Stars of the School

Chapter 47: Charles' Angel

Sophia's P.O.V.
"I just want to ask you something.", sabi ko kay Charles.

"Ano?", tanong niya.

"Don't you want to stop tutoring me na? I'm not a kid you know.", sabi ko.

"Yep. I've been waiting for too long for you to say that.", sagot niya. "Pero paano kung nalaman ni sir?", tanong niya.

"Paano naman niya malalaman?", nagtataka kong tanong.

"Sa grades mo duh.", pang-aasar niya sa'kin.

"Ah ganon. So sinasabi mo na di ko kaya mag-maintain ng mataas na grades?", naiinis kong tanong.

"Hindi ko naman sinabi yun ah.", nang-iinis niyang sagot.

"Kasi parang-"

"Pero parang ganun na nga.", sabat niya.

"Edi wow ulol.", sabi ko.

"Pero naappreciate ko na ayaw mo na akong guluhin sa buhay ko.", nakangiti niyang sambit.

"Ikaw pa nga yata nanggugulo.", sabi ko.

"Siguro nga ako. Kase ako pumupunta sa bahay niyo, o kaya naman ako yung humingi ng tulong kila Nico na lasingin ka. So, ako nga yung nanggugulo.", he said sarcastically.

"Bitch please. Ikaw nga nakakadiri ka. You just kissed me, you pervert.", sabi ko.

"Anong kiss?", sabi ng isang tinig sa likod ko. Medyo kinabahan ako dahil naisip ko na baka si Maria 'tong nasa likod ko.

"Tangina mo Ethan.", sabi ni Charles.

"Kayo ha. Ano 'yan ha.", pang-aasar ni Ethan.

"Nga pala Ethan, nasabi mo na ba sa taas yung nahanap natin?", tanong ni Charles.

"Wait lang.", sabi ni Ethan. Tumingin siya sa kisame at nagsalita, "May nakita po kaming-"

"Gago. What I mean is, sa President.", sabat niya. Ano kaya 'tong pinag-uusapan nila? Hmmm....

"Can I know what the heck are you guys talking about? It seems important.", nagtataka kong tanong.

"Usapang lalake, di ka kasali. If you'll just excuse us for a minute...", sabi niya sabay tayo sa kinauupuan at umalis silang dalawa.

Haynako, ano bang meron dun? Para namang napaka-importante. Kasali lang naman yung president ng school akala naman nila. Maybe I'll just go and find my bitches.

"C'mon bitches it's boring in here.", sabi ko kina Emily at Angelie.

"Sakto, nauuhaw ako. Bili tayong tubig.", sabi ni Angelie.

"Lez go.", at lumabas na kami ng room.

Naglalakad kami papunta sa canteen nang may natanong sa'kin si Emily, "So, crush mo talaga si Charles?".

"Ummm....slight lang. I can't stress how slight it is. I mean, hinahangaan ko lang kase matalino yung tao.", pagpapaliwanag ko.

Omg, what's with me? Bakit kailangan kong maging sobrang specific?

"Okay gurl chill. Naintindihan ko na.", sabi ni Emily. "You're like, panicking.", dagdag pa niya.

"Whatever.", sabi ko. "Basta ang panicking, yun yUng LuMiLIpaD Pag GaBI Na.", biro ko.

"Oh HA! HA! so katawa.", Emily said in a sarcastic tone.

"Of course.", sabi ko while eyeing her.

So we reached the canteen na and Angelie bought her drink. Then of course, we decided to go to the nearest CR to fix ourselves.

"Ay wait lang nakalimutan ko yung handkerchief ko.", pabebeng sabi ni Angelie. Seriously, pati siya nagpapabebe na rin?

"Ihhh I'm too lazy to walk na. Hintayin ko nalang kayo dito noh?", sabi ko to them.

"Ok lazy bitch. Wait for us ha.", Emily said, putting a stress on the 'bitch'.

I am gonna enter the CR but then I heard people inside it. And mahiyaing dalagang pilipina ako so I waited for them to leave.

"Oh please, di naman totoo. It's fake feelings. Magaling lang ako umarte.", sabi ng isang girl. "And besides, ginagawa ko 'to for our section.", dagdag niya pa.

I was so intrigued and nakinig pa ako ng mabuti.

"Matalino naman siya at gwapo ah. Bakit ayaw mo siya? Para ngang ideal siya eh.", tanong ng isang girl.

"Well, I just don't like him. Siguro kase mabait siya? I don't know. Naiirita lang talaga ako sa kaniya.", sagot ng babae.

"Kawawa naman siya.", sabi ng isang babae habang tumatawa.

"I know right?", sabi pa nung isang girl while laughing rin.

Oh my....how devious of this girl. Buti I'm a good girl.
Naramdaman kong papalabas na sila and I am nagpatay-malisya at kinuha ang cellphone ko. When they're outside na, tinignan ko ang babae and I was shocked.

"Oh my...", I whispered to myself.

That girl is Maria!Well...dalawa sila at hindi ko naman talaga alam kung sino yung manlolokong girl eh. But, there's one way to know. Napakastupid ko for doing this...but this is for Charles...if ever.

"Maria!", I called to her. Lumingon siya while smiling at me. The devil's smile?

"Hi Sophia!", sabi niya while waving at me. She looked at her alipores meanly at lumapit sa'kin. "Kanina ka pa ba diyan?", she asked with ngiti.

"No, uhhh...I was actually-"

"We're back bitch! Ano nainip ka na kakahintay noh?", Emily exclaimed happily while cutting my sentence.

