CHAPTER THIRTEEN: The Come-back

GRETEL' POV

It was never someone else's decision. It was all mine. Dala lahat ng sakit na iniwan ko sa Manila. I promised myself to become a better person out of it. I just can't be while I stayed there.

"Faggot!", "Hoy, tabatchoy".. "Dambuhala!"...

It's been 2 years since then pero napapasinghap parin ako kapag naaalala ko lahat ng pambubully nila sa akin.

I whipped my hair and fixed my mystique.

Now that I am back in the same University where it all happened, I made sure I return savage and opposite from what they were all thinking about me before. I've grown stronger and more mature. It taught me well to stand stiff and know my limits.

Sapagkat dalawang taon na ang nakalipas pero dama ko parin ang sariwa ng sakit na dinanas ko sa pangungutya ng mga tao sa paligid ko noong naririto pa ako.

Dalawang taon na ang nakalipas ngunit memoryado ko pa lahat ng masasakit na dinanas ko sa bawat sulok ng lugar na ito.

I let a heavy breath out. There is no way for all these memories to make me weak on the knees. Pinagisipan ko ng mabuti ang pagbabalik kong ito at hindi kailanman sumagi sa isip kong magpatalo sa mga hugot ng nakaraan ko.

I went through hell as depression ate me. I forgot who I was and what I believed to be. I went through an exclusive mental training which involved emotional, physical and spiritual tests for 1 month to fix myself and luckily, I passed with the help of my family and psychiatrist. But it did not end up just there, I went through extreme diet, exercise and frequented beauty clinics to tone my shape. My head was so over changing myself to a whole new different person, someone new and someone capable of everything I was so deprived of before: Respect.

I shut off myself from the real world, quit school during the first year to focus on regaining myself and just went back on the 2nd year only to find myself still not happy of how much I have changed. I still dream of all those wicked smiles, those painful rants and those deceitful alibis so I decided to go back, for closure, for me to see eye to eye the people who made me like this. After finishing my 1st year of college and after all the time wasted to regain myself, I flew back to Manila and decided to be a whole new different person. Nobody will ask, nobody will question, because I am now an extremely different person so nobody will definitely know.

I walked unshakened towards the corridors of the building. I was amazed how I easily caught attention. They dazzled looking at a new face. Indeed, I felt like a new student but not too new to get lost in this place. I easily got to my room and spotted a chair nearby the door.

I took the seat and got out the only notebook I have in my bag. Hindi ko pa ito nailalapag sa arm rest ko nang isang kamay na nakalahad na ang tumambad sa mukha ko.

"5th year, BS Civil Engineering. I'm Harris."
