My name is Kia Pascual.
l'm just a normal girl trying to fit in in this world. Lagi akong natatawag na "mataba" at "panget".
I always struggle with that everyday. Especially in school.
Being called by those words always hurt me. It tears me and break me inside.
I get called by those in school evryday and that's one of the reasons why I probably hate my life.
Sabi nila, Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words don't. That's not true. Words hurt too.

A boy started it all.

Mark Jimenez.

Hindi man lang ako naging close sa kanya dahil lagi kaming nag aaway. He was considered as a "bad boy" because he would always cause trouble.
Ang daming girls na nagkakagusto sa kanya and I freaking have no idea why. I only had one friend, Kyle Sy. Worse, Kyle doesn't study in my school. Makikita ko nanaman si Mark. Bahala na si Batman kung ano ang sakit na mararanasan ko nanaman ngayong araw na ito.

Papasok na ako sa classroom at umupo sa upuan.
Nang biglang "Kia taba panget" ang sinigaw.
I already knew who that was...

Definitely Mark Jimenez.

I had to deal with that every day.
Pinipilit ko ang sarili ko araw araw na wag pansinin yun.
But today's gonna be different.
I'm not weak but I'm afraid to fight.
They might think that I wanted attention at tapang tapangan lang.
Mark Jimenez has a notorious profile here in school.
He continued saying those words. Wala ata tong balak tumigil.
Nakakaasar na. Nakakasakit.

Kia: Ano bang problema mo?! Lagi mo na lang ako pinagtritripan at binubully! Wala naman akong ginagawa sayo!

All eyes we're on me. I knew this would happen. Para lang akong pumatay ng limang tao.

Mark: Sorry po.

He said it in a kidding and laughing manner. It's not funny, Mark.

Kia: Tumawa tawa ka pa diyan. Lagi kang nang-bubully. Nakakatuwa ba?

Mark: Haha. No one talks to me like that.

Kia: Obviously someone should kasi nararapat sayo yun.

Hindi na siya sumagot muli.
He just smirked at me. A Devilish smirk.
Is he planning something bad? Probably? Maybe? I hope not.
But I can see it's something bad and horrible.

Ms.Gomez walked in and started the class.
We started with a discussion.
Of course it's boring, but I still had to listen.
The discussion ended and class is almost over.
Nag announce si Ms.Gomez na magpapalit daw ng sitting arrangements.
I hope na yung katabi ko naman ay matinong tao.
One table - 2 students kasi eh -_-
finally my name is mentioned................

"Ms.Pascual and Mr.Jimenez on that table."

Uh. Why? Why o why?

Finally class was over. I went home and as usual......No parents because they're out of town.
It's kind of sad because they go home only thrice a year.
My yaya and me we're left.
Nagbasa basa muna ako since first day palang naman.
Since I was done with everything, I had free time for the rest of the day. Time check is 2:30 pm. Still early. I decided to do some social networking..........FACEBOOK!!
I logged in my facebook account and I had a friend request. I checked the friend request.........

"Mark Jimenez wants to be your friend".

Ppfftt. It mocks me with the "friend" part. I'll just accept it anyway.

"You and Mark Jimenez are now friends."

Friends. Freaking Friends. Not exactly.

Then a message popped out my chat box. It was Mark.
