CELINE
“Omygosh” bulong ko sa sarili ko, Hindi dapat ako mag conclude agad, but I can’t help it.
Iniisip ko palang na nandito sya parang lalabas na ang puso ko. Im walking with too much anxious, panay ang palinga linga ko sa paligid. Some people will look at me with confusion.
“Ay palaka”
Agad kung tinarayan ang lalaking humablot ng kamay ko, his smiling so bright. Nakakasilaw, char.
“Too much handsome to be frog” he let go of my hands and touch his face as if it’s so precious. I faked a smile.
“Okay?”
“You left this” tiningnan ko ang basura na hawak nya. I raised a brow, confuse of what he said.
It was my plastic wrapper that I throw to the garbage bin a while ago. “What?” I asked in irritation, I don’t get him.
He just smile at me like he’s enjoying my reaction.
“Kahit outsider ka, hindi naming papalagpasin ang nalabag mong batas” his now talking like a politician or some kind of policemen, his weird.
I just stare at him, ignoring what he want to say.
“In other words, hindi mo tinapon ng maayos ang basura mo” pagpapaliwang nya sakin as if Im stupid.
“Excuse me lang ha? Tinapon ko yan sa trash bin. If I know ginawa mo lang yan dahilan para iapproach ako.” I scoffed.
Nagpapansin lang siguro sya sakin, gasgas na palusot nya. I really did throw that.
Did I?
He just laugh and scan me head to toe at tumango tango pa, I stop glaring at him when he shout someone behind my back. Tiningnan ko nalang ang mga kuko na parang mas interesado pa kung bigyan ng atensyon kaysa sa taong nasa harap ko. I waited the person he called, maybe a student council.
“Ian, lumalabag sa ginawa mong batas”
Agad kung inaangat ang mukha ko at tiningnan ang nasa harapan ko.
He is really Ian, my crush.
Napaiwas agad ako ng tingin ng magtama ang mga mata naman it was intense, or just for me.
“Bakit” his voice is very soothing, shet sarap sa ears.
Sasagot na sana yung lalaki kanina when I grabbed the plastic wrapper in his hand with so much force and throw to the nearest trash bin. Gulat yung mga mata nya tumingin sakin, while Ian just staring at me. I don’t know what in his mind.
“Happy?” tinalikuran ko agad sila dahil hiyang hiya na ako sa sarili ko.
This damn guy balak pa akong ipahiya kay Ian, padabog akong naglakad papalayo sa kanila. I walked as fast as I could, ng mapansin kung malayo na ako, I stop.
I guess turn off na agad tingin sakin si Ian, nasobrahan ata pagtataray ko and now I'm regretting. This is our first encounter for years at sa ganung sitwasyon pa hays.
I message Claire kahit alam kong hindi sya mag rereply gusto ko lang may labasan ng sama ng loob. Kainis kasi na lalaking yun!
To Claire:
Wala na finish na, turn off na sya huhu.
Even text I'm still childish, I hope he likes cute girl not matured one, olats na agad pag nagkataon.
I was staring at nowhere when someone grabbed my arms, again. Tiningnan ko agad ng masama ang humawak sakin, it was Claire.
Sumimangot agad ako.
"Sama ng mukha ah, my period?"hingal na tanong nya.
Kakarating lang pala nya. I notice that she's wearing a sweatpants now.
I just rolled my eyes and started walking to the same place where I was humiliated, wala na sila. Sumunod naman sya sakin.
"Dito nangyari yung sinasabi ko sayo, because of that dammed plastic wrapper" tinuro ko ang trash bin with so much anger.
Claire stare at it, clueless of what Im talking about, Im sure she seen my chat.
I'm pissed already "Yung chinat ko sayo, cause you're not replying to my text!" this time I'm throwing tantrums at her like a kid.
"Ah right, wait lang" kinapa nya sa bulsa ang phone nya, but she failed.
It took her 5 five minutes to realise it.
"Oh, fuck nawawala phone ko!" She panic and run afterwards, "I'll be back" sigaw nya sakin meters away.
Gusto kung ilabas ang sama ng loob ko sakanya but she left me, because of annoyance I kicked the trash bin and didn't realise that I use too much force.
It end up mess, what a lucky day it is. Naghanap ako ng janitor or any cleaning services, pero wala.
"Ano ba namang school toh ang yaman, walang janitor" I said to myself, dissapointed of the facilities.
Balak ko pa naman mag transfer dito, I just hoped na hindi lumipat si Ian.
I'm trying to fix the trash bin when someone called my attention, napalingon naman ako kaagad.
“Miss, follow me to my office”
Did she mean guidance office? I follow her from behind still nervous. I cursed myself.
Based on her clothes she seem have a high authority mas lalo akong kinabahan. Papasok na kami sa office nya. Principal pa ata nakakita sa ginawa ko, sumabog ng bongga ang kamalasan ko ngayung araw.
“You’re from? She asked, scanning me. Nakaupo na sya ngayun sa swivel chair nya.
"University of St. Therese" I said in a low tone, nakayuko ako ngayun at pinaglalaruan ang mga daliri. She looks intimidating dagdag mo pa na aabot toh sa school namin, I'm sure I will receive punishment because of my behavior.
"Ust huh, ask you know we are not tolerating that kind of behavior Miss? Asking for may surname.
"Mendez po" she gesture me to sit down.
"I guess kayo yung nag li-library tour, right? She continued. Tumango naman ako.
"I saw what happened earlier, I dont know why you did that but instead of telling to your school of what your actions are-" she stop talking when someone entered the office.
Tumingin naman ako sa lalaking kakapasok palang.
It was Ian, again.
Sa lahat ng araw na pwede mag krus ang mga landas namin, ito pa napili ni kupido, damn.
