A Beautiful Disaster

Chapter 4

Ella’s POV

Sinubukan kong bilisan yung lakad ko kasi may animales na humahabol sa akin at ayoko munang makita ang pagmumukha niya. It’s too early to have my day ruined by this egotistic freak.

“Hey, Gab! Wait up!” He yelled across the hallway.

Huminto ako at hinarap siya ng magkasalubong ang kilay, “Ano na naman, dela Vega?! Lunes na lunes mamb-bwisit ka?!”

He drew his hands up in the air, “Woah there! What happened to the sweet, meek, and gentle little Ella I’ve known before?”

Yeah right. You think I’ll be the same Ella you get to bully before at hindi magre-react? You’re wrong.

“Long dead and gone.” Sabi ko habang napatuloy sa paglalakad.

“Oy teka! Baka nakakalimutan mo atraso mo sakin?”

Huminto ulit ako sa paglalakad at humarap ulit sa kanya, siguro kung posible, magkadikit na yung dalawa kong kilay ngayon sa sobrang inis, “As far as I remember, wala akong kasalanan sayo.”

“You forgot about my birthday.”

“Duhh? Not my fault.”

“Whatever. We have a deal, remember? We’re gonna do things my way, you follow, or you can say goodbye to your precious little secret hidden in a pink envelope, you like that?”

I grunted at his wickedness, “Fine. What is it that you want?”

“Let’s start with our mission,”

Ngayon ko lang napansin na ang daming mata na pala ang nakatingin samin. Well, mostly sa kanya dahil puro girls lang naman and if there’s any chance that a guy would be here, he’ll probably shrug it off and walk away because the leading lady in this ‘freakshow’ isn’t as hot enough as Nina Dobrev or Mila Kunis.

“Hey guys!” Sigaw ni Alex at pumalakpak ng dalawang beses, calling everyone’s attention.

I crossed my arms, what is he up to?

Yung mga mata ng babae dito sa corridor, nagkikintaban, kala mo naman diyos ‘tong si Alex, kulang na lang halikan nila yung paa. Pweh.

“This girl,” he pointed his index finger in my direction, lumingon ako sa likod ko para tingnan kung sino yung tinuturo niya sa direksyong yon only to find a wall, “Right here,” he continued.

Ako naman, clueless sa nangyayari ay tinuro lang ang sarili ko at tinanong kung ako ba yung tinuturo.

“Oo, ikaw, Gabriella Ysabelle Santos, ikaw ang tinuturo ko,” Nilapit niya yung bibig niya sa tenga ako which caused the group of girls to shriek in excitement, too much closeness, “At pwede ba, tumayo ka lang dyan and don’t try to ruin what I’m doing? Just ride.” He whispered in my ear.

At that moment, parang gusto kong sikuin yung tagaliran niya at tadyakan yung paa niya, but I’m afraid of William, finding out about my secret so I got on with the act at nagkunwaring napangiti ng may konting hiya.

Sana lang naipalabas ko ang gusto kong mangyari sa mukha ko at hindi magmukhang natatae dahil sa inis at kaba sa pakana nitong kutong lupang to.

I’m pretty confident about my acting skills because I wouldn’t be in the Arts Department if I don’t even have the slightest clue on how to act. Let's say iba ang sectioning ng highschool dito sa university na to.

You're grouped according to your skills, talents, or passion. may Arts, Sports, Acads, and more. As for me, I ended up in the Arts Department. Pero nung first year, back when I used to play badminton, syempre Sports. I never got the chance to be in the Acads Department though. LOL. Okay back to reality.
