As soon as I got home, I slammed the door shut behind me. Fuck, why the hell did I even do that? Anong pumasok sa isip ko to say those things?!

God... nakakahiya ka talaga Shannen ever! I shuck off my shoes and completely went inside my apartment. Nilapag ko ang bag sa sofa and plopped down, the incident earlier repeating over and over again in my head.

Ugh, kill me now... why him of all people?


I leaned my head back onto the couch and got the pillow close to me, burying my face on it and screamed... Sana hindi lang marinig ng neighbors ko.

After a few seconds of screaming my heart out of embarrassment, I decided to freshen up, baka mawala din sa isipan ko ang nangyari. I threw the pillow at the side and got up to go inside my room. As I got into the shower room, I didn't bother to turn on the heater and just went with a cold shower.

After I was done, I wore my pajamas and did my skin routine. I laid down on my bed, and– teka ano nga yung pinoproblemahan ko kanina? Bahala na nga... I made myself comfortable in my bed and closed my eyes to go to sleep.

Wait– oh my god... my bracelet!

><

"Hoy Shannen, okay ka lang? Parang namumutla ka..." Tumingin ako sa kumausap sa akin at nginitian ito.

"Haha... ayos lang, do I really look that pale?" I grabbed my compact mirror from my bag and damnit, halata pa rin ang eyebags ko, tumingin ako ulit sa kaklase ko at ngumiti, "Cr lang ako."

"Okay... gusto mo samahan na kita?"

"Nah ayos lang."

She just shrugged and walked away. I then stood up, bringing my bag with me to the restroom. On my way there, hindi ko akalain na mamalasin ako ng agang-aga. I didn't know if iiwas ako or just pretend to walk by at hindi siya nakita...

As I braced myself as we were near each other, nagulat ako when he didn't call me with the usual 'Peach' and just walked past me.

What...?

I turned my head and saw his back going further away. Did he not see me? Or maybe it was about yesterday...?

Hah, same old, same old– teka bat ka disappointed Shannen? Expected na dapat toh and besides it's a good thing pa nga since hindi ka na kukulitin ng lalake na yon. I shook my head and continued my way to the restroom.

Did he really just ignore me?

Hindi ko mapigilan isipin yun as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Teka, bat nga ako nabobother? Paulit-ulit lang ba Shannen? I grabbed a tissue and wiped my hand as I made my way back to the classroom.

Tangina talaga.

"Shannen!" I looked back and saw Cassie running towards me.

"Uy dahan-dahan lang, ano yun?" tanong ko sa kanya habang hinihingal siya, catching her breath.

"Remind lang kita sa practice this upcoming Saturday."

"I said this is temporary diba, besides Bianca is back right?"

"Eh... mas mabuti ka pang captain kesa doon eh, tsaka pangit ng ugali non ayaw ng iba pabalikin sa team."

"Ginagago niyo ba ako, sabi niyo one time lang ako? About two years ago na din yung last time mo ako na ask yan."
