Crystal's POVNaalala ko noon, ako palagi yung gumagawa mg paraan para magkaayos o makapag date sina Jessie at Renz. Well, that's what friends are for right? I'd cover up anything for him. Kasi I know, he'd do the same for me too. But the worst and his last request happened last last week. Where in, muntik na kaming mahuli. And that's when I swore di ko na yun uulitin pa.

"nasaan ka na ba? nagsisimula na yung klase" bulong ko. kausap ko si Renz ngayon sa phone. Kakatapos lang ng recess namin at hindi parin siya pumapasok sa classroom. Papagalitan talaga to ni Maam. Leche to!
"Nandito ako sa Mall" paliwanag niya.
"ANO!?" Napasigaw ako kaya tinignan ako ng mga kaklase ko at nagpeace sign nalang ako. I asked a permission sa guro namin kung pwede bang lumabas kasi may tumatawag sa akin at pinayagan niya naman ako.
"bat ka nandiyan?" tanong ko kay Renz. It's so unusual for him to cut classes kasi mabait tong lalaking to. Unless..
"kasama ko ngayon si Jessie" sabi niya sa akin. tss I knew it. Bad influence nga sa kanya yung babae niya. Tch.
"nagcutting kayong dalawa?" I asked. Duh. Obvious naman Crystal eh.
"Yeah. pleaaaase, gawan mo ako ng excuse letter" he said. I rolled my eyes and sighed. Hindi nato tama. Delikado to eh. Ayaw kong masangkot sa kakalokohan nila. And it's against the rules.
"ayoko nga" sabi ko and Ieend na sana yung call.
"Wait. Sige na! ililibra kita ng Chocolates~" aba! He's bribing me.
"no way. May pero ako noh. makakabili ako niyan" nakakainis naman kasi eh. bakit niya kasama si Jessie? tss.
"Crystal, sige na huh? bestfriend mo naman ako diba? mahal mo naman ako diba? sige ha~ thank you. I love you!" and he ended the call. he's such a jerk. gagamitin niya pa yang I love you niya. alam niya namang hindi ko siya matatanggihan. Alam niya naman kasing malakaa siya sa akin. Aish!
Bumalik na ako sa classroom at gumawa ng EXCUSE letter. Oo, I'm making an excuse para lang sa mag-jowang yun, tsk. Okay lang sana kung si Renz lang eh pero yung isasali ko pa yung maldita na maarte niyang girlfriend? Ugh! Nakakainis. Himala nga at ginawan ko siya ng excuse letter eh. Pagkatapos ng dalawang subjects namin, lunch na. Pumunta ako sa principal's office at binigay kay Maam Dualo yung excuse letter nilang dalawa.
"So, may sakit si Clarrence? At ansent din si Jessie?" Maam Dualo asked suspicously. Nako nako! Yan nanga ba eh! Pta! Eto na yung kinatatakutan ko eh. Ako ang mananagot nito eh.
"k-kasi po, n-nagka--uhh..coincidence. Jessie is having aan uhh..e-emergency..y..yun nga" and wtf! I'm stuttering. Ang sinulat ko sa excuse letter ni Renz ay may sakit siya while si Jessie naman ay nago-out of town kasi may emergency. At dahil close yung mommy ko sa mommy ni Jessie, alam ko yung signature ng mommy niya. I can forge signatures. At alam ko rin naman yung sa kay Clarrence.
"Ok. Ms. Parker, if I will find out na kasinungalingan lang ang mga ito, ikaw ang mananagot." ang strict talaga ni Maam Dualo. huhuh.
"o-ok po" I stood up at nag90 degree bow. she dismissed me after kaya pumunta na ako sa classroom ko. Nawalan tuloy ako ng ganang kumain ng lunch. Tsk.
Bakit nga ba close yung mom ko sa mom ni Jessie? Yung mommys namin ay mag kaklase noon. We used to be very close. Kami ni Jessie but somethinh changed when we were in Grade 6. Nagalit siya sa akin amd said I was not meant to be friend with her. She threw harsh and hurtful words but wala akong nagawa. We were too younh back then. I though it was just temporary, 'mawawala rin yung galit niya' I said to myself but wala eh. Hanggang a mag college nalang kami with the same course and university. She still hates me.
Anyway, her mom is a doctor while her dad is a lawyer. She has two chubby pero cute siblings. And be honest, maganda naman talaga si Jessie eh. Mayaman at matalino. She's good at volleyball but natalo ko siya at ako ang naging Captain ng volleyball team. THAT'S ALSO A REASON WHY WE HATE EACH OTHER! Founder raw siya sa club na Anti Crystal (which I don't give a fdge) AT, siya ang nanligaw kay Renz. Yep. Siya ang nanligaw. But gusto din naman siya ni Renz eh. She just made the first move. And it was gross. Siya kaya yung babae. But whatever, new generation, right?
Hindi naman ako yung klaseng tao na nagagalit agad ng walang dahilan. ako galit ako kay Jessie kasi may dahilan ako. But I'll tell you the reason next time.

buti nalang at hindi kami nahuli nun. pero, hindi ko pinansin si Renz nun ng tatlong araw. Naiinis kasi talaga ako. Bakit ba? May karapatan naman ako ah? Kasi BESTFRIEND KO SIYA!
si Jessie naman, hindi lang ako pinapansin. And I didn't even recieve a thank you from her. But it's fine because I DON'T NEED HER. Pero kahit na girlfriend siya ng bestfriend ko, papatulan ko parin yung babaeng yun no. I''ll shover her tongue down her throat if I have to. Malandi kasi siya. Naiinis ako sa kanya! Aaagggggghhhh!!
