Denver's POV
I didn't expect being the new elected president can affect my new eating schedule. I have experienced enough near death experience because of not eating on time.
Therefore, It was added to my goals this years.
(Step 2: EAT ON TIME)
but on the first day, it was broken.
I was told to get each students information. Things like Age, Birthday and more. There are 35 students in this class including me. Why am I the only one doing this? Where's Rum? Where is the Vice president.
Thank god, Rein and Lei as officers helped me. Maybe they know my goals. But it's still not right that the Vice president is not here. (I hate him)
12:00 noon is my favorite time, for it means Lunch.
After saying goodbye to our adviser, I immediately went out of the classroom and headed directly for the canteen.
The three of us are now rushing to meet our other friends. We've wasted so much time getting information from our classmates.
I don't usually eat with Rein and Lei since they have other group of friends waiting for them. So instead, I eat with my other friends.
This group of friends are the ones I consider as best friends. Not only because we've been friends for four years, but having them arounds makes me feel that I am not the most stubborn student in our batch.
just kidding.
I feel comfortable when they are around. Like my problems are gone when I'm with these people.
From the second floor of the building, I used the stairs located at the right side of the building, to Go out.
Even before reaching the exit of the building, I heard someone shout my name.
"Denveeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!!!!!" out of nowhere a girl shouted.
it was my dear friend Sue. Well, this is normal. She is always the one who's with me every time. She is my guardian angel.
I was quite surprise about Sue being late for lunch, She's not the type of person who dreams of becoming a leader. She's more of a supermodel type of student.
"What took you so long?" I asked Sue.
"They elected me as the President!" I can sense Sue's disappointment in her voice.
I didn't have to ask. we both know what class presidents do in the first day of school. So from now on, the two of us should work together.
We're both already hungry, so the two us quickly went to the canteen.
The canteen was already full by the time we arrived. All seats were occupied by both boys and girls. Both Seniors and freshmen. I'm not sure though if all of them are film major. There is only one canteen in this school, even if its really big with lots of courses for college.
I held hands with Sue to make sure none of us gets lost in this big canteen.
I was confused where to sit when a group of people shouted our names.
"Denverrr!! Sue!!!"
We immediately turn our heads to the direction of the voice and found them. There they are. My Friends.
Seeing them made me want to sit down immediately. So I ran to them and directly seated, with sue on my right side. I waited:
5...
4.....
3...
2..
1.
Johan: How are you!
Timothy: How's your summer!
blanche: oh ys.. I went to Boracay..
Sue: Yaz how is it?
Dhaine: Omg hey!! yah yah!!...blahhh..blah...
After 5 seconds, all of them started talking. I'm now used to it. come on, I mean 4 years together? how can you not?
welcome to my club. these are the people I love the most. We are together in all happiness and sadness. and also when one of us encounters some fight, in which the enemy always surrenders.
I remember Last year, when Sue entered a modeling competition. Someone from social media saw her picture and started calling her names. Of course, as her friends we won't let that happen.
I told Johan, our techy friend, to search any good informations about the person. things like school, life and other infos.
Timothy, our smart friend, made a 3 paragraph trashtalk about that hater. which was then posted in Facebook by our social media influencer friend, Dhaine.
Blanche, Our rich friend, together with all of us, went to the front gate of the hater's school. we waited for her there and told her not to mess with our friend ever again.
you see, you never mess with any of my friends or we will come up with another teamwork.
It's nice to have lunch with this people. it maybe take time since we talk a lot, but talking with these people is fun.
"Congrats, Mr. president" Dhaine said annoyingly.
Of course, The news has reached them before me telling them. This is ordinary. sometimes, they receive news about me, one week before it reaches me.
"Come on guys, I hate it" I replied.
"Why do you hate it? During high school you even fought for the position of Student body president!" Said Sue, confused.
"And also, the Batch president Position last year" Johan added.
and they are not wrong. It's my dream to lead others, be someone they look upon, and be someone that has the ability to control things. Well it was.
