Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

**Lisa’s POV**

The last few remaining weeks of our classes were spent studying for the final exam of the second semester. If we pass all our subjects which I definitely will do, I am already in my third year of my course and Leon will be in his fourth year of his course.

I know Leon’s part will be much harder this coming year because most of his subjects will be all his major subjects. I just don’t know how he can cope up with his time having his game and studies. I can always understand his situation being an understanding girlfriend. I can only support all his endeavors in life no matter what it will be. I know time will not always be good for us to be together, considering his schedules and this will be the first test to our relationship. To be honest, I was apprehensive of what would come. Knowing that everything is not always bed of roses. Hoping we would pass this one.

Exam week had passed and almost all my classmates felt the pressure of anxiety. Not sure if they answered all the questions correctly or they could get a passing grade. The anxiety periods will be over once we get our grades pass or fail. Thankfully, Leon’s and my grades were all good, specifically in my situation, I could not get a grade lower than 2. 5 because of my scholarship. I would like to maintain my good standing as much as possible so that my father will not tell me that I have made a mistake in getting into a relationship that will distract my studies.

Vacation time has been a breaker of all the tension in studies. We enjoy our time together. We go on a date but only on day time and we make sure that we will be back before the end of the day. Leon’s family is going for a vacation to his father’s province in Pangasinan. He wants to take me on his vacation but my father rejected the idea. Though I wanted to come, I can’t do anything to change my father’s decision. While Leon was on vacation, I stayed at my mother’s home though Leon was always texting me of the places they have gone. I am happy for him for enjoying his vacation, so when he returns to school he is totally recharged.

Enrollment for the next semester is going on and all the vacationists are all back to the city. For us scholars, our department was kind enough to take our schedule and enrolled us to our designated classes for the semester. While others have to take the long que line to enroll. For the Athlete Scholars like Leon, their team manager is responsible for the enrollment of their team. So, there’s no need to worry for the scheduled classes to close.

Leon has returned to the city but we have not seen each other. His team mates have been asking me if I have already seen Leon at school. I told them I haven’t seen him yet since the start of enrollment. I don’t want to create a fuss out of the question, but I remain trusting him. His last text to me was that he was already in the city but he never texted me since then. I am worried, though I don’t know what came about that he became distant. I’ll just wait for his explanation, if that will come.

Time passed and the start of classes was approaching. I hadn’t heard from Leon though I had texted him so many times. I am deeply worried about him. Has something happened to him or something he was not ready to tell me? I hope none of those, because I cannot let my father tell me that ‘I told you so’ phrase.

Classes have already started and I haven’t seen or heard from Leon, even his team mates have been asking me about Leon. What could I say? He has never been in contact since he sent his last message, I need to be strong for whatever became of Leon or this relationship, I just need to wait.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

After two weeks of classes, I saw Leon’s car in the parking lot. Being excited to see him, I know that maybe he was at their gym. I went there excitedly to see him and asked him what happened. My shock came crushing me down when I saw that girl was embracing his arm and leaning on his shoulder. His both hands were in his pants pocket not holding the girl on his side. He was talking to his team manager, his back on me. My eyes started to become watery and started to cry when their team manager saw me. Before Leon could turn his back, I left the gym and went to the comfort room. There I cried and sobbed keeping my hands on my mouth not to make a sound of my sobbing. I was really hurt and devastated. I don’t want to see him anymore. There’s no explanation needed because I have seen enough of the lies and betrayal. I thought he loved me. I thought he cared for me. I thought he would protect me. What has become of those promises? It all became in vain and I was a fool to believe.

I left school after I got out of the comfort room. I need space to think and gather my strength to overcome this betrayal. I was hurt, really hurt. Being he’s my first, I have to keep myself away from opportunists who are going to play with my feelings. NOT AGAIN! I am going to close my heart this time. I don’t want to get hurt again. After sobbing and crying. I went straight home and I left school regardless of my class schedules. After I arrived home, my mother wondered why I came home early. I just told her I don’t feel well. I went straight to my room and I cried again until I fell asleep.
