The Heartthrob That Can't Walk

#00

Prologue

I click the button of my wheelchair so it can move forward. This wheelchair is made for me. Because I hate it when someone is pushing me. It feels like I'm more useless. I want to do things on my own. But of course I can't do all of that.

I can feel those eyes watching me, every inch of this wheelchair move. I put my headset because I can hear their murmuring. Next time I'll tell Mr. Tori to put some speed on this thing.

I almost curse when I felt someone pushing my freaking wheelchair.

"What the hell?!" I can't help but to shout.

"Ha?" she asked.

"Stop," mariin kong sambit.

"I said stop!" there she stop.

"Bakit mo ko pina hinto? Mali ba ang direksyon?" naguguluhang tanong niya.

"Can't you see? It's a high-tech wheelchair. So there's no need for you to support me." I was about to click the button but she hold the handle again.

"Ayaw ko. Sige na, Stanlly, please?" pag mamakaawa niya pa.

"You'll stop or I'll tell the guards to drag you out of this school?" banta ko.

Ngumuso siya at binitawan ang wheelchair ko.

Ibinalik ko ang headset sa aking tainga. Muli ay mas dumami ang nag bubulungan sa hallway. Great because of her I made a scene.

Even my relatives own this school I can still experience bullying. They always said I seduce their girlfriends. Huh but how? Papansin daw ako sa mga babae. E hindi ko nga sila pinapansin.

I reached the doorway of my room. I click the button to turn left. So I can go inside.

"Hoy! Losena! Anong atin?" tanong ng isang uri ng nilalang mula outer space.

Walang atin.

I didn't answer.

Narating ko ang pwesto ko. Sa totoo niyan wala akong katabi. I like it that way.

"Class, please take your seat." Ms. Caitty said. "We have a new student. Medyo late lang siya ng araw dahil last week pa tayo nag simula ng class. By the way please come in."

A girl wearing yellow short sleeve button blouse and a faded jeans with white rubber shoes entered. I remove my headset and hid it on my bag. She's the girl earlier.

"Please introduce yourself." Our substitute teacher said to her.

" Ehem... my name is Shane Deguzman. Nice meeting you all."

I hate her tone. Cheerful ass.

"You may take your seat."

Gumala ang mga mata niya sa buong room. Hanggang dumako ito saakin. No, no, don't sit here. Everyone knows I hate having a seatmate! Someone please stop her or else I'll throw my note book straight to her face.

Naglakad siya tungo sa direksyon ko. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin pero binalewala ko 'yon. Hanggang sa na upo siya sa tabi ko. Halos lahat ay nag bubulungan. Maging si Ms. Caitty ay natigilan.

"Ms. Deguzman ayaw mo ba sa ibang pwesto?" she asked her.

"Ayos na po ako dito maam."

Our teacher cleared her throat before nodding. Why is she allowing her? For Pete's sake!

"Open your book on page 26. Answer the quiz on a lengthwise paper."

I opened my text book.

"Psst! Lalaki!"
