Bakit ba ako na late ng gising? Of course it's because of my freaking useless alarm clock! It didn't alarm me when the clock struck six.
And now, I'm rummaging through my closet looking for something to wear. It's already 7:30 and here I am still at home. My class will start at 8 and I'm doomed!
"Mama, papasok na po ako," tawag ko kay mama na nasa kusina siguro. Dali dali kong sinuot ang sapatos ko sa sala.
"Anong papasok? You haven't eaten your breakfast, Clayire!" Mama emerged from the kitchen, scowling at me.
I wrinkled my nose. Kahit kailan talaga. "Mama, it's Reany." She momentarily froze but nodded afterwards.
"I'm sorry, dear," tatawa tawa niyang sabi. "But you're still not going to school without your breakfast," utos niya.
I groaned. "Mama, I'm so late na... Sa school na ako kakain."
"Hindi!" nakapamewang niyang tanggi.
Do I even have a choice? Of course not. So, dali dali na lang akong kumain na kulang na lang mabulunan.
"Magpahatid ka ulit don sa gwapong naghatid sayo kahapon anak." The last thing I heard before I left our apartment. Napapairap na lang ako habang nakasakay ng taxi.
Damn! Walang hiyang Leo.
Tinakbo ko ang gate hanggang sa loob ng Academy. It's already 8:30 and I'm thirty minutes late but then, hingal akong napahinto nang matanaw ko ang mga students na nakatayo lang sa field.
I saw some familiar faces. Kanya kanyang grupo sila depends on how richer they are. Magkakagrupo ang mga same level ng yaman.
I saw Gian alone.
"Gian, Anong meron?" Tinapik ko ito sa balikat pagkalapit ko sa kanya. Agad naman akong binalingan nito.
She laughed. "Buti na lang talaga at walang pasok... Bakit late ka? And most importantly ano itong chismis ni Kath?" sunod sunod niyang tanong.
Napairap na lang ako. That damn Kath. Wala talagang pinapalampas na chismis.
"Anong chismis? Wala akong alam," nakataas na kilay kong sabi. I titled my head away from Gian.
Na sana hindi ko na lang ginawa!
Pagbaling ko kasi sa kanan ko, nasalubong ko ang titig na mata ni Leo na nakangisi na sa akin.
"Reany, Hope you're ok after yesterday," sigaw niyang nakangisi. Napaawang ang labi ko. Anong yesterday?
Nabaling ako kay Gian nang suminghap ito. Her eyes went wide while staring at me. Shit! Anong iniisip niya?
"Did something happened between you and Leo?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya.
"WHAT THE HELL?"
I heard Leo chuckled. Binalingan ko ito ng nakakamatay na tingin. "Sa uulitin ulit," sigaw niya pa. Natawa ang mga kasama niyang lalaki. Some even tapped him as if he just won a lottery. I recognized Josh is with him.
I was about to curse him when they just left the field.
Mamatay kana Leo! Kulang na lang sabunutan ko ang sarili ko dahil sa frustration.
"Tumahimik ka Gian.. Walang nangyari pwede ba," inis kong singhal sa katabi ko.
"Tama nga ang sabi ni Kath! May something nga sa inyo ng Leo na yun." Halata ang kinikilig nito.
I rolled my eyes but then I saw Karina matching towards me. She's scowling like a mad woman.
"The hell, Reany. You actually seduce Leo? Why?" she trailed off as she look at me head to foot, intending to insult me. "Dahil hindi ka makalapit kina Harden at si Leo ang pinunterya mo?" Hindi ko alam bakit galit na galit siya.
