She's My Boyish Girl

Chapter 4

WHILE walking my way to the cafeteria, hindi ko mapigilang mapansin ang mga tinging ibinabato nila sa'kin. Though I just shrugged the uneasy feeling. Sikat na agad ako, not in a good way dahil sa nangyari kahapon.

Good thing my brother's influential dahil wala namang gumagalaw sa'kin. CA is nice, classy, elegant, yung tipong hindi ako. Most of the students here are elites. Anak ng politiko, artista, businessman at mga kilalang tao sa bansa.

No wonder, ang aarte nila. I'm still thankful na tumakas ako kanina sa bahay. Mom insisted that I should wear their damn uniform. The hell would I do that! The skirt is too short for my liking, at pakiramdam ko ang init init ng uniform nila.

So I wore a white printed shirt na may nakasulat "back off" with Mickey mouse design, and a baggy jeans. I think isa rin sa mga rason kung bakit pinagtitinginan ako ay dahil hindi ako naka uniform? I mean, halos lahat ng nakikita kong student, naka uniform.

Wala naman sa student's handbook na mandatory ang uniform, so why bother wearing? But my Mom bought 5 uniforms for me, and surely hindi ko na naman magagamit, she just wasted her money for nothing.

When I reached the counter, I'm amazed once again, parang nasa isang mamahaling fast food chain lang ako, the interior is in a mix of royal blue and gold, matching our uniforms. Naka uniporme rin ang mga server and cashiers. Awesome!

"Hi! Can I have your order?" Nakangiting tanong sa'kin ng babaeng cashier.

"I want that one, the strawberry cheesecake, and I'll have strawberry milk as my drink."

May pinindot-pindot siya sa screen nung ginagamit nila for taking orders at kita ko naman sa isang maliit na screen na connected sa monitor ang babayaran ko.

"I'll repeat your order, one strawberry cheesecake and one strawberry milk. 250 pesos, in total." Tumango ako and got my 500 peso bill and also hot my change.

This is the difference of CA and NSLI, Cantrell Academy is basically the counterpart of National Silvestre's Learning Institute. Some compares the two, kung sino ang mas better but for me I prefer my former school.

Bukod sa hindi masyadong mahal ang canteen, I have a lot of friends there too. Hindi kagaya rito, kung hindi lang dahil sa apelyido ko baka may nag-aabang na sa'kin sa gate.

I silently got my order at umupo malapit lang din sa counter since yun ang pinakamalapit na bakante. And I divulged myself on yhe glorious taste of strawberry.

"Hi! We meet again!" Unti-unting napaangat ako ng ulo mula sa aking pagkain nang may magsalita. Kapansin-pansin ang hikaw niyang itim na cross and his tan skin is making him look more manlier.

Kung hindi ko lang kilala ang lamang lupang to, I would probably be amazed with his moreno looks.

"What are you doing here, Arkin?" I asked with a tone na ayaw kong makita siya rito.

"Can't we enter the cafeteria the I technically own?" A sarcastic voice answered instead behind my back. The black orbed guy, the bored looking bastard who really caught my attention surprisingly.

Hindi ako nakaupo sa isang four seater kaya kumuha sila ng kani-kanilang upuan just to share the table with me. Andito na naman silang tatlo, and they're up to no good.

"Woah!!! Strawberry na naman?! Hindi kaba nauumay?" Inabot ni Kaemoon ang cheesecake ko but before he can even lay his finger on it hinampas ko na ito.

"Don't mess with me nor my food!" Saway ko sa kanila.  Nuriel Oxford who's beside me stretched his arms and laid it on the backrest of my chair. I can really feel now the blazing stares of mostly everyone. Napayuko ako.

I'm not shy or afraid. Galit ako, and I'm trying to suppress it, ayokong mapatawag na naman sina Mom and Dad just because I can't control myself. Tama na yung kahapon, ayaw ko nang dagdagan pa yun.

"I-i'm going," nanginginig kong ani and got my bag. I'm supposed to walk away, when a strong firm hands held my right wrist, stopping me from walking.

"Isn't it rude to turn your back on us?" Iwinaksi ko ang kamay ko mula sa pagkakahawak niya and walked away.

But something really hard hit the back of my head making me stop in my tracks. Nanginginig na ang kamao kong nakakuyom and I can feel my blood reaching my head.

"Oopsies! Sorry bhie! Nautusan lang!" Sigaw ng isang baklang nasa likod ko. My fist even balled tighter, and I can feel my nails almost piercing my skin.

Dahan dahan akong humarap sa kanila. The gay who threw the bottle of water in my head is just sitting right beside Arkin. He's wearing this annoying smirk that I want to slice his lips out of his face.

"You're really messing with the wrong person," I said. If my eyes are real bullets, they would be lying dead by now. Then Nuriel Oxford, smirked. Looks like he's enjoying this.

If you'll start a game like this? Then I'll play all along. Kinuha ko ang plato ng isa sa mga kumakain dito. It's filled with carbonara na hindi pa niya masyadong babawasan. Her eyes became wide but I don't care anymore.

Mabibigat na ang mga hakbang ko habang papalapit sa gawi ni Oxford. My lips are pressed thinly while I can feel my eyes glare in rage. "Damn you." Binuhos ko sa ulo ni Nuriel Oxford Cantrell ang dala dala kong carbonara.

"I don't care whoever you are, or who's son are you. I don't also give a damn if you're famous here or you're connected with Daichi. Pwede ba? Man up? Don't act likr you're some kind of lowlife idiots."

Natahimik ang lahat and chose to put their nose on our business than finishing their food. "What are you looking at? Ngayon lang kayo nakakita ng taong galit?" Sigaw ko sa kanila and even kicked the nearby chair.

I stormed out of the canteen. Hindi mawalawala ang kunot ng noo ko, and the heat that I'm feeling becomes of anger didn't fade away.
