Chapter Twenty One

FHRILLIZZIE KELL WAINWRIGHT

“Isang taon na lang pala. Saan niyo balak mag-law school?”

“Sa Ateneo o UP, pinagpa-planuhan naming maigi ng family ko, you know we need to get ready as soon as possible.” One of them replied. Sadistic laugh of woman echoed around them.

“Well, I decided to study abroad muna before taking law here. Harvard, maybe.”

I remained motionless on my chair as I listen quietly on the conversation of my blockmates. Iana and Marcus were also in that group but it's fine with me. Although they'd asked me to join them ay umayaw ako. First, I don't like being with nosy people and second, sanay na akong mag-isa.

“Eh, ikaw, Fhrillizzie? Where do you plan to study law?”

My forehead creased as I diverted my gaze to them. Did she called me?  I definitely heard my name.

“Ako ba?” I didn't pointed my self but I look at her directly. She raised an eyebrow.

“Baka may ibang Fhrillizzie rito. Duh.” Laughters followed by Diane's annoying remark. I really hate this woman and I don't even understand her attitude. We never had a good talk eversince. She's a bitch! Feeling magaling.

My lips pursed. “I still don't have–”

“You still don't have plans?!” She shouted with her squacky voice. How I wish I could punch the face of this bitch. Ang OA.

Lantaran akong umirap sa kanya.

“Yes, Diane.”

I still really don't have plans yet because I needed to discuss it with my mom, first.

“Oh, that's awful! Dapat ay may plano ka na. Why don't you apply in Harvard or Oxford or any law schools abroad, kagaya ko. And I think your mom can afford it. Unless...” She suddenly stopped with a smirk on her face. Everyone looks at her curiously.

“...you are no longer interested in taking law. Eh, 'di ba nga nakabingwit ka na ng lawyer. You're genius din 'no? 'Yung pinakamahal pa na isda ang nahuli mo. I wonder kung ilang isda na ba ang nahuli mo.”

My heart pounded as my fist closed in anger. Malalim ang mga matang tumingin ako sa kanya. I’ve never felt annoyed like this before. I am offended. Ano bang problema niya sa akin?!

“Diane! What the hell! Stop it!” Iana's voice roared. Diane looks at her sarcastically then at me.

“Why? Totoo naman, hindi ba? Stop being blind and ass because I know that all of us here are curious on how this Wainwright managed to seduce her former professor! What a disgusting—”

“Shut the fuck up.” I interfered with her twaddle noise. Hindi ko maiwasang mabuhay ang apoy sa dibdib at hangga't nananatili akong walang imik ay mas kumakalat ito sa buong sistema ko. I didn't not violated anyone so how could they think less of me? How dare them insult a fair woman like me. Naturingan pa namang mga political scientists!

I held up my chin and eye all them ice cold.

“You all wanted to know kung paano ko naakit si Palm?” I thought they will agree with me but they bowed down the heads except Diane. Ang tigas talaga ng mukha ng babaeng ito.

“Sure.”

I was about to speak again when someone interfered.

“You don't have to say anything, Lizzie. You don't owe them your words.”
