CHAPTER 5

Sunday na, wala akong ibang ginawa kundi mag review para sa long test namin bukas sa English at magicscroll sa tiktok. Natulog ako ng maaga para maaga rin akong magising bukas. First subject kasi namin ang english bukas at bawal kami ma-late. And I hate being late.

- - -

I woke up earlier than I expected. Bumangon na lang ako agad at naligo. I wore our uniform na pinatahi ni Mom. Ginising ko na si Ate and kumain muna kami before siya maligo.

After niyang maligo ay nagbihis na siya at hinintay na namin ang school bus sa labas.

Maaga naman kami nakarating sa school but I noticed na almost everyone were staring sa amin ni ate. Nagtataka ako but we continued walking. But then Aiden blocked my way nung papunta na ko sa classroom.

And said " Hoy ampon!" I was shocked. Natulala ako. GOSH! How did he know?

I can't say anything because I am really scared. Sinong nagsabi sa kanila? I am not ashamed na adopted ako. Pero I don't want people knowing kasi it's the reason why I got bullied sa past schools ko.

I was just standing there. Habang binubully ako ni Aiden. I am being bullied... again. Habang lahat ng estudyante ay nakatingin lang sa amin. No one was even helping me.

I felt that my tears would start running down my face anytime soon. Bago pa mangyari yun ay tumakbo nalang ako papunta sa rooftop.

Where anyone can't see me.
Where they can't see me being weak and vulnerable.

I just sat there. Nakasubsob ang mukha ko sa tuhod ko. I cried and cried. I felt it again. I felt like everything was closing in around me. All the pain, memories, and darkness that I felt before was coming back...again...

"Why..."

"Why does everything have to come back? What did I do to deserve being punished over and over again?" I whispered to myself as tears ran down my face.

I heard man's footsteps. I didn't want to look. He gave me a handkerchief. And I heard him going down.

I just stayed sa rooftop hanggang hapon... hindi na ako nakaattend sa lahat ng klase ko.

I decided na umalis na at umuwi sa bahay. Di ko na hinanap si ate. I don't want her seeing me like this again. I promised her kasi. I promised na di na ako magiging mahina. Pero I broke it.

When I got home mom was in the living room.

"Avy how's your da-"

Di ko na sinagot si mom and umakyat nalang ako sa kwarto ko. Sumubsob ako sa unan ko. I didn't even bother changing my clothes. I cried. Again.

I heard ate downstairs. Galit siya. I can feel and hear it. She was talking to mom. Alam niya kaya? I hope not. Ayoko na magkagulo ulit.

Narinig kong padabog na umakyat si ate at pumasok sa kwarto ko.

"ARYA AVENIRE" She calls me that pag galit siya. Pero ngayon hindi lang sya galit. She was very furious.

"W-what" I answered her. Trying to hide my sobs.

"WHAT THE HECK AVENIRE? ANO YUNG NABALITAAN KO?"

"Nothing. Just...let them be ate." I said still trying to hide my sobs but I can't.

"ANONG HAYAAN?! AVENIRE DON'T BE SO KIND. MAGTE-TAKE ADVANTAGE LANG SILA SAYO!" She said furiously.

"Please ate... don't tell mom and dad" I said crying in between my words.

"Too late Avenire. I already told them. Hindi ko na ulit hahayaang mahuli lang nila ang mga bullies para lang malaman ang nangyayari sayo" she said to me.

"Unfair din samin ang nangyayari sayo Avenire" dugtong pa niya

Pagkasabi nya non ay bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto ko at pumasok sina mom and dad.

They are crying. Because of me.

"Anak..." mom said habang umiiyak. Habang si dad naman ay nakatayo lang sa may pintuan ko at seryoso ang mukha.

"Lilipat ka na ng school Avy. Sa America na tayo magsisimula ulit."

"But mom please. Can't I just finish this school year? Halos 5 buwan nalang naman ay tapos na din ito. I can handle it mom please" I said sobbing.

"We'll talk with your principal tomorrow. Ipapaalam ko na aalis na kayo ni Liz after ng school year na ito." Sabi naman ni dad

"But mom don't you think you're making a big deal out of it?" I said.

They always tell me na palagi ko nalang pinoprotektahan mga bullies ko. But what can I do? I really don't like chaos. Ayoko ng magulo at magkakaaway ang mga tao. Ayoko din ng may masasaktan.

"Avenire please. Stop being weak. Stop being so generous! Sa sobrang bait mo, hinahayaan mo nang masaktan ka! Be selfish for once! Isipin mo naman yang sarili mo. Mahirap makitang nasasaktan ka Avenire!" Ate said na parang naiinis na pero mas nangingibabaw ang pag aalala.

"Xin called me kanina. Di ka daw umattend ng classes mo buong araw. You have an english test pero di ko pumasok! Avy. Don't let your bullies ruin your life again" Mom said.

Hindi na ako nakasagot. They left my room and I just continued crying like a baby. I'm so pissed but I don't know what to do! Tuloy tuloy ang pag iyak ko hanggang sa antukin ako. Hindi na ako nakapag dinner dahil wala akong gana.

I didn't go to school until Friday and hindi rin ako lumalabas sa kwarto ko. Every night I cried myself to bed always thinking I've lost my sanity. Dinadalhan na lang ako ni mom nang food and may CR naman sa kwarto ko. Ate always visits me pagkakauwi niya sa school. She's still mad at Aiden kaya hindi rin sila masyado ng naguusap. Ate always pushes me to go to school but I really can't.

Pumasok na lang ako nang Monday the next week kasi natatakot ako na baka marami ang ma-miss kong lessons and quizzes. My teachers know what I am going through and they gave me a chance to retake the quizzes and activities that I missed.

Tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang tingin sa akin ng mga tao pero hindi ko na sila pinapansin. Lagi na rin nasa tabi ko si Riry kapag nasa school ako dahil gusto niya rin ako ipagtanggol sa demonyo na si Aiden.

A few weeks passed, napansin ko na hindi na rin madalas magkasama yung kambal. And Cole is always with us ni Riry. Mas lalo kaming pinagtitinginan ng mga students dito maybe because Cole the 'crush ng bayan' is always hanging out with us.

Thursday na, nag absent si Riry dahil nilalagnat ata siya. So Cole was the one by my side kapag lumalabas ako ng room. Wew, may instant bodyguard ata ako joke.

And gosh! This guy just asked me to have dinner with him this coming Saturday. I was shocked. I covered my face as I felt my it blushing.

"I'll think about it" tugon ko sa kanya. GOSH!

He followed me on Instagram and I immediately followed him back. Dun namin pinag usapan ang about sa date namin. Ay sorry! I meant DINNER!

He told me na casual dinner lang and susunduin niya ako ng 6:00pm sa bahay. He didn't tell me kung saan kami magdi-dinner para daw surprise eme. HAHAHA. GOSH! I've never been so excited like this ever since I got bullied by Aiden.
