--N--


For a guy like Nathaniel "N" Franquis Alvaro, the start of a new school year has so much to offer. It was actually worth the wait. In fact, he was so excited about everything that the senior year has to offer. But the thing that he was so excited about is the possibility of seeing his beloved princess. Yes, his princess, the thought of her made him smile. He sighed. He’s being cheesy again. He looked around and he noticed a bunch of girls looking at him. He waved at them and then he faced away. He was pretty popular to the girls. He wondered if they knew that he doesn’t really care about them, would they still like him. He chuckled. His guess would only hurt his ego.

“Hey N!” some one shouted. He looked around and found his friends, Gene, Three and Ortiz. He waved at them.

“I’ve been looking for you guys. So are we in the same section?” asked as they exchange shake hands.

“Nope. As usual, they scattered us. Gene and Ortiz are classmates, you’re in Quezon and I belong to Osmeña.” Three explained. He made a face.

“They always do that.” He commented. The three guys agreed with him.

“Come on, we’ll be late for class.” Gene said.

As they walk towards the fourth year department he noticed the freshmen, the sophomores, the juniors, and even the senior girls looking at them. The girls love them --- literally. Every girl on this school will do everything just to be branded as their girlfriends. But does he care? No, not really. He only wants to be with one girl. And that is his princess.



--Keith—-

Going back to her school after a scorching hot summer, gave Katherine De Lara a big head ache. She wished that she was as excited as the freshmen students, but she just couldn’t.

“These people are so superficial.” Keith mumbled after hearing her classmate’s comment about Nathaniel Alvaro being on their class.

“O, dung, ngiwi na naman yang mukha mo?” Jaye greeted her with a warm smile.

“Nah….hey what do you say about Nathaniel Alvaro being our classmate?” she asked Jaye. Jaye looked at her.

“Hmmmnn… he’s pretty popular but he’s just like us noh. He’s just an ordinary normal student here in Saint Anne Academy.”
Keith smiled. She patted Jaye’s shoulder.

“I’m so proud of you.” She smiled so proudly. It’s not that she despised Nathaniel Alvaro but she just don’t like guys like him. Masyado na kasing lubog si Nathaniel Alvaro sa kasikatan nito. In other words, isa si Nathaniel Alvaro sa mga taong hambog sa kanyang listahan. She shook her head again, why was she wasting her time thinking about nonsense people. So she just made herself busy, observing her classmates movement, never fail to entertain her. And that was when she saw Nathaniel Alvaro entering their classroom. Suddenly the chattering stopped. Girls gasped upon seeing him, guys looked at him with envy. She sighed, why do people care about labels so much?

“Excuse me?” a voice came out of nowhere. She looked up and she found Nathaniel Alvaro looking at her. “Is the seat taken?” Nathaniel Alvaro asked her. Everybody was looking at them, she knew it, but she doesn’t really care. She knew that every girl on their class wants to be this guy’s seatmate. But she’s not one of them.

“No… but I don’t want you to seat here, so go find another seat or seatmate or whatever.” She grinned at him. It was obvious that the guy was surprised with her reply. But still, he tried to give her his sweetest smile. “Ang plastic naman nito.” She thought.

As she watched Nathaniel Alvaro turn away, Keith wondered what he thinks about her. But then she realized that she doesn’t really care.

“Whatever, he’s dumb anyway.” she whispered.
