How To Be A Nerd To Troublemaker Princess

26- How The Nerd Gets The Payment?

Theo's P.O.V.

"What are you doing here?" Lumingon ako para tignan kung may iba pang babae sa paligid.

How come? Kada-daan lang dito ni Hayley. Where is she?

"Anong hinahanap mo? Bakit ka nang babangga?" Jane hissed, tinggal niya ang nakakapit kong kamay ng makatayo na siya. "Ang sakit ah. Nakakailan na kayong lahat."

"I didn't mean it. May hinahanap lang ako." I looked afar.

May kumapit na kamay sa balikat ko, kaagad akong naiharap sa kaniya. Magkasalubong ang mga kilay nito, irritation is evident. I stepped back. I have seen it before, at sa pagkakatanda ko, hinamon niya si Dare gamit ng ganitong asta.

"Anong hinahanap mo?"

"Ah—si Hay-ley?" I stuttered.

"Iyan na naman?!" She rolled her eyes. "Walang ibang dumaan dito. Kung meron man, may bumangga din sa akin kanina pero dun siya pumunta. Di ko nakita ang mukha niya."

She pointed the same direction I was about to run to. But the street stood the same, there's no one here. Dumaan sa isip ko na hindi pa nga pala nakikilala ni Jane si Hayley. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang mukha nito. Right, she's the new student. I forgot that fact. Bakit parang ang tagal na niyang nakakasama namin? I always see her because she's been involve with Dare since she came to. That makes sense.

"Never mind, you haven't meet her."

"Ewan ko sa'yo. Tabi." She swings her bag on the shoulder, tinamaan ako. Nagreality check ang utak ko.

Tinamaan niya ako?

Umurong ang ako nang may bumangga sa balikat ko. It took me a minute nang malaman kong binangga niya ako. May hangin na sumpal sa akin. Natulala ako sa pagkakatingin sa blangkong kalsada.

A nerd pushed me?

I touched my shoulder blade. I remained my mouth shut, confirming it is real. Nawala ang isip ko tungkol kay Hayley. Mas kinabahan ako because of Jane. I can't move, knowing that a nerd can easily do that to me!

Dare, what kind of girl did you pick a fight on?

Thea's P.O.V.

The guys keep on talking about Jane, and I'm starting to realize na stuck ako dito! Obviously, they don't care about my presence, kaya nanatili akong nakatungo para di nila mapansin. I've been asking myself why didn't I follow Jane! Ngayon I didn't know how to left this table! This table have death!

Sumilip ako sa mga lalaki. Carl has been sighing. Alex is too quiet and still serious, tapping his finger at the round mouth of his glass, counting on the beat per second. He's making me so anxious! Idagdag pa, Dare is continuously staring in oblivion of our thoughts! Kinakagat niya ang hintuturo na parang anxious rin. He also seemed to snap anytime now! On the other hand, Sam's head raise from the table.

"She's coming back." He softly announced. Bumalik ang sigla at ngiti sa mukha niya. "You did come back!"

We all saw Jane walking. Her expression is still not good, but I'm really glad she came back for me! I can now go!

"Babalik talaga ako. Ang sabi ko magpapahangin lang." She said in a deep voice. Umupo ulit siya.

Like earlier, ang bawat galaw niya ay maingay at purposely explosive in out of manner. When she pulls her chair, she drags it. Nang ilagay niya ang bag sa gilid, hinayaan niyang tumama muna sa ibang bagay. The only soft sound from her is her voice na ngayon ay mababa at seriyoso.

I don't feel good coming out today with them. To be honest, I invited myself alone. When I heard Alex invited her, nabanggit niyang his friends will tail them, kaya sinabihan din niyang magdala si Jane ng kaibigan. It's fair and right, that's what he said. Kasi hindi alam ni Jane kung sino, kaya when I nominate myself, she agreed. Ang super happy ko because I thought the guys will have a good relationship with her. At that time, akala ko magiging mabait sila dahil minsan na nila siyang tinulungan. But I was wrong, my expectation were too high!
