My Big, Fat, Heavyset Princess

Chapter 5

*Jacob's POV*

12 PM. Lunch na. I already missed 4 subjects this morning. Kung hindi dahil sa piglet na 'to, Edi sana makakahabol ako. Nakakainis! Napunta tuloy kami dito sa guidance office!

"I don't know why I'm even in here! In the first place, amin 'tong school na 'to. At ikaw pa yung unang sumuntok sa akin! Dalawang beses na ah. Dalawa na!"

If it isn't because of that pig then maybe I'm not in this office! Argh! Just wishing that my Dad will never get this because if he does, then he'll kill me! That Donna the pig! I'll kill her! I hate her so much!

"Aba! Ako pa ngayon? Sino kaya yung nakikialam ng gamit plus, ikinulong mo pa ako sa stock room! Tapos ako ngayon sinisisi mo? Buti nga sayo! Ga-graduate ka ng bingot!" Sabay himas ni piglet sa tabihan ng ulo nya.

"Tss. Ewan ko sayo. You'll get punished for this." Sabay turo ko kay piglet. "Tsk. Ang tagal naman! Kanina pa tayo dito ah! Nasaan na ba yung kakausap sa atin?" 

Inip na inip na ako. Halos 2 hours na kaming nagbabangayan ni piglet dito sa room na 'to. 2 hours na walang tigil sa awayan. 2 hours na kailangan kong magtimpi sa kadaldalan ng baboy na 'to. 2 hours of non-stop shouting.

At sa wakas, dumating na yung teacher na akala namin eh kakausap sa amin. "I'm sorry for waiting pero busy pa yung Prefect of Disipline ng school natin. Matatagalan pa sya bago makarating. Mag-lunch muna kayo. Mamayang 1 PM kayo bumalik."

"What? No!" Sabay pa kami ng baboy na si Donna. I glanced at her face and gave her a big eyes and I continued talking, "No. I'm not going back. Sayang yung 2 hours na naitigil ko dito kasama 'tong filthy, fat girl na 'to! Iintayin ko na lang sya. Kung gusto nyo ikulong nyo na dito si... si Donna. Para hindi na makapanggulo yang..babo... babaeng yan!"

"Ako pa yung nanggugulo ha? Gusto mong masuntok ulit?!" pagbabanta sa akin ni Donna.

"This time, kapag sinuntok mo ako ulit, gagantihan na kita!"

"Akala mo takot ako? Ha? Akala mo?!" At inilapit ni Donna yung mukha nya sa mukha ko with her very big eyes. Siguro tinatakot nya ako. Well, I think it pretty worked. But I'm not threatened because of her threat maybe because of her ugly face.

*Donna's POV*

"Akala mo takot ako? Ha? Akala mo?!"

I got my face in close of his face for him to know that I'm not scare. For him to know that I'll never get scared. And now, I realized that Jacob's kinda cute. \Maputi, matangos na ilong, manipis na lips dimples kahit galit at yung medyo makapal na kilay nya. But, that's nothing. What's cute, handsome face if your attitude stinks, right?

Habang nagtatalo kami ay may pumasok na matandang lalaki na naka-suot formal sa office. "I think you still have unfinished business. I think hindi pa sapat yung 2 hours na pagsasama nyo dito sa office ko. Do you want another 2 hours para mapag-usapan nyo yan?" Natatawang sabi ng matanda.

"NO!" Kamuntik na sana kaming magkasabay ulit ni Jacob. Buti na lang naalala ko na matanda yung kausap namin. Na kailangang respetuhin.

"Ah, pwede po bang mag-lunch muna? Baka po kasi mamayat ako nito." Sabay himas ko sa kumukulong tiyan ko.

"No Dad! I'm leaving! I know you'll be on her side. I know you dad. You'll always get me wrong! Ayoko na dito!" Sabay kuha ni Jacob sa bag at polo nya na nakapatong sa table.

Dad? So this guy is Jacob's father. Well maybe, it's her father. Dad nga eh.

