Alluring Javis Leoniro

Chapter 8

Sabay-sabay kaming naglakad kasama si Yra pati yung apat na nang bully.

Nasa unahan namin si Javis para dalhin kami sa guidance office.

Pagdaan namin sa soccer field ay napatingin sa amin ang mga nag p-practice na ka-team mate ni Javis.

I saw Jandro running towards us.

"What happened?" Jandro asked Javis.

"They are my responsibilities, Cap. I will just guide them to the office."

Kahit nag tataka si Jandro ay tinanguan niya si Javis.

Jandro even gazed at where I was standing.

But I just avoided his gaze.

Sumunod ulit kami kay Javis at nakarating sa guidance office.

He reported what happened to us, and now we're explaining what happened.

They got each side of us.

And Javis told them what he saw— which I slapped and held the hair of these girls in front of me.

Yra explained her side too... na may nagpahanap din pala sa kanya after na may nagpahanap sa akin at doon na nangyari yung pananakit nila sa kanya.

I explained my side too and where it all started.

May kasalanan yung apat... pati na rin ako.

I stared at Javis, who never tried to look at me again.

"I know I am at fault, but I do not regret what I did. These four..." bitches, I want to add, but I tried my very best to keep myself. I continued, "girls in front of me hurt my best friend. They deserve it. And I am willing to accept my punishment."

"Okay, but you are still wrong, Shantal. You are a role model as you are one of the officers of the supreme student government of our university. You should tell us right away before taking any action. I am disappointed because, of all people, this happened to you, Shantal. Palalampasin ko ito sa ngayon, pero sana hindi na ito maulit."

I nodded. "Thank you, Ma'am."

And the teacher shifted her attention to these girls, who are now looking down at their own feet.

I silently rolled my eyes at them, and I saw Javis looking at me doing it!

Napailing siya na parang dismayadong muli.

"We don't tolerate bullies in our school. So I will give you one week of community service for what you did. I hope this will not happen again."

"Yes po, ma'am!" sabay-sabay na sagot ng apat na babae.

Kulang pa nga 'yan sa ginawa nila kay Yra. I can't really think of their own reasons why they did it. Alam kong bully na rin talaga ang mga ito noon pa. And I know they want to befriend me to gain fame, hindi na ito ang unang beses na nangyari sa akin.

Mabuti na pati yung student na tumawag sa akin ay kasama sa community service.

Sabay-sabay kaming tumayo at nag paalam.

"Thank you, Mr. Ravando, for telling us what happened," the teacher told Javis.

"It's my duty, ma'am."

Hindi ko na tinignan si Javis at hinila na lang papunta sa akin si Yra.

"Yrazina, let's go. I already informed Rizza that we would not be attending the meeting today. You need to rest. May galos ka sa mukha at sa braso mo," nag-aalalang sabi ko.

"Hayaan mo na, sanay na ako 'no." Mahina kong hinampas ang balikat niya.

"Anong sanay. Sabay ka sa sundo ko, deretso tayo sa bahay namin para gamutin ka, baka kung ano masabi ng parents mo sayo kung ganyan kang uuwi."
