Bunch of MENDOZAs

Chapter 37

"Xyzzy! Nakakainis ka naman eh!" Pambungad sa akin Mavie nang makapasok ako sa loob ng classroom.

She also looked at the two guys behind me who's also intently looking at her.

I smiled. "Bakit hindi kayo natuloy pumunta sa bahay kahapon?" I mocked.

Nagdadabog naman siya magpunta sa upuan niya katabi si Andeng at ngumuso.

I heard Zaine and Aki chuckle that made me smile even more.

It's Tuesday, we have classes like there was no typhoon. Well, it's understandable, we weren't that affected. Yun nga lang, hindi tumuloy sila Mavie at Andeng sa pagpunta sana kahapon. Paano, pagkatapos na pagkatapos sabihin ni Andeng ang mga mahiwagang salita, naghiyawan ang buong angkan ng Mendoza. So malamang nalaman na naka on yung speaker ng phone.

We walked to our seats and still, I can't suppress my smile. Halata rin kay Mavie na ayaw pa niyang makaharap ang kung sino man sa mga Mendoza dahil sa hiya but she has no other choices.

"Xyzzy nakakapikon 'yang tawa mo." She seriously said to me and rolled her eyes.

"Ateng kung ako sa'yo itigil mo. Ang sakit kaya manapak ng babaeng 'to." Maarteng sabi naman ni Andeng. "Naka-ilan siya kahapon noong nalaman namin na naka-on yung speaker ng phone."

I chuckled. "Sabi ni Breii payag na payag daw siya sa paraan na gusto mo."

Nagtawanan kami ni Andrei at pati yata si Aki at Zaine natawa kaya agad akong binato ni Mavie ng notebook.

"Napipikon ako!" She angrily said.

"Napipikon? So talaga ngang sinabi mo 'yon?" I again laughed with her reaction.

I never thought my friend would say those.

May kumatok naman sa pinto at maya maya pa ay pumasok si Claudia dala dala ang gamit ng teacher namin.

"Uy alam niyo ba? May gwapong umaaligid diyan sa scholar na 'yan?"

Agad lumaki ang tainga ko sa pinag-uusapan ng mga babae sa likuran namin. They are talking about Claudia, surely it's also about Rain.

"Ah oo! Yung Mendoza 'yon eh! Ang gwapo nga. Sobrang yummy. Pinsan ng dalawang 'yon." The other girl answered, maybe pointing Aki and Zaine right now.

"Mayaman ang angkan na 'yon 'di ba? Eh baka nabili na no'n si girl." The other one said too that made them laugh. "Kung ako lang din naman okay lang total ang gwapo ng lalake." She added.

"Pero ang malas ng lalake. Sexy lang naman 'yang babaeng 'yan eh."

"Good morning..." pagbati ni Claudia matapos niyang i-set yung projector kaya naman siya nalang ang papakinggan ko kaysa sa mga pakialamera. "Ms. Lucy will be late but she left something to be done. Please give the activity sheets to your representative after answering."

"Hey scholar! Kamusta naman ang pagiging gold digger mo?" One of the girls behind us shouted and they laughed.

Agad namang napatingin sa kanila si Claudia at umayos ng tayo. "I don't do the same business as yours." She calmly said and started fixing her stuff.

Halos pagtawanan ng buong klase yung babae and of course, for a brat, she couldn't take it.

Nagmamadali siyang tumayo at bumaba papunta kay Claudia. "Don't you know me?" Mataray na tanong niya.

If I'm not wrong, that's Missie Santiago. One of the popular brats.

"No." Cludia just answered.

"I'm Maria Desiree Santiago. You can also call me Missie. I'm the only heir of Santiago Banks." Mataray pa rin niyang sabi.

She even crossed her arms and stared at Claudia.

"Good to know you. I will not put up a fight I already know the result. Daig ng matalino ang mayaman. Know when to use heir and heiress first before having the confidence to judge me."

Bumukas naman ang pinto at pumasok ang isang pamilyar na babae pero mukhang iilan lang ang nakapansin dahil nga busy sila sa panonood kay Claudia at Missie. They are even chanting and yelling.

Missie became more furious and about to attack Claudia when the girl stepped in front of Missie.

"Oh my god..." Andrei whispered not because he recognizes the girl, but because a very familiar man stepped inside too, with Bea's bag.

"Girl, I don't tolerate fighting when I'm around. Please go to your respective seats. I have announcement." Bea said before letting go of Missie.

The girl who entered is Bea Sapphires... and the man on the doorway holding Bea's bag is Breii Yu-Rhi Mendoza.

Bea's beauty is obviously powerful. With a typical Filipina beauty with dazzling white skin and long curly hair, her beauty can be compared to a goddess.

Missie and Claudia both went to sit somewhere as we listen to the Student Government president.

Napansin ko naman ang titig ni Breii, hindi sa akin, kundi sa katabi ko.

I also looked at Mavie who's intently looking at him too. But sadness is obvious.

"Good morning everyone." She greeted with her sweet sarcastic smile. "On Friday, there will a Bands' Night and everyone who is willing to come will only have to pay 500 php. Questions?"

"Is he your boyfriend?" Someone asked that made her genuinely smile.

Lumapit naman siya kay Breii at humawak sa braso niya. "Hmm, let's say... soon sasagutin ko din siya."

Maraming kinilig sa sagot niya pero may nanggalaiti sa tabi ko.

"So, mukhang tungkol lang din kay Breii ang itatanong niyo, so I suggest basahin niyo nalang sa page ng school ang gusto niyong malaman tungkol sa event. Bye everyone." Masaya niyang sabi bago sila lumabas ni Breii ng room.

Sumunod na ring umalis si Claudia at sumunod na rin ang luha ng kaibigan namin sa pagpatak.

Agad namin siyang niyakap ni Andeng. Maski si Zaine at Aki todo titig din kay Mave.

"Aww. Eh bakit ka umiiyak?" Andrei asked.

"Ha? Wala naman Andeng! Ang sarap sa mata ng nakita ko eh! Hindi ako nasaktan! Nalaman ko pang nililigawan na pala niya. Okay lang! okay lang talaga." She sarcastically said and cried even more.

"Mavie, ang gusto niyang sabihin, bakit ka ngayon umiiyak eh ikaw ang nagpalayo kay Breii?" I gently said.

"Eh gusto ko pala yata siya? Or mahal? Eh tapos ang tanga ko!"

"Ayun! Nasabi mo yung gusto kong sagot mo!" Sigaw ni Andrei at namaywang. "Ang boba mo kasi! Binalewala mo! Pibahiya mo! Sinisigawan mo! Tapos ngayong may iba na umiiyak ka! Saksakan ng tanga! At mukhang may susunod pa!" Nguso naman niya sa 'kin kaya sa kanya ko naman binato yung notebook kanina.

"Bakla hindi nakakatulong!" I said.

"'Wag mo 'kong binabato diyan na parang hindi ako tama! Ang gulo niyo kasing mga babae! Diyan na nga ako sa tabi niyo papa Zaine." He just said and went to sit beside Aki and Zaine.

I looked at Mavie and held her face. "You will meet many more guys. Know your worth, never chase a guy."

"Xyzzy naman eh! Marupok ako!" Pagmamaktol niya kaya naman nabigyan ko siya ng malutong na hampas.
