Sincerely Yours, Pen

Sincerely 7

I don't know if I should be happy or not. Magiging masaya ba ako dahil nakaligtas ako sa hot seat scene kanina. Kanina ko lang minahal ang Professor ko sa Philosophy because of him I was saved by the bell.

"Why don't we ask her? Pen, answer me. Yung totoong sagot. What's your username on Twitter? Are you @pennyforlove?"

They are all staring at me. Waiting for my answer. I want to say yes pero nag-aalangan ako. Natatakot talaga ako sa reactions ni Gab at Christ. Yes, hindi dapat ako matakot dahil I didn't do anything naman. But I'm really scared eh.

Be brave, Penelope. Be brave.

I was about to answer them when---

"Let's start our discussion."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Few more minutes alam ko matatapos na ang Philo Class at alam kong tatanungin nanaman nila ako. I need to think some way para maka-alis agad. But how?

Bakit ba kasi nawala pa yung confidence ko kanina? Si Prof naman kasi dumating din eh edi sana nalaman na rin nila. Ugh! Ang gulo-gulo ko na.

"Penny.." Nilingin ko ang pinanggalingan nung bulong. Lauren!

"You're @pennyforlove right?" nagulat ako pero napatango din ako. She know me enough para mapansin ang naging reaksyon ko kanina kaya I know kahit hindi ako sumagot malalaman at malalaman nya talaga.

"Are you ready to tell them?" Umiling naman ako at napa-isip sya.

"Tumungo ka na."

"W-what?"

"Just do it. I'll test your acting skills later. 3 minutes from now on."

Acting? Wtf?!

Being a masunurin friend. Ginawa ko naman ang pinagawa ni Lauren. I'm not scared naman kay Prof dahil wala naman yang pake and hindi ako masyadong napapansin nun.

After 3 minutes I felt Lauren's hands on my neck.

"Girls Penny and I need to go na. She's sick na kasi eh I hope maintindihan niyo."

"We understand Lauren please take care of Pen. Mauuna na rin kami."
