BEHIND THOSE PRETTY FACES

CHAPTER 15

JASPER's POV

Nakatingin lang kaming lahat sa papaalis na sina Shierra kasama ang red phoenix. Naguguluhan na talaga ako kung paano nila ito nakilala. Tumambay na lang kaming barkada sa private room nila. Sobrang nakakaboring kaya natulog na lang ako. Hindi ko namalayan na hapon na pala. Sinundo na kami ng school bus pero hindi na namin nakita ang grupo ni Shierra. Saan naman kaya nagpunta ang mga yun? Tinext na lang kami ni Ate Sky na hintayin siya sa bahay.

Nakaupo lang kami dito sa living room habang kumakain ng pizza. Nag-order kasi si Zian. Alam na, mahilig sa pizza to eh. Mayamaya pa ay dumating na rin sa wakas ang hinihintay namin. She sat on the single couch opposite on where we are sitting and just look at us.

"What?!" I asked.

"What do you think did you do?" She asked while raising her one eyebrow. We all look at him confused. She just rolled her eyes with disbelief. "Why did you let those girls being accused by that old fat woman."

"Ahh. Yun ba Ate Sky?" Natatawang sabi ni Blake.

"They can manage. I'm very sure you know that." Sagot ni Kean. Napangisi na lang si Ate Sky. May pagkaweird din talaga 'tong si Ate minsan.

"Is that all you want to say?"

"Masyado ka namang naiinip bro." A short silence surround us. "Are you really sure of being close to them?" She asked out of nowhere.

"Yes. Why?" We all looked at her with full of curiousity. Bakit naman niya natanong yun? Tumango-tango lang siya.

"Hmm... Ok. Goodluck. If you need my help, I'm just one text or call away. Just don't play with them." Tumayo na siya and gave us a meaningful look pero hindi naman namin nagets ang meaning.

"What does Ate Sky look means?" naguguluhang tanong ni Sean.

"I don't know." Sagot ni Zian. The three of us just shrugged.

Few days later, pinatawag kami ni Ate Sky sa office niya. What is it this time? On our way to her office, nakasalubong namin yung tatlo pero as usual, hindi na naman kami pinansin. Nung nagtanong kami, sinagot nga, papilosopo naman. Haist!

"What do you want?"

"Is that how you greet your principal?"

"Just spill it."

"Fine. I want you to know that the three of you will be the representative on the upcoming academic competition in the intramurals..."

"WHAT?!" we all shouted in unison.

"Ate, you know how much I hate that right?"

"Are you sure you don't want to join?" She looked at us with her famous criticizing eyes. We slowly nod. Tumalikod na siya samin. "Ok. Saying, kasama niyo pa naman sina Erra at pumayag na sila. Tsk! Hinihintay pa naman nila kayo sa may garden ngayo. Maybe, I should call her to tell them na hindi kayo pumayag. Marami pa namang willing na makasama nila yung tatlo. You may now leave."
