A Very Bad Day

          "Sabi ko sayo eh!" pagmamalaking sinabi ni Xyred.

          I rolled my eyes. Kinuha ko ung Physics book and notebook ko at linapag sa arm chair ko. Nakita ko na nakatingin pa rin ung mga kaklase ko sa akin. Na-self conscious tuloy ako.

          "Please stop staring at me," I begged and hid my face with my hands. "It's making me feel uncomfortable," I added.

          "AWWW!!! Na-seself conscious sya! Ang cuteeeee!!" sabi ng isa kong kaklase.

         I groaned internally and looked at our professor for help but she seemed to find me cute too. I glared at Xyred for putting me in this situation but he just laughed at me. Lagot talaga sakin tong lalaki na to pagkatapos ng klase.

         "Magkaklase pa po ba tayo, Miss? Kase kung hindi, aalis na ako. Waste of time eh," blurted out Selynna rudely.

          Our professor looked shocked at her rude comment, pati na rin ung iba kong mga classmates. Selynna just rolled her eyes. Bastos talaga tong babae na to ah!

          "Wag ka nga ganyan kay Prof!" sabi ni Xyred.

          Selynna snorted, "Eh gusto ko eh. Tumahimik ka nalang dyan."

          Grabe na tong babae na to ah! She's really gonna make me explode with anger.

          The whole class was silent after Selynna's retort. Everyone was looking at our prof. para malaman kung anong gagawin niya sa rudeness ni Selynna.

         "You... Selynna... DETENTION!!" our teacher shouted. Selynna only chuckled. She didn't seem too affected about detention.

         "Edi wow," I heard her mutter under her breath.

         "Hoy, Selynna! Wag ka nga ganyan sa teacher ah! Hindi nakatuwa. Tinuturuan ka para maging maayos tapos ginaganyan mo? Tsaka hindi libre ung tuition mo ah! Pinapaghirapan yan ng parents mo! Ayusin mo nga ung sarili mo!" I scolded her. Medyo nagulat ung iba kasi ang alam nila ay hindi ako nagtatagalog.

         "You sound like my mom," Selynna commented and rolled her eyes. Aughhhh!!! Bastos talaga tong babae na to! Nakakaasar na talaga siya ah

         Biglang tumayo si Selynna and she headed to the door.

         "Bye, idiots!" she said with a smile.

         Walanghiya ung Selynna na un ah!

         "Miss, kick out nalang un!" One of my classmates suggested.

         All of us agreed. Professor Cindy sighed, "Hindi kase ganun kadali un eh. Tsaka wala tayong proof. Wala namang video na evidence na Selynna is a very rude kid."

         "Pa-good girl un si Selynna kapag nandyan ung principal and vice principal eh," singit nung isa.

        "Okay, guys! Wag na natin pag-usapan ung Selynna na un! Pag-usapan nalang natin ung itsura ni smart-aleck kapag wala siyang jacket!" biglang sabi ni Xyred. Aughhh... dinivert nya ung attention ng lahat papunta sa akin.

          "Wag ka na mag jacket, Yhuki!"

          "Oo nga! Ang gwapo mo kapag wala kang jacket."

          "Bagay sayo na walang jacket."

          Sunod-sunod ang pag-compliment sa akin ng mga classmates ko. Mukhang mahihirapan akong makalabas para sa lunch mamaya. Lagot talaga si Xy sakin. Tinuloy na namin ung Physics class namin at nakikita ko pa rin na tinitignan ako ng mga classmates ko. Augh.. Bakit naman kasi ako gumawa ng deal against Xyred?

          "RINGGG!!"

          "Yes!" bulong ni Xyred sakin. "Lunch na!" He added.

          "Wagas naman ung happiness mo. Parang first time mong mag-lunch."

          "Hindi naman kase yun eh. Makikita na ng whole school ang kagwapuhan ni Yhuki Francisco!"

           My eyes widened. Oo nga! Hala, ayoko na!!

          "Uhmm... Xyred, may gagawin pa pala ako. Hindi na ako sasama mag-lunch sayo," I lied. I needed an excuse. Ayoko na makita ako ng buong school.

          He pouted, "So mag-isa ako maglulunch? Mamaya na yang gagawin mo. Tutulungan kita! Magmumukha akong loner dun. Pleaseee..."

          "Sorry..."

          "..."

          Awkward silence ang sumunod sa conversation namin.

          Pupunta na sana ako away from the cafeteria pero bigla akong hinila ni Xyred. Da fudge? Sabi ko nga may gagawin ako eh!

          "Wag kang madaya! This was part of the deal, remember?" He said, regaining his cheerfulness. Hanggang langit nanaman ung ngiti niya.

          "Wala naman to sa deal ah!" I complained as he dragged me inside the cafeteria.

          "Too late, smart-aleck," he said with a smirk after he succesfully dragged me inside the cafeteria and had everybodies eyes' on me.

            I hid my face as Xyred and I headed our way to our table. I could still feel that people were looking at me.

          "Pwede ba na sa ibang place nalang tayo mag-lunch?" I pleaded quietly to Xyred.

          "Just let me finish buying food," Xyred replied. I nodded and sat down on a seat near the exit. Xyred smiled at me then ran to buy his lunch. I was avoiding looking at the people's stares of amazement when someone approached me.

          A small petite brunette was staring at me shyly. She had two of her friends along. The cafeteria was suddenly quiet. Everybody was staring at her. Well, us actually... I saw Xyred choke on the fries he was eating. I gulped.

          I coughed and bit my lip, "Yes?"

          "Uhmm... I just ano... I just wanted to say hi?" she replied unsurely.

          "Okay then... Hi," I greeted her awkwardly.

          "Oh my god, you're hot!" her friend blurted out.

         I was shocked. Then they ran away. Okay, what the fudge just happened there?

         "Tara na, Yhuki," Xyred said. I didn't even notice he was there already. He was drinking soda and was holding a plate full of spaghetti with his other hand.

          I nodded and we looked for a place where not many people go to. Xyred suggested na sa library na lang kumain pero I reminded him na bawal ang food dun. Naisip ko na sa gym pero they are currently having cheerleader try-outs. Baka akalain na gusto kong maging cheerleader para kay Xyred. We were walking sa hallway when may narinig kaming umiiyak.

          Hinanap namin ung voice and guess kung sino ung nakita namin na umiiyak?

          Si Selynna.
