I Fell And I Can't Get Up

I'm the President

"I-I like y-you" napatigil ako sa paglalakad ng makita ko sa hallway si Pia, one of my friends. Based on what I've heard, nagco-confess ba siya?! I shifted my gaze to the guy in front of her. The notorious bad boy of crosswell high, eh? Ang kulit ng babaeng 'to. Ilang beses ko ng sinabi na hindi siya papansinin ng lalaking 'to pero look at her now...

Napailing na lang ako. Well, this bad boy got the LBM....hindi Low Bowel Movement kundi Looks, Money and Brain. Pero I'm not interested on him...at all. I'll die first before I like him.

Pupuntahan ko na sana si Pia ng magsalita si Van.

"You like me?" Tanong niya. Pia's eyes widened and she nodded.

"M-matagal na"

Silence....

"Uh, pumapatay ako ng pusa" bigla kaming natigilan sa sinabi ni Van. Uh, connect?

"Huh?" ngayon ay takang-taka na si Pia, so am I.

"Uh, I also wear lipstick at home"  now I get it, sinusubukan ba niyang ma-turn off sa kanya si Pia? What's with that? He can actually dumped girls easily, pero bakit pinapatagal pa niya kay Pia. Pwede namang sabihin niya na...."I don't like you, stop bothering me" ganon!

"W-what?" Mukhang effective naman kasi napalayo ng konti si Pia sa kanya.

Van lowered his head. Pia blushed, she's that affected huh? Van whispered something before he walked away at kung ano man ang ibinulong niya...kailangan kong malaman. He made Pia stunned. I immediately approach her.

"What did he say?" tanong ko.

"He's.. H-he's..."

"Hey! " Nagulat na lang ako ng bigla niya akong yakapin. She's crying now? What the hell? Ang corny neto ha.

"Hey. What did he say?" Ulit ko sa tanong ko kanina.

"He's G-gay" muntik na akong matumba. He's what?! If we're not in this situation, tumatawa na siguro ako.

Wala ba siyang matinong dahilan? I can't believe Pia fell for that! Naniwala siya sa kumag na 'yon? Ghad! This is even worse than rejecting her.

"Shhhhh" I patted her back. See? I knew this will happen. Pia's crazy about him ever since we entered this school.

"He's Gay Raine" she whispered.

"That's stupid! Naniwala ka naman?"

"Huh?" Okay, I must say...medyo uto-uto at slow 'tong si Pia. Yung tipong kailangan mong ipaliwanag ng mabuti sa kanya ang isang bagay bago niya maintindihan.

"Wala! Sabi ko naman sayo, hopeless case ang meron ka" sabi ko habang hinihila siya palayo. We still have class to attend to. Hindi dapat pinoproblema ang mga ganitong bagay.

Habang naglalakad ay nakasalubong namin si Lea. She's also our friend. She's wearing a glasses and her hair is too short for a girl. Mapapagkamalan mo siyang lesbian but na -uh. She's a Hello kitty addict, mind you.

"Anong nangyari dyan?" tanong niya.

"Nabasted" sabi ko sabay tawa. Napatawa na din si Lea.

"Ang mean niyo!!!!" Sigaw ni Pia. I stopped laughing and faced her.

"No shouting on the hallway please" sabi ko at inirapan niya lang ako. I crossed my arms.

"Hoy Pia, hindi dahil kaibigan kita ay exempted ka na sa mga rules ng school---" paliwanag ko.

"Correction! Rules MO, hindi ng school" angal niya.

"What?" I asked and she replied...

"Totoo naman diba?"
