"Para po."
Dali-dali akong sumakay ng tricycle. Uuwi na ako. Tutal, hindi rin naman ako makakapagfocus sa mga lessons. Ayoko rin naman na maabutan pa ako ng Rex na 'yon.
Iniwan ko silang dalawa roon. Ayoko silang makita. Naiinis ako. Okay fine! I'm getting jealous! The way she talks to him para talagang may something sa kanila.
Ayoko ngang maging kabet.
It almost 1.00 PM. Nag-text sa akin si Anastasia. She was asking why I'm not going to attend the class this afternoon. Sinabi kong masama ang pakiramdam ko. I exhale that I convinced her.
The next morning goes unsual. Hindi ko pinapansin si Rex and yes, he's just doing the same. Naiinis ako sa hindi ko malamang dahilan. Sinabi sa akin nina Anastasia na hinahanap daw ako nito kahapon and they told him my reason. I'm sick. Kaya umuwi ako.
May magaganap na event sa school. Pinaghahanda ang lahat para roon. Nasa canteen kami ng mga kaibigan ko, pinag-uusapan namin ang event na iyon nang biglang dumating si Zabrina. She's not used to be here. Nakita kong patungo siya sa table namin kaya't kumunot ang noo ko.
When she reached us, she bent slightly and whispers something to me. Hindi naman ako nakakibo pagkatapos niyon. Humalakhak pa siya bago umalis. Agad naman akong dinaluhan ng mga kaibigan ko.
"Since when you get close?"
Nicole asked.
"Stop that stupid question, Nicole."
"Ana, I'm just curious. Bakit gano'n? Bakit siya lumapit kay Caz? What did she told you and made her laughed like a witch, though she was truly a witch?"
I'm still silent. I just don't know what the fuck to say. Parang sasabog ang dibdib ko sa sakit na dulot niyon.
So, they really are.
"Sino ba 'yong babaeng 'yon?" I faced them.
"Well, we almost forgot to tell you this. They owned this school. She's such an expert when it comes to flirting. It's like, boys for her are like her dress, everyday needs a change."
"Really? I don't think so. I should thought she's stick for only one person."
"Rex?" Sabay-sabay nilang tugon.
I looked at them quietly.
"Junior pa lang kami, hinahabol na niya si Rex." Dagdag ni Clarise.
"Well, she finally got him." Sabay-sabay silang na-jaw-dropped.
"Caz?"
Agad namang naputol ang usapan namin nang dumating si Rex. He's here standing infront of me. Hindi siya makatingin sa akin ng diretso.
What? Para saan iyan? Bakit hindi mo ako tignan, mata sa mata? My mind speak.
I just found myself raising an eyebrow.
"Let us talk."
"About what?"
"May event ang school next week. Mag-i-intermission tayo. Magme-meeting tayo." He explains.
Napairap ako. So, he has still guts to talk to me as if nothing hapenned?
Boys are really good at pretending.
I thought his different.
"Girls, I'll be back."
Mabilis akong naglalakad. Padabog at mabibigat. Nasa likuran ko lang siya nang bigla siyang nagsalita.
"Sorry kahapon."
"Stop using me as one of your girls!"
"Hindi. Hindi ko gusto si Zabrina. Kinausap ko lang siya kahapon para sana--"
"I don't need your explanation."
Pagpasok namin sa loob ng meeting room, sabay-sabay na napatingin ang lahat sa aming dalawa especially, Zabrina.
Noon ko lang din nakita ang ibang estudyanteng naroroon.
"Hindi pwede! Ako dapat!"
"Zabrina, your voice isn't match with Rex. You're going to have your solo intermission. Ayaw mo ba noon? Exposure. Like what you always want." Singit ng isang lalaki sa likod. Bahagya pa itong natawa.
Matalim siyang tinignan ni Zabrina. Pagkatapos, dumapo naman ang tingin niya sa akin. Parang gusto na niya akong patayin sa tingin pa lamang na iyon.
You want to play a game with me, Bruha? Hindi kita uurungan. I can play, too.
"So, let's make it final. Me and Rex will do the duet. Zabrina, will do the solo." I said, emphasizing the word solo.
I was heading towards Rex. If I can do flirting infront of other girls, why would I hesitate to do it again infront of her. It would be a good start of the game.
Halos mamatay sa inggit si Zabrina. Wala naman siyang magawa dahil siguradong mapapahiya siya kung dito siya gagawa ng gulo.
Nakapulupot ang isang braso ko sa bewang ni Rex. Nakadikit ako sa kaniya. Nakangiti ako ng bongga. Just making sure jealous would hit her.
