I met her in a small sari sari store, she was shy while trying to buy something.
"Napkin po with wings" mahinang sabi niya kaya medyo natawa ako nang bahagya.
"Nakakatawa?" She raised her brow while asking that question.
"Nakakatawa?" I mocked, inirapan niya lang ako at tinalikuran sabay kumaripas ng takbo.
"Weirdo" bulong ko sa sarili ko.
I stopped when I saw a napkin, dali dali ko itong kinuha at tumakbo. Pota napaka init.
"Hoy!" Sigaw ko kaya huminto siya sa paglalakad.
"Potang ina, ano bang gusto mo?" Tf? she's so stubborn
"Ouch! Ako pa minura mo" pagbibiro ko, I saw her hands formed into fist. Manununtok pa ata.
"Hey relax di ka mabiro I'm just trying to return your napkin, see?" Sabi ko sabay taas sa napkin na naiwan niya.
She smiled awkwardly na para bang nahihiya. Nagulat ako nang bigla niyang kinuha ang napkin sa kamay ko nang wala man lang pasabi at ayun nagtatatakbo na naman ang kupal.
"Salamat Amazona!" I shouted. I saw that she raised her middle finger. Tf? did she really do that? God she's really something.
After that I never saw her again not until a new school year came.
Napawang ang labi ko nang makita ko siyang mag isang naka upo sa gilid ng classroom, ang aga aga nakasimangot ang kupal. Tumabi ako ng upo sakanya at masiglang bumati.
"Hi, classmate" she just rolled her eyes as a response. Bastos
"Aba attitude" mahinang sabi ko, saka umupo.
"Aba papansin" pang iinsulto niya sa'kin. Papansin daw ako? Napakasakit naman niyang magsalita. Hindi ko nalang siya pinatulan, napaisip tuloy ako kung kakayanin kong tiisin tong Amazonang to for a year, a whole fucking school year.
"I'm Franzy Dominggo, I'm a transferee here" she coldly said while introducing herself infront of the class. Franzy, huh?
Months passed and she's not that bad 'maybe'. She's so quite to the point na parang di ko na siya napapansin, actually I never talked to her and it looks like she doesn't want to talk either so I didn't bother her at baka tawagin na naman akong papansin.
I was trying to finish a project, tinamad kasi ako kagabi kaya eto I'm cramming as fuck right now. Napahawak ako sa mukha nang may papel na tumama rito.
"Putcha sino y.." I stopped when I saw Franzy raised a peace sign using her hands. Did she do that on purpose? I saw her stand and she picked up the paper.
"Sorry. Itatapon ko lang sana sa basurahan kaso parang mas gusto ng papel sa mukha mo, you looked like a garbage can anyway." She joked while throwing the paper, teka joke ba yun? Lakas mang insulto ng pota.
"Istorbo, tang ina" I cussed at her
"Sorry na nga!" I looked at her and I saw the guilt in her eyes. Damn! Galing! Paawa effect.
"Oo na, sige na" I continued to finish my project pero di ako makapag focus sa ginagawa ko dahil ramdam kong tinititigan niya ako. Anong bang problema nitong amazonang to?
"Stop staring at me na para kang tutang inagawan ng buto" I looked at her pero umiwas siya ng tingin.
"Hey, I'm not angry if that's what you're thingking right now" I assured her with a smile. I saw her nod and she rested her face in the desk. Damn! She's acting weird I mean weird na siya dati pero she's weirder right now. Wala man lang pumasok na teacher. The only thing we did is pass our project, sana ganito palagi.
