Fire, Storm, and Flood
A lot of people around my age find me weird. Kaya madalas sa mga nakakatanda sakin ako nakikisama dahil hindi naman nila ako iniisipan ng masama. Pero kapag kaedad ko ay parang sinasabihan akong masyadong seryoso sa buhay o di kaya ay boring.
I don't consider myself boring; I simply have a different set of interests and definitions of enjoyment. I don't enjoy partying or drinking alcohol, I don't like making out with random boys, and I don't really have any sex experiences; instead, I prefer to experiment, read, and craft. They may look at me as an elderly woman, yet these interests give me with harmony.
For me, science is a domain of unknowns. I get excited when I discover something mysterious and all I have to do is experiment with it. As I become older, my enthusiasm for science grows stronger. It appears like my life's mission is to hone my expertise and comprehension.
Kaya ayaw sakin ng mga babae kong kaklase, because they feel pressured around me. They see me as an overambitious woman, and most of their parents constantly compare them to me.
"Eve hindi ka pa ba tapos dyan? Gutom na gutom na ako!" Reklamo ni Sariah, my best friend and my cousin.
Mabuti nalang ay may pinsan ako na malapit sa age ko kaya kahit papano ay may kaibigan naman ako dito sa university. Sariah is my cousin and she's the only girl best friend that I have. Sobrang layo pa nga ng ugali namin sa isa't isa kasi may pagka-yolo siya. Madalas si Sariah na ang namimilit sakin na sumama sakanya kapag may party siyang pupuntahan para daw maexperience ko man lang.
Pero ang hindi ko gagawin na pilit niya pinapa-alala niya sakin ay —
"Alam mo ba, si Trix kanina fineflex niya na 5 hours daw silang nagsesex nung boyfriend niya." She randomly said which made my brows furrowed.
Kapag ba ganitong age ko, they are so eager to experience fucking? What the hell? 5 hours? May sperm pa ba na lumabas sa lalaki non?
"Pati ba naman yon kinukwento na ngayon?" I asked her innocently, while examining the Lactobacillus bacteria under the microscope.
"Well, di ko din alam. Pero sa batch natin feel ko ikaw nalang matitirang virgin dito."
"Don't tell me you're planning to fuck some random guys too?"
"Grabe ka naman sa random guys ante! Di naman ako ganun na fubu ang habol!" She said while laughing loudly na feeling ko rinig hanggang sa labas ng laboratory namin. "Ang ibig kong sabihin ay saatin dalawa ay alam ko naman na una ako magkakajowa sayo noh. Atsaka syempre kapag sure na ako sa jowa ko, why not —"
"Tigil ka na nga! Ako yung nangingilabot sayo!" I stopped her immediately kasi super uncomfy na ako sa usapan namin. Kung gusto nila ng sex, go ahead. Pero huwag na nila ikuwento.
Bakit ikamamatay ko ba kung ako nalang ang tuyong pechay sa batch namin?
"Bilisan muna kasi dyan! Kanina pa kaya nagchachat sakin si Frost." She said while throwing her lollipop in the trash can.
"Kanina pa siya nasa canteen?"
"Opo, mga 25 minutes na siyang nakaupo don."
I immediately fix my journals, books, and pencils and put them in my backpack. Masyado ako nag-enjoy gumamit ng microscope na nakalimutan ko na hinihintay nga pala kami ni Frost sa canteen. Galit pa nga si Sariah sakin kasi iniinom niya pa daw yung yakult tapos bigla kong kinuha para lang ilagay sa microscope at sabihin sakanya na may gumagalaw na bacteria doon.
