The Runaway Princess

Chapter three

Warning: wrong grammar ahead.

We can't be friends

I took my phone from my pocket ang checked the recent text message after that i put it back inside of my pocket. It's almost time but Marga is not around. I looked around and everyone is busy with their own business. I checked my wrist watch, five minutes before time but she still not here. I tsked. Why do i even care? It's not my concern anymore.
Then memory of yesterday lingered in my mind. Why is she acting like that?

The door open and everyone got silence when marga and andrew entered together. Nakaakbay pa ang lalaki sa balikat ni marga. Nakaramdam ako ng inis sa nakikitang ko senaryo. Seem's Marga does'nt care about it, patuloy lang ito naglakad ng palapit sa akin at diretsong naupo sa tabi kong upuan ng hindi man lang tumitingin sa akin. She mad? I saw in my peripheral vision that andrew lean forward to marga and wispered something then marga blew heavy sigh and nooded.

Dumating ang profesor namin sa advance mathematics and started to discussed. I focused myself ang listened. I know it sound hard but i want to graduate with flying colours beside i'm on the top list kapag nawala ako sa ranking malaking kahihiyan sa akin iyon.

I look at marga, i wondering kung magiging kaagaw ko ba ito sa ranking. I checked her profile last night to find out na she graduated valedictorian since grade school. Pero wala naman sa itsura niya na kalabanin ako. Tsk! bakit ko ba naiisip iyon?

She moved a bit and her arms touch mine and i felt electricity with it. She pulled her arms as i did. Did she felt it too? What was it? Damn it i think i'm in trouble.

Breaktime and lunch came pero hindi parin ako pinapansin ni marga. We're waiting for our prof in last subject for today and i can't stop myself to asked marga, i faced her.

"Are you avoiding me?" i asked in low voice. She look at me with widen eyes. I think it a yes.

"I thought were friends?" she looked down and shakes her head.

"I'm sorry but i think we can't be friends" she wispered back. Nanigas ang bagang ko sagot niya. Did i really offended her sa mga tanong ko sa kanya para hindi na siya makikipagkaibigan sa akin. Kaibigan? Gusto ko ba talaga siya maging kaibigan but there is part of me na gusto ko ng mas higit pa doon. I hold her hands and cares them gulat siyang tumingin sa kamay namin.

"Why? i'm sorry if i scare you yesterday. Look i didn't mean it. I just want to know you" inalis niya ang pagkakahawak ko sa kamay niya.

"I don't trust easily" hinuli ko ang mga mata niya at tumitig doon.

"I can earn your trust" sounds desperate but i really want to be with her.

"Mapaphamak ka lang. You don't know me." Napamaang ako.

"No matter what. You can't stop me" sabi ko sa kanya. Pumikit ito ng mariin kasabay ng pagkuyom ng mga kamay nito.

"Bahala ka. At least i warned you". Last professor came and discussing about markerting. I need to focus on this one.

"Anyway before i proceed what is marketing? Anyone?" marga and i raised our hand then profesor choosed marga to answer.

"Yes Margareth?" She stood up.

"Ma'am, marketing refers to activities a company undertakes to promote the buying or selling of a product or service". Napatingin ako sa kanya.

"Marketing includes what?" Professor asked again.

"Marketing includes advertising, selling, and delivering products to consumers or other businesses. Ma'am." politely continue her answer. "And Some marketing is done by affiliates on behalf of a company." She added.
