Margaux: The Revelations

2. College - The Beginning

"Hi im Girly Reyes, GiGi for short! First year med.tech.! Ikaw?"

Pakilala ng isang maliit at cute na babae sa akin habang kinukuha ko ang schedule ng first year medical technology sa information board. I smiled at her and realized her name really fitted her.

"Margaux Evangelista of the same course, first year. Nice to meet you GiGi"

"Margaux! Wow. Do you have your company? If wala, libre ako. Kailangan mo lang pagtiisan ang you-know, maganda kong attitude!"

Hindi ko mapigilang tumawa kay Girly. She was really something. For a while, magaan na kaagad ang loob ko sa kanya.

"Wala nga e, segi pagtitiisan ko" Biro ko.

"Yay! Friends?" Inilahad ni Girly ang kamay sakin. That smile on her face was so priceless. How can i resist?

"Friends!" Hindi ko mapigilang ngumiti. I have the feeling, Girly and I can be best of friends.

Sabay na kaming pumasok ni Girly sa unang subject. Magkatabi rin kami ng upuan.

"Hi i'm Girly, you can call me GiGi! This is my friend, Margaux! "

Sinubukan kong awatin si Girly habang pinigilan ang sarili kong tumawa ng magpakilala sya sa katabi nyang babaeng mukhang wala namang paki-alam sa kanya. She seemed so serious. I'm not good at first impression but the girl don't look friendly.

"Hello? GiGi here! Pweding malaman ang name mo if ok lang naman?"

"Gi, wag mo nalang pilitin..." Bulong ko ky Girly dahil mukhang wala talaga syang balak tumigil sa pangungulit sa babae.

"Ayaw mo talaga? Ok, fine!" Girly finally gave up. Napakagat nalang ako sa labi, mentally hoping na hindi mapikon ang babae at huwag nalang syang pansinin.

I averted my attention around the room and notice na marami na pala kami. Unfortunately, wala akong nakitang familiar faces. I wonder where did my other classmates pursued their college.

Three subjects ended. I realized College and high school aren't that incomparable at all. Nasa canteen kami ni Girly at dahil sa friendliness nya, dumami kami sa table. Nakilala ko sina Marky, Kian, Liza, Venus at Adrian na halos magkakilala na.

"So, may boyfriend ka na ba Margaux?"

Muntik na akong mabulunan sa tanong ni Adrian. I look at him and realize he have this attractive looks. I wonder why i hadn't notice it sooner.

"Wala" Nakangiti kong sagot. I wonder how red my face now. Adrian smirks at his friends and for instant, i don't like him. He was this type of guy na kapag nalamang single ang babae ay magsasabi ng "tol sasagutin ako nito, pustahan pa tayo".  Alam na alam ko ang pinaplano ng mga ito.

Before he could ever say a word, tumayo ako at humanap ng dahilang maikaiwas. "Excuse me guys, mag c-cr lang"

"Ako, wala pa akong boyfriend!" Narinig ko namang sabi ni Girly habang papalayo na ako. I have no choice but smile like an idiot. Girly was  a straight-forward girl and i am her perfect opposite. Either ways, i like her.

"Margaux?"

I literally stumbled upon the door of the comfort room when i heard my name called. Lumingon ako.

"B-bakit?" Gulat at nagtataka kong tanong sa babaeng tumawag sa pangalan ko. She was no other than but that serious girl na kinukulit ni Girly kanina sa first subject namin. I don't know but i suddenly felt the eager to run away. But that would be so unnatural for a college student to act that way.

"K-kilala mo ako?" I tried to calm myself. Seryoso parin ang mukha nya. But behind those pale white face and straight long hair, she's pretty.

"Oo naman. Ipinakilala ka sa akin nung nagpakilalang Girly kanina, tama ba? I'm Darah"

Sa wakas nagsalita na sya kahit monotonous lang at least gumaan ng kaunti ang pakiramdam ko. Sya pala si Darah.

"Mag c-cr ka rin?" Tanong ko. Hindi ko alam kong bakit yun pa talaga ang pumasok sa utak ko.

"Hindi. Ikaw ang sadya ko"

Suddenly, i could almost heard my heartbeat sa sinabi niyang yun. Kinakabahan na ako...

"B-bakit?"

"Hindi mo ba alam kung-" Whatever Darah wanted to say was interrupted. I was cliff-hanged. I don't know what she was trying to say.

"Margaux! Oh, uhm sorry sa disturbo. You're Darah right?" Venus suddenly burst in and look at us with bafflement.

"I have to go" Darah look at me straight to the eyes before turning her back at us. I found myself breathing heavily like as if i've been holding them for too long.

'Kailangan kong malaman kung ano ba talaga ang gustong sabihin ni Darah'

"Ven, mauna na ako ha" Paalam ko ky Venus. Aalis na sana ako ng bigla nyang hinawakan ang braso ko.

"Kinakausap ka ni Darah?" Bulong ni Venus sa akin. She seemed guarded like as if someone was eavesdropping on us.

"I don't met her before but i've heard so much about that mysterious girl. My advice to you Margaux is just to stay away from her"

Sa sinabing yun ni Venus, mas lalo pa akong kinabahan. But there are part of me who want to satisfy this so much curiosities. Who knows? Baka isa sya sa makakatulong na masagot ang ibig sabihin ng kakaibang panaginip ko? I don't know  if im thinking the right way. But one way or another i have to talk to her.

(So i have updated this super mega slow story of mine! Baka makaka-update din ako sooner para sa next chapter! GBU! :D )
