Stories That Will Make U Fly, Sigh and Cry
Newton's Law of Motion.
First Law of Motion states that every object at rest will remain at rest and objects in motion will remain in motion unless there's an external force acts on it
Yan ang definition na nakabisado na natin sa nakakarinding Science lectures. You never ponder upon it until mahulog ka sa kanya.
"Hi... Seulgi Kang. Transfer student."
You didn't pay attention dahil busy ka sa notes mo. You always didn't pay attention. Kahit pa nagtitilian silang lahat... You didn't mind her sitting beside you, near the window. You didn't pay attention kung gaano siya ka Goddamn good-looking o kung ilan silang inilipat dahil subalit dapatwat... You own everyone's attention.
Irene Bae...
Consistent valedictorian... School's hottest chick... Baka matapos ang buong chapter kapag inisa-isa mo pa lahat hawak mong titulo.
"Velocity, acceleration, momentum and force are vect- the acceleration of an object is proportional to..."
"Irene, lets go?"
"Lunch?"
"Yes"
"I'm sorry... Pero need ko kasing mag-"
"Oh come on... Alam naman nating ikaw parin ang mag to-top kahit hindi mo itake ang test ngayon"
"I forgot to review my notes kagabi si Dad kasi..."
"Well let's go, you need to eat"
"Wan..."
"I wont let you starve yourself"
Binibiro ka na ng lahat... Kahit kasi close to perfection ka na. May isa paring kulang sayo. Yung bagay pa na pinaka least sa priority list mo as of now.
Lovelife.
Sino bang hindi magtatangka sayo? You're rich, you're smart... You're obviously one of the prettiest girl in school. Achievements and title... Nasayo na lahat pero never kang naging sa kanila.
Lahat sa cafeteria napa "ooooohhh" and "woaaaah" nung naatrasan ka ng nasa harap mo sa pila dahilan para matapon sa uniform mo ang pagkaing nasa tray.
"" bulong mo.
"Holy cr- sorry!"
Agad siyang yumuko para pulutin ang nalaglag na kubyertos at nung nagkatapat kayo... Mata sa mata... Alam mong siya na.
Dapat galit ka. Tama lang na pinalibutan siya agad ng karamihan sa nagkakagusto sayo. Pero bakit ganito?
You didn't have the strength para magalit sa kanya nang ilipat niya sa kanyang daliri ang sauce na tumalsik sa collar ng uniform mo and tasted it.
Seulgi Kang... Such a trouble.
Right then and there... You first handedly experience the physics of so called
Love.
You are that tiny object... Moving at a constant speed and she was that freakin' external force Newton always warned you about.
"Lunch?"
"No... Uhm next time"
"Irene?"
"Sige na Wan. Una na kayo"
And you choose to stay there sa upuan mo... Not to review notes...
Not to write unfinished task...
Not to read the novel in your hand.
Kundi para lang pagmasdan siyang nakahiga sa crumpled sheets ng libro at mahimbing na natutulog.
Late classes.
Not because you over slept.
But because you saw her around the campus and you choose to watch her silently instead of going straight sa room.
The way she close her eyes enjoying the sun.
The way other girls trying their way para magpacute sa kanya.
You make your dad wait for you for few more minutes tuwing uwian... Dahil nakikita mo siya na basang-basa sa pawis habang nakikipag laro sa new found friends niya bago umuwi.
Every little thing she does...
'What's with you?... That I'm so mesmerized with?'
Bit by bit nakakaramdam ka ng mga bagay na dapat di mo maramdaman.
You're annoyed of everyone na nagpapapansin sa kanya.
You're frustrated na sa dami ng atensyon na natatanggap mo sa lahat... She never bat an eye sa ganda mo.
Kahit pa nagrereport ka, sa board siya nakatingin at hindi sayo. O kapag nagrerecite, she never give you the attention you want. Wala siya sa mga pageant mo at never nagpaparticipate sa mga activity sa school.
You...feel... Insecured. For no reason at all.
Baka kulang ka sa ganda. Baka pangit ka talaga. Baka hindi ka enough sa standards niya.
