Amor Vincit Omnia: Loving Allys Diaz

Chapter 6

Guidance

Its been a week since I got discharged. It's also been a week since Allys and I haven't talk. We only meet each other for months but I feel like I've known her for years.

When we start talking I easily got comfortable with her. She's just so cool and fun to be with.

I am watching Allys silently while she's happy talking to our classmate, Xandra.

Maganda si Xandra, her eyebrows are perfectly shaped hindi masyadong makapal hindi rin masyadong manipis, her chinita eyes na nawawala everytime she smiles, her not too big and not too small lips are naturally red, and her dimples that would be seen everytime she smiles. Hindi lang siya maganda, matangkad din siya, her body shape is what everyone wants to have, she's smart, and she's friendly, she's the girl everyone wants.

Compared to me, I am nothing in this world. All I know is play mobile games na hindi rin ako masyadong marunong, watch series, read books, have this eyeglasses ever since I was in tenth grade na medyo color yellow na kasi hindi na napalitan ever since, I'm not the shortest in class but I definitely am not the tallest, I'm also not that smart, I only have two bestfriends who have been with me ever since we were in ninth grade.

If she's the girl everyone wants, then I'm the girl not even a single one likes. Hindi ako marunong mag-ayos and my IG feed is not aesthetic unlike hers. Ano ba namang laban ko sa isang katulad niya.

Umiwas ako ng tingin at binaling nalang ang aking atensyon sa libro na nasa aking harapan. I don't think so if I have the energy to read this.

I was staring at the book when I felt someone tapping my back. Tiningnan ko ito at nakita ko ang kaklase kong si Josh Garrison, the one who likes to cause trouble.

"You're into reading books too?" tumango lang ako sa kaniyang sagot at umiwas ng tingin. I may be rude in his eyes but I really don't have the energy to communicate with someone right now.

I opened the book and pretend that I'm reading. Umupo siya sa tabi ko at iniakbay ang kaniyang braso sa balikat ko. Sinubukan ko itong tanggalin ngunit makulit si Josh, binalik niya pa rin ang kaniyang braso sa aking balikat.

Tamad ko siyang tiningnan at nakita kong tumango tango lang siya sa akin habang pinapakita ang kaniyang "Charming" smile.

Lumapit ako sa kaniyang mukha at pilit na ngumiti. Ang loko ay mas nilakihan ang ngisi at tila tuwang tuwa pa.

"I don't have time for any shitty business of yours today Josh, so please get the fuck out of my sight. You don't know me, I can make you bleed in just a second." mariing bulong ko sa kaniya at lumayo ng konti. Nakita kong namutla siya ng ilang segundo at pilit na winala ang takot at ngumisi sa akin.

"Sino ka ba para katakutan ko? Isa ka lang babae at lalaki ako, mas malakas ako sayo." Nakangising sabi niya. Imbis na sumagot ay tumayo ako at tumalikod sa kaniya ramdam ko rin na tumayo siya kasi gumawa ng tunog yung upuan.

'Expect the unexpected jerk.'

Humarap ako sa kaniya at malakas na sinuntok siya sa mukha. Tumumba siya sa sahig at agad siyang tinulungan ng aking kaklase na tumayo.

Galit siyang tumingin sa akin habang pinupunasan ang duguan niyang labi gamit ang kaniyang kamao. Binigyan pa siya ng kaklase kong babae panyo ngunit hindi niya ito tinanggap. Nanatili ang masama niyang tingin sa akin at ngumisi lang ako sa kaniya.

Tumahimik ang buong paligid at ramdam kong nakatingin silang lahat sa akin. Kinuha ko ang aking panyo mula sa aking bulsa.

"I told you, I can make you bleed in just a second." ngising sabi ko. Malakas kong binigay ang aking panyo sa kaniya.
