Chapter One
I just finished posting another chapter of my story and was about to log out, when a notification popped and I saw a familiar name.
Corvan de la Rosellevienne commented on your post.
Corvan de la Rosellevienne and Winter Reine Dela Fuego liked your post.
For the last weeks, about three weeks after making my account and experimenting and going around RPW, Corvan de la Rosellevienne, an IC or In-Character role player of the male lead of a series I know and a fan of, starts filling my notifications bar. I have quite the number of fans now, but I remember him because not only he is so active that he's always around when I post something, but also because his port is very rare. Tingin ko nga, siya lang ang may port at account na tungkol sa Celeste Academy series, a series I read in Wattpad that I very very like.
Dahil hindi naglalabas ng port ang writer ng series, ang mga profile pictures at iba pang pictures na ginagamit ng Corvan account holder ay mga own drawings daw niya, base sa mga binigay na description ng Filipino author sa tauhan. And I won't lie, he's really good. I draw a lot, myself, pero he's way, way better.
I'm really intrigued about his operator. I mean, I only know a few boys that like and read in Wattpad, actually he's the only one (if! If he's not a crp). Not only that, he's also so good at drawing. And last but not the least, he knows his way around words, from sweet talking (based on his comments on my posts) to wholesome stories.
Wait, am I having a crush over someone I don't even know what the gender is? No freaking way!
I immediately closed my laptop in panic without even checking the comment.
I. Am. Not. Having feelings over someone on the internet. Hell no.
I put my hands over my chest and closed my eyes. Heart, you gotta calm down. What the heck?! Ganito na ba ako karupok?!
I tried to even my breathing and relax. Imposibleng nagkagusto ako sa taong hindi ko kilala. We don't even talk. He just comments and I like his comments, no replies at all. How can I feel something like that towards him?
To get away from those thoughts, I just force myself to focus on answering my assignments and sleep after.
I closed my eyes when I finished editing the pictures and putting Sunny Sonmi on it. It's still 6:30 in the afternoon, and I usually update around 7, so I decided to scroll around my newsfeed.
Kung ano-anong memes ang nakita ko. Madami ring shitposts. I saw a few writers, even saw some IC. I just finished watching a video when I saw a post from Corvan de la Rosellevienne. It says, "Hope my own Valeriana notices me soon."
Nakakunot ang noo ko dahil doon. Hmmm… who is he referring to? Is there a Valeriana Kerrigan roleplayer around. That's kinda impossible. Not everyone reads the Celeste Series at the same time does RP. Well, we don't actually have the same list of friends, so I don't know. I just shrugged and posted the update already as it is time to do so. Natulog na ako pagkatapos dahil natapos ko na ang assignment for the whole weekend kahapon.
The next day, after school,I did the same routine I've been doing these past few days. I'll reread the last two chapters I wrote and create another one to post. After a few minutes of writing and editing pictures and stuff, I posted it on my timeline again. Not even a minute passed and Yve liked my post. Of course, she knows when I usually post updates because we're classmates. After Yve, marami pang naglike at nagcomment. Surprisingly, no Corvan account liked and commented on my newest update. Weird. He's late. Normally, he's the first one to like and comment on my stories, if not second to Yve. Maybe he's just busy, but that's quite a first.
The next day, before going to school, I checked my account and saw that Corvan liked and commented after all. Just that he was super late about it. I post updates around 7 in the evening because my classes usually end at 4-5:30, depending on what day. And he saw my post around 11 in the evening, pretty late for someone who's always early.
I liked his comment and finished getting ready for school. On my way there, I met Yve and we tagged along. We talked about our latest update and my plans and stories to come. We became closer after I created my RP account. We had a lot more to talk about now. Like boys in RPW that showed interest to me.
"Eh 'yung Corvan dude? Nagchat na sa'yo?" biglang tanong ni Yve. Kunot ang noo ko sa tanong niya.
"No. At bakit naman niya gagawin?" tanong ko pabalik.
"Halata namang may gusto din sa'yo 'yun momsh. 'Wag manhid," sabi niya at agad na bumati kay Manong Guard pagkarating naman sa gate.
"Good morning po Kuya," bati ko din dito na sinuklian niya. Parehas kaming nagscan ng ID at hinayaan sila Manong Guard na kunan kami ng temperature, for safety measures from COVID19. Muli akong bumaling kay Yve pagkalagpas ng gate. "At pa'no mo naman nasabi? 'Wag ka ding assuming 'te."
"Para naman kasing hindi halata. Suportado ka n'un 'te kahit anong post mo. Laging nagkocomment at laman ng notif mo. Tapos, updated pa siya sa lahat ng adventures mo na nilalabas mo sa RP. Alam niya lahat ng pinapaalam mo sa madla, 'ni wala siyang nilalaktawan at kinakalimutan. Kahit ang birthday ni Sunny alam niya. At kung kailan ka nagstart magsulat. Kahit ang unang story na sinulat at dinelete mo, kabisado niya. 'Yun ba ang hindi gusto?" Natahimik ako sa sinabi niya, napaisip. Hindi naman siguro. Pero pa'no kung totoo? Argh! Bwisit!
"Ano ka ba, baka fan lang talaga siya ng katauhan ni Sunny." Iniba ko ang topic pagkatapos, pero napaisip pa din ako. Pa'no kung gusto nga talaga niya ako? Ano ba 'yan! Kung ano-ano na iniisip mo Ara! Get a hold of yourself!
