The Perfect Boyfriend List

Chapter 14

[Chapter 14] Attraction Between Opposites

I don't believe particularly believe at the phrase, "opposite attracts". Liesl already told me once about that thing but I just frowned. But right now, I think that phrase really do exist really in life.

I'm currently having a very awesome dinner with the two love birds that made me realize that sometimes, I need to listen to what my bestfriend has to say. Hindi pala puro walang kwenta din ang lumalabas sa bibig niya.

My inner bitchy side is showing. I didn't mean that one. Liesl is still my silly bestfriend. And whatever happens, kahit sino man siya, she'll always be my bestfriend.

"Oh. Bakit nakasimangot ka d'yan hija?" Manang Belinda asked when I excused myself from the two love birds to fetch a drink.

"Hindi po ako nakasimangot." I lied. What I hate about my face is it's exactly reflecting the same feelings I have deep inside. Hindi ko ito mapeke.

"But you're frowning." she defensed.

I drop the glass on the kitchen table. Masyadong napalakas yung pagbagsak ko kaya napapitlag si Manang Belinda.

Bakit ba galit na galit ako? Well, let me answer my own question. Nabwibwisit ako sa ka-bullshit-an ng mundo. Ang daming imperfections ng mundo. Nakakainis!

"Maghinay hinay kang bata ka!" she scowled. "Baka atakihin ako sa puso at baka mabasag mo iyang baso. Magagalit ang iyong Mama. Isa pa naman iyan sa collection niya."

I rolled my eyes secretly. Wala namang pakielam si Mama kundi iyong iisipin lang ng ibang tao at yung collection niya ng mga pinggan. Ugh! Isa pa iyon sa nakakainis e.

When I came back from my seat, I found the two laughing their stomachs out. I was curious to death. I want to know what's making them laugh. I want to know if it has to do anything about me since nagsimula lang naman silang tumawa nang umalis ako.

But I stopped the urge to do so. Ayokong isipin nila na curious ako (kahit na totoo naman) at sasabihing nakikielam ako sa pinag-uusapan nila.

Nakakahiya naman kay Miss Sandra. Baka isipin pa niyang nagkakagusto ako sa lintek niyang boyfriend.

As if naman diba? Pero mahirap na. Wren is so full of himself. Masyadong assumero. Baka nahawaan ang girlfriend niya.

"Where are you staying?" Wren asked Sandra. Nang magtaas ito ng mukha, ngumisi ito.

"At a hotel. Pero next week, I will be staying at a condo. Dad's already fixing the papers." she answered.

Ganon naman pala e. Bakit hindi na lang niya isama itong asungot na ito? Masaya nga yun e. Wala nang nakakabwisit sa bahay.

"Ikaw pala, Rachel," she said. "Magkaklase pala kayo nitong si Wren?"

"Ah opo," I said. "Third year po ng highschool." Diniinan ko ang pagka sabi ng high school. Pa'no ba naman? She looks like a woman with a diploma to be proud of.

Tumango tango siya. I can feel Wren's eyes glaring at me. Pero hindi ko siya hinarap. I continued looking at her matured face.

"Ate, anong year na po pala kayo?" I asked. "You looked so matured po."

I was not used on showing my bitchy side to anyone. My parents groomed me to be the princess, the good girl and the perfect girl. Kaya to satisfy their own cravings for a perfect daughter, I told myself that I will never show my bitchiness to others--until now...

I can't hold it anymore. This girl irritates the hell out of me.

"I've graduated," she said barely a whisper. "Doctorate degree, actually."
