I Can't Make You Love Me

Chapter XIII - 7th Day

"Take Care, Princess. I'm telling you, behave." Kuya Hermes narrowed his eyes onto me when I did not respond. Really? He's asking me to behave? What an unusual thing to ask.

I sighed, "Fine. I'll try." I managed to paint a smile. "By the way, thanks for dropping me here." I frowned at the memory of my baby tied up at home. Yep. She's tied up alright. Tight. 

He kissed me after saying his goodbyes and dashed off once he got to his car. He still has a bunch of work at the office, but still, he managed to bring me here at the university. Is my kuya sweet or what? I laughed at the thought. 

I went to class and listened to the never ending lessons of my proffesor in Literary writing. He's good, really. But my mind is too pre occupied at the moment. Time elapsed quickly, and I haven't noticed that I haven't took my lunch, but unfortunatley, I'm too lazy to take my lunch. Ugh. What a disgrace. 

As I was wandering around  the campus with an awfully unfilled stomach, I can't help but notice that almost all was looking at me, then murmurs something I really don't care, then looks away. Call me an artist for I draw too much attention, well I always do that, but this time, It's quite different. Everyone was looking at me like I've committed a crime or something. 

All eyes on me, baby. My inner bitch was wearing her crown and sach and was waving like a beauty Queen. She seemed happy about this. But I'm not. 

I ignored all their stares and continued to walk, but when I was only on my fifth step, my ears triggered something that displeased me. I turned my heel and looked at the dumb bitch with her bitchy friends. They were laughing at me. Are they asking me something horrible to do with them?Good for them for I am a very very very obedient person. Their wish is my command. 

I walked towards them and wore my ever so sweet smile that everyone expects to see, "Hi there!" 

"Uhhh? Are you talking to me?" She asked with her social climber tone. 

"Oh no! I was actually talking to the wall." I faked laugh, "Ooops! My bad! You and the wall seemed very alike." I said while nodding like I realized something big. 

She gasped. That's right, inhale all the carbon dioxide you are polluting in the air. "And why is that?" She asked raising her brows. 

I also raised my brows. I have too you know. I pointed to her chest. "Flat." And I smiled victoriously. People around us laughed, probably they heard what I said. Her face was all red out of her furiousity. If there is such a word.

"Ang kapal naman ng mukha mo! So feeling mo naman maganda ka?" She's fighting me! This is what I'm talking about!

"Hind ako nag fe feeling na maganda. Kasi maganda talaga ako. Statement yan at tagalog ha? Baka kasi hindi mo maintindihan." I tapped her gently on the shoulders. 

"Tss! Maganda? Ikaw?!" Then she looked at me from head to toe. "Oh edi ikaw na!" And I laughed at her respond. She's really amusing. 

"Psh. Maganda nga. Whore naman." And that. That caught my attention. She smiled at me like she just hit the jackpot. "That's right. Whore ka naman talaga diba? I heard, you and your boyfriend-- oh I mean ex-- maked out a bunch of times, and unfortunatley, you got pregnant. And My oh my. Pinalaglag mo pa daw yung bata! Anong klase kang babae?! Ha?!" Sinadya niya pang laksan yung mga huli niyang sinabi. And because of that, more people was watching us. 

Ghad?! Who the hell spread that effin news?! Prepare to die, you dumbass! 

I scoffed before smiling once more. I glanced at everyone who was anticipating for my next move, and back to little miss big mouth. "Why, what a dirty mouth you have there." I grabbed my toothbrush at my bag and forcefully put it inside her mouth. Kaagad naman niya yung tinanggal at tsaka ako tinignan ng masama. "I though you needed a toothbrush to clean all the lies and craps traveling that mouth. How unlady of you." I paused, trying to calm myself.  "Sino namang may sabi ng kabobohan na yan? Whoever the wuss is, she better run off." I said in a low tone. The atmosphere was getting tensed. I looked around once more to see all the sick faces of the people around me. "That's not true. Everything she said, except the part when she said I was pretty. Who the hell would do that? I'm not your mirror here, okay? Hindi totoo yan. Walang katotohanan yan." I managed to draw a weak smile. "Pero sino ba ko para magpaliwanag sainyo? You wouldn't bother to listen nor believe me anyway. Magsasayang lang ako ng laway. Fine. Judge me. If that's makes you birdbrains happy. But just a reminder, I'm not a stupid wishlist here so don't rain me all your expectations." I smiled once more after finishing my speech. All eyes on me. I raised my chin. This beauty is one of those kinds that needs to be proud of. And in a jiffy, I was out of the crowd. Walking away.
