Kabanata 6: The First Day

---DEANNE'S-POV---

"Care to explain?"

Napatingin ako rito. Anong ie-explain ko? Wala naman ah? Si ate talaga, gawa-gawa ng kwento. As far as I remember, I have nothing to explain.

"Explain what?" nakakunot nuo kong tanong.

"Why we ran in the mall like we are some sort of a criminal? Akala mo ba, hindi ako nakakahalata? You were busying yourself so I won't bring up 'that' topic. So now, spill it out, missy." Aba't ang taray ng kilay niya ah? Meron ba siya?

Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. "Okay fine."

She looked at me attentively. Napangiwi ako rito. I don't really wanna talk about it.

"Can we not talk about it?" Say yes, sis. Please!

Umiling lang ito bilang tugon at tinaas-taas pa ang kilay niya na parang interesadong-interesado siya. Napabuntong hininga na naman ako. Looks like I don't have a choice.

"I accused the guy as a gay," mahinang pagkakasabi ko.

"And why did you say that he's a gay? Do you have a proof?"

Napangisi ako. "You do know that I don't need a proof just to make people believe it. They always buy it."

"But that's absurd! Walang ginagawa sa 'yo 'yung lalaki---"

"Actually, he did. He humiliate me first in front of all of the people. And because I got pissed, I gave him his own dose of medicine. Isn't it great?" natatawa kong sabi.

Tinawanan niya lang din ako at hinampas ng mahina sa braso. "You brat. Baka naman nagpapapansin ka lang dun sa guy. I saw his face, sis. He's one of your types."

Kumibot naman ang labi ko ng marinig ko 'yun. "Hindi ah?! I hate that guy! Isama na rin 'yung unggoy niyang mukha. Aish! Nairita tuloy ako," pangdedepensa ko sa sarili.

She waved her hands in the air like she's giving up on that issue. "If you say so. Pero that's a first, sis. He's the first handsome guy that you don't have a crush on."

Nagpanting ang tenga ko sa sinabi niya. Are we arguing about that guy?

"Don't push it, Ate. You won't like it," malamig kong saad.

Bumalik naman siya sa katinuan at kumain na lang ng lunch. Good sister. Sinisira niya 'yung gabi ko e.

"Pero seryoso, sis. Wala ba talaga --"

"Ate!"

Tinawanan niya lang ako at nagpeace sign. Kainis siya! Sabi ng 'di ko nga type 'yun e.

---THIRD-PERSON'S-POV---

Nakatambay ngayon ang magkakatropa sa ilalim ng isang malaking puno. Break time, kaya nakatambay na naman sila.

"Dude, I heard that you're a gay. What happened, dude? Bakit bumigay ka? Pa'no na kami? Baka pagnasahan mo rin---"

"G*go!" sigaw ni Riel sa ka-tropa niyang si Jiro.

"Pero seryoso, dude. Nakakatawa 'yung nangyari dun sa mall. You looked epic. Natalo ka pa ni Nerd," asar pa niyang muli. Tumawa pa siya nang sobra at sinabayan rin siya ng isa pang ka-tropa.

Talaga kasing naging center of entertainment 'yung mall kahapon. Ang sinasamba ng lahat na si Jackriel Howells ay bakla pala, ayon sa isang 'di pa nila kilalang babae.

Halos kalahati ng grupo ng fans club niya ay umalis nang malaman ang balita. Ngunit nagawan rin naman ng paraan ito ng mga president ng fans club. They believe that they could turn their idol to become a guy again. In short, naniwala talaga sila na bakla siya.
