Am I Not Enough?

10

After Sir Mario discussed, it's now our recess time. Lumabas na kami sa classroom namin and I saw Kuya Sandro's car parked. So, it means na meron pa siya.

"Chico, it's your turn for you to buy us food." Sambit ni Seb habang naglalakad kami papuntang canteen.

"Hey, Rie? That's your Kuya's car, right?" Nica exclaimed while staring at Kuya Sandro's car. Alam ni Nica ang sasakyan ni Kuya dahil palagi sila ni Max sa bahay.

"Uhm, yeah." Tipid kong sagot and looked at the car.

"Why is he here? Is there something wrong?" Chico added wondering.

"He's just gonna discuss something to the principal." I said and looked sa floor na dinadaanan namin. "Don't mind him nalang." I added.

"Bullies again, hmm?" Seb whispered. And I just gave him a smile, meaning tama siya.

Seb pat my shoulders, assuring that it's okay.

"What do you guys want?" Chico mumbled. "My gosh! faster, guys!" He added.

"Dutchmill sakin, Chics." I said to him and gave my money.

"That's it?" Seb asked me and stared at me. He knows something's off.

"Uhm, yeah. I'm kinda full." I exclaimed to him.

"Are you sure?" He added. I just nodded.
"One chuckie, two jumpee's for me."

"How about you, Nica?" Chico asked Nica. "Tagal ha." He exclaimed again.

"Coke and two oreos." Nica answered and gave Chico her money.

Chico went na where he'll buy. Me, Nica, and Seb looked for a table. May nahanapan na kami. You may wonder where's Kuya Kyle, he's outside the canteen may katawag.

"Are you well, Rie?" Nica asked. "Did something happened?"she exclaimed more. "Yeah, something's off here." Seb added. AHH, they know me so well.

"I'm okay. It's not a big deal. It's all good." I said and smiled at them. 

"Remember, Rie. We're here for you, okay? We'll not leave you." Nica murmured and hugged me.

"Thankyou, guys." I said to them. "Always, Rie." Seb smiled.

We're just talking about some stuffs when Kuya Kyle called me. "Rie, pwede kabang lumabas?" Sabi niya sakin at tumingin sa labas. Oh, it's Kuya.

"Sige po, Kuya. Wait lang po." I responded to him. "Excuse me, guys." I excused my self to my friends and tumayo ako.

Habang naglalakad palabas ng canteen, naririnig ko ang mga chismisan ng mga grade 10.

"Uy, ayan nanaman siya. may security panga." A girl whispered to her friends but enough for me to hear.

"Yabang talaga oh." Sabi naman ng isang lalaki. Kuya Kyle looked at me. For sure narinig niya rin ang mga yun. I just fake smiled.

Baka sabihin niyo I don't speak up for myself. No, I just let them be. They don't know my life. They're too immature para maintindihan yun. My parents taught me how to be humble and wag pansinin ang mga naninira.

'Let them be, anak. It reflects who they are. You don't need to explain yourself to them.' These are my mom exacts words when I was 6 years old and she's brushing my hair.

"Oh. Hey, Kuya." I exclaimed to him. "What's up?" I added not smiling.

"I need names." He muttered asking names. He's pertaining to the names of my bullies.

"What? Why?" Patay malisya kong sabi.

"You know what I mean, Victorine." He said seriously and looked at me.

"But, Kuy—" He cutted me off. What the hell? Rude much.

"Names, NOW." He exclaimed and diniinan ang last word.
