She looks familiar I just don't know why. Maybe I saw her in school. We're school mates; she's wearing the uniform of our school. That tells.

When I got home I immediately started studying. Exam week is getting close that's I'm starting to study even though I'm not feeling well after our tough practices and getting rained earlier.

I woke up not feeling well as I expected but I have to stand up to get ready.

I was walking on my way to school gym and everyone's greeting me. I almost forgot that today is valentine's day only if a girl didn't stopped Infront of me to give me rose flower.

I was able to get inside the school gym carrying 7 roses on my hands with some cards. My nose is itching.

"Naknampucha heartrob ka naman pala idol eh" Hiro teases me as soon as I got inside

"Pakyu ka" I just responded

I look at the crowd on the bleachers. Why is there so many people today?

"Ikaw ata hanap ng mga yan idol" Hiro whispered in my left ear.

"Tangina mo nakakakilabot ka ha. Para kang gagong manyakis"

"Grabe ang sakit mo na magsalita" he acted like he was deeply offended

Even when there's a crowd in the bleachers one person caught my eye. The girl from yesterday. Naglalakad siya pababa ng bleachers; she looks annoyed. When she got down a guy gave her a bouquet of flowers.

3, 2, 1.. she sneezed. Oh, she's allergic to flowers I guess. Why do I even care? I saw how he talked to the guy before coming back to her seat earlier.

"Okay okay attention!" I ran back to the stage when I heard teacher Jeff.

We started practicing and as usual, it was a tough practice again. We barely even have a time for water break. You see, our school is very competitive. Every school festival they won't let the other school win specially in festival dance as it is the highlight of the event.

School festival is almost everyone's favorite event. No classes, that's why. But aside from that they can make friends to two other school's students. The Ramos National Highschool and Lazal National Highschool. Our school is named Quilezo National Highschool. I heard that the owners of these schools are friends that's why they made this event back in 2005 until now. We celebrate them every school year during March. It's not really a good timing because after a fun event , hell week is coming.

But still, I managed to ace both of them every school year. I'm in fond of dancing and making my parents proud that's why I always try hard.

People started leaving when its starting to get dark. But I can still see the girl from yesterday. She's on her phone smiling. When she looked at my way I immediately looked at Hiro; And I regret doing that. He's already looking at me with some teasing in his look.

"You're so annoying" I said

"Kilala ko yun bro" he pushed my shoulder to tease me more.

"I don't care" I replied

"She's part of the sports team" he said "Volleyball" he added.

"Why are you telling me that?" I hissed.

I looked at her again. She doesn't look sporty at all.

"Sige bro fool your self" he once again pushed my shoulder.

I hate arguing with him, I never win. I just give him my annoyed look.

After practice dumiretso na ako sa bleachers kung saan ko nilagay yung bag ko. I grab my water to drink. I saw the girl from earlier getting her bag that was 3 chairs away from me. When I looked at her she noticed that I was looking at her that's why she looked back. Mukha namang badtrip kaya pagharap sakin ay naka salubobg pa yung kilay niya. Less than 2 second her face turned from annoyed to shocked. Why would she get shock seing me.

I saw her nose are getting red. "Are you okay?" I just had to ask. "Your nose are getting red" I added. I can see that she was trying to calm herself.

"My nose?" She asked before using her phone as a mirror to look at herself. "s**t" it was a whisper but loud enough for me to hear it.

"I'm also allergic to flowers" I shared before lending her the cream I use whenever I'm getting allergic reaction. But mine isn't really that worse they only react with some bunch of flowers.

"U-uh.. how did you know.. I'm allergic to flowers?" She asked.

I was taken aback with her question. How should I put this. "I saw you earlier" I answered honestly "The boy gave you a bouquet of flowers and you sneezed. So I assume you're allergic to flowers" I answered trying to be calm.

Why would my heart beat this fast when I'm literally telling the truth?

"Oh.. b-but yeah! I'm allergic to flowers"

I nodded "I'll get going then" I smiled at her before walking pass through her.

"Hoy Sabrina! Tawag ka ni coach!" Someone yelled

Sabrina...

I held my chest. Why are you beating this fast. I just shook my head before heading out.

~~~~~~~~~

I'm already home and as usual no one's home. Only me. I headed to my room to take as shower before studying.

I was studying when my phone rang. It's Hiro. I mean I already expected that, no one calls me except Hiro.

"Hey dude" he even prolonged the last 'e' ine the 'dude' which sounds extra annoying.

"What do you need this time" pinatong ko yung phone sa table ko at sinandig sa wall.

"Grabe tol kailangan agad parang ang bastos ha" he sounded like he was very offended "Tinawagan lang naman kasi kita para asarin ka" i know. "Gago ang landi mo kanina tol ha nakausap agad naknampucha kaya idol kita eh"

How did he even saw that akala ko nauna na siya "We just talk it's not a big deal" I reasoned.

"Not a big deal my ass nakangiti ka pa nga kanina" he was teasing me by the sound of his voice.

And for your information I just know that I wasn't smiling earlier. My heart was beating fast but I know I wasn't smiling.

I showed Hiro my middle finger before ending our call. He even called back but I just muted him and sent him a voicemail saying 'stop bothering me I'm studying'.

I studied until I feel sleepy.
