"Naiirita na talaga ko sa malanding Mai na yan!" inis na sabi ni Leslie as she threw her bag on the couch.  
"Sinabi mo pa girl! After ni Josh and Baby Nick si Gino naman ngayon! Nakakainis!" sabi ni Desiree, naupo siya para buksan yung e-mail niya sa laptop ni Leslie.  
"We need to do something! Hindi tayo pwedeng magpakamartyr lang!"  
"OM, girl! Mukhang alam ko na kung pano, tingnan mo to! Dalii!" nilapitan ni Leslie si Desiree then she smirked.  
"This is so good!" She smiled evilly.

Thursday. Sinundo ulit ako ni Gino sa bahay, umuulan na naman kasi and wala si Nick ngayon maagang umalis papunta ng hospital ng papa niya. Kaya ayun, sumabay na ko, besides sanay na naman ako sa bulungan ng mga tao sa school, ang nakakainis lang talaga, sina Leslie at Desiree, kami na naman ni Aria yung favorite nilang ibully ngayon since kami na nga yung parating kasama ni Nat, idagdag pa na nanliligaw kay Aria si Gab and yung kumakalat na balita na pati daw si Gino nanliligaw na talaga sakin.

As usual, habang nagppark ng kotse si Gino, umuuna na ko sa pagpasok ng highschool building, wala akong balak intayin pa siya no, lalo lang lalaki yung issue and I don't want to add fuel to the fire. Naglalakad na ko paakyat ng 2nd floor nung sinalubong ako ni Leslie at Desiree.

"Well, well, well... if it isn't the gold digger." Sabi ni Desiree as her short 4 foot something frame tried to block me. I rolled my eyes at her.  
"Good morning to you too, shorty." I faked smiled at her as I continued walking.  
"Ang lakas talaga ng loob mong magyabang no." Sabi ni Leslie as she blocked me this time.
"Pwede ba, I don't have time for this." I muttered crossing my arms.  
"Bakit? Natatakot ka ba sa pwede naming sabihin?"  
"What?" I looked at them, Leslie smirked, and like the little drama queen she is, she called everyones attention.
"Guys! Listen up! You all need to hear this." Nung nasa amin na yung atensyon ng lahat, she turned to me.  
"This girl, is a classic example of a gold digger!" She smirked at me.  
"Tama naman diba? Nung una si Jacob yung kinapitan mo, siguro nung mga panahong yon hindi mo pa alam na mahirap siya no?" sabi ni Desiree.  
"And with that realization si Josh naman yung sinunod mo and then si Nick, sorry ka na nga lang since mukhang hindi umubra yung advances mo sa kanila, kaya ngayon, si Rick naman at Gino yung nilalandi mo!" Sabi ni Leslie and to make everything dramatic, may ihinagis siyang mga pictures, I saw one and in it were me and Rick, nung nag Mang Inasal kaming dalawa a few weeks ago and then kami ni Gino nung Saturday.

Wow. Stalker much?

"Tapos ka na ba?" tanong ko sa kanya, my face still passive and uncaring, namula yung mukha ni Leslie, mukhang hindi niya inaasahan yung pagkakalmado ko. I was about to walk away nung nagsimula na naman siyang magsalita.  
"Like mother like daughter, right?" I turned to face her.  
"Anong sabi mo?"  
"Like mother like daughter, someone told me your mother left you and your father right?" I glared at her, pano niya nalaman yun? For all I know I never talked about my family, siguro kina Aria lang dati tapos kay Gino nung isang araw.  
"Anak ka ng pokpok, kaya kayo iniwan!" Sabi pa ni Desiree.  
"What?!" I looked at her.  
"Pokpok, as in babaeng bayaran. Siguro sooner or later yun na din mangyayare sayo right? Pokpok!" she repeated.
"Bawiin mong sinabi mo!" sigaw ko sa kanya. I knew I shouldn't have yelled coz it'll only encourage her, but at that point, I was just so mad, how dare they say that! Hindi nila kilala si Mama. How dare they.  
"Bakit? Nakakahiya ba?" Challenged Leslie.  
"Dapat masanay ka na diba? Kasi yun yung totoo!"  
"Pokpok ang nanay mo at pagdating ng panahon Pokpok ka na din!" I was about to yell back when someone beat me to it.
"Tama na yan!" si Gino, mukhang narinig niya yung mga sinabi nila, kasunod niya si Josh na mabilis namang lumapit sakin pati na si Aria, mukhang kadadating lang nila.  
"Gino, she's just using you!" giit ni Leslie. Tumingin siya sakin.  
"Tumigil ka nga, sinong nagsabi saya tungkol sa nanay niya?" Inis na tanong niya. Hindi sumagot yung dalawa. Ang lakas ng loob mang-away tapos tameme naman pag si Ginong kaharap. Pathetic.
"Tama na! Wala kang alam sakin, hindi mo ko kilala at mas lalong hindi mo kilalang nanay ko. So shut the fuck up!" I glared at them tapos umalis na ko. Masyado lang hahaba, alam ko namang hindi niya aaminin kung sino mang nagsabe sa kanya at naiinis lang lalo ako.

