*Ms. Bitter*
THE ENCOUNTER
“Ms. Lonzaga. You’re late.” sabi sa akin ng prof pagkapasok ko ng room. Five minutes akong late eh. Kainis!
Si Nessy kasi tinawag tawag pa ako sa quadrangle para lang ipakita sa akin yung crush niya na nakasabayan niya . As if naman may pakialam ako dun.
Actually may paki alam naman talaga ako, bestfriend ko si Nessy eh. I want him to be happy but I don’t want him to get hurt. I don’t want him to feel what I felt.
Sakit lang naman kasi ang naiidudulot ng love eh.
That’s my view about it. That’s what I believe in.
What’s the sense of being happy if in the end you’ll just end up crying? What’s the point of loving someone who won’t appreciate your worth? Bakit pa di ba? Masasaktan lang kayo in the end.
Pag natapos na, ikaw lang ang kawawa, ikaw lang ang iiyak, at ikaw lang ang maiiwang umaasa. And that’s the last thing I want my bestfriend to feel. To feel a terrible pain.
“Sorry prof.” Nagmamadali na akong lumakad papunta sa desk ko ng bigla niya akong tinawag.
“Ms. Lonzaga, come here for a minute.”
Lumapit naman ako. Ano kayang sasabihin niya. About sa grades ko siguro. Sana naman tumaas na, grabe din aral ko sa subject na to.
“This is Mr. Perez, his your new classmate.” Pakilala niya dun sa lalaking kung maka titig sakin kanina eh wagas.
I’m not giving malice in the way he stared at me. Pero maiinis ka kasi nakakaloko yung ngiti niya pagkatapos niya akong tingnan.
I know I’m not attractive and my hair isn’t the nicest. I don’t follow new fashion trends at kung ano man ang uso. I don’t give a care about those things. Gusto ko lang yung comportable ako at nakakagalaw ng maayos just like what I wear today. Skirt na hanggang tuhod at simple shirt with blazer. Hindi naman talaga ako palaging naka palda, trip ko lang ngayon . Pake niya.
“Hi.” Sabi ko sa kanya but I didn't get a reply.
“You will be his guide for the week Ms. Lonzaga.” Sabi ni prof sakin. “And help him with the lessons he missed.”
“Ho? I don’t need a guide, I can manage it and if you’re worried about the lessons I missed,” his lips turned up. “Don’t worry about it, I can handle it. Try me.” Pa cool niyang sabi.
Ayy. Sinabi ko bang cool? Erase yun. Ang yabang nang pagkakasabi niya. Over confident masyado.
“No, I insist. The note came from the dean. And Janine here is a part of the Student Government Body so it’s part of her job to be your guide Mr. Perez.”
Yups. Tama kayo sa pagkakabasa. I’m a representative ng school’s government body. Cool diba? And I'm so proud of being part of it. One of my job is yun nga maging guide ng mga bagong students. I’ve done this job a lot of times since I was nominated so this task is just a piece of cake for me.
“Okay, if you insist. Pero bakit siya?” tiningnan niya ako ulet ng ‘head to toe’ stare. Nakakaloko na talaga to.
“Why not? She’s good and she’s one of my best students so matutulungan ka niya sa subject na to.”
