Unrequited Love

I'm at tenth grade now and it is just a typical day at school. Now is time for our science class, and here I am drowsing while listening to our teacher, Mrs. Riad. She's our terror teacher and when I say terror, she's really scary and strict that my classmates gave her a nickname (Mrs. Empi - because she will always eat empanada while she was teaching and when she get mad her face is getting red and her cheeks is puffing cause of her empanada) I don't know but almost all of the old teacher's here is like her but she's still different tsk tsk.

I didn't realize that I was slowly dozing off because of boredom and sleepiness. I was just woken up by a loud bang on the front, and there I saw Mrs. Riad looking at me with her fuming eyes.

"Ms. Hernandez, stand up!" She shouted.

Because of shock, I hurriedly stood up and said sorry for what I had done. But behind the back of my mind, 'Hays ang boring naman kase magturo ni Ma'am Empi eh'

"Ms. Hernandez, dahil mukhang sobrang interested mo sa klase ko na umaabot na sa pagkaantok mo. Define Force and the two natural forces."

I sighed, then I looked at my seatmate, asking for help. After all, he's the main reason why I'm sleepy in class. Hays if he didn't invite me to play COD last night.

I nudged him and whispered, "Hoy Niccolo, anong sagot dali, patay ka talaga sakin mamaya pagka time tamo."

"Omg beb, don't call me Niccolo kadirdir; I'm Nicole gurl. Oh dali, look at this," he whispered back.

I bit my lip to stop myself from laughing. I forgot that he hates it when someone calls him by his real name. 'HAHAHAHAHA aclang to.' I looked at the book on his table and read the answer.

"Ms. Hernandez, what's taking you so long to answer my question? I just mentioned that a while ago." Mrs. Empi shouted again.

"I'm sorry, Maam, natulala lang ako sa kagandahan niyong taglay hehe," I heard my classmates laugh

"What? Answer now, Ms. Hernandez, di mi ko makukuha sa ganan. Juskong mga bata to nagkakawrinkles ako sa inyo." 'Matagal na namang marwinkles mukha mo mam eh' I thought

"Ahm ano po Force makes things move, or, more accurately, makes things change their motion. While there are two natural forces that we have experienced, they are the force of gravity and magnetic forces." I once looked at the book again.

"Are you sure with your answer, Ms. Hernandez?" She said with her wide eyes.

"Yes, maam," I answered back.

"Ok, good. Next time be more attentive. If I ever see you dozing off again, papalabasin na kita ng room. Understand?"

"Yes Ma'am, sorry po." 'Hays akala ko lalamunin niya na ko ng buhay.'

Lunch time came, and we're here in the cafeteria.

"Grabe baks epic si Mam Empi kanina noh, kita mo yung mukha niya pulang pula puno na naman ng empanada yung pisngi niya HAHAHAHAH.

Nicole is still laughing at me about what happened a while ago.

"Gaga ka kase kung di mo ko inaya kagabi maglaro ng COD, edi sana di ako inaantok ngayon." Walang gana kong sagot sa kaniya because I'm still sleepy.

"Ok beb sorna. Tsaka wala namang assignment eh." Sagot niya habang palinga linga siya sa paligid siguro naghahanap na naman ng mga gwapo grabe kabata bata pa eh.

'Kala mo naman di siya nagpopogi hunting, eh bakit ba happy crush lang naman pero di ko pagpapalit si ano, Sabi ng isip ko.

"Naghahanap ka na naman ng mga gwapo noh."

"Ssshh, shut up ka na lang Tali gurl. Gutom na kase ako beb tsaka yan na sina Alexander OMG."

I gazed at the door, and yes, he's correct; Alexander is entering the cafeteria with his friends. I looked away because I'm not confident in my appearance and I don't want him to know me. Although Nicole always tells me that it doesn't matter if I'm plus-size because all people deserve to be treated equally, it is etched in my mind how others treat me.

We patiently wait in line until it's our turn. After I got my order, I followed Nicole to our table. But because I'm not looking and my mind is floating somewhere else, I bumped into someone accidentally.

I looked up, and I was so devastated when I realized who I bumped into. It's Veron, my number one bully since elementary school and the reason why I have low confidence. Nasanay na lang ako sa kaniya. Pasok sa kaliwang tenga, then labas sa kanan.

"Omg, my Gucci bag, what have you done? You baboy aaarrgggh!

"I'm sorry, Veron." I quickly cleaned the tray and got up to my feet.

'Hays sa lahat ba naman ng mababangga ngayon itong bruhilda pa na ito.

"Hoy babaitang hipon tigil tigilan mo ang friendship ko ha, lagi mo na lang siyang pinagtitripan. Eh kung iginataan kaya kita diyan. Ba't kase tanghaling tanghali at alam mo namang maraming tao dito at siksikan dadalhin mo pa yang gucci bag mo." Nicole fired back to Veron. Hays masamang magalit talaga tong si acla mas grabe pa sa babae kung magbunganga

"Why do you care, ba bakla ha, palibhasa? You're just a hampas lupa, and you can't afford this bag, eh?

"Omg girl, pigilan mo ko tinawag akong slap soil, eh kayang kaya kong bilhin masamang pagkatao niyan.

"Beb tama na tara na, sa room na lang tayo kumain." Hinihigit ko na paalis don si Nocole dahil baka mamaya magkasakitan pa sila.

"Come back here, you bi***.

"Hoy hindi ako bi*** baka ikaw na haliparot ka ha."

Di pa rin sila tumitigil sa pagbabangayan, kahit na nilalayo ko na siya kay Veron. 'Hay sakit sa bangs ng mga to walanjo.

Finally, makakalabas na kami sa cafeteria ng mapatingin ako sa dulong lamesa, and to my horror, Xander is looking at me intently with his curious eyes. 'Mahihimatay ata ako, nakatingin siya homayghad.
