Killing Camp (EDITING)

KAPITULO II

Chapter Two : Queenie

Head count! One.. two.. three.. and.. Seventeen. Everyone is present. Check.

Location: Check!

Bus: Check!

“Natatakot ako. Para kasi akong kinakabahan.” Mikaela said.

“Don’t be. “ I said. To make her relax. “ Akyat na sa bus. “ Half-smiling, umakyat siya sa bus kasabay si Avy. Her best of friends. I bit my lip. That should be me.

“Gurl! Nag emo ka na naman dyan!” Tonie waved her hand. Nasa bus na siya. Smiling at the window.

Pinauna na namin ni Elise ang iba, making sure na walang maiiwan sa current location namin.

This place is province. They’ll be frozen to death pagka iniwan naming sila dito. After three days pa ang dating nang susunod na bus. Or perhaps, they’ll die because of hunger, no?

Nang sumignal na si Elise, ibig sabihin nakaakyat na  ang lahat at kaming tatlo na lang ang hindi pa. Sa aming lahat, ako ang huling umakyat.

Pumwesto ako sa likod  ng bus. Sa dulong dulo, yung pinaka mahabang upuan. Putting my earphones on, removing my care to the world.

As I scan the people on the bus, I started describing them and here’s what I got. To summarize it all:

The Bullies: Elise, the sarcastic straight forward person. Siya yung pinaka magaling maghandle  sa amin. Matalino rin at maganda. Bully but knows her limitation. I really admire her. Next to Elise is Janine. She’s bubbly and really talkative too. She’s genius but definitely and absolutely lazy! Addicted to wattpad. Together with Bhea. Bhea, the girl who’s really loud. Demanding. Medyo bossy, kaya ayun kahit pasaway ang boys, napapasunod niya.

Sa likod naman nung tatlo ay sina Richmond at Erl.

The Typical Guys:Si Richmond, typical high school guy. Magulo, snob, medyo gentleman and such. Si Erl? Mahirap idescribe. Parang ganun na rin siguro.

Sa likod, bandang right, mga dati kong ka close.

The Fashionista Duo: Sa middle, Sina Avy at Mikaela. A perfect combination. Mikaela, the shy one and Avy, the loud one. Opposite attracts? Maybe the clothes, the watches and such are their connection or err- bound?

The Typical Girls: Si Chesca, typical high school student din. Mahilig magbasa. Magaling sa arts. Best friend ni Cathrine. And speaking of Cathrine, cold yan sa iba. Pero sa mga kaibigan niya, sobrang daldal. How I miss the old times. (So probably, I WAS typical.)

Sa leftside naman na nagiisa, si Andrew. He’s anti social. He’s a weird one. He likes Cathrine. Wala. Peg ebeg nga naman.

On the front,  my ex-bestfriend together with her oh-so-loving boyfriend. Being lovey dovey again. Both loud. Gawd.

Balik sa right, si Ellaine, she’s a he. Well, pinakagalante. Mabait.  She’s talking to ate Jasmine at the moment.  Ellaine plays guitar and ate Jasmine plays piano. Maybe I should call them, ‘The Musicians’ or gawin ko na lang ding Duo?

And here I am, just like Andrew, alone. Absolutely alone. Together with my books, traveling in a peaceful place. I sighed. This trip might bore me. I bit my lip harder. Im so pissed off. Supposedly, magpapakasaya ako. Ano ‘to? I feel so sad.

Closing my eyes, feeling the cold air and listening to my MP3. Listening to John Lennon.

Noong nakalma na ako, may bwisit na bumato sa akin ng cheesecake. So I shrieked, “WHO THE HELL DID THAT?”

No one dared to talk. Many sets of eyes are staring at me, and hell, I don’t care. I just want to know who did that horrible thing to me. Hindi sa OA ako, pero ayoko lang talaga nang may nasasayang na food. Marami nang nagugutom, including me!

“My gosh Queenie, pagkain lang yan. " Nakalabing saad ni Chesca.

I ignore her and rolled my eyes.

"My gosh Queenie. Parang pagkain lang naman yan. hays. Immature." Paula reacted.

"PISS.OFF."

"Shut up. For tokwa's sake! Hanggang dito ba naman?!" Agad akong napatingin kay Elise na sobrang sawa na makinig sa araw araw na diskusyon sa room. Month of October ngayon. Actually nakalimutan ko yung date. Hindi naman kasi kelangan pa.
