Sir, I Love You

SILY #14

Dalawang linggo -- sa loob ng labing apat na araw na yan ay puno ng kahihiyan ang nadarama ko and I thank of all God that my friends and Ched were there to cheer me up. A two weeks of shameful scenarios -- Edited funny pictures, vandalizes my name and make fun of it, epic photos posted on the freedom wall -- and all because of one person and her colleagues -- Veronica Demitri.

And worse -- she's my boyfriend's sister. She has been reported but she never let herself down. Ganyan sia katindi. And the worst part is Ven had never did something.

"Oh, take a sip!" napatingala ako mula sa pagkakadukdok ko ng ulo ko sa desk -- I saw the guy who's been there for me since it started -- Dominic Ortiz. Tipid akong ngumiti atsaka sinip ang ino-offer niang can milk. Paghinindian ko naman kasi 'to pipilitin at pipilitin pa din ako.

Umupo ito sa harap ng desk ko. "Umiyak ka na naman kahapon no?" pamumuna nito. Napayuko nalamang ako -- one thing I hate about myself is that when I cry I'm so transparent. Yung mata ko namumugto agad.

"Guys, settled yourselves mag-P-Physics na.." announce ng self proclaimed president. Pero wag ka! Okay naman yan si Joan kaso minsan hangin na. I let out a huge sigh. This is it again -- I'm seeing him again but not the way we look before. We're still in relationship yet it doesn't seem to.

"Chediding, pwede bang dito muna ako umupo? For now?" pilit ni Dominic kay Ched. Pareho kaming nagtinginan ni Ched and I know her look -- she's asking me if I'm going to let Dominic sit on her seat pero umiwas nalamang ako ng tingin.

Nakita ko ang pagtayo ni Ched at pagupo ni Dominic kasabay ng pagtayo ng lahat at pagbati nila.

"Good afternoon sir Ven." they greeted.

"Good afternoon and sit down." nagsi-upuan na kami. He tackled some lessons and afterwards let us answer our workbook. Napatingin ako kay Dominic na may inaabot sa akin. Nangunot ang noo ko nang makita ang Nerds candy na inilagay nia sa ilalim ng desk. I chuckled a bit.

Eating during class hours? Nah, it's fun to break the rules. "Mr. Ortiz? Is that your proper seat?" natigilan kami ni Dominic sa pagkain nang marinig ang malamig na boses ni Ven. "S-Sir?"

"Go back to your proper seat now!" napasinghap ako sa lakas ng pagsigaw ni Ven. Agad namang nagsitayuan ang mga kaklase kong lumipat nang upuan. "And Ms. Santillan, as a president of the SC -- I guess you know the school rules?" taas kilay niang tanong. Tumayo ako at napayuko na lamang. It's part of the school's rule also -- to express your respect to a teacher -- standing while talking to them is a must.

"Y-Yes Sir Ven.." I felt my knees shook. "Then why are you eating during classes hours?" I swallowed hard. Lahat sila napatingin sa gawi ko. Some were laughing and murmuring to one another. I look at them then they slowly faced front.

Unti unti akong napatingin sa kania -- eye to eye -- coldly looking at him saying :

"At bakit kayong magkapatid gustong gusto akong pahiyain?" I fiercely look at him.
