Julie's POV
I ran as fast as I could papunta sa bridge. Hindi ko na pinansin ang malagkit na pakiramdam galing sa juice na mantsa sa blouse ko . At ang pagtigas ng buhok ko dahil sa buhos ng flour.
At hindi na din ako nagtaka kung bakit hindi tumutulo ang aking luha kahit ramdam na ramdam ko ang paghapdi ng aking mga tuhod dala sa sugat na nakuha ko kanina. Pagdating ko sa bridge ay humawak ako agad sa railings nito at napaupo.
I was heavily catching my breath. How did it come to this?
flashback
I opened the door to our room. Walang oras ay napalingon ang aking mga kaklase. Their mischievous smiles greeted me. Pinagmasdan nila akong umupo sa upuan ko at alam kong may binabalak nanaman sila saakin. Sanay naman na ako sa bugbog,pagpaprank at pangaasar nila saakin. I learned to live by it each day. Pagupo ko naramdaman ko ang paghawak ng babae sa likod ko ang aking buhok.
"wow shiny hair. Kukulayan natin yan mamaya ha?" sabi nito na ikatawa ng lahat
no. not my hair.
"Parang ang gara naman ng uniform niya ngayon. So neat" Sabat nung isa
No. Not my uniform again. Pang ilang beses ko ng bumili ng uniform dahil minamantsahan nila ito lagi. Hindi pa matanggal.
"oo nga-" hindi natuloy yung sasabihin ng isa kong kaklase dahil pumasok ang aming guro. The evil smiles that they had before turned into innocent ones
"Good morning sir!" Everyone happily greeted
"Class you look beautiful today!" naganahan agad yung prof namin dahil gantong bati agad ang babatiin niya kada umaga
pero napatingin siya sa direksyon ko
"Julie, anong nangyari sa buhok mo?" takang tanong nito sakin
I just stared at him. Lumingon yung mga kaklase ko
"Hala, nakalimutan mo nanaman sigurong magsuklay no? haha oo eto suklay ko" ngiti nito sakin
plastic
"Trisha, you're always there to help Julie that's good. Julie tanggapin mo na" Saad nung guro
Tinanggap ko ito
"oh haha sayo na yan ah? marami pa naman ako eh" She smiled so sweetly I almost puked
sinuklay ko na ang buhok ko. Kung hindi ito ginalaw ng kaklase ko kanina edi sana hindi nasira
Pinagpatuloy na ng guro namin ang leksyon. Gaya ng nakasayan, active sila. With smiles and everything
When the class was dismissed all of them stood up and looked at me. Back with those evil smiles again.
"Ew Trish you already gave her your comb twice!" usal nung isang palaka
"alangan naman ibalik niya sakin? it's ew kaya baka kung anong mahawa ko sakanya" Trish rolled her eyes
"hoy sa susunod umayos ka. Ngumiti ka kapag nandyan ang guro! baka kung anong isipin non!" My guy classmate demanded
"Hindi yan tao. Hindi naman ngumingiti yan eh"
"Kaya siguro iniwan ng magulang. Natakot sakanya" They all laughed at his remark
Mom. Dad?
Dad always comes home drunk. But mom loved him so much. Hindi naman talaga ako tinuring na anak.
I was almost molested by my father. He made me do things that a five year old isn't supposed to do. I was almost raped. Kada gabi, kapag ako ay natutulog eh hinihipo niya ang aking katawan. I'd always smell the mixture of alcohol and smoke from him.
