Chapter 9 - A Delinquent Fell In Love?!

Eric's POV:

I am Eric Sembrano, the one whom most female students go crazy about. Once they saw a glimpse of me, they will go shrieking loudly already. What more if I talked to them? I guess they'll cry out of too much happiness. I am a playboy and I like messing around with girls. And during Valentine's Day, I receive too many chocolates that I am just giving it all away to all my friends. Besides, I am rich so I can afford those chocolates and even more expensive than those ones.

The truth is, I have no interest in girls. In fact, they are annoying to me.

First: They always squeal with delight whenever they see handsome boys. Second: They always force themselves onto the boy they like. Third: They are too ambitious, silly and unreasonable. Fourth: They love to hangout somewhere especially in shopping malls just to waste their money on useless things such as fancy clothes, bags, etc. And lastly: They have nothing to do except for putting makeup on and make themselves beautiful.

My standpoint in life was to never get involved with girls deeply let alone love someone genuinely. Yes, I am always flirting with different kinds of girl. But that's it! I have no intention of taking them seriously. I just want to play with their feelings, that's all. But all of those things changed when I met HER.

She's not like any other girls. Because of her, some of my negative perspective towards girls have dissipated.

I first saw her during the opening ceremony. She is one of the three goddesses in our school that always get the top ranking in the whole school. The three of them were invited to become the speakers on that day. I can still remember clearly when she first held the microphone and said some greetings. She has an angelic voice and she's very simple. I can tell that she's really shy that time because her voice is shaking but she still had the courage to say something to encourage the students in studying. I don't know why but I suddenly felt like something strucked my heart when I first saw her.

Since then, I began to develop romantic feelings for her. I started to look at her from afar because I was too ashamed to get close to her because we're in living in different worlds.

But I had some courage to talk to her last year during the Valentine's Day. I gave her some expensive chocolates and a big boquet of roses. And as I expected, she only thanked me and nothing more. Not even a simple kiss or hug.

Just the other day, we bumped into each other at the canteen. I invited her to go to the infirmary with me but she politely declined. What a waste... It should have been my chance to be with her for a little longer. Her two friends were with her that time to accompany her outside the canteen so I didn't bother to force her to come with me. I just looked at her as her back slowly fades in my sight.

But I don't think I have a chance with her. She is a good girl while I am a delinquent bad boy. On top of that, I am also a playboy. But I have my reasons why I am doing all of this.

It's because of my personal experiences that made me do this...

Yes I am living a good life. I grew up having all the things I want. I mean, only one word and I will obtain anything immediately. But despite of the luxurious life I'm having, I still lack something ~ the feeling of being loved and being cared about. In other words, I am longing for affection. I never experienced being taken care of by my parents... They are seldom found in the house because they are either in their office or out of town because of business meetings. I can't even remember when is the last time I had dinner together with them. Maybe because I don't get any attention from them, something grew in my heart ~ it's hatred.

I had an urge to vent my anger on someone that lead me to the current situation wherein I just randomly pick some fights. Yes, I know that what I'm doing right now is not right. It's not reasonable to bully some people just because of my anger. But another reason for all of it is because I had some friends that influenced me to walk the wrong path.

Honestly, I am not a delinquent long ago... NOT until I got to know my current friends who accepted the whole me. They taught me so many things that I am not aware of. And that was the birth of the Bad Boy Eric.

Janna is the reason why I chose to change. I believe that it's not too late to correct all of my mistakes. I want to live a peaceful life from now on. She is my inspiration to change since I want her to look at me as a nice guy and not someone whom she will be scared of whenever she sees me.

I'll start to change and I will avoid my friends that teach me nothing but bad things. I'll also start to study hard and aim to get into the high rankings of my classroom.
