Worth the Trouble

Chapter 2

Damn.

I woke up with a throbing head and a sticky itchy feeling. I lazily grabbed my phone from the bedside table and turned off the alarm. I closed my eyes one more time before standing up and walked towards the bathroom.

I'm still wearing the same black fitted dress I wore at the Bastinado last night with tons of make up and a messy hair. Gross, I know.

I took a bath and dolled up for school. Gusto ko um-absent pero hello, second day of class today.

I didn't plan to go the party naman talaga last night but my high school friend who happened to be studying at Alamana U. asked me to spend time with her. The org she's into held a welcome-new-semester-party open for all. Weird. I can say no but it's a party. A party, you know, my forte? LOL

"Biancs, Anong oras ka ba umuwi kagabi?" Cass seriously but teasingly asked while munching her french toast.

I rolled my eyes. "Shut it, you sound like my mom." I pulled one chair and sat across her.

We both laughed and talked about random things before I went to school  with my black fitted blouse, black tattered jeans and a pair of black chucks.

Cassandra and I used to be schoolmates but something happened and I was forced to transfer. Actually our schools aren't that far naman. Just out of the way. She planned to transfer too so we could still go to school together but her mom did not let her. So, loner muna ako ngayon.

I went straight to my classroom and was not surprised to see the chairs almost full. It's five minutes more before the class starts. The room was filled with students chitchatting. I decided to to take one of the two vacant seats at the back. I grabbed my phone from my bag and slid the earphones on my ears. I listened to Krissy Villongco's covers on my playlist. She's my fave not just because we have the same surname but also because she really sings so well. I love her "blue jeans" cover a lot. She sounds like an angel. I wanna sleep.

I was disturbed from my listening when somebody sat beside me and pulled one of my earphones.

"What the fucking hell?!" I shouted at him. I don't mind my classmates' heads being whipped at our direction. I'm not having a good day.

"Mind putting some filters on your mouth, miss."He mocked with a teasing smile. This jerk is really killing me. I had known him for less than a day but I hate him already.

"Shut.up.and.stay.the.hell.away.from.me." I said with an irritated voive. "You're making me feel sick."

"Not me, it's the alcohol you drank last night, honey." He said plastering an annoying smirk. If I could I would smack that smirk out of his face forever and the hell did he know I got drunk last night?

"Are you stalking me?"

"Uhm. No, I just happened to pass by Bastinado last night." He gave me a knowing look."Didn't know you dance too well."

"Whatever A.hole. Give me back my earphone." Shiz, this is what I get for being so reckless. Swear I won't get drunk next time. Ah, forget it.

I pulled my earphone away from him and put it inside my bag together with the phone. Our professor went in the classroom and everyone settled.

The discussion started. It was boring as hell. Nahuhulog na ang mga mata ko. I sat straight at ginawang pantukod ng ulo ang kaliwa kung kamay.

"You at the back! What's your name?" I heard our prof asked but I am too sleepy to mind.

Naramdaman kong may kumalabit sa akin kaya minulat ko ang mata ko at tiningnan siya. Nakangisi siya sa akin habang tinuturo ang bandang harap ko. I lazily shifted my gaze on what's in front when my mouth went agape.
