Chapter 8: Drag Race
______________________________________
Victoria's POV
Naligo nalang ako dito sa may locker room. May extra uniform naman akong dala. Well, three extra uniforms actually. Tinatamad na akong bumalik sa klase. Kaya naisipan kong pumunta sa field.
Humiga ako sa isang puno at nagpahinga. Pinikit ko naman ang mata ko.
I still remember the day when I visited this school when I was a kid. Ito yung puno na tinatambayan namin ng best friend ko. His name is rick-rick. Sa tagal tagal namin naging kaibigan, I forgot all about him.
All I know is his nickname and what he looks and most of our moments.
Itong punong tinatambayan namin, ito din yung puno kung saan una niya ako nakilala. Una kaming nagkakilala.
I was a kid back then, 6 years old to be exact. Evey time na pinapayagan akong lumabas ay dito ang diretso ko. How I miss my unknown bestfriend.
Miss ko na si baboy ko.
After a minute of silence, not thinking anything, I felt a presence of someone. He or she was staring at me.
I can't help to talk since it was already more than a minute and he or she was just staring at me.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer" sabi ko. Hindi naman siya nagsalita kaya minulat ko na ang mata ko.
"You could stare at me at this moment but picture will last longer, slowpoke" tamad na sabi ko. Slow kase.
Pinikit niya naman mata niya na parang pinipigilang magalit.
"You're in my place" nagtitimping sabi niya.
"How? You're there, and i'm here" sabi ko but I guess he slip with it easily.
"Exactly. I can't get there because you are there" sabi niya in a sarcastic way. Tch.
I just stared at him with my expressionless face. Napansin kong gusto niyang mag-isa kaya after a couple of second ay tumayo na ako.
"Oh. Then stay there" sabi ko na lamang at naglakad na paalis.
Hinawakan niya ako sa kamay ko, napatingin naman ako sa kanya, "What?"
"Why are you hiding?" Natanong niya. What the hell? Ganun na ba ako kahalata na may tinatago ako? Or maybe may gusto lang siyang malaman sa akin?
Huh, well then, I'll play your game, mister.
I remained my self calm and expressionless.
"Hiding? What do you mean by that?" Tanong ko.
"Being a nerd. You're hiding yourself" sabi niya. I gave him a glare.
"It doesn't mean your hiding if your a nerd. What if it is the thing that describes you?" sabi ko at inirapan ko siya.
"For you, it doesn't. You are more like a princess. You look more like a gangster. A gangster princess" sabi niya na nakapagpahinto sakin.
How I miss that someone is telling me that. Pero hindi dapat ako magpadala by words. I don't know him, and i know i don't trust him. I can't trust him.
"Bahala ka diyan kung anong gusto mong isipin. Take note that i am just a nerd" sabi ko at umalis.
Bahala siya jan sa buhay niya. Basta ako, gusto ko munang maglaro. Maybe, a drag race can help.
