Dear Diary

Chapter 2: Bruises

This is so wrong!

Wala akong nagawa kundi bumusangot na lang papasok sa classroom dahil tumakbo na agad yung walang hiyang lalaki na 'yon.

I swear to God, kapag nagkita ulit kami non, makakatikim talaga siya sa akin.

"Freak, bitch. Ang aga mong badtrip ha?" Trisha, then she kissed my cheek as I entered the room. "Chill out. Good morning."

Umupo ako at sumagot, "There's no good in the morning. My day has already ruined." I rolled my eyes. I am so angry, seriously. Sobrang mali yung ginawa nung lalaki na 'yon. Hindi ko 'yon palalampasin.

"What's up? What happened?" She interrogate while doing her everyday make up and checking her face at the small compact mirror she's holding.

"Dad." She knew about that. Of course, she is my bestfriend. She remained silence-- waiting for me to speak more. But I opened another reason why I'm mad already in this morning. "And a random witch in the hallway I've passed by was a totally d ick." I sighed desperately. Hoping that my anger would lessen.

"What? Random witch?" Nagtatakang tanong niya.

I nodded. "Yup. Stole my first kiss." I said in a low tone voice.

Lalo siyang nagtaka. "Ha? First kiss? Hindi ba si Ashier nung--"

Trisha was interrupted by our teacher. "Good morning, class. So now that the finals is done and I know that you, guys, are all exhausted." Mam Cayetana smiled. The considerate teacher ever we had. "Check your iPod. No lessons for today. Activity only."

She stays in our room while the whole class doing their actvity and having some chitchats.

I speak out after I found the pearl was looking for in the activity. "When we were at Katie's house, Ashier and I didn't kiss. Paulit-ulit ko bang sasabihin sa 'yo?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I just don't believe you. The whole squad knows it too. Who wouldn't think na hindi kayo nagkiss? Ano kayo, mga bata?" She raised her eyebrows, too.

Okay. I think this is an arguement with her again.

Last summer, the whole squad had an overnight at Katie's house. Of course, we drunk a lot until I got emotional about my family problem. Ashier and I talked about it privately. Humiwalay kami noon at sa veranda nag-usap. Trish's passed out already that night because of the alcohol drink. So therefore, Ashier got my back. We are bestfriends too. That's why I wouldn't let that one night will ruin our friendship.

"Also, the picture says it all. Kitang-kita na magkayakap kayo at magkadikit ang mukha." Trisha added.

Yeah, true about the pic but not about the kiss. Ken took us a picture that you'd really think Ashier and I were kissing because of the angle. But heck no!

"Believe me or not, we didn't." I finished the arguement. Maniwala siya or hindi, bahala siya diyan. I don't wanna waste my energy to prove it then they won't gonna believe.

"Okay, tho. So I conclude, you two really kissed." She stuck out her tongue at me like a child. "Don't deny. And you know why nobody's gonna believe you? Because we all know that you like Ashier." Look at this bitch!

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Shut up. Dont even go there."

Si dad.

Yung freak guy na nagkiss sa 'kin.

Tapos itong issue na naman na 'to.

Sirang-sira na umaga ko. Sana naman mabawi mamayang hapon.

She laughed. "See? It's true." Ngumiti siya na akala mo nanalo sa lotto. Ganiyan 'yan. Napakaisip bata at ayaw nagpapatalo sa away namin. "And you know what, bes, it's fine. Kayo naman talaga ni Ashier ang meant sa isa't-isa." She then hugged me.
