Chapter 34 |
Ice pack
Hanggang ngayon ay yung base parin ang ipinapaalam nila sakin. Tungkol sa gang life nilang tatlo. So, they're called The Three Lost Arrows. Nag daan narin ang ilang linggo—three weeks. Ginawa naming tambayan ang base na sinasabi nila.
"Put it down, I said put it down. I'm warning you, don't do it. Don't—"
Agad na yumuko si Yeshua just in time for the food to miss him and hit the kid behind him. Napasigaw yung studyante doon at nanlisik ang mga mata para hanapin kung sino ang bumato sa kanya. Pero nagtama ang tingin nila ni Yeshua. Napayuko yung studyante sa takot at umalis agad. Humagalpak lang ng tawa si Colleen. He was about to scoop up more of the food when Radleigh grabbed the spoon and fork, from across the table and away from Colleen.
"Stop playing with your food." Radleigh scolded him ng 'di manlang tinitingnan.
"Bakit naman?" Colleen whined. "I mean, it's not even food anyway." He emphasize it by taking Yeshua's spoon and scooping up some of the food to only drop it back on the plate with a plop.
"But why did you have to chuck it with me?
Nagkibit balikat si Colleen. "Hindi ko alam. Target practice?"
Before Yeshua could take his spoon back and return fire I cut in.
"May point siya doon," Sabi ko. "I don't know what it is, or even what it used to be. It's pretty disgusting." Ngumiwi ako.
"Aw, don't be so messed up," Colleen told me. "It's only Yeshua."
Tumingin samin si Yeshua. "Do me a favor and just hold me back. Because I swear I'll—"
"Guys, don't start a fight here," Radleigh said as he took a sip of his juice. "Fight somewhere else with less...witnesses."
Tumawa ako. "Bakit ba palagi kayong nag aaway?"
Ngumisi si Colleen at humalukipkip. "'Coz not only is it easy but it's fun too."
"And the thought of my fist connecting his face," Bumuntong hininga si Yeshua at pinalagutok ang daliri.
Sumulyap ako kay Radleigh. "Now for the real answer."
"But it is the real answer!" Yeshua and Colleen argued.
"I meant the more reasonable one," I replied back.
Umirap si Radleigh. "It's a guy thing. People usually show their friendship by being nice, being friendly. But with guys, we would make fun or tease the person but in a friendly way."
"Pero bullying iyon diba?" Nakataas na ang kilay ko.
They all blinked and just stared at me in confusion. Bakit? Hindi ba nila alam na maaaring bullying din ang ginagawa nila?
"I mean, I know you guys don't mean to. But the teasing, the threats, the jokes, it still countes as bullying, right?"
"Tama siya, tama!" Pumalakpak si Colleen.
"To people, there's a fine line between teasing and bullying." Paliwanag ni Radleigh. "But what really matters is does it hurt their feelings? If they don't take it seriously, then it's alright, but if it really hurts them, then it's not."
We looked at Colleen and Yeshua who shook their heads.
"Hindi siya nakakasakit promise!" Paninigurado ni Colleen. "I find it funny, though. Especially the good jokes."
"Me too," Yeshua said. "I know it's all jokes with Shannon. I mean, his whole face is a joke."
Humalakhak si Colleen. "Oh that's a lot coming from you."