"After all that happened last year? I am no longer interested in things like this. Since it almost got me kicked out of this school."
All of them nodded in agreement.
it was indeed a traumatic experience getting almost kicked out for things you didn't even do. Especially since I worked so hard getting in here.
I'm sure that issue will be brought back in a few months, since students here are like detectives. It was already proven that I'm innocent, but it actually caused some damage in my reputation. There were three students involved with that issue. Only one got lucky. The other two unfortunately got kicked out of the school, forever going to live in shame for what happened. until now, I still wish that the two of them are ok.
"Well, you're kind of right. Even I got depressed for you" Johan Tried to cheer me up.
its good to have this kind of friends.
The talk was good, even I forgot to get food.
I fall in line to get food. As always my choice is 2 cups of rice and my favorite Fried chicken.
As soon as i got it, I returned to our table and started eating.
It took me a while to finish my food, since my friends had a lot of questions about my life. Even if they already know the answers for most questions.
"Hey, I heard you're in the same class with Rum Ocampo" Dhaine said. She's always the gossip queen.
The others looked at each other excitedly.
"Yeah, what's with him?" I asked.
"Why is it a big deal for everyone. So what if he's in the same class as me?"
"Girl you don't know?" Dhaine replied. She always call me "Girl" or more like " Ghorl"
"Know what?" I told her. Confused.
"About him, being the son of the school's chairwoman. And also the sponsor of the building your classroom belong. He's actually the reason why we have film and photography in this school" Dhaine said
So he's the principal's son. Ok.
Ocampo building = Rum Ocampo. Ok
I appreciate the information, but i already heard those things earlier in the classroom. They are not the only ones who's very interested in Rum Verdell Ocampo. I think they should start making a fans club.
"I heard he's a middle child. He has an older brother, who is a graduate here. And a younger sister, who started studying here this year, with the same course as me" Sue added.
"And also he just broke up with her girlfriend. He is single at the moment so Denver i think you have a chance."
I am not surprise why Rum's face is like that. Maybe its because he's broken hearted or he's a middle child. But those things doesn't concern me at all. My goal is too study and get good grades.
"Eww.... I like guys and all. BUT HE IS NOT MY TYPE" these people love to tease me.
They think every guy in this campus is my crush. But no.
"and also-"
"GUYS!!" I shouted.
"I appreciate your stories, but I'm not really interested in him. I don't even care if we are classmates. I don't want to cross paths with him actually. he smells trouble." I told them
I hate the part where I'm being shipped with someone who made my first day miserable.
"I was about to say....." timothy continued.
"what?"
"that he is coming to our direction." Johan interrupted and they started arguing.
Timothy: Hey!!!! I was about to say that.
Johan: I said it first!!
I didn't have time to concentrate to their conversation at all. My mind was distracted I cant even think straight. the only thing that was in my mind was " Rum is coming to our direction".
and he is. He look so serious while walking. Maybe he has a problem recently.
everyone was confused. I wasn't sure if he's really coming to me or its just a coincidence that someone he knows is nearby.
As soon as he was in front of me, my mind completely became empty. I don't even know what to say. I was getting paranoid. What if he heard everything they said about him? No that cant be right? but what if-
"Oww" Sue punched me in the shoulder.
"what was that for?"
"someone is in front of you and you're just staring at him" Sue explained.
I was really staring at him. I don't know what to do and what to say. Its like I'm facing a serial killer.
I faced him. trying to put a brave face. I noticed everyone in the canteen was looking at us. The whole place just went silent, Like watching a very thrilling movie.
"so, what- what's up?" My voice was trembling. I literally don't understand why I am so nervous.
We stared at each other for what felt like an hour before he started talking.
"why are you here?" I repeated.
his cold eyes stared at me like he's planning something.
"will you be mine?" He asked me. in a clear loud voice.
"what?" I looked around uncomfortably.
"I said, will you be mine." he repeated
As soon as he said it. The whole canteen went crazy.
