Part 1: Knight and Shining Armor

~2009~

He was 10 years old and I was 9 that time when I met him. First impression didn't go well like in the movies. He is my number one morning breaker and a certified bully. He always tease me because of my curly and frizzy hair. He's good at making fun of me and always make some funny nicknames about me like "pancit". I mean really! what's wrong with my hair, even if it's curly it's always a hair. Duh!

And I hate him because of that. Every time I saw him approaching towards me, I ran as fast as I could to escape him. And when I ran I never dare to look back. It's what my parents said every time I got home crying, maybe the 'just avoid him' operation didn't work as we thought. My parents didn't even make a move to those people.

I get so sick and tired of everyday routine. He teases me and I ignore him, and not only him!

Then the day came that I'll never forget, the day that changes my thoughts about him.

His name was Miko Malaga.

When I was walking at the street to our school which is Bimbo Public School. I saw three boys same as my age approaching my direction. There talking and laughing loudly. I recognized them as Jojo, Andoy, and Omar, they're also bullies in our school. I had this feeling urge to run, bit I didn't do it. I just bow down my head a little bit, looking at the road I stepped into. I know that they will never notice me since I'm ugly. JUST LIKE WHAT MIKO SAID. But it turns out I was wrong.

"Hey it's ms. Pancit!" Omar said while pointing at me.

"Hello ms. Pancit did you eat your hair for breakfast this morning?" Jojo said teasingly while holding my hair.

"Hahaha! is it delicious?" Andoy added.

They all laugh because of that stupid joke. I mean really. Unlike them they had no hair. Our teachers face them to cut it since its to long, and the fact that there so dirty to look at. I just didn't mind them and tied my hair. There, they will not tease me anymore. Stupid hair! Why do I have this kind of hair anyway?! Well, I tried my best to escape while they're still laughing about my hair... But then...

"Hey! Where do you think your going? I'm not done with you yet, so don't be rude and stay where you are!" Jojo said with a strong and authoritative tone, while holding my arm.

"Can't you guys complete your day without teasing and bullying me?" Wait, did I just said that?! I didn't take a hold of my mouth. Oh no, I am so dead!

"What did you say?" Jojo said with an irritated voice. "Huh?!" He make a tight grip on my arm that cause me to shout out of pain.

"OUCH!" I tried pull my arm out from his hands. But what can I do? He's so strong. I'm just a little girl. God help me!! Jojo looked at me, it's disgusting to see that maniac look of his.

"Hmm, what if I'll kiss you in the cheek as a payment for insulting as earlier." Jojo glance to see if his friends agree of what he said. And unfortunately they are.
