Doomsday High : Girls vs Boys (Teen Disputes)

Chapter 16

KENSIE'S POV

I think I made a mistake not having to unpack my stuff before heading down here at the living room. Ikaw ba naman ang malagay sa gitna ng gyera na di mo alam kung pano nagsimula, di ka ba magsisisi na inuna mo katamaran mo at ngayon nilalanghap ang hangin na puno ng awkwardness?

Kasama ko sina Bullet at Theo ngayon sa living room, which I can only guess na, gaya ko, hindi rin sila nag unpack muna ng gamit at dumiretso muna ng living room. Si Bullet halatang gustong sakalin si Theo any moment from now. Si Theo naman poker face lang at iniiwasang maka eye-contact si Bullet habang kunwari inoobserve niya yung architechtural design and structure ng living room. Mukha na siyang Feng Shui expert dahil kanina pa niya parang pinag-aaralan ang location ng bawat decorations and furnitures, and he's been doing that for a whole 15 minutes. Dude, I could totally see right through him that he's feeling the threatening glares of Bullet.

"So Bullet, I know Theo has a sh*tty attitude but what happened and why do you keep looking at him like  that?" Damn this blabber mouth of mine. But I can't help it, curiosity killed the cat.

"Hey, narinig kita." Sagot ni Theo sabay irap sa akin pero nang mahagip ng mata niya ang titig ni Bullet bigla na lang niya iniwas and tingin niya.

"Ayokong pag-usapan ang tungkol sa bagay na 'yun at ayoko ring maalala so don't ask questions." Seryosong sagot ni Bullet, still glaring at Theo. Pano niya nagagawang irapan si Theo nang di kumukurap? For a normal person dapat naluluha na siya by now, but her eyes are as clear as my flawless skin. Hashtag only Belo touches my skin. Amazing.

"Ow-kaayy..." I replied. "..but you do have a sh*tty attitude Theo, and I believe I should make you aware. Oh and I'm not sorry anyway."

"Psh." Sagot ni Theo with rolled eyes.

"It's true. Hindi naman maiinis sa'yo ng ganito si Bullet if not for your attitude. Like you did something you shouldn't have done and you're not even regretting it."

"Hey I did regret it, you know..."

"So you DID  do something you're not supposed to."

"It was sudden and I didn't mean to do it. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko nagawa 'yon and I do understand kung bakit galit siya sa akin and I do get where she stands. Pero sinubukan ko namang humingi ng tawad." -Theo

"But that won't change the fact that you still did it! Your apology won't change anything!" This time, nagreact na si Bullet.

The war just exploded. And I'm in the middle of it. My chismosa nature got the better of me. Hashtag: My mouth has a mind of its own. And where are the smarty pants couple when you need them? I can't extinguish this fire on my own.

"Yeah?! But I still tried to apologize. You feeding your ego won't change anything either."-Theo

"So ako at ang ego ko pa ngayon ang may problema?! Why would you do that in the first place?! You know what, I'm surprised nagagawa mo pang lunokin yang kawalang-hiya mo at di ka pa nalalason until now." -Bullet

"Hep hep hep wait lang guys, why don't you just mend things now, put whatever it is that Theo did in the past, and move on? Like, forgive and forget?" Kalmado kong sinagot in between their spat.

"Forgive and forget?!! And why should I do that?" -Bullet

"Uhmm, because it's the way society gets moving? I mean, uhmm, you know, to err is human and to forgive is divine?" Goodness, Kensie. Even I am not persuaded with what I am blabbing right now. Why am I in the middle of this ba? Why am I acting as the third person who fixes the broken bridge? Why am I acting as the person who reconciles both parties? Hashtag: Hindi ako Guidance Counsellor.
