I hate kids.
I mean I like kids but those kinds of kids that are well behave. Like kids that stay put in the place where their mother left them. Like kids who smile sweetly at you. Like kids that would only play with their friends that are also kids rin. Not like spoiled kids.
"Teacher Romee! Where is Kuya Ean?" Not like this kid, Trixie.
She's been around me this past few days. Always following me, asking where the hell Ean is. And this day is the fourth day! My god. I'm so close to hit this kid off, you know!
She is so demanding and the way she asked me is so irritating. How can a mere kid get into my nerves? Hindi ko alam kung saan ba ako mas naiirita, sa pagiging maldita ba niya or sa pagkakagusto niya kay Ean.
"Teacher Romee! Teacher Romee!" Tawag ng isang bata sa akin.
Napasapo naman ako sa aking noo. I shifted on my seat and look at the same boy who's been wanting to play with me for these past few days.
"Can we play again po? Pleaaaase."
And here I am again unable to decline the little boy's wish. Just who the hell can turn that cute face down? Certainly not me. Bryce has this cutest face I have ever seen in my entire life! He has this round cheeks and thin lips. His eyes is so big and his lashes! My god! Ang haba.
I sighed. My life is a mess. And who's fault is this? Wait that rhymed!
"Oh poor, Rome.." Scarlet engulfed me with a hug.
It's weekend and at last! I'm free. The girls decided to hang out with me here in our house. And it felt so nice to have them around. I really missed them. My god! I want to cry. I'm getting so emotional right now. Blame it on my period.
"My life is over! I can't do this anymore." I wailed as I tightened my hug on Scarlet.
"Hush now girl. Just one more week and everything will be back to normal." ani Adee
We are all here in my room. It's been an hour and they are still comforting me. And I felt so glad to have them. They know how emotional I can get whenever my period hit on. Pagkakita ko sa kanila kanina I just suddenly bursted out in tears.
"Saka mahal na reyna dala ko mga notes ko para ma-update ka naman sa lesson natin this week. If you want tuturuan din kita." ani Kaitlyn
Lahat sila nag-aalala sa akin. Kahit si Riley, even though she's not talking or speaking anything. She's worriedly looking at me naman. Oh how I love this girls so much!
Later on ay nakatulog ako sa kakaiyak. Nagising lamang ako because of the cramps. I hate myself talaga whenever monthly period ko na. Aside sa cramps sa puson ko ay nagiging emotional at super oa pa ako. It's like I totally transform into another person.
When the pain was gone I took my phone out under my pillow saka wala sa sariling swinipe ang name ni Kaitlyn sa contacts ko. I need my pet right now. Oh god, my head hurts. I slightly massage my temple while waiting for K to answer my call. After three rings ay at last sinagot niya na rin ang tawag.
"I want cheetos and pizza right now, please. Thank you." I sweetly asked and sniffed here we go again with my other side. I cut the call off agad and buried my face on my pillow.
I always call K anytime to buy me something pag may period ako. At dahil hindi siya mayaman at wala siyang pera ay nagsosolicit na siya ng pera kina Adee, Scarlet and Riley.
Tiningnan ko naman ang oras sa phone ko and it's just three in the morning. My god! Napabangon naman ako agad. My head throbbed because of it. Baka walang masakyan si K. Baka mapano pa siya. And it would be my fault! Ginulo ko buhok ko saka kinuha ang phone ko at swinipe ang name ni Kaitlyn sa contacts.
She didn't answer and that made my heart beat fast. What if it's too late? Oh my god!
Calling her again.. finally she answered!
"Hello?" Her muffled voice greeted me.
"K! I take it back. Just.. sleep ka nalang ulit, okay?"
"Romee?" She groaned. "I was just sleeping until you woke me up." She said
Napakunot naman ang noo ko. Ano daw? She was just sleeping? But I called her kanina lang.
"Huh? No I just called you and asked for cheetos and pizza." I explained
"Hindi kaya. Ngayon mo pa lang ako tinawagan." Her voice sounded a bit sleepy.
"But..but!" I stopped. Kung ganun sino iyong tinawagan ko?
"Epekto lang yan sa period, Romee. Tulog ka na ulit! Byeee." She cut the call off.
Napahiga ako ulit. My mind is still confused as hell. After 5 minutes of thinking deeply and blankly ay chineck ko iyong logs ko. And my eyes nearly pop out from it's socket while staring at the name of the person I called kanina.
Mr. SG President
Of course! Magkasunod lang ang name nila ni K sa contacts ko. Kaitlyn's name in my contact kasi is My Pet. My face heated as I remembered how I talked kanina.
My voice sounded so pabebe! I trash on my bed hoping to forget what I just did. Ano nalang ang iisipin niya? Romee! You stupid! Tinakpan ko naman ang mukha ko ng pillow saka sumigaw.
For sure he's already thinking right now how crazy I am. Wait he knows that I have a crush on him. This just makes it better! Baka iniisip na nun na I am such a feeler asking something from him. Baka iniisip na nun na iniisip ko na kami na just because he's been fetching me from our house to school and to our house from school.
So this is it? My greatest punishment for being a bully? To make me feel so embarrass over and over again in front of the guy I like? I sniffed as tears started forming in my eyes.
"Should I stop bullying?" I asked out of nowhere.
Tinakpan ko ulit ng pillow ang mukha ko saka umiyak ng umiyak ng umiyak. Damn this period!
A knock on my door stop me from wailing. I wiped my tears off saka tinitigan ang ceiling.
"What?" My voice is croaked
"Miss Romee? Nandito na po ang boyfriend mo."
Please kill me now.
