MISS NOT PERFECT

CHAPTER 5

"Princess?" the President asked.

I ignored him and stared at Kerr.

"What are you doing here Kerr?" I asked. I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Dito na din ako mag-aaral. Surprise?" his smile grew wider.

I shook my head in disbelief.

"What help do you need on us?" the President asked again.

Kerr look at him and frowned. "All I need is her," he said then quickly grabbed my hand and dragged me outside the office.

"I don't like him" he murmured while pouting.

I brows furrowed as I looked at him.

"Tsk. Nevermind. The second class has already started, let's go?" he dragged me again.

"You'll go with me?" I asked. My forehead creased.

"We're classmates. Sayang nga, isang subject lang, wala na kasing slot sa iba, but at least makakasama pa rin kita. That's enough" then he smiled at me.

Napailing na lang ako.

He's always jolly, that's why I like him and I accepted him to be my friend. For seventeen years of my existence, I managed to have two best friends. That's enough.

Tahimik ang buong klase ng pumasok kami ni Kerr. Lahat sila nakatingin samin, but I dont care. I don't give a damn.

Kerr frowned.

He has dual personality. He's too jolly whenever he's with us but he's too snobbish when it comes to other people. That's why we're close. Our friendship is not normal, my only friends are defective, so am I. And I admit it.

"What?!" he asked and rolled his eyes. Lalo pang sumimangot.

Naupo na lang ako sa tabi ng bintana at sumunod siya. Umupo siya sa tabi ko pero may biglang nagsalita.

"Sorry dude, but I own that seat" nakita ko si President.

"I don't care" Kerr answered. Still frowning.

"May seating arrangement, I don't wanna marked as absent, so, if you don't mind.."

Padabog na umalis sa upuan sa tabi ko si Kerr at lumipat sa likuran ko.

"I can't believe I can't sit next to you! Damn that seating arrangement!" he hissed.

Napailing na lang ako. And unconsciously, napatingin ako kay President. He's smirking, so I frowned. But then, I ignored it.

"Sunduin kita mamaya, sabay sabay na tayo nila Lea, I'm with Maika," sabi ni Kerr after the class tapos lumabas na. Maika, his car.

Pagkalabas niya, maraming lumapit sakin na babae.

"Gosh! Mikki! Is he your boyfriend?"t the girl asked.

Hindi ko sila pinansin. I don't talk to strangers. Im sorry. Plus, we're not close to share anything to them.

"Aminin mo na! Wag ka ng mahiya, para namang hindi kababata!" someone continued.

Childhood friend? I don't even know their names.

"Silence means yes. So, may boyfriend ka na pala. So hot! Hays, hindi na ko magtataka, e dyosa ka naman kasi. Kahit babae ako crush kita e. Haha"

Napailing na lang ulit ako. What are they talking about?

"Girls, can I have a favor?" biglang nagsalita yung katabi ko.

"Anything for you Ivan dear"

I frowned.

"Can you give this to Mrs Bartolome? May tatapusin pa kasi ako, she needs this right now kaya lang hindi ko maiwan itong ginagawa ko. Please?" 

"Sure! Malakas ka samin e, let's go girls!" then there, biglang nag-alisan ang mga babae sa paligid ko. I sighed.

"Do you love getting attention?" he asked.

I looked at him. Dunno if he's talking to me. He's not looking at me so I looked away. I don't talk to strangers.

"Silence means yes? You love getting attentions of everyone. Sorry Miss Vice President, but as the President of this class, stop playing and fooling around. I want this class to be well organized. People like you is such a big mess"

My forehead creased. So, it's me. No one ever confronted me like that. But who cares? Im not doing anything.

I don't know what he's up to, hence dunno what he is talking about. Attention? Me?

I looked at him with a friend, silently questioning if he is on his right mind. He must be hallucinating coz how can he say I love getting attention when I'm only minding my own business here. Tsk.
I saw a shock registered on his face. The creases on my forehead deepened. He's definitely weird. I gave him a poker-faced before I looked away.
