BELONG WITH ME | SB19 Justin ✓

Chapter 9

MIRA.

"Settle down, class..."

Napaupo ang mga kaklase namin sa kani-kanilang upuan nang pumasok ang adviser namin. He seems like he has something to announce kaya kinalabit ko si Jah, officer siya kaya baka may alam siya.

"Anong meron?" Bulong ko. Sumandal si Jah sa upuan niya at nagkibit balikat.

"Ewan ko, anong malay ko sa ganap sa buhay ni Sir?" Hinampas ko na lang siya dahil hindi siya matinong kausap.

"Okay now that everyone is settled, I have something to say..." he stops and looks at the door. Sumunod ang tingin ko doon at nakitang may tao. Babae, to be specific.

"I know that it's been two months since the schoolyear started but we have a new student here. She came from St. Jude Academy but because of some issues, nalipat siya dito..." he nods at someone on the door at doon, pumasok ang isang babae.

I heard some gasps, clearly admiring how gorgeous the woman is. Aaminin ko, maganda siya at papasang muse o modelo namg buong school but, I know better.

I know that behind that beauty hides a cheater.

Sinulyapan ko si Justin na walang emosyon ang mukha at nang maramdaman ang tingin ko ay bumaling siya sa akin. Nagawi ang tingin ko sa kamao niyang nakakuyom kaya hinawakan ko 'yon. I started massaging his hand para maalis ang pagkakakuyom until the bitch spoke.

"Good morning, everyone. I'm Brianna Cantalejo and I came from St. Jude Academy. I hope you take care of me and I hope to make friends with you all..." she said with her sweet voice then she look around until her gaze stopped at our direction. To Justin, specifically.

"Nice to meet you..." she said and smile.

"Ms. Cantalejo, you may take a seat there, at the third row..." Mr. Zacarias, our adviser said and the bitch walk towards her assigned seat.

The class started at kahit ayoko man, kinailangan kong bitawan ang kamay ni Jah dahil kokopya ako ng notes. I know that he's holding back something kaya kinailangan kong maya't mayang hawakan ang kamay niya. Para kumalma siya.

Because I know and I'm freaking sure that in the presence of Brianna Cantalejo, Justin is the most affected.

"Listen class, I want you all to group yourselves into 7. Now, group yourselves at kapag na-settle ang groups, I'll give you your task," I look at the boys behind and they already knew what I'm about to say.

"Oo na, Mira. Magka-group na tayo pero, kulang tayo ng isa..." Stell said. Napanguso ako nang mapagtantong kulang nga.

"Sino yung isa?" Tanong ko. I was busy finding for another group mate when someone approached our direction.

"Hi, can I join your group? Complete na kasi yung iba."

There, standing, Brianna Cantalejo. Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa nakikitang asta niya. She looks innocent pero deep inside, bitchesa naman. Anong point ng pagpapanggap niyang inosente sa harapan namin? Para namang hindi namin na-witness noon ang kabalbalan niya.

"Guys?" She asked again.

Nagkatinginan kami pero mas na-focus ako kay Justin. He's looking at her and I can't see his emotions dahil bahagya siyang nakatagilid sa akin. Brianna is also looking back at him na nagpainit sa dugo ko.

I cleared my throat and spoke but Justin beats me to it.

"Sure, sit down," he said at iniwas ang tingin sa kanya kaya napatitig ako sa kanya. He looks up and our eyes met, I raised my eyebrows but he just shook his head.

"Does every group already have 7 members?" Our adviser asked and we have no choice but to say yes.

He discussed the task for us and it's not exciting me dahil sinabi na hanggang matapos ang schoolyear ay ito ang naka-set na group namin. It also involves some meet ups in order to do the activity.

When lunch came, the bitch have the audacity to join us. Hindi tuloy ako makaalis sa tabi ni Jah dahil alam kong apektado siya. Afterall, she leaves him and it broke him.

"Anong sa inyo? Ako na tatayo," Stell said. He already know what's mine and Jah's. Nasabi ko na kanina. Ken also stood up to help him and they're about to walk when a certain one interrupt.

"Aren't you... going to ask me what I want?" She said.

Nagkatinginan sila at alam kong hindi nila alam kung anong ire-react and I completely understand them. Ano ba namang ire-react mo if ever someone from the past suddenly join you for lunch tapos nag-eexpect pang pagsisilbihan siya?

"Uhmm..." Stell's eyes clearly told me na hindi nya alam kung anong sasabihin.

But before anyone could speak, Justin stood up and the next thing I knew, he grabs the girl's wrist and pull her somewhere.

"Awkward no'n..." Josh said.

I also stood up with them para sumama sa pagbili. I'll buy Justin his lunch kaya sumabay ako kay Ken at Stell while Josh and Pablo is left on the table.

"Did you notice something on Brianna?" Ken suddenly asked kaya natuon sa kanya ang paningin ko.

"Wala naman. Why?" Stell asked at dahil mahaba pa ang pila, may oras pa akong makinig sa sasabihin niya.

"It seems like... she didn't do anything wrong back then. Kung makaasta siya sa harapan natin, akala mo walang kabalbalang ginawa. Or is she just pretending? Maybe to get Justin back," he concluded.

My insides suddenly filled with irritation. Ang kapal lang ng mukhang magpakita at umasta na parang walang nangyari dati. If she have any plans on winning Justin back, I'm not letting her. Justin suffered enough dahil sa kanya.

"We all witness how Justin cried for that girl, diba? Do you think now that she came back, Justin will accept her again?" Stell said at mas natahimik ako do'n.

If ever he wants to go back to her, I won't let him. Sapat na 'yung pag iyak at paghihirap niya noon. We all witness how he didn't eat for a week. Kung hindi pa tinarayan at sinermunan ni Pablo at sinumbong kay Kuya Yani, hindi pa kakain. And it broke my heart, that time, witnessing how he cried for his first love. I witness how he genuinely love her. He showered her attention, love and care only for her to hurt him.

Only for her to chose someone over Justin.
