XYLAH ELIZABETH

I was sitting alone here in our school's Botanical Garden. It's still class hours but I ditched my physics' class. It's damn boring and my teacher was damn annoying. Being a fourth year high school student was damn colorless for me.

In my sixteen years of existence was a whole crap. I mean— c'mon... I am one of those typical bullied girl because of being different from the crowd. I do not outstand but I am usually the outcast.

I love dark colors, I always have a sided bangs that covers half of my face, I wears dark shades of make-up and I am distant. I don't actually hang out with random people.

I was kicked out from my former school because they accused me of being mentally retarded girl. Just what the heck? Hindi ako no'n makapaniwala nang dahil lang sa isang tsismis ng grupong mean girls na tinatarget ako ay ni-kick out agad ako ng school admin.

I didn't even know how they could tell that I am not mentally stable. I don't know their reasons. And I don't give a damn.

I could sue them for the moral damages they've made, pero lalaki lang ang problema kapag gano'n. My mother decided to enrol me here in Laroa University, an exclusive for elite school.

Akala ko iba ang school na 'to ro'n sa pinanggalingan ko pero akala ko lang pala. I am still a bully target, ngunit hindi na gaya no'n na umaabot hanggang pisikalan. Dito hanggang bulong-bulongan lang sila at paparinig.

Mabuti na 'yon 'di ba?

Palagi kong naririnig na buang daw ako dahil palagi akong nagsasalita ng nag-iisa na totoo naman, but actually I am always talking with my mother through a wireless ear device na palagi kong suot. And because of my side bangs, no one could see the device.

Hindi ko naman sila masisisi kung bakit at wala rin naman akong planong ipangalandakang kausap ko lang ang ina ko.

I turned to look at my right when somebody sat beside me. I mentally smiled when I saw a little girl looking straight ahead as if she hasn't notice me yet.

Maybe she's around 10 years old. She's wearing the glamorous Primary uniform of Laroa. The girl has a long, black hair that was settled free on her back. She has a porcelain-like skin, a cute doll-face with a small but pointy nose, thin red lips and cheeks but what caught my attention the most was her big, black, lifeless eyes.

Walang kabuhay-buhay ang mga mata niya na nakatingin lang nang diretso. Her eyes were disturbing. There's something behind those orbs. It's something dangerous.

I swallowed as I look at the black choker she's wearing. There's a big diamond in the middle. The girl looks like a royalty came from the old age. She looks antique, even the way how she sits... so regal and majestic.

Hindi ko alam pero nakaramdam ako ng kaba sa batang 'to.

"Hi." I greeted her to divert that eerie feeling.

But she didn't respond. Ni hindi nga kumislot sa pagkakaupo niya. Mata niya lang ang kumukurap at pagtaas-baba ng dibdib ang tanging paggalaw niya.

Kinilabutan ako kaya nag-iwas ako ng tingin. Hinayaan ko na lang bata. Baka gaya ko nag-ditch din ito sa class niya.

"Miss Pitt, nandito ka lang pala. Kanina pa kita hinahanap... the principal wants you in her office now." Napatingala ako nang makita ang Values Education teacher kong nakatayo sa harap ko at nagsasalita. My eyebrows furrowed seeing him talking to me. The last time I check, this teacher hates me because his favorite student, our class muse hates me too.
