Kaira

I was walking in the middle of the corridor. Ang lawak naman kasi para sa gilid ako mag lakad.

Napahinto ako ng makita ang tatlong babaeng naglalakad papunta sakin. Their eyes was full of excitement. Nakakurba ang mga labi nila na para bang may masamang binabalak.

Ngumiti sakin ang babaeng nasa gitna. She smiled on me while playing with her perfect braided chocolate hair. Her evil black eyes was staring at me with great amusement.

"Hi Kaira. Do you want to be beautiful?" Keith asked in a loud and prideful voice

I just shook my head and tried to get through them. But Kayla, one of her bestfriend- slave to be exact pushed me harshly.

Napahawak ako sa malamig na sahig. The impact was kinda strong but I'm gonna let it slide because I'm gonna be late, again, if I try to fight against them.

"Go on Christy, do your job" utos ni Keith at inabot kay Christy ang make up kit na hawak niya

Lumapit si Christy sakin hanggang sa mag ka-level na ang mga ulo namin. Yumuko pa siya para mangyari yun. Hindi ba siya aware na maiksi ang palda niya.

Binuksan na niya ang Makeup kit ni Keith. Mag katunog pa ang dalawang plastic. Una niyang binunot ang lipstick. Sinubukan kong tingnan ang laman ng kit. Wow, mukhang napakamahal naman ng mga yun para ilagay sa pagmumukha ko.

I was stunned by the way she used it for my face. She encircled my cheeks with the lipstick. What the hell? Tanga tangahan lang ba to o pinaglalaruan ako ng tatlong bruhang nasa harap ko?

"It's not how you use that" I said without looking at her

Bigla napahalakhak si Keith at kinuha ang blush on at precise na ipinahid sa noo ko at sa ilong. Nyeta, kong pwede ko lang silang pag bubugbugin, noon ko pa ginawa. Sayang at may ari ng academy ang mommy ng bruhang Keith.

Sumunod naman si Kayla at kinuha ang eyebrow pencil saka sinulatan ng outline ang labi ko. Hindi pa siya nakuntento at ikinalat pa niya ito sa buong mukha.

"Something is missing. Let me fix you dear" sabi ni Keith at kinakalkal ang kauri niya

Nagsimula ng magtawanan ang mga taong nasa paligid at napapadaan. Ngayon lang ba sila nakakita ng clown?

"Eyeshadow!" Keith enthusiastically exclaimed while waving the eyeshadow palette

"What shade suit you?" She asked me with her pouted red lips

"Red" I immediately answered

"Red?" Keith laughed in amusement, "why?" She asked with a teasing smile and gave the make up kit to Christy

"I don't know" tumayo ako at inilapit ang labi sa tenga niya, "maybe because I want to burn your soul" I said and leave her with a shocked face

I turned around just to see her frozen body and clenched fists. Did I scared her that badly? Oh, pity.

Naglakad ako muli at napatingin sa relo ko. "Damn. That bitch really is annoying" I whispered to myself. Thanks to those witches, I'm 10 minutes late for class.

Those spoiled brats really want to ruin my life. I headed to the rest room first because I don't want to go to our class 2x uglier than before.

Napatingin ako sa mukha ko sa salamin. I released a deep chuckle. Even I, myself is disgusted with this cursed face.

My whole face is wrinkled like a 90 years old woman. My lips is too plump that looks like it's swelling. My left eye is 3x larger than the right one. Plus the disastrous makeup. I can say that my face is really horrifying.

I turned on the faucet and started cleaning my face. Linakasan ko ang pagkuskos sa natitirang makeup kasi dikit na dikit na parang gusto ng manatili.

I slammed the sink in frustration. Napatingin ako ulit sa salamin. I was startled by the girl in a sky blue cloak.

Her upper face was covered by her hood, leaving her lips seen by bare eyes. She was smiling while holding a bottle of I don't know substance.

I turned off the faucet because I don't want to waste too much water. Tinanggal niya ang hood niya at inilapit sakin ang bote.

Pinahid ko sa maiksi kong palda ang mga basa kong kamay saka tinanggap ang bote. "What is this for?"

"Read it" the stranger said and a chair made of mirror suddenly appeared.

Kinusot kusot ko ang mga mata ko saka tiningnan ulit ang babae. Nandun pa rin ang upuang gawa sa salamin.

I turned the faucet back on and rubbed my face with water. Inoff ko ito ulit at tumingin sa babae. But I was really relieved that she was gone. Sabi ko na nga ba, I'm hallucinating again. This is not actually my first time. Nakikita ko yung babaeng yun whenever I feel frustrated or scared.

Ngunit nabitawan ko ang boteng hawak ko. I can hold my hallucinations? Agad kong dinampot ang bote at pinalo palo para siguradong hindi imagination.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa nakasulat. Ano toh? Ood writing? Read it daw sabi ng hallucinations ko. Eh pano kaya?

Narinig kong bumukas ang pinto ng rest room kaya nagmadali akong pumasok sa isang cubicle.

Napahinto ako ng magsimulang magsalita ang isa sa mga babaeng pumasok.

"Girl. Nakita mo ba si Keith kanina? Gosh, her face was epic. She seems scared. And you know what's more surprising?" She stopped for a second

"It was that ugly Kaira that she was scared of" the girl said and laughed

"Really?" The other girl asked and laughed with her, "that's not really shocking. Her face is obviously scary" she said and laughed even harder

"But seriously, Keith was real scared this time. She fainted in the middle of the corridor. Maybe they're right, that Kaira is really a witch" she said in a serious voice

Hinintay kong makalabas sila bago lumabas ng cubicle. Napatingin ako sa salamin at napangiti sa sarili.

"Keith? Scared of me? What an achievement"

I'm Kaira Curtis, the nerd that the queen of this campus scared of. And not to mention, I'm more than a nerd.
