"Jerizielle Villareal" Our teacher called my name. Wow! What a way to start my day. Fuck! Natawag agad ako sa recitation and what's more interesting? I forgot that we have one. Mygod Ellie get a hold of yourself.
"Yes ma'am?" I responded politely. Kala mo naman talaga mabait. I was silently preparing myself to fail this oral recitation while our teacher is choosing a question for me, goddammit why the hell I forgot about this. Biology pa naman to, ang Bobo ko dito.
" Cells can be separated into two broad categories, what are those?"
"Prokaryotic cells and Eukaryotic cells" I answered confidently. It was so easy buti nalang. I really thought I'm gonna failed. I was about to go back to my seat when my teacher spoke again.
"Differentiate those two." She said. I frown, she's so unfair. When she found out that I was Jaszianna and Jhariyah's little sister she started to treat me differently. Did she think that I'm smart as hell as them? Tangina di ko nga alam kung paano nila nagagawa yun. Bihira ko lang sila makitang humawak ng libro but they always make it on top of their class. Sana all nalang talaga.
"Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles while Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. It may be single or multicellular organisms." I answer. Buti nalang talaga tanda ko to. She clearly said earlier that one question for person only. Tapos sa akin may follow-up question pa. Nangigigil talaga ako sa teacher na to e.
I frown at her when she's not looking at me anymore, then I heard someone laughing beside me. "kabado bente hahaha, favorite ka talaga ni miss" I just rolled my eyes on him. Kainis, he was the one who start to ruin my day sunod sunod na tuloy. Kasalanan nya talaga lahat.
"Dane Jandrei Miller" our teacher called him. I smirk, nagulat pa ang gago.
"Tangina" he curse silently as our teacher called him next to me, bilis talaga ng karma. Sana hindi sya makasagot.
"He made powerful single lens
microscope and one of first to look at
and describe living cells"
"Antonie van Leeuwenhoek" he answered then smirk at me. I know he knows what I'm thinking, he knows that I was silently praying that he couldn't answer the question. Nakimutan ko matalino nga pala to, di lang halata.
The recitation continues with one question per person only, well I'm an exemption. Unfair talaga.

I was waiting for my ate Zia because we always have lunch together with her friends. We have the same schedule but its just temporary because it wasn't fix yet. I'll rather have lunch with my sister than with my so called "friends" they're the one who said that we're friends anyway. As if I don't know that they always talk about me behind my back. Mga plastic, kairita!
I was waiting for more than half an hour already when I decided to go to her room because its almost over lunch and they aren't picking me up in my room yet.
"Our schedule just changed today, we're having our lunch an hour after yours" ate Zia told me. What the hell? She didn't even inform me ahead of time, I was waiting!
"Just have lunch with your friends from now on, don't always defend on me. You're all grown up already, learn to be independent." She added and then turn her back on me. Independent my ass. I rarely even ask for their help because they don't wanna help me in anything. I was even like living alone in the house because I rarely talk to any of them. I was always locking myself in my room and when I get hungry I will cooked my own food because they are not calling me when its time to eat.
I just decided to go back to my room and wait for my next subject, nawalan na ako ng gana. I was just staring at the window when this familiar girl caught my attention. I have been observing her and I must admit I envy her so much. She had everything I wanted. She's a social butterfly and people was always so nice to her. Had so many talents and have supportive family. We are in the same grade level but she's in different section. I don’t know if she knew me because I'm just no one here anyway. If I'm not mistaken I think her name is Cassianna Ghaile Dela Serna. I always admire her in everything.
My afternoon class was about to start in 10 minutes when Drei enter the room. He directly go to his seat beside me then he put a sandwich on my desk without saying anything.
"Why did you put your sandwich on my desk? You have your own put it there" I ask him. He glared at me when he heard my question and when I place the sandwich on his table. Ano bang problema nito? Sama makatingin when he's the one who always makes fun of me.
"You didn't eat your lunch and I don't wanna be distracted when you started complaining later in the middle of the class that your starving. You know I'm so focused on my studies I don't want any distractions during class. Masakit pa naman sa tenga boses mo" he sarcastically said and then he laugh and turn his back on me before I could say anything. Ugh! This guy! He's always happy when he see me irritated. And what did he say? He's focused on his studies? Sinong gago maniniwala sa kanya. Its a rare sight to see him listening to the discussions. He's so smart I wouldn't deny that. Gwapo din sana nakakairita lang.
I just eat the sandwich he gave me. Wala naman sigurong gayuma to. Im really hungry, this would do for now.
"Takaw naman! Bilis mauubos ah" I looked at whoever asshole said that and I'm not surprised that its Drei again.
"Asshole" I uttered enough for him to hear it.
"Wow! is that the new way of saying thank you?" He ask with a smirk flattered on his face.
"You could say that" I sarcastically said then rolled my eyes on him. He laughed again. Then he said something in a low voice that I couldn't even hear.
"What did you say?"
He didn't answer me and act like he didn't hear anything. Bahala nga sya dyan kainis.
