The Tragic

I woke up late. At nakakainis dahil ang dahilan lang naman ay si Benjamin Jimenez— goodness! He's been disturbing the hell out of me! Paano? He's been invading me in my dreams. Tingin mo? Makakatulog ako? Hell no!

Ginulo ko ang buhok ko at agad na pumasok sa CR. I guess I need to go to school with these puffy eyes because of not sleeping.

Napailing nalang ako at agad na naligo. Its 8, and my class will start at 8:30. I'll surely be hella late. Maybe, lets say, for 20 minutes or less. Mabuti nalang at iilang streets lang ang dadaanan ko papunta sa Freniere's, or else, I'll be dead.

Pagkalabas ko nang unit ko ay hindi na ako nag abalang tumingin sa paligid. I hurriedly went down at sumakay sa sasakyan ko. Audi R8 and I let the roof of the car open. Good weather, hmm.

My teeth clenched and I started the engine.

Holy shit. Anong ginawa ko kagabi? What did I do? I kissed Benj? I told him I want him? I told him he's only mine? Shit! Pano si Troy? Did he called? C'mon! Spank the hell out of me and let me wake up!

I picked up my phone and view the call logs, 2 days ago pa 'yong last call nya. I sighed, what if Benj answered it, diba?

Hindi naman ako lasing noon, but I'm drunken by his presence. Hindi ko alam kong anong ginagawa ko. I am damn smitten, what I'm sure about is I told him that I like him, okay, and I kissed him, lets just add that I slap Carren's face, 'yong isa sa mga biatch sa Freniere.

Damn it. Mag da-dalawang araw lang na nawala ang presensya ni Troy, nababaliw na ako sa presensya nang pinsan nya. Would my life gets any better?

I got out from the car and hurriedly went to my room.. Ni hindi ko nga napansin na hindi pa pala nasuklay nang maayos ang buhok ko.

I run my fingers through the strands of my hair as I entered our room.   “I-I'm sorry Ma'am, I'm late.” I immediately apologized.

“Miss Jimenez,” she pauses. Agad akong nag-angat nang tingin.   “What is happening to you? Hindi mo ba alam na ang dami mo nang pinag bago? Noon, you rarely get the grade of 2.5 tapos ngayon, mukhang makakakuha ka pa nang 3 because of the disturbance that is inside your head! Doesn't mean that you've become a Jimenez ay magpapabaya ka na!” she scolded me. Agad akong yumuko at ngumiwi.

Yeah. Mukhang makakakuha ako nang 3 ngayon because of the disturbance inside my head as my teacher says. I sighed,

“I'm really sorry Ma'am. It won't happen again.” I made my voice bolder. She tsk-ed at tinalikuran na nya ako. I took a deep breath as I walk towards my chair.

I again run my fingers through my hair as I sit. Naihilamos ko ang palad ko sa mukha ko, I exasperatedly sighed.

“Ma'am, pwede po ba naming i-excuse si Sophia Jimenez? Emergency po para sa School Paper,” nag angat pa ako nang tingin dahil doon. Goodness,

Tumingin si Mrs. Ramirez sakin at saka tumango then she rolled her eyes at me. I gulped as I stand.

“E-Excuse me Ma'am..” I excused my self at agad na lumabas.

“Thanks Sheyn,” napayakap pa ako sa ka-club ko dahil sa pagiging knight in shinning armor nya. She giggled,

“Coffee?” she offered. Tumango ako at agad kaming dumiretso sa Canteen.

“Anong problema sa School Paper?” I hurriedly asked.

“I know you,”

Oh ,the dilemma.

You know, Sheyn ,is one of Bea's friend, and my friend also. She have this Sheyn-Madrigal-Inquisitions. Tsk!

“Come on Sheyn. Nakakafrustrate na nga ang nangyayari, please don't make it harder for me,”

“What?” she giggled. I rolled my eyes,     “You know those eyes are really puffy,” she pointed out with a smirk.

“Lack of sleep, Sheyn.” I snap.

“Oh,”

“Yes.”

“Okay then, you shall finish your coffee instead. Tapos punta tayong Club,” she winked at me. I sighed, I don't wanna leave my class lalo nat my teacher threatened me, but— I just need some refreshments, minsan lang naman.

Pagkatapos naming uminom nang kape sa Canteen ay dumiretso na kami sa Club, but I felt the unfamiliar feeling on my stomach. Ugh, why now?

“Sheyn, I'll follow. I just need to take the CR.” at agad na akong umalis. I just saw her shrugged.

I hurriedly locked the CR's door at agad na pumasok sa isang cubicle. Ugh! The coffee!

Nang matapos na akong tawagin nang kalikasan ay agad na akong lumabas, but my eyes widened when I saw the unfamiliar scenario at my front. Napalunok agad ako.

T-Troy.

Agad na natigil ang ginagawa nila at sabay na napatingin sa gawi ko. It was Carren, and my boyfriend, Troy, kissing each other.

Troy freeze while Carren just smirked.

“B-Babe,” he said. I gulped, hard.

Hindi ako makahanap nang salita na pwedeng sabihin. What the heck is exactly happening?

Hahawakan na sana ako ni Troy para daluhan but I hurriedly push him away, I can see his shock eyes. My breathing became uneven.

“Let me explain, Sophia.” he uttered. Uminit ang mga mata ko kasabay nang pag-guho nang mundo ko.

“No need..” I wipe my tears away.  “I don't need your explanation, I saw everything,” I snapped at agad na tumakbo palayo doon. I heard him calling my name pero binalewala ko nalang sya,

All I wanna do is run,

But then again, I saw a scenario, a familiar one ,this time. Familiar, but it badly hurts.

Bakit sabay-sabay?

“I HATE YOU!” I screamed between their kissing session at agad silang tumigil. Benj looked at me wide-eyed,

“P-Phia,” he murmurs.

“I hate you all!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.

“B-Bakit ka umiiyak?” he asked at agad akong hinawakan sa braso, this time, I didn't have the enough strength to push him away, or I just really like his touch.

“Pare-pareho kayong lahat. Your all bastards!” I screamed but he just hugged me.

“Hush baby,” he whispers at mas lalo akong naiyak. Damn him! Damn every Monteverde!
