Smile For Me

Chapter 4

That jerk! He left me standing alone na nagpupuyos sa galit in the middle of the Cafeteria. Everyone was staring at me. Nakuyom ko ang aking mga kamao  "Makakaganti din ako sa'yo"

Lea came running towards me with a concerned face.  "Oh my Trish!, Let's go! there's a fresh new uniform in my locker. Good thing may dala ako" 

Urgh! That guy! I would never forgive him, look what he had done. Inilibot ko ang aking mga mata sa paligid and everyone was just staring. I rolled my eyes and marched out of the cafeteria, sinundan ako ng natataranta kong bestfriend.

"Grabi Bes, heart pounding and nerve wrecking ang eksena niyo kanina ni Quintin, akala ko nga kailangan ko na tumawag ng ambulansya " banat ni Lea, once I went out of the Girls CR.

Nakapagpalit na ako into a new fresh set of clothes, pero hindi parin nababawasan ang inis ko sa lalaking iyon!

I glared at her "Bes, this is the right time to tell me that"

Lea winced, knowing that,  what I said was true, na this wasn't the right time to tell a joke.

Nagpupuyos pa ako sa galit. I banged my head into one of the lockers, "Hay nakakahiya yung kanina"

Lea patted my back and smiled at me sympathetically, "Ayos lang yan Bes. Makakalimutan din ng taong Madla yung nagyari kanina so don't be too hard on yourself"

"Sorry Bes, nadamay ka pa, ayan tuloy naka pagcutting class ka pa dahil sa akin " I told her with a teary eye.

"Sus Bes, Umayos ka nga, ayoko din sa subject na yun atsaka what are friends are for. 

Ah wait!! Anu ba yan, nakalimutan ko itext si Jowa. Baka magalit sa akin yun " mabilis na sabi nito.

Kinuha nito ang cellphone nito sa bulsa nito, I didn't take long ng biglang nanlaki ang mga mata nito kasabay ng pagtakip sa sariling bibig , na para nakakita itong ng isang hahindik hindik na bagay.

"Uy Bes! napano ka!" I raised an eyebrow at her, there was something the way she reacted. Medyo kinabahan ako, my brain screamed danger.

"Bes, promise me, you'll not freak out, okay?" there was hesitation in her voice.  I just nodded then she showed me a tweet.

Namula ako Minnie mouse! Then ibig sabihin nakita niya?! What the—?!

That was the design of my brassiere. How could he?!

Nakuyom ko ang aking kamao, nagpupuyos ako sa galit at tila sasabog na ako anumang minuto. Dali-dali ang aking mga hakabang, sinuyod ko ang buong lugar mahanap lang ang talipandas na iyon!

Natatarantang inaawat ako ni Lea but my brain was not listening.

Wala na makakapagpigil pa sa akin na harapin ang Quintin Valdez na iyon. Nang hindi nagtagal nakita ko din ito sa isang sulok sa may hardin sa bandang likod ng eskuwelahan.

May headset nakasuksok sa may tenga nito at bahagya itong nakapikit.

I walked toward him with narrowed eyes, "Quintin Valdez!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, didn't care about what others would say.

"You! How dare you! Delete that tweet this instance!" I commanded him, I was ranging mad. Halos umusok na ang ilong ko sa inis.

Quintin faced me and for a moment, I was hypnotized by his teasing eyes. He's so handsome.

Ipiniling ko ang aking ulo, anu ka ba Trish! Why are you admiring him, you should be hating him!  Agad ko winalis paalis sa aking isipan ang bagay na naisip ko. 

He smirked at me, amusement was evident in his eyes. He crossed his arm over his chest "Hey Trish, I can see that you've finally changed your clothes"

May panunudyo sa kanyang boses, nagtagis ang aking bagang when I remembered what he did.

My jaw clenched and without a second thought, dumapo ang aking kamao sa kanyang gawapong mukha which made him lose balance for a minute.

Some students who saw us gasped. My knuckles were hurting but It seemed somehow my anger was lifted.

He was a little bit dumbfounded and I walked toward him while he was holding his bruised face "Listen here, punk. You're right, I don't know you but you don't know me either and what I'm capable of!"

"Next time, don't mess with me" I whispered to his ear before leaving him. He had this face that's trying to understand what just had happened.
