Leave me this way

Chapter 1

He loves me, He loves me not, He loves me, He loves me not, He loves me, He loves me not, He loves me—

“—He loves me not” Saad ko, at nagpakawala ng mahabang buntong hininga. I knew it, Oliver doesn't like me. No matter how much effort I exert, makapagpapansin lang. Wala, laging dedma.

Hmmmm! Nakakainsulto talaga ang lalaki na 'yan, 'lagi niya akong pinapahiya sa mga kaibigan ko! He always make me feel useless, and just any ordinary girl. I mean, Come on! It's Astrid Cripps. Kilala na kilala ang pamilya ko sa iskwelahan na 'to.

Because my family brought legacy here, my kuya and ate. They used to be a great and, one of the most intelligent students here. My mom has a clinic here at school, she's a psychiatrist. However, she decided to be a Guidance Counselor. Ang daddy ko naman, meron siyang share sa eskwelahan na Ito. I don't know how much, but, atleast?

Sikat rin kaming magpi-pinsan rito, masasabi mo talagang kapag narinig na nila ang pangalan Namin, ay magtatago na sila. Joke, they'll just simply give way. They know who the real bosses are.

Pero grabe naman, totoo ba 'to? Oliver Guerrero kepts on neglecting my beautiful presence?

It was just last year, when I ask him what is his type, dahil Hindi niya Ako pansin. He told me petite girls attracts him most, so I tried so hard to possess such a body shape. 'Tapos nung na achieve ko na biglang nagbago 'yung taste?

“Hoy! Astrid, Fiesta? 'bat ang Dami mong kinakain?” Sabay-Sabay na umupo ang mga pinsan ko sa kinalulugaran ko. “Penge nga” Akmang dudukutin na ni Mirabel ang manok Sa Plato ko, ngunit pinalo ko ang kamay niya.

“Aray! Apakadamot Mo! Mabulunan ka Sana!” she cursed, I just rolled my eyes on her, and started bingeing. Kailangan ko mag gains, May bali-balita na narinig Ako from my blockmates. That Oliver wants thic girls right now.

Kailangan pasok Ako Sa qualifications niya! Para nasa akin pa rin ang huling halakhak. Akala mo sguro 'di Kita makukuha ah? Maghintay ka Lang, mas machallenge mas nakakagana

“Alam ko bakit kain siya ng kain” singit ni Miracle. She's the twin sister of Mirabel, they're identical twin, so they look just as the same. Nasa 2nd year college na rin sila Kagaya ko.

She gave me a meaningful look Bago ngumisi “Maybe she heard that Guerrero likes thick girls na!” Laglag ang panga ko at nabitawan ang kubyertos ko. Tinignan naman nila Ako, may halong pangungutya Sa kabilang mga mukha.

“I thinks it's best if you move on from Oliver, your too good for her cousin” komento ni Roswald, he took a small bite from his green apple, and started roaming his eyes inside the university cafeteria. Sinikuan siya ni Lioh at pasimpleng itinuro ang isang college student. F.A yata, sus mga babaero talaga.

“What the hell, I don't have any idea what you guys are talking about. I'm just simply having my lunch here.” I lied, at iniwasan ang mga tingin nila.

Inismiran naman ako ni Kia “Whatever you say, Astrid!”

It was an embarassing moment, because Oliver and his friends is having their lunch not too far from our direction. Nakahinga naman Ako ng maluwag, dahil sumulpot from nowhere si Rage kasama ang bagong girlfriend niya.

“What is up!?” he greeted.

Nag high five naman sila nina Lioh at Roswald. Medyo nahihiyang lumapit naman ang girlfriend niya, isa-isa niya kaming binati. My girl cousins greeted back, ngunit tinanguan ko lamang Ito.

Kinamot naman ni Rage ang batok, he offered her girlfriend a seat, and he started asking Kung anong lunch Nila.

“What do you want to have, Darling?” Rage asked, in a very sweet tone, which made me cough.
