Bastard
It's Saturday now but I'm here at the bookstore alone. Yes, I'm all alone. I need to buy some painting materials and some reference books that I need for school. My brothers and my cousins were busy kaya ayaw ko namang mang istorbo para lamang masamahan ako. Me, being alone is a very rare occurrence. May driver naman akong kasama pero nasa basement siya naghihintay sa akin.
Naalala ko na naman kung paano ko sila isa-isang tinanong kagabi kung may lakad ba sila ngayon.
After school, kanila Connor naman kami pumunta for dinner. After eating, we went to entertainment room to watch a movie before going home. Ayokong umalis mag-isa bukas kaya tatanungin ko kung may lakad ba sila.
"What will you do tomorrow?" I asked Connor who's busy with his phone.
"3 rounds." ngisi niya.
"What?" hindi ko maintindihan ang sagot niya. Tumawa na lang siya at ginulo ang buhok ko.
Nakita ko si Damien na nakaupo sa single sofa. Tumayo ako sa inuupan ko at sumiksik sa tabi niya.
"What's your plan for tomorrow?"
"Rated SPG." what the hell? Pervert!
Tumingin naman ako kay Kuya Travis na nakaupo sa paanan.
"Kuya Trav-" I used my super malambing voice but its not effective.
"Sorry, princess. I'm busy. Can't you wait on Sunday?" sabay ngisi niya.
"Hey, Cliff. Are you free tomorrow?" I asked. His eyes were on the television while occupying the whole sofa dahil nakahiga siya.
"No, I'm expensive." he said. Napa-face palm na lang ako.
Umalis ako sa mga unggoy at tumabi kay Dylan. I crossed my arms. Busy silang lahat.
"You will not ask me?"
"You're busy on school." kagaya ni kuya Trevor.
"Until 3 p.m. I can go with you after school." he said at sinubuan ako ng fries.
"No thanks." sabi ko at sumandal sa balikat niya. Kinuha ko ang iphone ko. Maybe Edge can go with me? I type 'are you busy tomorrow?' pero binura ko agad. What the heck. It's like I'm asking him on a date! Date? A freaking date? Oh my god! No way.
Binili ko ang mga dapat bilhin sa bookstore. I want to window shop pero pinigilan ko ang sarili.
Papunta na dapat ako sa basement kung saan naghihintay ang driver namin ng maramdamang nauuhaw ako. I want to drink some milk tea. Ang alam ko mayroong store ng paborito kong tea house sa labas.
I think I should text our driver first na may bibilhin pa ko. Kinuha ko ang phone ko at na-frustrate nang makita shut down na ito. Damn, I forgot to charge it.
Naglalakad ako sa labas papuntang tea house ng may babaeng lumapit sa akin na mukhang kaedad ko lamang. And she looked rich. Nagtataka ko siyang tinignan.
"Hi. Can you help me miss? My friend fractured her ankle and I can't carry her to my car alone." she said teary eyed.
Maybe Manong can wait for me naman? I'll help this girl first then I'll buy milk tea na. Tumango ako at sinundan siya.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Bea."
Pumunta siya sa lugar na tago sa may gilid ng mall. Nagulat ako ng makita ko roon ang babaeng pinagkamalang girlfriend ako ni Damien.
"These are my friends, Isabella and Maxine." sabi ni Bea.
My eyes widened when I saw them. Isabella was the girl who commented 'boyfriend stealer' on my Instagram while Maxine was the girl who accused me as Damien's girlfriend.
