wore my cropped knit top and embroidered denim shorts with white sneakers. I put the things I needed in my tote bag and ride a taxi to a coffee shop near a mall.

“An iced coffee and a oreo flavored cake please”

I arrange my things on the table I am occupying. I started writing down notes and highlighted important parts. Exams are near and I have to double-up my hard work. I want to pass and secure my place in the honor roll.

09:24 am
Kriesha:
Girls? Nasaan na kayo?

09:25 am
Diarra:
Nandito na ako sa mall

09:26 am
Savannah:
Nasa coffee shop pa ako

09:27 am
Gabby:
Sa resto na lang tayo magkita-kita.
Nasa bahay pa kasi ako, nag-aaral.

09:28 am
Savannah:
G.

09:29 am
Kriesha:
G!

09:30 am
Diarra:
G!
I spend the remaining hours reviewing my notes.

11:58 am. I walked out of the coffee shop to go to the resto in the mall. I just walk since it’s just near.

I arrived at the resto and saw the girls reading.

“Hey” I greeted them and they all stopped.

“Nakapag-order na kami ng foods” I nodded. The vibe of the resto reminded me again of events I wish to forgot.

Chase was really angry at me and didn’t even visited us when tita and tito would. Marami siyang excuses pero alam ko namang ayaw lang akong makita nun. The students are also talking behind my back. Mas pinapaboran nila si Sera, of course.

Biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko, ganun na rin kina Diarra. It was from the school’s website. It was an edited picture of me. They put horns and fangs on me. I was a laughing stock.

‘Yan ang bagay sa kanya. Sinasaktan niya si Queen Sera’
‘Baka kaya siya inaya ni King Chase dahil inakit niya’
‘Such a b*tch’
‘Napaka-desperada talaga niya!’
‘Attention-seeker’

Para itong mga karayon na tumutusok sa puso ko. Mga salitang ini-imprenta sa utak ko.

“Huwag mo na lang silang pansinin, Sav. Kulang lang talaga sila sa attention “–Kriesha.

Umuwi na lang ako at nagkulong sa kwarto ko. Those people don’t know what it feels like to be me. What it feels to read those things and be engraved in my mind.

I let tears flow down my cheeks and wash up the pain I’m feeling.
