I Love You, I hope you know ( ONGOING)

I was in a hurry walking to the classroom at that time. I'm obviously late because my older brother didn't wake me up. again. I haven't had a proper bath because of the fact that I'm doing my very best to arrived as early as I could. But pretty obvious, I didn't make it. When I woke up earlier I wasted no time and I immediately took a shower, got dressed and had breakfast. Mom and Dad and even my older brother are gone. They left early again, and they didn't even wake up. I even received texts from my best friends, Natalie and Brenda. They were already at school and based on what they said in the text. I was even more in a hurry. I walked fast, glancing steadily at the watch on my wrist. The reason is that I didn't realize that I was meeting someone and accidentally bumped into him. "Come on! My bad." I said to myself. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." I hurriedly picked up my fallen belongings. When I finished picking up my belongings. I just looked at whoever I had bumped into. It was as if I was statuesque in my seat when I saw the man I had bumped with. I felt myself at those times, especially my heart. My heart was not beating fast nor my hand was anxious or shaking. All the signs of how to know that the person you met is the one you, never happened. No, my heart is just calm. Why is it like that? "Internet is a liar." I said to myself. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." He apologized. I just smiled at him. Before I could stand up. I heard him speak again. "I'm Maru... You are?" He smiles. But instead of introducing myself here, I couldn't do it. When I heard the bell ring. I remember the reason why I’ve been in such a hurry ever since. "I'm sorry, but I need to leave." I hurriedly ran to the classroom on the third floor. Why is there no elevator to make it easier for me to climb? The bad luck continues. "Nice meeting you!" I heard him shout. I just waved my hand to say goodbye. I even secretly smiled when Maru's face suddenly entered my mind. I just shook my head becausf thought of him smiling. Why is it that what Internet told me about the signs are all wrong? "Where are you from? Why are you late for the first subject?" Instead of answering Brenda's question. I just ignored her, for now. She's sometimes conyo. So that's why I don't talk to her that much. The fact is, Benda is not a pure Filipino. She's half Australian. The truth is that, only Natalie really became her first friend. She transferred from a private school, and it turned out that Natalie was a friend. She was able to befriend Brenda so she join the two of us, and up until we moved up to Seniors, Brenda was also our partner. "Why are you late for the first subject?" Natalie's impersonation of Brenda. Brenda was upset because of what Natalie had done to her. I just laughed at what Natalie was doing to Brenda. Her face was still begging, she turned to me, as if asking for help with Brenda's teasing. But I just ignore their childishness. "Why are you like that? You two are so mean!" She complained that made Natalie and I laughed even more. "Why are you like that? Achuchuchu!" I tease "Hey, don't be like that, Nat." She just stared at Brenda. She's is currently drinking the juice juice she bought. While I was busy playing with the fork on my plate. There was no food. When Brenda spoke again. "You guys are mean to me..." She snout "Because we're beautiful." Natalie answered confidently "No one's asking!" She ordered me to take her side "We're the ones I told to join and then you'll drop me. Oh, I'll be fine." I heard Brenda scoff. "oh, you're moaning? What do you want Australian? Conyo, You're beautiful too?" She asked Brenda stiffly. I just rubbed my forehead because of what was happening. As expected, they will argue again about who is better than them, and if they are not satisfied, I will be with them. "I'm so beautiful!" It was Natalie "Its me!" Brenda crossed arms and looked seriously at Natalie who was also busy eating her food. "Me!" "Me!" "I am, Brenda!" Natalie was obviously annoyed "Me, me, its me, its me!" Brenda's snickered "Why not? Ask Noelle? So we can find out who?" Natalie challenge. They both look up to me. Both are waiting for my answer. Brenda who look at me, raising one of her eyebrow. Natalie, who's with her food, stops and I saw how she played her food using her fork. I don't want them to quarrel because I will be affected again and I will be stuck on who I side with. Both of them are childish, hardheaded, willful, best friends. If there's anyone more okay with that behavior, it's none other than Brenda. While Natalie, she lives her life. Believing in a saying; "What Natalie wants, Natalie gets." I was about to give them an answer when the group of women near the entrance of the cafeteria suddenly giggled. The three of us immediately looked at why there is such a noise at the entrance. Only to find out, a young man who looks like the same as our ages. Entered the cafeteria, as the girls continue to giggle with glee. But instead of averting my eyes on the guy. I frowned at him as he walked to the empty table. Isn't that him? The man I collided with earlier? The man who introduced himself as Mario? Malasado? What's his name again? My mind was busy deciphering his name. When I heard Brenda talk. "He's here! Maru Gonzalo is here?" She couldn't believe what she's seeing. Which made me turn around in her seat. Just