Memories

Cee and RAM

I was in 2nd year high school when I first saw her. She wasn't that special. She didn't looked that good either but she doesn't care.

She was a jolly little girl who never gave a damn to what people would say to her. I never paid much attention to her though.

But it all changed since that day..

8 years ago...

I was walking down the halls, humming to myself. You could hear a needle drop in this silence.

I checked my phone for the time. 9:30

"Its already this late?!"

I walked briskly because I've been hearing strange sounds.

But my feet disobeyed me.

And as I got near to where the sound was coming from, I saw her leaning on a tree.

Crying just like a child who lost her blankie..

Out of pity, and of course confusion, I immediately grabbed my hanky and handed it to her.

"Hey!you okay?"

She stared at me blankly and said,

"You saw me crying and you're asking me if I'm okay?!" though annoyed, she grabbed my hanky and quickly wiped her face

"Thanks anyway" then she smiled widely

Whoa, this girl seriously has problems.. -.-

I was tired of walking that fast so I sat beside her

"We're classmates right? How come I never noticed you in our classroom?"

She smiled bitterly as she clipped her hair in her ear.

"Its better that way....."

"Oh, but you do have some friends?"

"Yep! They're in a different section though..hahahahaha"

And now she's laughing.. Is she crazy or what?!........

I shook the idea off..

"Hey do you mind if I ask you something?"

"Yeah, Sure..shoot!"

"Why were you crying?"

There was an awkward silence so I thought she doesn't want to answer.

"Uhm, its okay if you won't tell me"

"Nah its okay, just promise that you wont laugh?!"

(A/N: nagno-nosebleed na ako sa kaka english kaya itatagalog ko na to!)

"Sure!" Ningitian ko na lang siya. Hindi ko kasi mabasa kung ano yung ire-react niya.

"Utut mo! Kala mo naman sasabihin ko sa'yo?! Close ba tayo?!"

Bigla na lang siyang tumayo at tumakbo papalayo sakin.

Problema ba 'nun?!

Aalis na rin sana ako pero bigla akong nakarinig na parang nahulog. Pag ka lingon ko, nakita ko siya na nakadapa sa sahig.

Lalapitan ko na sana siya pero...

"AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.. TANGA MO TALAGA LEE!"

Bigla ba namang tumawa nang malakas. Kinagulat ko pa nang umiyak siya bigla-bigla.

Ewan ko ba sa babaeng to!
