Confessions of an Ugly Duckling

Chapter 11

Aira's P.O.V.

Yay! Thursday ngayon ibig sabihin whole day at papasok na sina kuya. Nandito ngayon kami sa kotse at nag sound trip biglang nag blast ang kantang 'Titanium' sa radio, nag simula kumanta si Kuya Jacob paborito kasi niyang kanta

You shout it out,

But I can't hear a word you say

I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet

You shoot me down, but I get up

Tapos kinanta namin lahat

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

Tapos si Kuya Julio ang kumanta

Cut me down

But it's you who'll have further to fall

Ghost town, haunted love

Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones

I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium

I am titanium

Stone-hard, machine gun

Fired at the ones who run

Stone-hard as bulletproof glass

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium

Pagkatapos nung kanta, saktong nasa school na kami, ang bilis naman parang kanina lang nasa bahay lang kami.

Pag baba namin ng kotse ayun na... Ang mga babae simula nanaman lumapit sa mga kuya, hinila ko si Angel at pumunta na sa hallway.

"Why?" tanong ni Angel

"What, why?" sabi ko, hay iiral nanaman ang english ko -.-

"Bakit mo ako hinila?" tanong niya in a slang way

"Kasi mamatay tayo dun" sabi ko tinuro ko yung mga babae nagkakandarapa sa mga kuya

"Ah. I see" sabi niya at pumunta na siya sa locker niya, buti na lang magkatabi ang locker namin.
