Wasn't Meant To Be

Chapter 28

Errors Ahead

Tanga

Umabot ang isang linggo at ang cardigan ko hindi padin naibalik. So I sent a warning from Angel, ayaw ko namang isipin niya na pwede niya lang ako kayan kayanin. The rumor of her being punished by me spread through the campus like wildfire and people started insulting her too, it was like bullying. No, actually it is bullying and I didn't like it, I felt guilty about it. I'm not that bad at all. In result I was exhausted imbes na si Angel lang ang masistress pati ako na stress, but I can't tell the whole campus what to do kasi hindi naman nila ako boss or what so ever. Until one day we were on the campus cafeteria and there I saw some girls bullying Angel, I didn't like it so I came.

"Hi, Isla Galveo right?"

One of the girls greeted me in a friendly way. Nilingon ko si Angel na nakayuko at basang basa dahil sa halo halong substance.

"Hi, would you mind not bullying her?"

I politely asked the girl who just greeted me.

"But I think a girl like this should be treated this way Isla or else she won't know her place."

The same girl answered me. She looked friendly but bitchy at the same time.

"Wala naman siyang atraso sayo meaning there's no reason for you to be mean to her."

Nagkatinginan ang mga babae bago pinaalis si Angel na nakayuko padin. Sinundan ng mga mata ko si Angel na umalis. She looked kawawa and I can feel her shame. Bago paman siya tuluyang nawala sa paningin ko I saw Perseus not too far away looking at my way, mad and disappointed. He shook his head tyaka sinundan si Angel. Now I feel humiliated aish!!!

"You know Isla I like you." The girl smiled and offered a hand shake. "Savanah, Savanah Mondragon." Ngunit tiningnan ko lamang ang kaniyang kamay na inilahad.

"No offense but you seem like a well-mannered girl, you should mind your own business. It was nice meeting you, Savanah." Sinigurado kong hindi nakakabasots ang tono ko at lumisan na, mahanap nanga si Pennie nagugutom nako eh.

I felt a lot relieved after eating and after what I did, I can't control people but once I see them bullying Angel kahit pa naiinis ako sa kaniya I'd help her out since sa akin lang naman siya may atraso hindi sa kanila.

I was able to concentrate on my next classes. Feeling ko ngayon lamang ako nakaramdam ng ginhawa, pero nawala ito nang binigyan naman kami ng panibangong homework ng aming professor napaka terror talaga nitong si Mrs. Valdez. Araw araw ba naman nagbibigay ng homework. Another review essay with 7 pages, back to back and font size twelve. What's it about? Harry potter, no need to read all the books naman daw we could just watch the movie and research some stuff. The good news is the deadline would be next week which is good.

Huli nakong lumabas ng classroom nang wala nang natirang kaklase and to my surprise I saw Perseus sa may puno sa harapan lang ng aming classroom, looking serious and a bit of irritated.

"Here's the money Isla, wag mo nang paginitan si Angel."

Inabot niya sa akin ang makapal na sobre at di nag nagabalang bumati man lang. But he wasn't rude, he was just cold.

"I don't need your money Perseus, hindi ikaw ang may atraso."

Kalmado kong sinabi.

"But you know well Isla she can't afford such money." Diin niya.

"Then she should have think twice before she acted like a effin bitch she is!"

My voice got higher. Matagal nang nag iinit ang ulo ko sa babaeng yun binigyan niya pako ng pandagdag kulo sa dugo.

" And you! tumigil ka na nga sa pag salo sa kaniya Perseus, she is no longer your girlfriend. And please stop being such a tanga for her, she's not worth it!"

I know, I'm saying this not just a friend of Perseus. I know well to myself I want him to see my damn friend, Pennie.

"You do that too Isla!"

His voice thundered that it made me flinch.

"Don't tell me na wag nang magpaka TANGA, because you are no different from me! You also let him play with you! It's been effin almost three years, you try to reach him, telling and showing him how much you have fallen for him. It's just the same cycle for the past years and what?! Asaan ka? Nasa waiting area padin! So stop acting like you're different from me, tanga ka din."

Those words struck me like lightning. Fuck! I want to drown myself. Those walls that kept me from realizations fell like the wall of Jerusalem. He was fucking right! It's just the same cycle for the past years and until now nasa waiting area padin ako. I'm not one of the choices, what's the point of waiting? Where did I even got the right to tell Perci that he should stop being stupid for the damn girl when me myself who gives the advice can't do the same thing.
