VANDALISM
"Hoy Banyo Queen, ano na naman bang sinulat mo? Naku Ayana, kapag ikaw talaga nahuli," sermon ng kaibigan ko dahil sa kalokohan ko.
"Shhhh, ang ingay mo naman, Maria baka may makarinig sa 'yo," saway ko dito bago muling napahagikhik dahil sa sariling kalokohan. Muli kong pinagmasdan ang isinulat ko sa pader ng aming banyo.
'I LOVE YOU PRESIDENT CHONG'
"Problema sa inyong mga mukhang mababait, laging ligtas sa mga kalokohan not knowing na mas malala pa kayo sa amin. Ba't kasi hindi kana lang umamin?" Mahinang bulong nito na ikinatawa ko.
"Sorry naman. Alam mo namang hindi ko kaya 'yon tsaka minsan lang naman ako gumawa ng kalokohan isupport mo na lang." Napabuntong hininga naman siya tanda na wala talaga itong magagawa.
"Fine. Tara na nga baka mahuli pa tayo tapos ako pa ang pagbintangan."
Rui Chong is my crush since Grade 7. I don't know why it happened because I'm not really into that thing. I've known for being a honor student. Wala daw sa itsura ko ang gagawa ng kalokohan dahil napakatahimik at napakaamo ng mukha ko. Little did they know, I did lot of stupid things whenever I'm with my bestfriend, Amber.
'You always made my day, Rui'
I smiled widely while staring on the wall. I know it's impossibble for him to read this because this CR is for female only but I'm still hoping since he's the SSG President.
"So, ikaw pala 'yan." My body froze as I heard his voice behind me. Mariin akong napapikit at nagsimulang pagpawisan dahil sa kaba. What to do? Huminga muna ako nang malalim bago siya hinarap at mabilis itinago ang pentelpen na hawak.
"No. It's not me. Mukha ba akong gagawa ng ganyang bagay? It's my bestfriend, Amber who did that. I think she likes you." Ano na namang katangahan ang ginawa ko? Ngayon tuloy napahamak ang kaibigan ko.
Napatango naman siya. "Oh, I see. I'm sorry. Tell to her to stop vandalizing or else she'll get a punishment."
Matapos 'yon ay agad kong ikinuwento kay Amber 'yon. Sandamakmak na sermon at 'tanga' ang natanggap ko dito. I feel sorry for her. But despite of it, I didn't stop writing on our CR's wall. Siguro mas okay na din ito kaysa umamin at maghabol sa kaniya.
While we're eating at the cafeteria, I saw Rui staring at my bestfriend. It breaks me. Nagkamali ba ako na sinabi kong kaibigan ko ang nagsulat do'n? Dapat ba umamin na lang ako na ako 'yon. Maybe now, he already notices my bestfriend that should be me.
Time flies and it repeats many times. Lagi ko siyang nahuhuling nakatingin sa bestfriend ko. May mga humor pa nga na nagtatanong si Rui about dito. Jealousy starts to register on me. Does he likes, Amber? I hate myself for being like this.
I was walking on the hallway when I saw Amber and Rui together. They're talking like they know each other. My whole day went bad that time.
'You're hurting me President'
"I thought it's your friend?" Nabitawan ko agad ang pentelpen na hawak nang marinig ang kaniyang boses. "Anong nagawa ko para masaktan ka?"
"I-I'm sorry. I will accept the consequences of what I did," I uttered, ignoring what he said.
"Look at me." Hindi ako sumunod sa halip ay lalong tumungo. Nagsimulang mamuo ang luha sa aking mata. I got shocked when he lifted up my chin.
"I'm sorry for hurting you. I know you're the one who wrote those writings on the wall and not your bestfriend." Mas lalo aking nagulat dahil sa sinabi nito.
"B-but why did you act like you didn't?"
"Because I'm afraid that you're might just tripping around. Simula ng tumuntong ka sa Paaralan na ito, you already caught my attention and I'm afraid that I may not be able to reach your standards. Yes, I do love you pero sino ba naman ako para sa isang matalino, maganda at mayaman na katulad mo? I'm just a cold President who only knows how to give punishments. I'm not like those admirer of yours who have lot of talents and achievements. This may sounds gay, but I'm really scared, Ayana." He wipes the tears that keep on falling from my eyes. "But when Amber told me that you like me since Grade 7 and those stupid things that you did, it made me realized one thing." Ngumiti siya at inilagay sa gilid ng aking tenga ang mga takas na buhok. "Having your heart is the biggest achievement that I've got."
He's right. He always got my heart. And now, I don't know how to have it back.
