Haywire

chapter 17

~Inside Vicky's Unit~

She recalled everything that has happened today. Max. Daniel. All of this was a mistake. A huge one. She looked at her watch. Time passed by so fast. It was already 8pm.

"Why? Ako na naman. Palagi na lang ako. Nahihirapan na ko. Should I just let him go? Or not?" she said as she changed to her pajamas.

"And what is this about Daniel? Is he making fun of me? Hay! Siguro too much stress 'to. All I have to do is to sleep. Haaaay. I wish all this pain can just go away." She said and lazily climbed up to her bed.

When she faced the ceiling, tears started to form in her eyes again. And yes, this night will not be different from the other nights. This would still be a sleepless night for her, crying out her emotions to the ceiling above her and at the same time battling her inner emotions.

"This night will not be a different one. I can feel it. I know I'll have to face something bigger than what I have faced today. Sana kayanin ko. I hope Chicky can help me." she said before she dozed off.

~Thursday morning, enrollment day~

Vicky woke up like it was a normal day. Ignoring the fact that she cried all night, she went straight to her bathroom and took a bath. After getting dressed, kinuha niya yung phone niya and SMSed her friends.

'Goodmorning!!!! San tayo magkikita-kita? -gm-'

She waited for their reply and finally ang ever so best friend na si Max ay nagreply.

'Goodmorning din vapor rub! Haha! Alam ko sa school na eh. Onga pala, Alana's with me. Ngayon din siya mag-eenroll.'

She smiled. "I'm happy for them." Then her smile faded. "I think."

Meanwhile, Chicky sensed something in the text. "I think she's not completely over him. Pero okay na rin yun. Kesa magpaka emo yun. Oh well." With that, she clicked REPLY and typed in "School dude.=D"

"Oh okay. Kita-kits!=D" Vicky replied.

~At the School~

"Argh! Ang tagal naman ng mga yun!" Apple groaned. She was going to get her phone when someone accidentally elbowed her.

"Aray naman! Sorry ah?!" Apple irritatingly said.

"Uy, sorry! Oh! Fuji kaw pala yan." Prince smiled.

[Smile niya parang bata, nu ba yan] Apple thought.

"Tsk, pwede ba, nasaktan na nga ako pasmile smile ka pa jan. Hmph!" sambit ni Apple.

"Eto naman, umagang umaga eh. Pati nagsorry na nga ako sungit pa din. Ba yan, anu gusto mo? Lumuhod pa ko?" sabi ni Prince na medyo nang aasar pa.

"Uy! Maganda yan! Sige sige! Luhod na dakilang alalay!" sabi ni Apple with matching taas ng right hand at tumawa ng mala evil laugh.

"..." na lang si Prince. [Baliw na ata 'tong babaeng 'to. Bakit ba kasi naging kaibigan ko pa 'to eh.]

"Oh, nu tinitingin tingin mo?! You're making my head hurt! Nasan na ba yung mga yun?!" Apple groaned.

"Easy ka lang kasi. Lahat na lang napag iinitan ng ulo mo. Pati ako na inosente nadadamay." Drama ni Prince.

O_O ang tingin ni Apple sa kanya. "Like OW EM GI! Bakla ka?!"

"Ehem. Hindi ah. Lalaki ako noh."

"Eh bakit nagpapaka-drama queen ka? Isn't that being gay?" sabi ni Apple with the mocking expression.

"Che! Isa pa, papakita ko na sayo na lalaki ako." Prince argued.

"Hmph. And how would you do that?!" Pang-asar ni Apple.

"Hahalikan kita, sige ka." he grinned.

O_O ~> expression ng mukha ni Apple. She regained her composure and immediately said, with a flushed expression, "Hahahaha!! Like you would do that! You're nothing but a wimp."

"Argh! Isa na lang talaga, nako FUJI! Matatamaan ka na sakin." Prince threatened. Oopsie, pikon na si Prince charming.

"Eh bakit pikon ka? Totoo noh?! Hahahaha!! Pati why would you hurt me? Diba hindi dapat sinasaktan ng lalaki ang babae? Kung lalaki ka nga hindi mo yun gagawin. BEH!!! =P" Apple fought back.

Natahimik si Prince. Totoo nga naman, no man should ever hurt a girl or should I say a lady. <Lady ba yang si Apple? E daig pa tigre kung manlapa ng prey eh.>

"...mmmfff..." pigil ang tawa ni Apple. Naaawa na kasi kay Prince. Eventually tumigil na siya sa pagtawa.

"Uy. *pokes Prince* Are you okay? You know what? I'd still accept you if you're gay." Apple grinned.

"That's it FUJI! Run now or else I'll really kiss you!" At nagsimula sila tumakbo.

Siguro nagtataka kayo kung bakit hanggang ngayon wala pa rin sila Chicky. Ganito kasi yun.

Dumating na sila Chicky at ang tropa ng may narinig silang parang nag aaway na hindi mo maintindihan. Eto yung narinig nilang part:

"Heh! Isa pa, papakita ko na sayo na lalaki ako." Prince argued.

"Hmph. And how would you do that?!" Pang-asar ni Apple.

"Hahalikan kita, sige ka." he grinned.

At dahil dyan sa mga linyang yan, naisip nila na huwag na muna manggulo at magtago na lang sa isang lugar kung saan hindi sila makikita nila Apple.

"Malay natin baka may mabuong attraction yang dalawang yan. Hahaha!" Singit ni Mark na nabatukan naman ni Bubbles.

"Hmm. Loko, ayan kasi. Tsk!" sabi ni Vicky.

"Sorry naman. Pero malay nga natin. Diba? Diba?" Mark insisted.

"Ewan ko sayo!" they chorused.