"Ah.. That guy. Sorry hija if I got late. Ano bang nangyari at ang dumi ng uniform mo?"

"Ah wala naman po. Binanas po kasi ako kaya nag-swimming muna ako sa may baha dyan sa school nyo. Uhm.. Daddy po kayo ni Jacob?" tanong ko sa matandang lalaki na umupo kaagad sa upuan nya. At since medyo madaldal ako, naitanong ko kaagad kung tatay sya ni Jacob.

"Yes. I'm Jacob's Dad. Have a sit Miss." 

Mr. Campbell allowed me to sit on one of his chairs maybe because he saw me grieving because of this backpain I'm feeling all this time because of what happened earlier.

"Ah, thank you po. Ah, mind if I ask po pero pansin ko po na mabait kayo, pero bakit po parang medyo 'bad boy' po ang anak nyo?"

Ako na yung nag-interview sa halip na ako dapat yung kinakausap.

"Ah. Haha" Natawa ulit si Mr. Campbell. "Naku. Yang anak ko na yan. He started to be a 'bad boy' like what you said, when his mom left us.. Nag-lunch ka na ba Miss???"

"Ah.. Donna po. Donna Lim. Medyo gutom na nga po ako eh. Pwede na po ba akong mag-lunch? Kanina pa po kasing dumadaluhong yung tyan ko sa sobrang gutom." sabay hawak ko sa tyan ko.

"Ah sure. Sige. Whatever my son did to you, ako na yung magso-sorry. Don't worry Miss. I'll ask him to talk to you and give you and apology." at nagsmile ulit si Mr. Campbell.

"Ah sige po. Goodbye po." 

Dali-dali akong lumabas sa office. Dali-dali ring pumunta sa classroom para mauna sa armchair ko. Medyo marumi na rin kasi yung uniform ko kaya kailangan ko ng magpalit ng damit. Buti na lang may extra shirt ako para sa P.E. class namin.

Nagulat. Na-shocked. Nabadtrip. Yan yung naramdaman ko pagkapunta ko sa classroom.

I saw my bag hanging from the windows. Since nasa second floor kami ng building eh dali-dali ko kaagad kinuha yung bag ko. 

"Oh my Gosh backpack. Kamuntik ka ng mahulog. Sinong kababuyan ang gumawa nito sayo?!"

And as I was searching for lost things inside my bag and searching if there's any damage in my bag, I saw a note saying:

"Hey piglet. I got your lunch box. Go to canteen for you to have lunch. Meet me there. -Jacob"

That dog just don't know when to quit! I put my bag in my armchair stuttering and saying "I'm gonna kill that dog! I'll kill that dog!"

And as I was leaving the classroom, I saw Lucy and Belle walking at the corridor.

"Hey Donna!" Sabay takbo ni Lucy. "Are you okay now? Belle, get my wipes in my bag. Did you get a punishment?"

"Hindi Lucy. I'm okay. I didn't get a punisment. Mr. Campbell allowed me to go lunch after two hours inside his office." 

"Here Donna." Iniabot ni Belle sa akin yung wet wipes. "What happened ba? You look so messy."

I wiped this mud in my face saying: "Nag-swimming ako sa pond. Period." Sagot ko sa paulit-ulit na tanong na halos mabingi na ako kung bakit ba daw ang dungis dungis ko.

"Tsaka bakit parang you're in a hurry ata?" Tanong muli ni Belle.

"Jacob the dog got my lunch box!" Sabay tingin ko sa canteen. "Samahan nyo naman ako sa canteen. I'll kill Jacob. Help me get back my lunch box. Wala akong extra money for lunch."

"Haha! You really look funny every time you argue with Jacob. I think bagay kayo. Haha!" Panga-asar ni Lucy.

"Are you coming with us Lucy?" Tanong ni Belle.

"Oh yes. Of course Haha! Leggoo!"

That dog's better be preparing right now 'cos the moment I see his face, I'm sure he'll get another puch coming from my fists again. I'll kill that dog.
