Under Possession

Chapter 2

 His words left me stunned for a couple of seconds. My mind couldn't work properly as I stare at his serious face. Until he suddenly laughs so hard while pointing at my face which brings me back to my senses.

"What the fuck is your problem?" I groaned out of annoyance but he just keeps laughing really hard. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms to my chest. Umupo ako ng maayos at sumandal nalang, hinintay ko na lang na matapos siya sa kakatawa bago ko siya sinulyapan at tinignan siya ng masama.

"Seriously, what do you want as payment?" I stared at him, blankly.  Do I look like a joke to him?

"Nothing really. Just wanna be friends with you" Then he smiled sweetly. Natigilan naman ako dahil sa kanyang ngiti, parang there's something different.

"What if I don't want to?" I raised my eyebrow, his sweet smile remained

"Oh Darling, I don't take no for answer" He faked a British accent, then he chuckled lightly. Hindi ko naman mapigilang mahawa sa tawa niya.

Maya-maya ay tumayo na siya at pinagpag ang kanyang damit. "I have to go, may klase pa ako. See you later, friend!" He tapped my head before he left. Tahimik ko lang siyang pinanood na umalis.

Maya-maya ay naisipan ko na din na umalis dahil magi-start na ang next subject. Habang naglalakad lakad ay may ibang masama ang tingin sakin. Why the fuck are they glaring at me?

Pagdating ko sa classroom ay napansin kong iba sa aking mga kaklase ay tinitignan din ako ng masama kaya naglakas loob na akong tanungin ang isa sa kanila.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked calmly.

"You bitch, mukha ka lang tahimik nasa loob naman pala ang kulo mo!" Nanlilisik ang mata niyang sabi sa mukha ko. That stunned me for a second. Did I do something so bad to be called a bitch?

"What are you saying?" I stayed calm dahil hindi ko pa naman nalalaman ang dahilan kung bakit sila nagagalit sa akin.

"You're flirting with Finneas!" Another girl from my back said. I turn around to face her. I'm not sure who's Finneas but I haven't talked to any guy today except Mr. I'm-Not-Poor. Finneas, huh? Hulaan ko, may kapatid siyang Ferb ang pangalan.

"Did you see me with him?" I asked her.

"I didn't but someone saw you and took a picture of you and him while laughing" She shouted to my face, I don't like it when someone is shouting at me, it makes my blood boil.

"Do you even know the reason why we talked?" I raised my right eyebrow.

"N-no, but you guys were laughing so you're obviously flirting with him" She stated while glaring at me. She's really getting into my nerves. Oh, poor baby, I'll finish what you started then.

"Did you see me touch him in a flirty way like the way you touch men when you're desperate to be fuck?" My face is blank as I said those words to her face. I see how her face turned red. I heard some whispers and gasps.

"E-excuse me?!" Mukha naman siyang tinamaan sa sinabi ko.

"Do you have proof that I did that?!" She shouted again.

"Exactly my point" I smiled, Kahit inis na inis na ako. Mukha naman siyang naguluhan.

"I didn't even touch his hands, how come you say I'm flirting with him?" I asked her, slowly losing my smile.

"See, you don't have any proof," I said in an as-matter-of-fact tone. Hindi naman siya nagsalita at nanatiling tahimik, hindi makatingin sa akin ng deresto.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Maya-maya ay tinanong ko ulit siya.

"N-no" She blushed.

"Then why are you acting like a jealous girlfriend?" I raised my right eyebrow. Hindi naman na siya nakasagot at napapahiyang tumakbo palabas ng classroom. I heard some gasps and whispers around the room, but the room became quiet when I looked at them. Tinignan ko naman ang pintong nilabasan nung babae, nakita kong nakatayo doon ang susunod naming prof. He's glaring at me like he's saying "What the fuck did you do this time?" Uh Oh

Nagsiupuan naman na kaming lahat at tyaka sinimulan ang susunod na test. Muntik na akong hindi makatapos dahil nahirapan ako sa mga tanong pero umabot naman bago matapos ang last ten seconds. Pagkatapos ng test ay nagsi uwian na kami dahil half day lang naman

Pagkalabas ko hindi na mga matang nanlilisik ang sumalubong sa akin kundi mga bulungan naman. Hindi ko naman mapigilang mapairap sa hangin.

Hindi ko na lang sila pinansin at nagdere- deretsong naglakad papuntang parking lot ng school. Nang maalala kong nasiraan nga pala ako ng koste at pinakuha ko na iyon sa tauhan namin. Naiinis ko namang kinuha sa bulsa ko ang aking phone para magpasundo. Maya-maya ay dumating na nga ang hinihintay kong sundo. Dahil boring sa byahe ay nag facebook na lang ako, sakto namang pagbukas ko ay bumungad sa aking ang sandamakmak na notification, puro mentions ang mga 'yon. Mukhan alam ko na 'to.

And I'm right. It was the picture of me with Mr. I'm-Not-Poor and we're laughing. I sighed and turn off my phone and just stared outside the car window. 

My phone vibrated kasabay ng pagtunong ng messenger tone. My brows furrowed as I open my phone. It's a message request from Zyair Finneas. I didn't open the message and turn off my data and turn off my phone.  Napapikit ako nang mariin out of annoyance. 

What the fuck I've got into?
