I didn't know why I suddenly felt off the moment I saw him flirtatiously talking to a girl, it felt like something inside me was against it. Maybe I was just thinking too much to the point it has a detrimental effect already. Ate Thalia sent me outside the gate because I was picked up by my mom because we'll go to Cebu to go shopping as she said.
"Hi, sweetheart. How's your day?!" Mom asked the moment I got inside our SUV. She was wearing a red long sleeve dress right now bringing her designer bag.
I sat beside her at the backseat while letting out a sigh. My mind was left at school, especially at Art Tedeco's. Later will be the victory party, meaning to say he'll be talking and flirting with girls he flirted with again. They'd dance, he'd kiss her, or even more than that. Napapikit nalang ako sa naiisip ko.
Wait, why was I bothered though?! At first I should've not cared about him, about his girls. Because of the crazy thought running in my head, it took me too long to respond to my mom.
"May problema na naman ba? Just tell me so I can address it right away to the Dean."
"Mom, it's just nothing." I assured her, smiling.
"Just make sure, hija. If they're not treating you right here, I'll kick them out in school." She strongly said.
"Mom, I'm fine! It's getting better. I swear!"
The SUV started moving now as we were about to leave the province. Cebu was just a 2 hour drive from Marci Alli. Dadaan muna kami sa La Viste City before arriving at Cebu City.
I just diverted my attention to that instead of thinking about things that would only make me feel uneasy. wasn't really invested into makeup products, I only used them for special occasions, but I was always interested in learning how to apply it. Makeup was adorable, it was a lovely addition to a girl's life. My mom had a strong passion for make up, and I was gradually picking up skills from her.
I love girly things.
When we arrived at the city, we stopped by to a restaurant to eat our late lunch then after that we decided to go to the stores on where we can buy things. My mom loved to shop, I didn't have that kind of interest, but it's nice. Most women do that because it was somehow therepuetic for them. We bought clothes and other stuff first before going back to the province.
I had fun in Cebu because on the weekend, we stayed in my grandparents' house. All we did was to go shopping that's why when we got back at home on Sunday since on Monday it's gonna be a regular class again. It was already night when we arrived, there were actually many things my mom bought for me and Ate Thalia.
Hinanap ko si Ate Thalia because I already planned the things I wanted to give to her. I even wrote a cute note so she would like it more.
"Isabela!" She was too excited when she got inside my room. I was about to stand to find her, but inunahan nya ako.
"Ate Thalia, come here! I have to give you something!" I was too excited to give her the things I bought for her with my own allowance.
"Nakakahiya naman..." When she heard that, she slowly walked towards me.
"Ano namang nakakahiya, Ate?! It's my gift to you." I already put it all inside the paper bag. Bibigyan ko din sya ng damit na binigay sakin na hindi ko gusto at mukhang mas bagay sa kanya.
I handed her two paper bags. Sa isang paper bag nakalagay ang mga make up products na binili ko sa kanya, even different eye shadow palettes. Hindi sya nagmi-make up, but I wanted to give her products. I also put a journal and a planner, and the book she likes. Sa isang paper bag naman ay mga damit na ibinigay sakin na hindi ko nagustohan. She looked at it, nanlake mga mata nya, even covering her mouth out of shock.
