NWB II: Brianna The Bitch

Twelve

F.O.

Friendship over. I really thought of it right at the moment mom spoke about Luke. But I guess I'm just over thinking. Hindi ganoon kababaw si Daphne, she wouldn't exchange our friendship for love. Me too.

"Why didn't you tell me?" now she's questioning me. We're now in the garden with these cookies mom baked.

"I thought... you'll get angry, eh."

She nodded, "I understand."

"I'm sorry...?" I wasn't sure what was my sorry for. Sa hindi ba pagsabing nakasama ko si Luke o dahil nakasama ko si Luke.

"No, it's okay. I know naman na you didn't tell me because you don't want me to get hurt, right?" her eyes were expectant. All I could do was to nod. "Well, it doesn't hurt me naman. Basta, ang kay Daphne ay kay Daphne lang, orayt?"

"Of course."

Daphne's absent today because she's going to Cebu with her family. As a result, mag-isa nanaman tuloy ako. I think I should have make friends here? But that's a no no... maraming social climber dito at wala akong balak mag pagamit sa kanila. It's fine to be alone than to get along with those users.

Wala pa kaming teacher for the last subject so I enjoyed myself observing my classmates. Actually, wala yata akong kilala sa kanila. I mean, I can recognize them by their faces but I don't know their names. I don't have the plan to know though.

Ngayon ko lang napansin na may mga classmates pala akong gwapo. But not my type. Sila 'yung tipong, gwapo lang and that's all. Walang challenge kung titignan mo. There are girls naman who needed a total transformation, ang manang kasi nila manamit! It would be fun doing them a make over I think. There are also these bitches in one corner with 1 kilo of foundation in their faces. Seriously, these girls should know how to apply make up. Hindi 'yung tirik na tirik 'yung araw, super dark ng shade ng lipstick nila.

And of course, hindi pwedeng mawala ang nerdy types. Sila 'yung nasa isang gilid and it seems like they are prisoned in their own world. At para bang sila sila lang ng kauri nila ang nagkakaintindihan. Out of curiosity, I listened to their little chitchat since nasa harap ko lang naman sila. But it was just all about books, books and yeah, books. Hindi ako interesado sa pinaguusapan nila, I'm not a bookworm.

"Guys, absent si Sir Lopez. We can go home." said by our class president. Siya lang ang kilala ko dito because she was intoduced to me by Daf. Ewan ko ba kay sa babaeng yun, so friendly.

She believes that more friends, more fun. Well, I believe that the smaller your circle, the lesser the bullshits.

Hula ko ay wala pa si Mang Paeng para sunduin ako dahil alam niyang mamaya pa ang uwi ko. I don't want to tell him naman to fetch me na kasi gusto ko munang tumambay dito sa school. Parang trip kong manood ng basketball practice ng varsity namin. I heard maraming handsome sa team namin. Just want to confirm.

Based on what I know, kapag matatapos na ang school year ay wala nang laban. So they are practicing to maintain their skills, I guess?

I entered the gym and sat on the bleacher just near the court. I felt anew. Iba na kasi ang itsura ng gym mula noong pumasok ako dito dati, that was five months ago. Feeling ko tuloy, transferee ako dahil sa paninibago ko. Oh well, manonood nalang nga ako.

Hindi na ako nagtaka kung bakit kahit practice game lang ay madami pading girls na nandito. Our varsity members are so effin' hot. Gosh, bakit ngayon lang ako napadpad dito. Kung saan saan kami nagboboy hunt ni Daphne, eh dito lang pala sa gym mabubusog na ang mga mata namin. Why are we so dumb?
