Enough
Mabilis na lumipas ang mga araw. Some were peaceful and some were not.
Leslie would always say things. Ipaparinig niya at magtatawanan sila. I don't really care, kahit ano pa man yan. Puro lang naman gawa-gawang paninira. I pity them, Leslie and Florence. They looked happy but happiness in someones miserable life. Disgusting!
"I heard na nakuha na ni Lucas ang virginity niyan." Leslie whispered.
Napanting ang tainga ko dahil sa narinig. Madalas kong binabalewala pero ang marinig ang tungkol sa ganyan. Naku! Makasampal yata ako ng di oras.
"Leslie, will you please stop it?" Florence warned.
Florence is nicer compared to Leslie. Pero hindi pa rin morally right ang pambu-bully na ginagawa nila minsan. They are in College already but their way of thinking is like of a high school student and childish.
"What? Sinasabi ko lang naman ang totoo." She said innocently. Parang totoo naman ang sinabi niya.
Sa huli ang kumalma na lang ako. I heard Katrina and Aida's gritted teeth.
"Can I slap her?" Katrina asked. Nanggigigil.
Sienna rolled her eyes at pinagpatuloy na lang ang pagbabasa. "It has been weeks since they were making fun and destroying your reputation by spreading rumors Mary Axelle." She said. Umiling siya at nag-angat nang tingin. "Don't you think, you need to clear things out?"
Aida who is crazy like Katrina shook her head. "Sienna, kung lilinawin niya, parang guilty nga siya diba?"
"Maybe, but it is better than them ruining you. Bakit ba kasi ikaw ang pinagdidiskitahan? Did something happen?" Sienna's eyes are filled with curiousity. Nanliit ito.
Tiningnan ko si Soraida na nakangisi. Sinasabing tulungan niya ako pero tumawa lang ang bruha.
Katrina giggled. "Max..." she started. "Is this about Lucas?"
My eyes widened. Suprised that she knew about him.
"What?" Nag-iwas ako nang tingin. "Hindi ko alam ang sinasabi ko Kat."
Umiling si Kat at mukhang si Sienna ay nakikinig na. "Lucas?" Sienna asked. Parang di makapaniwala.
Nagtaas ng kilay si Sienna sa akin.
Wait, parang alam silang hindi ko alam.
Natigil lang ang pag-uusap namin nang may papel na padabog na naglagay sa lamesa namin.
"Here is your papers." Leslie grinned. What a bitch?!
"Thank you bitch!" Aida sneered.
Natigil si Leslie sa paglakad palayo. Katrina crossed her arms and Sienna watched them without any emotion. Hindi man lang nagulat tong babaeng ito.
I pinched Aida's waist. "Stop it!" I murmured then smiled to Leslie fakely. Just to cover what Aida had said.
Katrina arched a brow to Leslie. "Leslie, can stop being a bitch?" She asked mercilessly. Na para bang wala lang iyon, like it is not that offending her.
