ISANG malakas na paghila ng buhok ang naramdaman ni Ashannah nung papasok na sya sa gate ng kanilang paaralan. Agad syang napaatras dahil galing sa likod ang humila ng buhok nya
"Ouch!" daing nya nang higpitan ng kung sino man ang pagkakasabunot sa kanya
"Did you know what Ashannah? Ythaniel left me at the bar last night because of you" the person whispered in her ears and she knows who it is. Napangiwi sya sa sinabi nito
"I don't know what you're talking about Paulina. Let go of my hair please" Ashannah pleaded. Marami rami na rin ang nanonood sa munting eksina nila dahil naka harang sila sa daan papasok sa paaralan. As long as she can control her Patience, she will. She's not that kind of a girl na papatol agad sa umaaway sa kanila. She knows when to fight back
"You don't know? Ipapaalala ko lang sa'yo Ashannah. Mag isa ka lang sa mansion nyu kagabi dahil nasa out of town ang mga magulang nyu ni Ythaniel kaya kinakailangan nyang umuwi para may makasama ka. He left me alone at the bar just to babysit you!" Mariing saad ni Paulina na ikinangiwi ni Ashannah. Pinikit nya ng mariin ang mga mata nang higpitan ni Paulina ang pagkakasabunot sa kanya. Nakahawak sya sa kanyang buhok para kahit papaano ay mabawasan ang sakit ng pagkakasabunot ni Paulina sa kanya ngunit ramdam nya parin ang pag init ng anit nya.
"Ano ba ang ikinagagalit mo Paulina? Hindi ka naman girlfriend ng kapatid ko pero kung maka asta ka parang jowa ka nya ah?" Sagot ni Ashannah kay Paulina na ikinagalit ng huli
"You b*tch!" Galit na sigaw ni Paulina at kinaladkad si Ashannah habang hila hila ang buhok ng huli
"Ouch! Let go of me Paulina! You're hurting me!" sigaw ni Ashannah kay Paulina habang tumutulo ang luha nya dahil sa sakit ng pagkakasabunot nito. Napahinto si Paulina sa paglalakad kaya napahinto din sya
"Y-Ythaniel?"
"Let go of her. Now!" isang baritonong boses ang narinig ni Ashannah bago binitiwan ni Paulina ang buhok nya. Inayos ni Ashannah ang buhok at yumuko
"What do you think you're doing, Ms. Ramiso?" Ythaniel ask in a cold deep voice
"I... I was just giving her a lesson" Paulina answered
"I am her brother and I don't do such things because I know that my sister knows what is right and what is wrong. Do you think that dragging her while pulling her hair is right? Is that what you want her to learn from you?" A very serious tone Ythaniel used that made Paulina felt nervous while Ashannah is doing her best to contain her sobs
"It's you fault! You left me at the bar last night! I thought we're having fun?" Paulina shouted. Ythaniel remain stoic
"That is what you thought, Ms. Ramiso. If I saw you hurting or pulling my sister's hair next time I won't think twice to call your parents at the Dean's office. Dare me" Ythaniel's words before leaving everyone with Ashannah. Huminto sila sa tapat ng school clinic
"Is it still hurt? Are you in pain?" Ythaniel ask his sister while wiping her tears.
"Uhm... Yeah... a little, Brother" Ashannah answered. Ythaniel took a deep breath then he hold Ashannah's shoulder
"I told you to stay away from trouble, Asheng! Why are you so hard headed?" Ythaniel's said in frustration
"Ehh? I am not the one who's coming in trouble. It's the trouble who's always after me" Ashannah answered while pouting in front of Ythaniel
"You.... You.... Argh!.. It is because you're a trouble magnet!" Ythaniel answered her
"Hey! that was below the belt brother!" Ashannah shouted
"But that's the truth" Ythaniel countered back
"Argh!! I hate you!" Ashannah tapping her foot at the ground while still pouting her lips. Ythaniel mess his sister's hair
