AMITY'S POINT OF VIEW:

Dillenna Heera and I have been the best friends for all my life. I was able to understand all her decisions and choices throughout those years but not... NOT RIGHT NOW!

She is a beauty queen, the counterpart of Albert Einstein! Now tell me and make me understand for once, why would she do everything to be the basketball team's water girl?

I'm totally clueless right now. Hindi ko talaga siya papansinin! She's just so disconcerting! It's been a week since she told me about her plan and I still can't understand her.

"Hi Heera!"the girls in the hallway greeted.

She forced a smile and faced me again while we walked on the hallway towards our classroom.

"Amity! Talk to me! Ano ba?"pangungulit niya sa'kin.

"Heera! You look great!"a girl from another circle shouted as we passed through them.

"Thanks!"tugon niya sa bumati sa kanya samantalang nagbubulag-bulagan ako sa presensiya niya. "Amity. Please. Please!"

"I'm really not going to talk to you if you're pursuing your stupid plan. Whatever you are thinking, stop it right now. That's so ludicrous! What has got into your mind ba? Kailangan ba kitang sapakin o – "

"Amity."She called out and laughed. "I really want to be "the watergirl" not "a watergirl"."

"Oh fine, yes! As if I that was absorbed by my brain! Dillenna? So what if you'll be a water—"

"THE watergirl—"

"Fine! Whatever! So ano nga?"

"I'm bored."

"WHAAAT?"

I halted. My little brain's trying to analyse what she just muffled. Ugh! She's bored? That's it?

"Oh God! Take me now!"I slurred reflexively.

"Gusto kong maghiganti kay Matt."she slowly said.

Nilakihan ko siya ng mata. What's she trying to avenge at Matt? For all I know, they were just dating a few months back.

"Naiinis ako sa kanya. That's all! Akalain mo 'yon! I told him to wait. Ang sabi ko pa nga, pag-iisipan ko pa! Tapos, nalaman ko nalang, may nililigawan na siya! Ang kapal ng mukha niya!"

Napatitig ako sa kanya habang nagsasalita siya. I can see both the pain and wrath in her beautiful eyes. Ba't hindi ko alam ang lahat ng 'to? Iba ang sinabi niya sa'kin! She told me she dumped him—why did she do that?

"I'm sorry. I lied."she automatically apologized as if she has read my mind.

"Why did you do that?"

"I was trying to... Ugh! Amity, it was a test. It was just a test of how serious his intentions were towards me. I was expecting this to happen, you know, him and that Jannica dating. Hindi ko sinabi sa'yo kasi nahihiya ako sa'yo. You have these high expectations of me but... those guys don't!"

"That's fudge! Kung gusto mo naman pala talaga 'yong sira-ulong 'yon? Ba't hindi mo nalang sinagot?"naiinis kong bulyaw sa kanya.

Nakakainis naman talaga diba? Muntik pa akong magmura. I hate people who cuss. I don't want to hate myself. Thanks for the word 'fudge' though.

"Because I knew his kind. I wasn't wrong though. But I just can't watch him smiling all the time with his tremendously charming eyes and perfectly-sculpted cheekbones while I have myself jittery everytime I see him! That's not so me!"

"Should I be supporting you?"

"Of course! I'm your bestfriend!"she paused and laughed. "I love you A! And one more thing, pwede mo naring makita lagi si Bryce. He's on the team, diba?"

I rolled my eyes at her. Sira-ulo din talaga 'tong si Dillenna. Nakakapagtaka minsan kung paano ako naka-survive sa kanya sa loob ng 17 years! And that Bryce? Oh? He's one of the most charming guys I've met my whole life. But I'm not into him! Eww! But I once said to Dillenna that I like him SO MUCH because she kept badgering me with Liam. God. Not Liam Kan! He's the most pervert in our class when we're in third grade. Kung gaano kasobra ang kasingkitan niya, gano'n kasobra ang kamanyakan niya!

"Ok na A ha? Isa pa, wala ka narin namang magagawa. Kasi, sa totoo lang..."she paused and smirked exultantly. "MAGSISIMULA NA AKO NGAYON! BYE A! LOVE YAH! Sumunod ka do'n!"

Whoah? Did that really happen? Napakamot na lamang ako sa ulo at saka dumiretso sa classroom namin. Hindi pa ako makakagraduate ng Senior High, mababaliw pa yata ako!

"A!"

"Shiii—p! Ugh!" muntik na naman akong makapagmura! Kung makapanggulat naman talaga kasi 'tong baliw na 'to!

"Hahaha. The look on your face is priceless!"asar pa niya.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili kong pulutin ang hard-bound book ko at saka ibinato sa kanya. Nakakainis talaga kasi siya. Ayaw ko talagang makita 'tong taong 'to. Wala man sa mukha niya, pero manyak siya. I tried all those years to avoid him, siya naman 'tong kakaasar na ayaw kaming tantanan.

"Aww! Ang sakit no'n ah!"reklamo niya na tumatawa pa rin. "Amity Araneta! You're not yet legal to read this kind of book! What the—Oh! Sorry. Ayaw mo nga pala nang nagmumura."

"Liam! Ibalik mo sa'kin 'yan! Sira ulo ka!"

"Ba't mo binabasa 'to? Amity! You're only seventeen!"

"Shut up! Akin na 'yan!"

Uminit 'yong mukha ko habang binubuklat niya 'yong aklat. For this jerk's sake, it's Fifty Shades Freed!

"Akin na 'yan!" I yelled glaring ferociously at him.

He grimaced and handed me the book. Nang tingnan ko siya, nagpipigil siyang matawa.

"What?"

"What's what?"

"Kung hindi ka makausap ng matino, umalis ka!"

"Hahaha. You're blushing and man, it's an honor to witness it!"

Gusto ko talaga siyang kalmutin, kalbuhin at—

"Bye Araneta."nakangiting paalam niya. "Anyway, nice dress!"dagdag niya at saka nag-flying kiss pa.

Yuckkkk! Nakakainis talaga ang Liam na 'yon! Manyak! He's just so papansin kahit kailan. Nice dress? Nice dress niyang mukha niya!

Teka! Ba't ba walang tao rito? Oh! Natampal ko ang noo ko nang maalala si Dillenna! May game ngayon sina Theon! Who's Theon? He's no one but the man I'm secretly in love with. Hays...
