The Fat Girl

Chapter 1

[[REVISED]]

A good day starts with a bully in my campus. Sanay na ako kaya keribels lang. Nasaktan man nila ako physically, di naman nila masasaktan feelings ko. KASI POSITIVE AKO.

Tinignan ko yung cellphone ko na may reminder, as in. MARAMING MARAMI! To be positive kahit binubully:

1. Just smile and ignore them.
2. Walk gracefully kahit nagkanda-leche-leche ka na.
3. Don't let them hurt your feelings.
4. Pumasok sa room and tadah!
5. Read a novel.

That's the few steps to be positive. Well, let's name it as 'Natalie's Way to be Positive kahit Nibu-Bully ka'. Oh diba? BONGGA!

"HUY! NERDY TABACHOY!" Sigaw sa 'kin ng 'Butiking Babae'.

Butiki, yes, you read it right. Want me to describe it? Long body, short neck, big eyeballs, and kalansay head. Wag mo ring sabihin na hindi mo rin alam ang 'Kalansay'? Naku, wala na ako dyan.

"Yes?" Tanong ko sa kanya using my powerful language and the 'Bongga' British accent.

"HUWAW! MAY PAENGLISH-ENGLISH KA PA DYAN NI HINDI KA NGA AMERIKANA E!" Malakas na sigaw niya sa Hall of Surreal Akademya.

Kaya naagaw niya ang atensyon ng Surreal Akademya's students. Staring at us and smirking like crazy. What should I do in this situation? So simple, like haler! Just roll your eyes at them, and assume that your so beautiful so they stare at you. Pero seryoso, ito isasagot ko.

"Yur r-road..." Pang-gagaya ko. Sikat kasi na-line eh. Kaya I can't stop copying that funny sentence that the girl says.

"ANO?! PAKILAKAS NG BOSES PLIS!" Reklamo ni 'Butiking Babae'.

"Yur road. Yur akting layk a ked." Medyo malakas na sabi ko sa tenga niya, "If you'll excuse me, I have more novels to read than talking non-sensely to you."

Napa-nganga naman siya sa beautiful answer ko kaya nakapag-make way siya sa 'kin.

'BOOOOOOOO!'

Pang-aasar ng Surreal Akademya's students sa 'min. Don't fight a loser because you'll be a loser too, it's just like a virus. Getting bigger and affecting.

Seeing this kind of students makes me vomit until death. They're so immature, spoiled, and so poor in grades. Are they a human or a monster?

Well, let me write the name of my father in the Monster side.

David Torres.

The business man in our family, who's the reason of my mother's death. He's a devil, and a loner. He can't even interact with his friends because he's busy as bee.

Flashback

"Dad, sorry kung ganito ako. Sorry kung mataba ako. Sorry kung pangit ako. Pero dapat masaya ka sa 'kin diba? Lahat ginawa ko na nakakaganda ng grades sa school, sa pagtulong ng mga files mo sa work, paghahatid ng pagkain mo sa office desk mo kahit ayaw mong kumain... ginawa ko na lahat eh. Para tanggapin mo ako bilang anak, hindi bilang ampon na napilitan mo lang alagaan. Nahihirapan na ako, Dad... sobrang sakit..." Suminok-sinok kong pagsambit sa harapan ng ama ko.

"J-Just get out of my office. NOW! I don't need a ugly pig in this house!" Galit na singhal niya sa 'kin.

Umalis ako sa opisina niya na umiiyak.

Galit ang ama ko sa 'kin, sa hindi ko malamang dahilan.

End of Flashback

And thats why I hated him too. I didn't do a thing that he would be mad of. All I do was being better for our relationship, but he's just making it worst. Doesn't he even think of that?

CLASSROOM

I seated to my usual seat, as always. Aching my eyes as just what I saw.

Dirty floor with crumbled papers.
Blackboard with a difficult writing.
Students... bullying each other.
And some's bullying me.

Natalie Marie Torres/ NERD NA TABACHOY

WHO THE HELL DID THIS TO MY CHAIR?!

Charot... alam ko na simula pa lang eh. Edi mga isip bata kong classmates. Psh. Ano bang bago?

Papalitan ko nalang bukas name chair ko. Baka mapagalitan ako ng mga teachers kasi ganito yung itsura ng upuan ko. Baka ipalinis na naman ako ng banyo ulit.

I read a novel a little while, but then our first teacher arrived. Amp, kala ko pa naman hindi papasok si ma'am. I clean my desk and I sat properly.

"GOOD MORNING CLASS! HAHA!" Masiglang bati ni Ma'am Clara samin.

Hindi naman sa baliw si Ma'am Clara, sadyang ganyan lang siya kasigla. With matching tawa pa na parang nababaliw na talaga.

"TORRES!" Sigaw ni Ma'am Clara sa surname ko.

Nabigla naman ako sa pagbiglaang tawag ni Ma'am sakin kaya napatayo ako ng wala sa oras.

"MA'AM!" Sigaw ko pabalik.

"Ganern, dapat masigla rin student ko. HAHA! By the way, wag tulaley sa class ko ah? Ibabagsak ko grades mo *×_×* and please ask Mrs. SARDINES that I need my student report! Dammit." Nababaliw na sambit ni Ma'am.

"G-GOT IT MA'AM!" Nagda-dalawang isip kong sagot.

Kaagad akong lumayas este umalis sa room ko na nababaliw na. Omayghawd, I kennat. I hurriedly walk through the library to ask Mrs. SARDINES.

*TOK TOK TOK!*

I knocked three times to her desk just to catch her attention.

"MRS. SARDINES! HAHA!" Napatalon naman ako sa gulat ng marinig ko ang boses ni Ma'am Clara sa likuran ko.

Omayghawd, what's happening to the earth?

"MRS. CLARA!" Masayang bati ni Mrs. SARDINES kay Ma'am.

MRS? Just waw...

"Yes nemen. Porebes singol ako. HAHA! Hinihintay ko pa maluto yung chicken wings ko para makapunta kay chicken breast KO." Nababaliw na sambit ni Ma'am Clara. "Ikaw ha! MAY IBANG SARDINAS KA NA NAMAN! MAYGAS SARDINES! Harot mo na." Dagdag ulit ni Ma'am sabay ngisi ng nakakaloka.

Eherm! Nandito pa ako! GANERN!

Napatingin naman si Ma'am Clara sakin at Mrs. SARDINES.

"Okay, back to our business. Me and SARDINES have some a LITTLE problem about that ONE student." Nakangiting sambit ni Ma'am Clara habang nakatingin sakin.

"YES! IT'S ALL ABOUT DANIEL RANADA!" Dagdag ni Mrs. SARDINES.

"HAHA!" Sabay nilang tawa ng nakakaloka.

I don't know what's happening but it's creeping me out. And I think it's a big big problem to me.
