THE OLD ME BACK

Chapter 22

ALESHA GOT NEW BF, AGAIN?!

I smirked after reading the title of the new blog posted on the bulletin. This anonymous writer must be really surprised. Whoever he is, he would be more surprised of my next trap.

Turning behind the bulletin, I caught some students whispering one another. They quickly stopped murmuring when they noticed I was already staring at them.

"Let's go, she has her own life anyway." A murmur I heard from anyone of them. They were many that I got really outnumbered.

"I can't believe she could do that. She's not my idol anymore."

Despite the words I heard coming from them, I smiled as if I didn't hear them. I should be used to be deaf now. They don't carry my pain, anyway. Acting like nothing is wrong, I played with them so I waved my hand on them and widely smiled.

I better walked out from here.

"Alesha!" A familiar voice called me from somewhere, so I was not able to continue stepping ahead. Upon hearing her voice, my day that tended to be brighten up got lost all of a sudden. But before I turned my head to her, I heard her shouts to some students who were still around looking at me. "You better evaporate or else I will bury you all alive!"

Quickly, they disappeared from this area and we're the only ones left here, Thea and her friends and me. I heaved a sigh because I don't know what their concern is. Right away, Thea trapped my way so I could not step ahead. Geez.

"What's up, Alesha? We're missing you so much."

I plainly smiled and looked away. "I've been doing great, much better fine."

I got to look at her when she tapped my shoulder, something important that she really needs to say.

"You must be really fine, Alesha. We adore you for being a guy-catcher now." They all got chuckled after. "Congrats, you're getting to be a bitch now like us. Stronger than before. A girl who got heartbreaks would really break boys' hearts at the end. I salute you, bitch!"

I gulped and sighed. She's probably right, why would I endure the pain when I can cause pain too?

"Hey beshy!"

All of us looked at the girl who was approaching us right now. When she was standing now in front of us, she suddenly lifted her eyebrow on them, most especially to Thea.

"I wonder where did you get the guts to get close to my best friend," she uttered, now on her crossed arms with poker face.

"We're classmates, no doubt we can talk with her. If you're really her best friend, why can't we see you often?" Thea laughed that made me intervene on this getting hotter conversation.

"Stop this," I uttered. "We have nothing to argue about. We can be all friends, right beshy?"

Leana's eyebrows got crossed each other all of a sudden. "Seriously? Be friend with these low-class? Are you kidding?"

"What's your problem with us huh?" Thea frankly asked, then she looked at me straight. "Did you hear that, Alesha? She's downgrading us. Is she really a good friend of yours?"

"Beshy, listen to me!" Leana demanded. I deeply sighed because I got confused with these two then. "Don't you ever join their company, ok? They won't do good to you, remember that."

Then my best friend walked out and I was left puzzled.

"Calling all the students, you are all requested to proceed to the quadrangle."

Right away, we looked one another before we thought to run. As we went ahead, we could see the quadrangle crowded by students who were standing and waiting for.

"Today is the celebration of the Foundation Day here in St. Jude! To start with, we are all requested to stand together for a prayer and followed by singing of the Philippine National Anthem."

Afterwards, we had to find seats when the emcee said to sit down. While we're walking towards the vacant chairs, the emcee spoke again.

"This day is the annual celebration that all teachers and students, and even administrators must celebrate! It's already 21 years since the St. Jude had built, and the school had gone so far from its facilities and school achievements! Three years have passed when we got to produce a boy group that became so famous not only here but also in town. Without further do, let's give it up to...The Boylight!"

Everyone stood quickly and gave around of applause. After a while, the seven boy members appeared right away on the stage. They danced at the same time they sang. The harmony of their voices accompanied by the rhythm and melody of the music, no wonder why most students fell in love with them. The claps and yells manifested how they really supported the famous boy group. They deserved it, anyway.

But as I looked at every member most especially Hanky and Tyler whom I broke their hearts, somehow I felt guilty inside of me. The bond between them got changed, and now even Kurt got involved. While they're singing and dancing together, I suddenly looked at the other member who danced more graciously than the others.

His name is Zack. And he's my next target.

"Wow! That was a very entertaining presentation! Congratulations, Boylight!"

The crowd gave a resounding of applause. While the Boylight was still on the spotlight, to their surprise, Kurt went downstairs from the middle of the stage area.

Wait, what would be he doing?

The audience's attention followed Kurt to where he would go until I realized he was getting near on me.

"OMG! He kissed Alesha?!"
