High School Love

Chapter 1:

The hallways of St. Augustus High School whispered with tales of unspoken affections and secret admirations. Amidst the bustling crowd, Marga, a petite yet radiant honor student, remained unnoticed in her first year. However, as the seasons changed, so did Marga. With each passing day, she unraveled her talents in languages, numbers, and dancing, transforming into a gem waiting to be discovered.

Jorge, a tall and athletic presence on the basketball court and badminton court, found himself captivated by Marga's allure. The shy honor student became the subject of his admiration, prompting him to navigate the intricacies of her schedule to be near her. Slowly, he unveiled his feelings, dedicating a year to court the most famous girl in St. Augustus High School. When Marga finally agreed to be his girlfriend in her fourth year, Jorge's joy knew no bounds. They became the power couple that everyone admired. Jorge is the proudest everytime Marga went up on stage as the First Honor every honors day. He is always there to be Marga’s number one fan. Aside from sports, Jorge also is a singer and guitarist. He serenades Marga everytime she passes by on the halls leaving the crowd in awe for such a sweet act. Marga has enjoyed those sweet moments in the campus everyday. This made Marga and Jorge the standard couple in school.

However, as graduation day loomed, the cruel reality of diverging paths emerged. Marga headed off to college, leaving Jorge behind for a year before his own graduation. The miles between them grew into a silent adversary, testing the foundation of their love. Despite their best efforts, the strain of distance proved too much, leading to a heart-wrenching end to their nearly two-year relationship. The echoes of their unfulfilled love lingered, leaving them both with aching hearts and an uncertain future.

Years drifted by, and Marga and Jorge found themselves standing at the crossroads of their past and present. Both had evolved into accomplished professionals, yet the specter of their unfinished love lingered. Single once again, they crossed paths, igniting a spark that refused to be extinguished. Marga once again take Jorge as her boyfriend for the second time around. They both promised to love and respect each other.

The reunion brought forth memories of stolen glances in high school corridors and shared victories on the stage. Tentatively, they rekindled the flame that had once burned brightly. Yet, as life's complexities unfolded, Jorge's career took him to Manila, creating a chasm that proved insurmountable. Distance had been the villain before, and now, it returned with a vengeance.

As Jorge distanced himself physically, he also distanced his heart. A girl who had a crush in him unveiled the frailty of his commitment, and with a heavy heart, he severed the tie that bound them. Cluelessly, Jorge slowly confirmed to Marga he has someone else. Marga, devastated once again, wept for the love that had eluded her. Through that heart breaking time, she vowed to erase him from her heart, a painful promise made in the solitude of her grief. She has become too angry with love that she wish not to fall in love again. She crossed her fingers uttering words of pain and misery on those days of her life.

The echoes of their shattered love story reverberated, leaving readers yearning for closure. Would time heal the wounds or would fate weave an unexpected twist, giving Marga and Jorge a chance at the happy ending that had long eluded them? Only the unfolding chapters of their lives would unveil the answers. Wait for chapter 2.
