The Boy she never noticed.

Chapter I

BULLYING seems like a norm nowadays, like it's almost part of everyday life. People are careless than what other people feel, throwing shades, hateful words and physical abuse. But Harmony is not the type of girl to be bullied, she's strong and fights back that's why she is hated by the most 'Famous' bully and beauty of the campus. Nevertheless, Harmony doesn't want to be caught up with their stupid acts. She just wants a peaceful life and to graduate with flying colors to make her Mama proud. She dreams that someday maybe, in another universe she's a rich billionaire who can just slap this chick whining in front of her saying how boring she looks as if she didn't know.

"When will you stop showing your stupid face in front of me?"

Harmony rolled her eyes annoyed, here she goes again mumbling of the things on how pretty she is, how rich she is, how she doesn't want to see her face. Like heck that's not her problem anymore. Who the hell told this chick to keep pestering her peaceful life as if she is the one who shows her face in front of her.

"Ahh so you're rolling your eyes on me?" Lula said flabbergasted at what she just saw. How can a loser like Harmony dare to roll her eyes on her! "Let me remind you na scholar ka lang ni Daddy dito!"

"Sayo na mismo nanggaling, scholar ako ng 'Daddy mo' dito." Harmony said emphasizing the word Daddy to let her know that she didn't spend a penny on her. Her father did but not her. "So if you'll excuse me, hindi ako pumasok dito para araw-araw makipag talo sa'yo"

The mocking laugh from the crowd who is watching the heated tension between Lula and Harmony echoed the hall. Halos sumabog sa pula ang mukha ni Lula da galit habang pinag mamasdan ang babaeng nag lalakad palayo sa grupo niya. This is not the end, She'll definitely get her someday. She doesn't know why the hell she is fuming mad with that girl, maybe because something inside her is jealous cause she can never surpass her grades? or maybe because of the man who she wants but could never get cause Harmony already got him.

"Why do you waste your time on some nerd like her?" Wika ni Ash. "I mean she's a nobody."

"I'll never stop unless she's gone." Wika nito at padabog na umalis.

HARMONY yawn, it's not that she doesn't like biology it's just that it's not her favourite subject. Nang tumunog ang bell hudyat na tapos na ang klase ay mabilis siyang tumayo at nag madaling umalis she still have a duty after class and she can't be late, kapag na late pa siya ulit ay siguradong mag bubunganga na ang manager niya.

"Harmony!!!" Sigaw ng bestfriend niya. "May raket tayo, naalala mo yung sinabi ko sayo last time about doon sa concert?"

"hmmm.."

"We got it! may free concert ticket na tayo kaso sa backstage." natatawang wika ni

Elody. "at ang maganda dito yung crush ko,

si Ares banda nila yung tutugtog."

"Sino yon?" inosenteng wika ni Harmony habang mabilis na nag aayos ng gamit niya sa locker.

Halos malaglag naman ang panga ni Elody sa sinabi ng kaibigan, who wouldn't know the great Ares Theodore Rivers.

"Aray!" reklamo ni Harmony ng batulan siya nito. "Bakit mo ginawa iyon?"

"Bakit di mo kilala si Ares?"

Harmony frown and rolled her eyes saka patuloy na nag ayos ng gamit. "Bakit dapat ba kilala ko siya?"

"Ah yes? Ares is the most handsome human being I've ever known. Saka anak siya mg may ari ng campus na'to!"

Harmony rolled her eyes even more. Hindi sa ayaw niya sa mayayaman it's just so happened na hindi siya interesado sa buhay ng mga ito pero etong kaibigan niya ay halos sambahin na yung mga taong ni tignan sila ay hindi magagawa. Malakas niyang sinara ang locker at tumakbo hindi na pinansin ang tawag ng kanyang kaibigan, sa sobrang pag mamadali ay hindi na niya napansin ang grupo ng kalalakihan na nag lalakad hall kaya ang ending malakas niyang nabangga ang isa sa mga ito dahilan upang bumagsak sila sa sahig. A gasped from the students around them echoed the hall, Elody ran towards her friend but stopped Midway dahil ang nabangga lang naman ng kaibigan niya ay ang lead vocalist ng banda.

"Oh my god..." bulong ni Elody habang nakatingin sa kaibigan na nakapatong da katawan ni Ares. "H-harmony..."

dahan dahan na idinilat ni Harmony ang kanyang mata na tila nahihilo pa dahil sa lakas ng pag bagsak nila. Her eyes landed on a pair of green deep orbs, pointed perfect nose and plum thin lips. His eyes were looking at hers as if she was some sort of a phsycho in front of him, gusto niyang lumubog sa kahihiyan sa mga oras na iyon. Mabilis siyang tumayo at pinagpag ang nalukot na damit tapos sy tumingin sa lalaking ngayon ay nakaupo na at nakatingin pa rin sa kanya.

"I'm sorry," she said. Inabot niya ang kamay dito na tinitigan lang ng binata. Harmony cleared her throat and was about to take her hand back ng abutin ito ng binata. "Pasensya na nag mamadali kasi ako."

The man just nodded and watched her running away as if she had been in a run or something. Amused the man shook his head and looked at his hand habang ang mga kasama naman niya ay nakatingin lang sa kanya.

"Are you okay dude?" Luke said while looking at his bruised shoulder. "May sugat ka."

He just nodded. "I'm fine, let's go may rehearsal pa tayo."

Tumango lang ang kanyang mga kasama at nag simula na ulit lumakad, habang siya ay nakatingin pa rin sa babaeng mabilis na tumatakbo hanggang sa nawala na ito sa paningin niya.

"Late ka nanaman? Harmony alam kong part time mo lang ito pero this attitude is not acceptable."

Nakayuko lang si Harmony habang sinisinghalan ng manager niya. she's working part time on a fast food chain dahil kahit naman na scholar siya at walang binayaran na tuition e may ibang gastusin pa rin siya sa school. Her mother is a fish vendor and her income is not enough to sustain everything. she needs to step up and help as if she had any other choice.

"Pasensya na po, may nangyari lang." wika niya.

her manager sighed in disbelief winagayway niya lang ang kamay niya signing for her to leave na ginawa na niya dahil baka mag bago pa ang isip nito at tanggalin siya. Her night was very busy Friday ngayon at napakaraming tao, minsan iniisip na lang niya na mas masarap pa ang buhay ng mga hotdog sa ref kesa sa kanya. She wasn't that lucky in terms of financial status but she's grateful to have her mother, dahil kahit na mahirap sila ay hindi siya pinabayaan nito. Ayaw nga siya pag trabahuhin ng ina ngunit hindi niya maaatim na hindi kumilos habang pinag mamasdan itong nakukuba na kakatrabaho ma sustain lang ang pangangailangan nila. After her shift she went to her favourite place, she dropped her bag and watched the city light.

malalim siyang bumuntong hininga at tumingin sa kalangitan, if her father was alive would he be proud of her? natatawa siya sa sariling iniisip ni hindi niya nga nakilala ang ama. Her mother just fed her with his memory, but she didn't have the chance to meet him.

"Ni hindi ko nga alam hitsura mo" natatawang wika niya.

she took the can of coke she bought before going to her comfort place at payapang iniinom iyon habang nakatingin sa malawak at maliwanag na siyudad.

"Pag ako maka graduate sinasabi ko talaga sa inyo!" Sigaw niya na parang may kaaway sa harapan.

She laughed to herself and sigh. Inubos lang niya ang coke at tumayo, it has been a very long and exhausting day for her. Hinahanap na ng katawan niya ang matigas na higaang papag sa bahay nila.
