Chapter 24

Lauren

"I think you're daughter should consider apologizing to Karla Ms, Hermosa" the women said as she eyed me.

Wait what? Ano nanamang ginawa ko.

"Bakit ko namang kailangan humingi ng pasensya!? Wala naman akong ginagawa sa kanya"

"Oh really?" Karla wiped her mouth "Ipaliwanag mo nga kung paano ko nakuha ito" itinuro nya yung kilay nyang may bandage.

"You said you slipped and hit you head on the sink, that's what you said to the nurse!"

"Lie!" she said, "Ms.Hermosa, hayaang nyo ako magpaliwanag ng totoong nangyari."

Just, what is happening? I thought to myself.

Mom didn't know what to do so she just nodded, tumingin sya sakin, yung tingin na kahit sino hindi magugustuhan. I gulped, praying that whatever Karla was about to say was on me, but I just know the fact that it will not. Just consider that beginning of this conversation was anything near my side, I know it will not end favorable.

"I was retouching my make up in the restroom when I suddenly heard the door burst open, tapos nakita ko si Lauren" tumingin sya sakin. "I don't know what her problem was but she seem very very angry, so as a concerned friend, tinanong ko sya kung anong nangyari, but the next thing I remembered was I was under the sink, with an excruciating pain on my left eyebrow"

"What are you-" napatayo ako dahil sa gulat ko na kung ano man yung pinagsasabu nitong babaeng to.

"Let her finish Lauren" Mom cut me off

"Wha-"

"I said shut up!" Mom yelled which caught me off guard, mom isn't like this. She never yelled at me before, why now. What is happening?

"Continue what your saying Karla"

Nakita ko yung pagngisi ni Karla, yung feeling na sasabog na ako sa sobrang inis. Pero wala akong magawa, I feel trapped, without any chain shackling me.

"So as I was saying, Lauren pushed me and it cause my head to hit the sink. Hindi ko alam kung bakit nya yun ginawa, parang yung tipong sakin nya nilabas lahat ng galit nya. Sobrang natakot ako kasi ang sama ng tingin nya sakin. Kaya hindi ako nagkalaban, umalis sya pagkatapos nyang makita yung sugat ko. I stayed under the sink for a few minutes before going to the infirmary with no one helping me" How can she lie like this with the most convincing face. It's like she took lesson to be this good, very unnoticeable. I just look at her, well more like glare, as if my eyes can kill her, but for this instant, I wish it could.

"Bakit mo ginawa yon Lauren?" tumingin ako kay Mommy na bakas sa mukha ang pagkadismaya, hindi ako makapaniwala na pinaniniwalaan nya si Karla ng ganun ganun nalang

"Are you going to believe that shit!?" I asked, standing up, ready to defend myself. I know this will not end in a very pleasant event, so I have to prepare myself for whatever is going to happen. I can't believe where in this situation again, she lying the fucked up and turning the tables for us. She's always getting what she wanted but not this time, I'm tired of this shit..

"You're mouth young lady!" Mom yelled so I shot her a look.

"Don't mind my fucking words, I'm asking if your believing the shit she's saying" she gasped and walk towards me. I was expecting her palm will collide with my face but instead a hand who rub my shoulder.

I saw my mom's hand on my shoulder, and I noticed that I'm currently sitting when I'm supposed to be standing away from my chair. What confuses me more was the looks they're giving me, nag aalala na hindi maintindihan yung mga itsura nila.
