CHAPTER 11 - STICKY
CHAIIRA'S POV
Kanina pa ako nakatitig sa pader. At, kanina ko pa iniisip at ina-absorb lahat ng mga sinabi ni Ate Clarisse sa akin. Like, hours ago have passed by; dumating na nga sina Tita Jean galing sa mga gala nila sa labas pero wala, ayon pa rin. Processing pa rin ang utak ko.
Hindi ko alam kung slow lang ba talaga ako o wala talaga akong utak to begin with. Ang hirap kapag walang common sense. Joke. Hehe kidding aside, mahirap lang talaga i-intake lahat ng sinabi ni Ate. Ang galing naman ni Ate makakuha ng intel mula kay Ice. Ganon na ba sila ka-close? Sana all.
Focus, Chaii, focus!
Oo nga pala. Nagddrift away na naman ang focus ko. Hindi ako dapat magfocus kay Ice. Hindi siya ang problema ko. Saka na. Yung 'Maximilian Porsche' na yon na muna yung po-problemahin ko.
Napaikot ako ng mata, mala-three hundred sixty degrees, yung tipong kita ko na utak ko sa loob ng ulo ko. Ugh. Is it a must for new students to really experience the blessings? Kahit na sinabi na sa akin ni Ate Clarisse ang mga alam ni Ice, it still doesn't make any sense. AT ALL!
Nabigla ako nang makarinig ako ng mga katok sa pinto. Bumukas itong mag-isa, and of course... sino pa ba ang walang hiyang pumasok-pasok lang sa kwarto ko? Hindi pa nga ako nagsasabi o nagbibigay ng approval na pumasok pero ayon. Hay. Mentally face palms myself.
"It's better to think out loud, sister." Banggit niya pagkapasok na pagkapasok niya. At sumalampa na naman po siya sa brown beanie bag ko. Minsan, ang sarap nalang din ipabugbog 'tong kapatid ko e. Hay.
"Ang aga mo na magising these days. Nakakapanibago." She continues to mention after hearing no response from me.
"Nakakatulog ka pa ba?" Tanong niya ulit, now a concerned tone visible in her voice. I nodded as a retort. Hindi ko alam kung nakita niya, but I guess she did. Her eyes are full 20/20, and she only uses eyeglasses 'cause she thinks it "makes her look cool".
Well, not gonna lie, lahat naman. I mean, kahit anong suotin ni Ate, or anong hairstyle gawin niya, if she thinks she slay, all the people around her is gonna agree with her, like she gave them some kind of a slavery power or something. If I was not mistaken, nung nasa ibang bansa siya, despite the differences of race, she was rumored to be one of the most influential and well-known student in her school. I still doubt that up to these days. Anyway, back to reality...
"Thanks for being thoughtful, sissy, but yeah. Nakakatulog pa naman ako." I stated, a bit of sarcasm evident in my voice. "And, kahit ako naninibago, but it's better, isn't it?" Tanong ko at umayos sa pagkakaupo para humarap sa kanya.