like any other girls inside this cafeteria. Her eyes were also on the man who entered alone. Others started to, giggle in glee.. While there others who start gossiping. It seems like they are saying something that they don't want others to hear. "You know him?" None of my own question to Brenda. She gave me a big smile as she turned to my seat. If only the eyes could make hearts. Hearts would have come out of Brenda's eyes a long time ago. I saw how Natalie roled her eyes at her. This one doesn't seem to have moved on from their conflict. My attention returned to Brenda when she suddenly pulled one of my hands away with a tremor. "Ouch! Why are you pulling?" I angrily asked her that she just retaliated with a light slap on my arm. "Girl... Your teenage days are the loneliest part of your age if you don't know that guy." She answered my question earlier. "Why?" I asked innocently. I could hear Nat holding back her laughter. "Seriously?" Nat asked dryly. "That guy is Maru, Maru Gonzalo. The lead vocalist of the famous band not just in this school, but also in my previous schools." She stated making me turn my gaze at the guy— Maru. I thought it was Mario or Malasado. "Just like I said, he's the lead vocalist of The Breakers. And swear, Noelle, their band is famous! Not just famous. But super famous." She added. I kept looking at Maru who's sitting alone at the table. It was as if he's was waiting to come. Because he kept glancing at his watch. "He's so kind, you know. He's very gentleman, and smart and he's talented when it comes to playing instruments." I didn't pay attention on what was Brenda's blurbing about him. I just kept looking at him. Until a female student approached him. She was a nerd, and based on her demeanor. She was obviously embarrassed to approach her. . "The audacity!" I heard Natalie say to Brenda but still I kept my eyes on the girl and to Maru. I saw her handling him a paper. "Is that a love letter?" I asked myself after he took it from the female nerd. Just as I look surprised. The woman was also surprised because he accepted the card. I still thought he would not accept it. He smiled at the woman, as if she was still holding back from jumping and screaming because of what he had done to her. A few seconds passed and the woman left and returned to the table where she was sitting. I saw Maru open the card. So the rumor began. "Is he really going to read it" One of our nearby tables said "Maru is really handsome." Another said, "How many more letters can that be?" I heard Natalie's question. So I turned to her. "I heard yesterday that he received a gift from a fan of his. And would you believe that? It's a plane ticket to Palawan?" My eyebrows met and I stared at Nat. She noticed my face so she smiled. "Oh, so we should form a girl group! All three of us as well." She smiled sheepishly as she tried to change the subject. But instead we focus on what she said. We were surprised when Brenda suddenly screamed. Natalie and I were both shocked, we even stared at each other before we were able to cover Brenda’s mouth. Natalie was confused. So am I. Even the students in the cafeteria were staring at our seat. My hands were still covering Brenda's mouth. While Nat, is slowly losing her patience. Oh! C'om on! What's going on? A few minutes passed as I removed my hand from covering Brenda's mouth. Nat, came back to her seat. Trying to calm herself. Oh did I forget to tell you, that she has an anger issue. It's easy to get her angry. "What are you doing, Brenda Suzette Wilden?" Natalie's voice was obviously restrained from shouting. But instead of Brenda worrying about Nat's question, She just answered with a grin. I remain silent. I don’t want to say anything. I don’t feel like it. "What's with you? You just saw Maru like that?" "Not my complete name, please?" Brenda giggle. That sounds stupid. Nat's nose was already smoky because of what Brenda was up to. The scene was quite interesting and fun. "Tse! I don't know about you! Zachary is just more handsome there!". Natalie's artistic promise Brenda stared at the absence. While I was thinking about what Natalie said. Who is Zachary? Is that Maru's band? Eh, why do I only know this now, In fact, I've been here at this school for a long time. "Someone's thinking who's Zach is." I turned to Nat because of what she'd said. She's staring at me. Seems to be examining my face. "Who's Zach?" I asked "She's Natalie's crush, dude." Said Brenda "Ha? You have a crush?" I couldn't believe my question to Nat. She patted my forehead. "I told you, don't you think, reduce your being a good girl. That's why you're not updated on my love life." She seemed blaiming me about what she said. Well for me I enjoy my single life until I will finally find that right love and right person for me. I just winced at what she said. "I was just busy... But it's okay that I know now. But who's he?" Brenda stood up. So I turned to her in surprise. "Recess is over.." she said sparingly and looked at Maru's place. He secretly smiled "Come on, Noelle... Don't think about Zach anymore. I should be the only one to think about him." Natalie put her arm around me. "You'll also meet him. They'll perform tomorrow. I'm sure I'll see him as their drummer." There was pride in Natalie's voice before we started walking out of the cafeteria. Oh great. So both of them find their crushes while I. I'm still busy figuring out, how and trying to find that right person for me.