"Wait, hinihintay niya kayo dito?", tanong ni Maria kina Emily at Angelie.

"Oo.", sagot ni Emily.

"Pero! Umalis din ako at bumalik ulit dito. May kinuha lang ako sa room.", palusot ko.

"Oh...okie. Bye!", she said with a smile and left us na.

This is a bad news pero the mean girl and Maria are just iisa lang. Their voices are nagtutugma. And judging by her acts kanina, well, you could say na siya talaga 'yon. The looks, the smiles and the expression, she's so halatang plastik and magaling umarte.

"Ang lalim yata ng iniisip mo.", Angelie said to me na mukhang nagtataka.

"I just...may nalaman lang ako.", sabi ko.

"Really? What is it?", Emily asked.

"Well...you know that Maria girl? It turns out that she's a real bitch and that niloloko niya lang si Charles.", sabi ko.

"Are you sure?", tanong ni Angelie.

"Of course I am. I heard it sa dalawang tenga ko.", sabi ko.

"Sana walang kinalaman 'to sa love.", Emily teased.

"Bitch please. I'm not deads na deads kay Charles. Who cares if he's so handsome and smart and kind and...", and I was napatingin sa kanilang dalawa.

"So I guess you're not 'deads na deads' kay Charles huh?", Emily said.

"Hmph! I'm not!", I said with an irritated tone. "Kung gusto niya sa kaniya nalang si Charles noh. Saksak niya sa throat niya."

Damn, wala pa yatang maniniwala sa'kin. I don't care. I'm not Charles. Di naman ako masasaktan pag lumabas na yung totoong kulay nung Maria girl na 'yon. Wait, di ba sabi niya kanina ginagawa niya 'yon for their section? Hindi kaya...Oh no!

She's not only gonna betray and fuck up Charles, she's also trying to get her 'eye' on our section by using Charles! Magtatatanong-tanong siya ng kung ano-ano tungkol sa section namin kay Charles! But, sino namang maniniwala sa'kin? I'll just....I'll try to warn people who I think na maniniwala sa'kin.

"Okay listen, wala talaga 'tong kinalaman sa love. You know that Maria is from Section A di ba?", tanong ko while my gurls nod in agreement. "She's trying to squeeze out information from Charles so their section can attack and harass us more effectively.", I explained, trying my best to convince them.

"You know, you have a point.", Angelie stated.

"Maybe she's like, a wolf in sheep's clothing. This is will be hard to explain for Charles.", sabi ni Emily with a dismayed look on her face.

"I know, I know. He's gotta see it for himself. It might be painful though.", I sighed.

"I knew it.", a voice stated.
Nagtinginan kame to each other in confusion and fear that someone might be eavesdropping on us. And we're so damn right.

"Narinig mo yung pinaguusapan namin kanina no?", Maria said while entering the CR.

"I-I didn't know na kayo pala 'yon and, I didn't listened to it. I heard it.", I explained.

"Doesn't matter kung sinasadya mo o hindi, napunta pa din 'yon sa memorya mo. But, nevertheless....I don't think paniniwalaan ka ni Charles. After all, I'm his beloved angel, the most perfect woman on his eyes. Hindi niya aakalaing lolokohin ko siya, or ginagamit ko lang siya para sa mga plano naming sirain ang section niyo.", Maria stated with a smirk on her face.

"That's smart. But you know what's not smart? Ang sabihin 'yon dito habang nirerecord ko.", sabi ni Angelie habang tinataas ang cellphone niya. Maria was so shocked.

"How dare you! Ibigay mo sa'kin 'yan!", she said while charging towards Angelie.

"Ano ba! Cellphone ko 'to eh!", Angelie said while struggling.

"Sabi ng akin na!", Maria stated habang inaagaw ang phone kay Angelie.

Naagaw niya ang phone and she quickly flung it through the window.

"Oh no my phone! Alam mo ba kung gaano kamahal 'yon?", galit na tanong ni Angelie.

"I don't know, siguro kasing cheap ng ugali mo?", Maria smirked.

"YOU BITCH!", sabi ni Emily then she quickly grabbed Maria's hair.

"Aray! Ano ba! Pakielamera ka!", Maria stated habang sinasabunot.

"Emily don't na. Wag na baka lumaki lang ang trouble.", I said while pulling her away from Maria.

"Mga leche kayo! Bitches will be bitches.", Maria stated as she storm off.

"Yeah and we're the toughest bitches.", Emily rebutted.

"Calm your tits, bitch. Di natin siya ka-level. We're the bourgeois and she's the barriotic girl from the probinsya who is so poor na hindi siya makabili ng shoes and class.", I stated, trying to calm her.
*sigh*"Okay. I'll let this one pass.", she stated.

"Bitches! My phone!", Angelie exclaimed.

"Let's go and kunin natin.", I said while rushing outside.

We tried to look for the phone. Fortunately, nahanap namin but...

"Hala! It is sira!", sabi ni Angelie.

"No way. There is no way na mangyayare 'to. I'll have my best cellphone repairman to handle that. We need the evidence.", sabi ko.

"We need to expose that haliparot.", Emily said.

"And I need my phone to be fixed.", Angelie stated.

"Oh yes and for that reason too.", sabi ko.

Maria's P.O.V.
Ngayon at nadispose ko na ang ebidensya, isa lang ang bagay na kailangan kong gawin.

"Charles!", salubong ko sa kaniya sabay yakap.

"Nandiyan ka na pala. Ano tara na?", tanong niya sa'kin.

"Tara!", sagot ko.

And now, there is no way na pagdududahan niya pa ako.
