"Ba't ganyan ang hitsura mo? Mukha kang zombie na bumangon sa hukay!"
Tinatawanan ako ni Ann habang kinukusot ko ang mata ko at naglalakad papuntang banyo.
I couldn't sleep last night, I spent hours staring at the city lights while thinking about that stupid love letter. Nakakabwisit tuloy ang mukha ko.
I looked at myself in the mirror, I had very dark under eyes. Damn, I almost looked like a panda.
Naligo nalang ako at nagsipilyo bago bumaba para sabay-sabay kaming mag-almusal.
Balita ko madaling araw nakauwi si daddy kagabi kaya tulog parin hanggang ngayon. We still had class today, since it was friday pero half day lang siguro dahil mag ppractice lang naman kami ng sayaw para sa program ng school next month.
We had sausage for breakfast, wala pa ako gaano sa mood magsalita kaya I just stayed silent until we all finished eating.
Umakyat muna ako sandali sa kwarto para kunin ang naiwan kong wallet.
Nang mahanap ko ang wallet ko ay may narinig na naman akong sunod sunod na busina mula sa labas.
I looked out the window with furrowed eyebrows, nakita ko na naman 'yong morenong nakita ko sa cafeteria kahapon.
He was waiting for someone again, I immediately hid behind the curtains when he suddenly looked at my direction.
"Shit!" My eyes widened. Nakita niya ba ako?
Why am I even hiding from him anyway? I looked out the window again, pretending to look at the sky.
Ang ganda pala ng mga ulap ngayon, but I liked the night view better.
Napasulyap ulit ako sakaniya, he was staring at the road in front of him. Hindi ko maide-deny na guwapo nga siya, kaso mukha siyang masungit. He kinda looked pissed too, magkasalubong rin ang kilay niya at mukhang naiinip na sa hinihintay niya.
I laughed when I imagined him looking like that grumpy cat meme I saw.
"Hoy! Putaneska! Ang tagal tagal mong bumaba, ano na bang ginagawa mo riyan?!" Inis akong tinawag ni Ann, mukhang kanina pa rin nila ako hinihintay.
"Ay, pussycat!" I covered my mouth because of shock.
"Anong pussycat pinagsasabi mo? Aalis na tayo, Celestine!" Hinatak niya ako pababa, wala na rin akong nagawa kundi magpatianod sa hatak niya.
Ako na ang nag-aya na mag tricycle kami papuntang school dahil pakiramdam ko ay magkakasakit na naman ako, lintek na yan napuyat lang ako eh.
Pagdating namin sa school ay pumunta na agad kami sa kaniya kaniya naming locker para itago ang mga bag na dala namin. Maliliit lang naman iyon dahil puro damit lang ang laman.
Habang binubuksan ko ang locker ko, may kung ano saakin ang nage-expect na sana ay may papel na namang mahulog mula roon.
I pouted my lips when I saw nothing.
Dumiretso nalang ako sa field kung saan kami magkikita kita at magpa-practice.
I didn't tie my hair yet because it was still wet when we left. My long black straight hair swayed with the wind while I was walking towards my friends.
Mukhang may pinagchichismisan na naman sila dahil nakatingin sila roon sa isang babae na mukhang maarte dahil sa kilos niya, she was crossing her arms in front of her chest while chewing on a piece of gum.
"Lia!" I was about to approach them when someone called me from behind.
Tumalikod ako para salubungin si Liam. He was running towards me as if he was in a hurry.
