My Tutor was my Bully

C-10

Tumunog na ang bell hudyat na start na ng klase.
Pumasok na ang professor namin sa first subject. After getting the attendance nag start na ang klase.

Busy ako sa pagsusulat ng may kumalabit sakin.

Bumungad sakin ang kaklase Kong babae na hindi ko alam ang pangalan

"I've heard you've made it to the dean's list again"

"Uhh.. Who are you? "

She look offended pero mas pinili nya ang ngumiti.

"Grabe ka naman. Ang tagal na natin magkaklase hindi mo pa din ako kilala, okay fine I'm Laila"

"Okay"- sabi kona lang.

"Can we be friends? "

"I'm not a friend material. Find another one"

"Ang sungit mo. Hindi kaba nabobored? , you don't have friends.. Puro kalang aral"

Tinigil ko ang pagsusulat ko at bumaling ako sa kanya.

"I love what I'm doing"

"I wanna be your friend"- pangungulit nya.
"Look I---"

"Please.. "

"No"

Natapos ang klase at hindi ako tinantanan nitong Laila na ito.

Hanggang sa magpunta ako ng cafeteria nakasunod padin sya.

"Come on talk to me. Don't worry I don't have hidden agenda to you. I just wanna be your friend. Para hindi kana nag iisa"

I stop chewing my food.

"Look I appreciate your effort to pester me but the answer is still no. Sanay akong mag isa, walang kaibigan so go away"- sabi ko at uminom.

"No man is an island Billie"

"I said I don't care"

She burst out laughing na pati ang iba ay napapatingin na.
Siguro iniisip nila why am I eating with someone. Samantalang all theses years I've been alone on this table.

"You're so cute when you're pissed. Don't worry kahit ayaw mo, I will still insist to be your friend"

Hindi nako umimik at kumain nalang ulit. Pero napatigil ako at napalingon sa pintuan ng cafeteria ng bigla nalang may nagbulungan. Some of the students move away to give the person a better way.

My jaw almost drop to see Jasmine walking towards me. Wearing her casual but very sophisticated in the eyes attire and an expensive bag on her hand, she strode on the cafeteria as if owning the place.

I heard boy's murmuring around us. May iba na gusto lumapit. May iba naman na pasimpleng kumukuha ng litrato.

I know she's pretty but Ava is way more beautiful ----

Nakagat ko ang labi ko sa mga iniisip ko. Bakit nadamay si Ava?

"Hi Billie"- jasmine said ng makalapit sya sa table namin ni Laila.

"What are you doing here? "- I asked.

"You don't have class later right?, I just wanna hang out with you for a while"- she said.

"You should have just call me"- I said pero tinawanan lang nya ako.

Dumako ang tingin nya kay Laila.

"You are? "

"I'm Laila.  I'm Billie's new friend"

Napasapo ako sa nuo ko. Great.
