She is Psychometric (COMPLETED)

Alira's POV

Friday...

I was looking intently in their eyes. Nakapamewang ako at nakataas ang kilay. In short, pinapagalitan ko sila.

I've been in the hospital since wednesday. I just got home yesterday and this two made a mess in the Principal's office. I heard they just made the Office a big mess, literally mess. I mean, they throw everything away kaya nagkalat at nagka basag basag don.

And now that I just got here. Mismong si Sir Tan na head ng P.E department ang lumapit para sabihin ang ginawa ng dalawang to.

Iryll keep on looking at the floor while Justine is avoiding my gaze.

"What's with you guys? Can you please explain to me what is your reason for doing that in the Principal's office?" Iryll bite his lip and looked at Justine.

"Justine?" He looked at me for a moment and immediately avoid my eyes.

"What was that? Are you guilty?" I lean closer as I watch him being so uncomfortable.

I smile. They didn't make any excuses and that means they know that this is their fault.

"Who will buy me chocolates?" Nakita ko ang pagtaas ng kamay ni Iryll while Justine is now looking at me.

"Okay, Iryll will buy chocolates and Justine will buy me dutch mill." Hinawakan ko silang dalawa sa braso at naglakad papunta ng canteen.

I don't care what was their reason, as long as they know what they did was wrong. And that's enough for me to trust the both of them.

I smile as I feel the two of them become comfortable again. This is why I can't really get mad at them kahit noong nakaraan. They threaten Vincent. At naipa cancel ang pag transfer niya dito. Of course with the help of Justine who's the major sponsor of the school. Iryll and Justine just visited Iryll's father and tell him not to accept Vince and of course being the only son, Iryll's father just give a quick yes and done.

Umupo kami sa pwesto namin which is sa dulo at katabi ng bintana.

I saw Iryll and Justine buy my snacks. Right, parusa nila yan.

"I was wondering why the Cafeteria is smelly. I think I saw some garbage left." Napalingon ako dahil sa nagsalita.

"Erica." Tinaasan niya lang ako ng kilay. Samantha and the other girl is with her. Again.

"Makapal din ang mukha mo ano? How dare you ordered them to get your snacks?" Nakarinig ako ng bulungan dahil sa sinabi niya.

I didn't order them. It's their punishment evil witch.

I really want to tell that to her, but if I did baka sapakin niya ako on the spot.

"You smell like a rotten bitch, bitch. Hindi ka dapat nagmamagaling because in the first place transferee ka lang." Samantha said. Yeah. I know she's mad at me for being with Iryll, but what can I do? Kaibigan ko siya.

"Hindi ako nagmamagaling." I tried to defend myself but they just laugh.

"You are. Ginagamit mo lang silang dalawa. Why? Because they have everything a commoner like you need. The face, the money, the popularity and the head. They are full package. Wala kang kwentang kaibigan if you think you're their friend. Sinong kaibigan ang maguutos na bilihan ng pagkain? You're not looking for a friend you're looking for a slave when in fact you look like one! You should be the one to get them food dahil wala ka lang dito sa school but them? They're on the most popular face in school as well as they are the most rich kids in here., and you? What about you?" She look at me from head to toe.

"You just survived in an accident." I looked at her.

Nakarinig ako ng muling pagbubulungan.

"Why? That's easy to know. That accident is popular in our city. That's the biggest fire that happened here." Tama ako. Ang nangyari 10 years ago ang sinasabi niya.

"But, I heard a nice story about a girl who leave her family just to be safe." She smirk. I know she's talking about me jumping with Kuya Ishie and left my mom and dad. But that's not what happen. I didn't leave them.

I stood up. I need to clear this up.

"I didn't leave them! I just have no choice I was turning 8 that time, in short I was too young." I said firmly.

They just laugh at me. Right. No one would believe if ever I tell them what happen from when the fire broke down the 3rd floor up to the twelve floor where we live.

"I just couldn't think to leave my parents their. I should've died with them." Nagpantig ang tenga ko sa sinabi niya.

"You don't know anything!" I'm so mad! How could she said that!

Napaupo ako nang itulak niya ako.

"Don't shout. I'm not deaf." Ginantihan ko siya ng tulak dahilan na mapaatras siya.

"Stop, Li." I froze when I recognize that voice. Justine.

Nagulat ako nang biglang matumba si Erica at mangiyak ngiyak pa.

"Stop it." I looked at Justine's furious eyes looking at me.

Same with Iryll who's standing beside him. Are they mad?

"Stop it Erica." Sabi ni Iryll.

"This is not funny." Ramdam ko ang pagiba ng tono ng boses ni Iryll. Mukhang galit siya.

Iryll grab my hand.

"She attacked me first!" Narinig kong sabi ni Erica kay Justine.

"She won't do that." Sagot ni Justine. Napatingin ako sa kanya. Hindi sila galit?

"She just did!"

"It's because you keep on messing with her. Isn't it good that she know how to defend herself now?" Tumaas ang kilay ni Iryll at napatingin sakin. Why?

"Try to mess with us. We are very much willing to defend ourselves to you." Justine smirk bago tumalikod at niyaya na kami sa room.

I am walking with my head down. Nasa unahan sila Iryll at Justine while nasa likod ako at nakayuko nga. I'm biting my lip hard. I don't care if it bleed. I just... Ugh! Bakit ko ba kasi pinatulan yun?!

I was taken aback when I bump into a hard thing. No, I mean. A hard chest.

"Quit biting your lips Li." Napatunghay ako dahil sa pagsasalita ni Justine.

Tumigil sila at humarap sakin kaya nauntog ako sa chest ni Justine.

"I-I'm sorry.."

"What for?" Tanong ni Iryll na ngumunguya ng chocolate. San niya nakuha yun?!

"Uhm. Yung kanina ano.. Sorry. Kasi hindi ko naman intensyon na mangyari yun." I don't know what to say...

"But, we aren't mad you know." Napatingin ako kay Iryll. Di nga?

"Di nga?" Pakurap kurap na tanong ko. Tumango lang si Iryll samantalang tinaasan ako ni Justine ng kilay. Seryoso?!

"Eh ano yung Stop Li na yun?" Tanong ko kay Justine.

"I said. STOP. LI. Sabi ko stop tapos tinawag kita. I didn't mean you to stop, I want the situation to stop." Nagliwanag ang mukha ko . Yun pala yun.

"Hala. Mukhang may sapi nanaman siya." Humanda ng tumakbo si Iryll pero inakbayan ko na silang dalawa. I was smiling widely. Really, really wide.

Halos magkasing tangkad lang silang dalawa kaya nakayuko sila.

The other students are watching us but I don't care. I really am so lucky to have them...
