Alluring Javis Leoniro

Chapter 6

I immediately waved my hand at Yra when I got out of the car.

We didn't have our bond yesterday as I told her that I was not feeling well.

I am wearing a black scarf around my neck. There are some red spots... thank goodness those red spots flattened today as I put some ointment on, medyo namumula na lang.

Sabay kaming pumunta sa class namin ni Yra.

"Shantal?"

"Yes?"

"Alam mo na ba yung kukunin mong course?" she asked.

I put my bag on my chair and sat. Yra did the same beside me.

"Hmm?" I think of something to say.

"Wala pa," sabi ko na lang.

"You? Do you have something on your mind?" I asked too.

"I'm kinda thinking too, pero plano ko naman na kung ano yung course na kukunin mo ay doon din ako." I shook my head.

"I told you, get what you really want."

I cocked my head to my right side when I noticed she was quiet.

"You think of something," I stated.

"I am not sure yet. I want to be a psychologist?"

I stared at her for a moment. I was about to say something, but our professor for our first subject came.

"Good morning class. Please pass your assignment after we start our lesson for today."

Umingay ang mga classmate ko. May iba na bumubulong-bulong dahil patapos pa lang sila sa pag gawa ng assignment, kanina lang nila inumpisahan nang wala pa yung professor kanina.

May iba na legend at nakikopya na lang talaga.

Nasa pang gitna yung upuan namin ni Yra ngayon.

Alphabetical yung seating arrangement namin sa ibang class at magkahiwalay kami ni Yra dahil Vallamero ang surname niya at Mallari naman yung akin.

Kaya kapag sa ibang class na walang seating arrangement katulad nitong first subject namin ay nakikipag palit ng seat si Yra kay Zicky na seatmate ko talaga.

"Akin na assignment mo, sabay ko na sa pag pasa." I nodded and gave my papers to her.

Lumakad siya papunta sa harap at nilapag sa teacher's table yung assignment naming dalawa.

Nakita kong kinausap pa siya ni Ms. Gen dahil siya ang secretary ng class kaya siya yung pinaayos ng mga papers into alphabetical arrange.

While I am the class representative or the president, There are too many tasks on our shoulders, but I can carry those as long as I am with Yra, because even if we have numerous differences when it comes to attitude, we still feel each other in other ways.

I stared at Yra's back while arranging our assignments.

I know she really wants that course, but she is hesitant to take it because of her past.

Before I came into her life, she was bullied. I protected her until now because I am the one who can fight for myself as long as I am on the right stand.

Si Yra kasi hinahayaan niya lang na maliitin siya ng ibang tao at sirain kahit na alam niya sa sarili niya na wala siyang masamang ginawa.

Pareho kaming iisang anak lang ng mga magulang namin. We are both pressured by our own parents in different ways.

Yra got depressed before we became close friends. Her parents don't like her generally, especially her father, who always beat her when she was a kid.

I don't get her father's reason. Yra was a miracle child because her mother couldn't have a baby... but Yra came into their liives... and his father wants a boy, kaya nang bata siya ay hindi matanggap ng dad niya na babae siya at mahina raw, kaya nabubugbog.
