*Ryllie*
Hinintay kong magsalita sya… pero wala manlang syang imik. Bumalik kami sa classroom ng sobrang tahimik. Buti nalang talaga wala pa yung adviser namin. Napatingin ako sa grupo nila thea… wala pa ring nagbago, pero napansin ko ring hindi nila ko tinitignan… tanging kay Isabel lang sila nakatingin.
They were exchanging devious laughs. Hindi maiwasang maawkward si Isabel. Wala ring ibang pumapansin sa amin… pati si Sam parang umiiwas na rin. Pinaupo ko si Isabel sa tabi ko. Nanginginig ung kamay nya. Agad nyang inilabas ung maliit na lalagyanan… sobrang liit na di ko gaanong Makita kung anong laman.
“Gamot ko to… para di ako mag hypertensive” tumango nalang ako at napatingin uli Kayla Thea… hanggang sa… tumayo nalang sya bigla at nagpunta sa table namin. Ibinagsak nya yung kamay nya at nakuha ang atensyon ng lahat.
But she was smiling, more like grinning.
“ I cant believe this… You have the guts to be with this girl… eh hindi ba’t sya yung dahilan kung bakit mo iniwas si Noah? Grabe ka Rylliee… Hands down… you’re so plastic, I cant believe it. The nerves.”
“What the hell is your problem with me? Nakuha mo na si Noah… isn’t that enough Thea?” her face was frozen… pati ako nagulat sa sinabi ko… I was so careless… nasa loob rin pala ng room si Noah… at ngayon kakaalis nya lang.
Sht.
“Let’s face it… it’s obvious Ryllie… noah’s still in love with you…” sabi ni Gekko, yung nerd naming kaklase… lahat napatingin sa kanya… at si thea, unti unti na syang tinutunaw ng lase beams nya
“Pero syempre joke lang yun… a-alam nyo na, ha-ha I’m just breaking the tension, you guys. You worry too much” ibinalik nya yung tingin nya dun sa binabasa nyang encyclopedia at bumalik na rin sa mga ginagawa nila yung iba. Pati si thea bumalik na sa grupo nya.
“di ka mag-sosorry kay Noah?” tanong ni Isabel.
“what for?”
“Sinaktan mo nanaman sya…” wow lang ha… so ako pa ngayon?
“It’s the truth dear… and the truth hurts so damned well… hindi lang puro rainbows… kadalasan puro masasma pa yung nangyayari… Ako kase, namulat na agad ako sa katotohanan… unlike you, you were raised like a perfect princess living in wonderland… pero ako, I was raised by just my mom… well pati si dad but it was partially… he chose the easier life with another girl…”
“hindi naman yan yung gusto kong iparating sayo… its just that minsan, kailangan mong magbaba ng pride para sa mga taong mahal mo.”
