“Buksan n'yo ako dito please!” I was yelling at the top of my lungs as well as knocking the comfort room's door.
Napasandal na lang ako sa wall as I let out a deep breath. Ruby and her friends locked me inside this dark comfort room. They even took my bag away and throw it somewhere. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ako na lang lage ang pinag-titripan nila.
My gosh! Hindi ko na alam kung hanggang kelan ko kakayanin ang pang-bubully nila. It's hard to act like weak wherein deep inside I am not.
“Cindy! Are you there?” I heard someone's voice outside.
“Oo andito ako! Tulong!” I tapped the door.
“Cindy? What happened? Why are you here?” Caden asked as he opened the door.
Mabilis akong lumabas at nagpalinga-linga para hanapin ang bag ko. Pero hindi ko 'to makita.
“Hindi mo ba nakita ang bag ko Caden? Hawak nila Ruby 'yun kanina eh,” I touched my head. Nahihilo na ako sa halos isang oras na nasa loob ako ng banyo.
“So it means-- sila ang nagkulong sa'yo dito sa banyo?” nagtaka ako kung bakit namumula ang mukha ni Caden.
I lowered down my head, “oo eh-- hinila nila ako papunta dito.”
“They'll pay for this!” Caden clenched his fists.
“H'wag na Caden-- pabayaan mo na sila,” I tried to pull him back, but instead he grabbed me with him. He quickly went into the cafeteria. Lalo akong kinabahan ng lapitan n'ya sila Ruby.
“Kayo! Anong ginawa n'yo kay Cindy ha!” he pointed out Ruby. “Why did you locked her inside the comfort room?”
Caden held Ruby in her arms. I could sense his rage kaya pinilit ko siyang hinila palayo, pero hindi talaga siya maawat.
“Nanakit ka na Caden huh, ano ka feeling superhero? Sinong ililigtas mo? Itong pangit na 'to?” Ruby giggled. “Come on! Ano bang ginawa ng babaeng 'to sa'yo? Even with Kye?”
“Nasasaktan ka? Eh 'yung ginawa n'yo kay Cindy tingin mo hindi siya nasaktan?” dinuro ni Caden si Ruby. “The problem with you is you're so insecure and immature, why don't you grow up huh?”
“Hey Caden! Ano 'to sumasali ka na sa girl's fight?” singit ni Aaron na patawa-tawa pa. “Ano ka? Malamya?”
“Mag-sorry ka Ruby--” Caden's eyes narrowed. “Apologize or else makakarating 'to sa taas.”
“No way! Ako mag-sosorry? In your dreams!” she almost yelled. “I am the daughter of the congressman here, and you're telling me to apologize to this nobody? Never!”
“Caden hayaan mo na lang siya, hindi ko kailangan ng sorry n'ya,” napayuko ako.
“She's right Caden-- hayaan n'yo someday Ruby will face the consequences of her actions,” sabi ng paparating na si Kye kasama n'ya sina Lixy at Faith.
“Ikaw na bruha ka-- next time na guluhin mo pa si Cindy, I'll make sure na masasaktan ka talaga,” Lixy crossed her arms. “Tara na guys-- Ruby is not worth our time.”
Lixy slowly pulled me away and we settled in a bleacher. Sumunod naman sa'min sina Kye, Caden, at Faith.
“Ayos ka lang ba Cindy? Nasaktan ka ba?” Faith held me in my shoulders. “Kaya pala hindi ka namin mahanap eh, kinulong ka nila.”
“Hayaan n'yo na 'yun, mabuti na lang nahanap ako ni Caden,” I sighed. “Mahigit isang oras na ako dun eh.”
“Here is your bag Cindy,” Caden handed it to me. “Don't worry, hindi na 'to mangyayari ulit, I'll make sure of that.”
