The Girl with The Broken Smile

Chapter I • The Girl with The Broken Smile

Chantelle Hayes' POV

Hayyyy, another day in North Shore. Lakas maka-mean girls ah. Haha. Lumabas ako sa black Porsche ni Kuya at sinalubong naman ako ng malakas na hangin.

"Kuya, may jacket ba dyan? It's so cold here," sabi ko sa twin kong si Charlie. Yea, kuya because he's a minute older than me.

"Meron," he replied. "Pero panglalaki."

"It's okay as long as it is a jacket."

"Maluwag sayo to—"

"I said 'okay as long as it is a jacket'."

"Fine," he said, rolling his eyes. Ew, pambabae lang yun diba? He gave me the black jacket. Yeahh, sobrang hilig namin sa itim. "Aish. Nakaka-ano talaga yang pagmamaldita mo."

"Whatever," I said. Naglakad kami papunta sa fountain ng school kung saan laging nagkikita kaming magbabarkada. Ang kaunti kasi ng tao dito eh, and better, there's no person.

"Hi Princess!" Kim greeted.

Yuck. "Hindi ako princess, baliw. Ayaw na ayaw ko na tawaging princess!"

"Oo nga, don't call her that," Andrew replied. "Only I can call her that. Right, babe?"

"Ehh, walang tayo!" I said. "Wala na."

Nakakailang lang sabihin yun? Haha.

"Sige, bula lang ako dito," Kuya said, pouting.

Ehh? Si Kuya, nagpapout? Di kaya bakla talaga siya? Hala.

"Kuya ang bading mo! Wag ka ngang ganyan! Nakakahiya! Di ko yan kakambal ha?" I said jokingly.

Humagikhik silang lahat maliban kayna Louis at Xander.

"Louis, tama na muna ang pag-aaral, may thirty minutes pa tayo oh," Kim ordered.

"May quiz kami mamaya," Louis said, still looking at his book.

"Boring," Kim said as he got the book away from Louis.

"Shucks, lilibre mo ko sa McDon't mamaya pag bumagsak ako nyan," Louis said, glaring at Kim.

Ang tahimik lang ni Xander? Haha.

"Xander, sure ka bang hindi ka traumatized niyan?" I asked jokingly.

"Nah," he said in a cold way.

"Wag ka ngang maging cold," Kuya said. "Matuturn off sayo yung mga nagkakacrush sayo pag ganyan ka."

Xander playfully punched Kuya.

"Guys, mamaya ha? 6:30 p.m, SM Robinson City. Kitakits sa McDon't, KKB!" Yaya ni Andrew. Temo, nagyayaya pero kanya-kanyang bayad. Psh.

"Not free, may long tests kami next week," Louis said. Ano ba? Next week pa yun ah?!

"NEXT WEEK PA YUN!" Sabay sabay naming sabi lahat, of course, maliban kay Xander. May kinukutingting kasi dun sa cellphone nya. Wala syang pake sa paligid. Ewan ko ba kung pano siya napasali sa barkada namin? Di ko maalala eh. Hahahaha. Nagka-amnesia kasi ako dati. Ikukwento ko sa inyo...

Bago ko pala ikwento, haha, baka naguguluhan kayo. Wala akong maalala talaga pagkatapos kong magka-amnesia. Kinwento lang sakin ng parents ko at ni Kuya. So medyo naalala ko yung sequence ng nangyari sakin.

Okay, eto na...

Flashback~
"This is it," sabi ko sa sarili ko. Sasagutin ko na kasi si Andrew sa marriage proposal niya. Alam kong medyo maaga, pero arranged marriage din naman eh kaya wala din. Mahal na mahal talaga namin ang isa't isa! Yieee. Corny.
