Queen Of Damn

Extra Chapter -Vonne-

‡Flashback‡
(Two weeks after the SSC, three days before Pageant)

*Vonne*

The day was pretty much humid and warm. Medyo naiirita na rin ako sa mga kasama ko sa loob ng bus. The air conditioning inside was working, but because we were jam-packed, it felt useless. Sighing, I rested my feet to the side, I was sitting alone behind the last row of the bus. Sulking and deadly silent.

Having a terrible headache from the heat and my team's irritating theme song, I decided to turn my attention outside, adjusting my neckpillow then scrolled to my Spotify to find much better lists. I can't stick in one girl let alone a Spotify playlist.

A mellow song played, my favorite song. Actually my theme song at the moment. Then I tried to relax and find sleep. We will have a long travel due to traffic and other elements that make my mood pretty much grumpy.

As the song sang the chorus, I couldn't help but remember someone. That girl in my wildest dream. How I imagine her sitting next to me, lying on her lap while caressing my head with her gentle hand.

I would sneak from shut eyes, then smile, she will pinch my nose then trace the feature of my face, then I will catch her hand and put it to my lips, she will start giggling and I will sit upright then pull her closer, peeking in for any onlooker before stealing a kiss on her lips. Behind the bus, where we used to sit together, snickering and picking on unlucky ones to be our entertainment.

My eyes suddenly flustered open and realized it was just a dream. No, my lucid dream. There's no way she will be that comfortable with me anymore.

She hates me now.

Bigla-bigla na lang. Walang pasabi, dumaan na naman ang alaala niya sa isip ko. Hindi ko talaga magawang kalimutan ang mga araw na yun. Mga araw na sobrang masaya pa ako. Kapiling niya.

We used to be friends, best buddies. We shared a lot of common interests, sports and likes. I love everything about her. Her spiciness, cleverness, wittiness and her physical features. Being next to her is already a blessing but to keep her is more than wonderful.

I'm dying to really take her as my girl.

But, she didn't see the way I see her. She wanted us to just remain friends which really driving me crazy. Why can she just love me back?

Why can she just accept my love for her? Am I too much to bear for her? Am I not enough?

Sighing—again, I dropped listening to the song and snapped my headphones off my ears then sat up, contemplating before visiting my socmed accounts.

From my IG, to FB, to Tumblr, Twitter, Viber, and Messenger. Just to kill time and procrastinate. After mindlessly chatting to every socmed account, tweeting my boredom and leaving a post on my wall on Facebook, I turned to game, COD mobile.

After winning a game, our assistant coach announced that we were getting near to the venue. He even gave a mandatory reminder and some pep talk.

Everyone was chanting and mimicking the iconic answer from the high-grossing movie, 300. The roar before the bloodshed battle.

What a bunch of idiots.

We will just gonna do sports activities and beat them all, there's no need to humiliate themselves by doing those silly stunts.

Oh well, if that makes them happy. I don't fucking care.

"Vonne, sabi ni coach, magbigay ka daw ng speech, pampagana lang," may kumausap sa akin, habang ipinaparada yung bus namin.