--->GINO<--- 
Umalis na si Mai pero nadun parin ako.  
"Sinong nagsabe sayo?!" inis na tanong ko parin kay Leslie.  
"H-hindi ko kilala. Hindi ko alam." Nanginginig na sagot niya.  
"Anong hindi mo alam?"
"Si Des, may nagsend lang kay Des nitong mga pictures!" sabi ni Leslie.  
"Sino?" tanong ni Josh, lumapit na rin siya samin.  
"I don't know. Walang pangalan yung nagsend saken." Sabi ni Desiree.  
"Whoever it is, itigil niyo yang pagkakalat niyo ng mga yan, wala kayong alam, at lalong itigil niyo ng pambubully niyo sa kanya kung ayaw niyong akong makaharap niyo." Tumango lang yung dalawa, tapos umalis na ako.

Somewhere within the small crowd.
"Sigurado ka bang hindi tayo mattrace?" Sabi ni S1  
"Oo, wag kang mag-alala, fool-proof yung plan natin." Sagot naman ni S2  
"But I feel bad for her." Sabi ni S3
"Bakit ka ba maaawa sa kanya? Besides, hindi naman satin nanggaling yung pokpok yung nanay niya e." Sagot ulit ni S2.  
"Hindi nga, kaso hindi na dapat natin sinabi sa kanila." Sabi ni S2.  
"Hayaan mo na, nangyare na e, besides kelangan nating mag-ingat, wag na nating pag-usapan to, okay?" Sabi ni S3.  
"Okay."

"Nakakainis girl! Bakit siya pinagtanggol ni Gino?" Inis na sabi ni Desiree as they went inside the washroom.  
"Ewan ko! Nakakainis! Napahiya tayo!" sabi ni Leslie.  
"So what now Les?"  
"We get revenge of course!"  
"Pano?"  

"Nakita mo na ba yung mga paintings para bukas?" tanong ng isang first year, sa kaklase niya na pumasok din ng washroom.  
"Hindi pa, bakit?"  
"Nilipat na daw kasi sa hall e, sinisilip namin kanina kaso may takip yung sa fourth year, yung kay Mai at Aria daw."  
"Talaga? Siguro maganda yung mga yun."  
"Siguro." Nung lumabas na yung 2 first year, nagkatinginan sina Desiree at Leslie and then they smirked. 

--->MAI<--- 
"Sigurado ka bang okay ka lang?" Tanong sakin ni Nat. It's already lunch time pero topic parin yung nangyare kanina.  
"Yes guys, I'm fine, tapos na yun."  
"Don't worry Mai, alam naman namin yung totoo, alam naming hindi ganun mommy mo." Sabi ni Josh, I smiled at him.  
"Besides, grabe huh? Pati ako nadamay? Kasalanan ko bang maawa sayo nung araw na yun?" Biro ni Rick.  
"Kung makapagsalita ka para kong PG a?!" I mock glared at him.  
"Ahh, hindi ba?" pang-aasar niya.  
"Adik ka."  
"Ayan, ganyan Mai, smile ka lang, okay? What matters is naniniwala kami sayo." sabi ni Jacob.  
"Thanks guys." I smiled at them, who would have thought I'll find friends like them here, na kahit wala silang alam about me, they still trust me.

5 pm, sa Activity Hall.  

"Wait Les, sigurado ka bang walang makakakita satin?" Tanong ni Desiree as they quietly went inside the hall.  
"Yes, but if you don't shut up, baka meron!" sagot ni Leslie as they made their way inside.  
"Kaso, alin dito yung kay Mai?" Tanong ni Desiree as they looked around.  
"Diba sabi nila may takip yung dun sa dalawa, so I'm guessing alin man dun sa dalawa, dali!" sabi ni Leslie, nilapitan nila yung dalawang painting na nakapatong sa dalawang stand, they uncovered both.
"Ito, see, ito yung pangalan niya!" turo ni Desiree.  
"Well, let's unleash our wrath on this piece of trash." Leslie smirked, she took out a cutter and started cutting through the canvas, easily destroying the painting, after slashing it, hinagis pa nila sa sahig yun painting at pinag-aapakan. After their horrible deed, binalik nila sa stand yung drawing, tinakluban at nagmadaling lumabas.
