Missing Piece

Chapter 2: Eftychia

"What the hell, bakit doon siya umupo? At binigyan pa niya si Hia ng panyo?"

"Do they know each other?"

"Well, I don't care. Shit! Girl he's so hot. Goshh!"

Rinig kong bulungan nila Veronica kaya nabaling sa kanila ang tingin ko. Bulungan ba tawag don? Ang lakas eh, abot dito sa likod mga sis.

Kitang kita ko ang matatalim na titig nila sakin. Pota kayo! Sakit pa ng pisngi ko! I just rolled my eyes on them and diverted my gaze on this man besides me.
.

.

It was him.

Ows?

Or maybe I was wrong? Kahit gaano katagal ko siya tignan hindi ko siya mamumukhaan. 'Di ko naman kase tinignan mukha nya eh.

Siya ba talaga yon? Yung lalaki kanina sa Friedens? Yung iniwan ko doon na bigla bigla nalang nag aabot ng panyo?

"Yeah, I'm one who offered you that-'' sabay turo sa panyo sa desk ko. "-but instead of accepting it, you just left." he said, though I didn't even say a single word. Is he a mind reader or what? Paano niya nalaman ang nasa isip ko.

"Because, it is too obvious on your face and the way you look at me." sagot nya ulit kahit 'di ko naman sya tinatanong. Oh edi wow dami mong alam ulol.

Inalis ko na sa kanya ang tingin ko. Tama nga ako siya nga yon. What a small word huh, handkerchief boy. Thanks, pero 'di ako tumatanggap ng basura. Kinuha ko ang panyo na ibinigay niya.

"I don't need this trash." walang emosyong sabi ko then I put his handkerchief on his desk.

"At kung pwede lumipat ka? Ayoko ng may katabe." I said, not giving him a single glance. I can see on my peripheral view that he's staring at me with his brows furrowed. So ano na te? 'Di ka nakakaintindi ng tagalog? Galing ka nga palang ibang bansa.

I thought he would just stare at me for his whole existence and ignore what I've said but I was wrong. Inalis niya ang titig saken at sinabi. "Why? Is this chair, yours? Or are you the owner of this school or what?" Naiintindihan naman pala niya.

Nakita ko pa ang pag irap nya. Ano hattitude ka ghorl? Isa ka pa hmp! Why is it people around me keeps on ruining my day?! Pasalamat ka pogi ka, kundi sinungalngal na kita.

'Di ko na sinagot ang kanyang pakening question. If he don't want to, edi ako nalang dami pa niyang satsat. Is this chair yours? Nyenyenye ulol.

I stood up and picked up my things and was ready to leave him again but.."Where do you think you're going, Miss Guevarra?" Miss Eva said raising her left eyebrow on me. Tss 'di naman pantay kilay mo eh, makapal yung sa right ma'am. Of course I didn't bother to say those words, baka ibato pa sakin hawak niyang makapal na libro. Take note, makapal pa den mukha nila Veronica and company.

"Lilipat" bored na sagot ko.

"No, stay there and you're not allowed to move seats." What the fuck?!

"Bu--"

"No more buts Miss Guevarra. Maupo kana"

Putcha! Kailan pa naging bawal ang paglipat ng pwesto? Ma'am nakakamatay ba yon ha? Sometimes, I can't really understand this old woman. Yes, matanda na siya. She's already 51 years old, but she still looks young. Nag papabatak ata eh, o alagang centrum advance. Yieee Forever Young, I wanna be forever young~~ psh korni.
