The Status Between Us

Chapter 2- Someone's Back

Kararating ko lang ngayon sa school and napahinga ako ng malalim when I still have 10 minutes before my first class in the afternoon. Kung nagtataka kayo kung bakit afternoon agad ang class ko kahit na kadalasan ay dapat umaga ang simula ng ibang storya, ay dapat wag kanang magbasa nito. Bakit? Dahil hindi ikaw ang papasok sa school. Ako. Kaya whether you like it or not hapon ang klase ko and I don't care about you. *smirk*

I took my things, got off my car, and swiftly walked towards the classroom. I took a seat on a now half-filled room of students that are so busy taking pictures and chatting with friends. Pinili ko yung pinakahuling upuan sa likod dahil yun ang comfort zone ko.

Since wala pa naman ang prof namin, I'll tell you a little about myself. I'm 19 years old and taking up Interior Designing. Mayaman kami (obviously) and wala ako sa mood magkwento tungkol sa yaman namin. Malalaman niyo din naman yan sa susunod na chapters. I am the youngest daughter and my older brother is already a pilot. Nasa USA sya ngayon working in a prestigious airport company. Kung sa tingin nyo isa akong brat, then you're thinking wrong. I'm a good girl...

But

It depends with whom I am talking to. Dahil kung mabait ka, mabait din ako. Pero kung isa kang malditang babaita na may mukhang paa o gagong babaero na may manyak na mukha, then you should think twice kung bubwisitin mo ako dahil kaya kitang alisin sa mundong ito na walang ka hirap-hirap.

"Good afternoon, students" si prof

"Good afternoon, sir" reply nung mga diligent students

"You may take your seats now" prof

"Next week we are all going to a trip. Get ready and it'll be a 5-day trip out of town. The details of the trip will be posted on our department board so try visiting it later".

Habang nagpapatuloy si prof sa mga announcements nya, may biglang kumatok sa pinto. We all stopped for a while looking at the door. Halos mabingi ang room sa sobrang tahimik dahil nga sa bwisit na unggoy na kumakatok sa pinto. Isa kasi sa rules ng school ay bawal ang late unless you have very valid reasons like may namatay na sa pamilya or anything like that.

Binuksan ni prof ang pinto and lumuwa dun ang isang lalaking nakangiti na parang timang.

"Hi everyone!" bati nya habang kumakaway sa lahat ng students

"Young man, are you in this class?" tanong ni prof

"Wait po let me check" may kinuha syang notebook sa bag nya at binuksan ito

"Is Expiry here?" tanong nung lalaki

Lahat sila biglang tumingin sa akin.

"What?" poker face kung tanong sa kanila.

Tumingin ulit sila kina prof at isang chismosang babae ang nagtaas ng kamay.

"Why are you looking for her? Did I hear it correctly? Hinahanap mo si Expiry? Why? Ano ka ba nya?" sabay tingin sa akin.

I rolled my eyes and stood up para matapos na ang kabobohang ito.

"May death wish ka ba?" me talking to the monkey

Ngumiti lang sya at tumigin kay prof.

"Sir, I think this is exactly where I belong" ngumiti pa sya at kinindatan ako.

I rolled my eyes and took my seat. I plugged in my earphones and hindi na ako nakinig kay prof. Alam ko naman na puro announcements lang din naman ang lalabas sa bunganga niya. Pupunta nalang ako sa information board later to know more about it.

I got lost with what I'm listening to at hindi ko namalayan na may tumabi na pala sakin.

It was Macy Ruh. Nerd sa umaga, bitch sa gabi. Pano ko nalaman? Later malalaman nyo.

"Hi Expiry Date dba?"Macy talking to me with a very sweet smile. Yck!

"Hmm?"

"Kilala mo ba yung bagong dating?"

"Yes"

"Really?" seriously lumiwanag yung mukha nya.

"Yes" nakakabwisit tong babaeng ito. Napakachismosa!

"Ano mo ba sya? Hindi naman siguro sya ganun ka significant sa buhay mo dba? Kasi obvious naman na on how you answered him kanina" she was looking at that guy na para bang she is so interested in him.

"Noon, significant. Ngayon, never" I answered her dryly

"Noon? Bakit? What's with noon and ngayon? Sige na Expiry. Tell me" sabay cling nya sa arm ko.

Gosh nakakairita na syaaaaa!

"He's my Ex. Happy?" then I smirked and plugged in my earphones.

I glanced at the guy who left me 2 years ago. I don't know why he's back and what he wants but for sure he's gonna mess up my life again. This time, I won't let him break my guards down. Not anymore.

As if on cue, bigla nman syang tumingin sakin. I looked at the window and wished it would rain. Luckily, it did. It brought back memories I wished I'd forget my whole life but I just can't.

I heaved a deep sigh and closed my eyes. This is gonna be a long day indeed.
