She Loves Him. She Loves Him not.

CHAPTER FOUR: "Deal?"

Mika

Di ko matandaan, yung ang sinabi sa akin ni Miguel matapos kong sabihin sa kanya na ninakawan nya ako ng halik. Ang kapal naman ng mukha nya para i-deny yung ginawa nya sa akin!

Nagsimula ng dumami yung mga tao sa paligid namin. I look at Migz at mukhang nag-iisip pa din sya ng malalim.

“Sinasabi mo bang I am making up stories?” I shouted.

“Malay ko? Basta I can’t remember kissing you! Baka napanaginipan mo lang yun.”

ANG KAPAL!!!! NUKNUKAN NG YABANG!

I was really mad. He is denying everything that I am saying. He is such a liar!

I noticed that everyone is starting to whisper at each other and they were all glancing at me. Pakiramdam ko si Miguel ang mas pinaniniwalaan nila kesa sa akin. Di ko na napigilang umiyak dahil sa kahihiyan. Miguel looks surprised to see me cry. I want to get out of this place. I don’t want people to see me cry because of this Stupid Lying Jerk! Suddenly I saw Adrian walking towards me and then he pulled me away from that place. Hinayaan ko na lang sya dahil I really want to run away that moment. Huminto kami sa may School Garden. Adrian lets go of my hand pero hindi pa din sya humarap sa akin.

“Ayokong nakakakita ng babaeng umiiyak.” He said to me then he handed me a hankerchief. Tinanggap ko ito and then I wiped my tears. Adrian finally faces me.

“Is it true?” He asks. Tumingin ako sa kanya.

“Ang alin?” I ask.

“That He kissed you?” Hindi din ba sya naniniwala sa akin like the others? Ano bang tingin nila sa akin sinungaling? At bakit ba nya ako tinatanong? Hindi naman sya kasama sa issue na ito.

“Wag kang makialam sa buhay ko Adrian.” I said as I return his hankerchief and then I left him behind.

          Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta after I left Adrian at the School Garden. Ang kapal talaga ng mukha nung Quintanilla na yun para itanggi lahat ng nangyari. Naaalala ko pa ang mga mukha ng tao kanina sa may labas ng gym. They are looking at me with disbelief. I think I just have to go to the pool. Maybe a few laps can cool me down.

          Pagdating ko ng pool I immediately changed into my swim suit and then I started to dive in and swim. Nakakatatlong laps na ako when I decided to stop and sit at the side of pool at magtampisaw na lang ng tubig. Somehow swimming always makes me feel better. When my mom and dad used to fight before lagi akong tumatakas palabas ng bahay and then I go to the clubhouse to swim. Pakiramdam ko the water cleanses every pain that I have inside me. I closed my eyes and suddenly I remember that horrible night in my life.

“Mamita how many times have I told you that I don’t want to go to that Corny prom!” himutok ko sa Mommy ko. She keeps on insisting that I should attend that stupid prom! I hate it! Lahat nga ng nag-imbita sa akin tinanggihan ko. Wala naman kasi akong ibang maisip na gagawin dun sa Prom na yun so why should I waste my time going there anyway?

“No! You will attend that Prom Mika whether you like it or not!” madiing sinabi ng Mommy ko nakabili na kasi si Mamita ng isusuot ko na dress without my consent. Isang tingin ko pa lang dun sa cocktail dress na yun nasusuka na talaga ako! Baby blue ang kulay tapos halos backless pa! I mean I won’t wear that crap! It’s too revealing for me.

“But Mamita ayoko talagang pumunta!”

“Huwag matigas ang ulo Mikaela!” my Mom shouted. Hindi na ako nag complain pa since she already called me by my full name and when that happens I know I have to comply to her whims or else….
