Chapter Four
It's eleven. Kanina pa ako kinakalabit ni Isaiah dahil hindi ko siya pinapansin. Math class namin ngayon at lalo lang sumasakit ang ulo ko. I don't think she likes me. Everyone hates me for good. Well, let's say except, Philip. But he wasn't around, he skipped the class after we went to school together. He took my hand and left Avis standing there. We ran together and I'm still wondering why he chose me.
I looked at Isaiah. She's wearing glasses and I don't think she has friends. Not bad, she's also good at class. She's smart and kind. I haven't seen her around the cafeteria. Perhaps, she prefers being alone?
"What do you want?" I asked and faced her. I looked at my classmates and they were all silently laughing at me. Tinuro ni Isaiah ang likod ko at doon ko nalaman na may nakadikit na papel. Kinuha ko ang papel at may nakalagay na word na Flirt.
"What the hell?" I whispered. I crumpled the paper and threw it on the floor. Nag-ring na ang bell at agad akong lumabas ng classroom. Lumakas ang tawanan nila kaya hindi na ako lumingon pabalik. I don't give attention to freaks!
Nakasalubong ko si Avis pagkababa ko ng hagdan kaya napangisi ako. Her arms were crossed and she stared at me with her friends. Magpapatuloy na sana ako maglakad pero tinulak niya ang balikat ko gamit ang isang daliri niya.
"So, I heard that you're hiding at me?" She laughed sarcastically. I closed my fist and clenched my jaw.
"Move," I stated.
"Hah?" she asked. Tinulak niya ako paatras ng hagdan kaya napaupo ako sa isang staircase.
"You're a loser." I bit my lower lip and gave him a glare. Biglang nagsilaglagan ang mga basura sa ulo ko at nakita kong tinapon ito mula sa itaas.
"Oops, Sorry?" She faked a gasp and laughed. Kinuha niya ang basura at pumunta siya sa harap ko.
"Honey, Stay away from Philip." Pinagpagan niya ang kwelyo ko at inayos ang ribbon ng uniform ko. "Or you will regret it," she added and gave me a smirk.
"That's it?" I hissed and raised an eyebrow. Tumayo ako at pinagpagan ang sarili ko. It wasn't his fault or mine. Why include Philip in our clash?
"So, that's all what you've got?" I smirked. Tinulak ko ang balikat niya gamit rin ang daliri ko kaya siya napaatras.
"Can't you do it alone? Nakakaawa ka," I whispered and pushed her back. I bumped his shoulder and walked away.
I reached the ground floor and immediately ran as I felt my tears flow down on my cheeks. I'm so irritated. I got out of the building and ran to the corner. I sat down and covered my eyes using my both hands.
I raised my head because I heard someone come down from the fence. Agad akong napaatras nang makita ko si Philip. He ditched our class or I don't know. Hindi naman kasi siya hinanap.
May lumapit sa aking kitten at nagtago sa palda ko. He climbed the perimeter fence for this cat? Wasn't that illegal? Saan ba siya galing?
I wiped my tears and looked away. "Can I take my Agatha back?" he asked. Napalingon ako sa kaniya at tinaasan siya ng kilay.
"Agatha?" I asked. Tinuro niya ang pusa sa palda ko kaya agad akong tumayo. Ayaw umalis ng pusa sa paa ko kaya hinila ko ang braso niya para alisin 'yon.
"Look, I'm allergic to cat's fur," I exclaimed. Kinuha niya ang pusa at saka tumawa. He stared at me and smiled.
"You're not allergic. Maarte ka lang." Hawak-hawak niya ang pusa at niyakap iyon.
"What are you doing at my spot?" he asked. Umupo siya at sumandal sa pader. Yakap-yakap niya ang pusa habang hinahaplos ang balahibo nito. Nanatili lang akong nakatayo sa harap niya kaya nagbabalak na rin akong umalis. Gosh, He looks like a gangster.
