Chapter Nineteen

Lance’s POV

“WHAT THE—?!…”

HAH. Nahuli ko rin. Lagot ka saken ngayon.
Yan kase. Patanga-tanga sa new building.

“HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!”
“SHUT UP!”

Tss.


“What the fcuk are you doing?!”

“Kinakaladkad ka, di mo ba kita?”

“Let go of me!”

“Naliligaw ka diba? Dadalhin kita sa classroom niyo!”

“Paano mo nalamang dito ako? ARE YOU STALKING ME?!”






“STUPID! Classmate kita dito!”

“Paano mo nalaman?” she asked, her eyes widening. “Teka, you really ARE stalking me!"

“Tange! Nakita ko sa Form 5 mo kanina noh! KAPAL MO AH!”

“Eh bakit mo tinitingnan kung di mo ko sinostalk?!”

“Sino ka naman para istalk ko? Tsaka hoy, hawak ni Rafa kanina yun! Malamang nakita ko!”

“Linaw ng mata mo ah!”

“Talaga!”

“What’s up with you pulling me like a pet dog without a leash?!”

“WELL what’s up with you telling them na hindi mo ko kilala?”


Natahimik kami.
Buti na lang walang ibang tao sa 4th floor. Ang ingay namin eh. Nageecho yung boses namin


“Nakita mo ba kung paano ako tingnan nung girlfriend mo?! Napatingin nga lang ako sayo ganun na yung inabot ko eh! How much more kung sinabi kong kilala kita?! Edi kinain na ko nun ng buhay!”

“OA mo! Hindi siya ganun! Pati hindi ko siya girlfriend!”


Tumaas ulit yung kilay niya na parang ayaw niyang maniwala.


“Don’t let her hear you say that.”

“Di ko nga siya girlfriend eh! Bakit ba ang kulit mo?!”

“Wag ka ngang magalit!”

“Hindi ako galit!”

Nag-iba facial expression niiya. Parang natatawang nabubwisit. Ang weird.

“Eh bakit ka affected?”

“Anong affected ka dyan? ”

“Kanina. Bakit affected kang dineny kita? ”


Oo nga. Bakit ba ako nag-aaksaya ng oras kakatanong sa loka lokang to?


“Wala.”

“Anong wala?”

“Wag ka ngang makulit!”

She folded her arms and pouted like a child na pinagdamutan ng kendi.
Ang CUTE

AYSUS. Hinde. Mali. Joke lang yun.

Tinabihan ko siya.

“Ikaw ah. ”
“Anong ako?”
“Wala lang. Napansin mo rin bang kamukha ni Raf—…”
“I wouldn’t finish that sentence if I were you.”

She suddenly looked angry.

“Bakit ka nagagalit?”


Walang sagot.

“Teka, asaan nga pala si G—…”
“Bakit hindi si Rish ang tanungin mo?”



“W— what are you talking about?”

She avoided my gaze.

“I’m going to the washroom.”


Rafa’s POV

“Stop scolding me!”
“You deserve it!”

Padabog niyang nilagay yung tray ng pagkain niya sa table.


“Ayan ka na naman, inaaway mo na naman ako dahil sa mga babae mo,” she said grudgingly, looking at me

as though inapi ko siya. “Kasalanan ko bang sobrang sama ng mga ugali ng mga girls na natitripan mo?! You’ve got such bad taste in girls! TSS!”

“You leave my taste out of this, Karissa!”

“Don’t call me Karissa, damn it!”

Pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao. I even heard some say “Tss, Freshies,” while shaking their heads in disapproval.


“Look, I’m not after Ria, okay? Now get off her back and stop calling her—…”

“Oh, skinnyb!tch? Sorry, bro, but I’ve gotten fond of it and I won’t be stopping anytime.”

“You say that again and I’ll—…”

“Skinnyb!tch, skinnyb!tch, skinnyb!tch! Now what’re you gonna do, huh? ”




“Ok. What did she do to you?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Answer my question!”

She rolled her eyes.


“I— don’t like her. Period. And you should’ve seen the way she stared at Kevin,” she said, her frown worsening. “I’ll bet she’s one of his fan girls back in Belletown. Kung bakit kasi hindi nag-Xavier si Kevin? He should’ve been dealing with us and not with people like… Ugh.”

“Listen to me, young lady,” I said sternly. “Mom and Dad didn’t put us in established schools to make us look down on others. And if I didn’t know better, selos ka lang. ”

“Eh ano naman?”

“Easy, girl! Masasakal na sayo yun agad, you’re not even dating, and you’re not sure if he likes you back.”

“Whatever, Rafa!If he doesn’t like me, why else would he pick me up from our pad? Tapos sinabay niya pa ako rito… see?”

“Sis, I think you’re over-assuming. And besides, I heard you goading him into picking you up for school.”

“GOADING?!”

“Yup, that’s what you call it.”


She looked like she was about to reach boiling point.


“TSS! Kakabwisit ka talaga! HMF! Magsama kayo ni skinnyb!tch!”

“Sabi nang tumigil ka eh!”

“Bakit? Ayan ka na naman! She’s Mishka all over again! You and your b!tch girls!”

“YOU TAKE THAT BACK!”


I was standing up, without me even knowing that I have actually left my seat.

“What? You’re gonna hit me? Like what Lola did just to stop me from calling your Great Deceased Girlfriend names?!”



Every single pair of eyes in the cafeteria were now looking at us.

“SHE’S DEAD, FOR GOD’S SAKE!”
“You—…”

















“Bakit ba?” she asked. “Ako buhay pa… ako nandito pa… bakit ba siya pa rin yung kinakampihan niyo?”

 Never had I seen her like this; never had she voiced out how she felt…

“Ikaw… si Lola… si Ate Niki… lahat na lang…”

I slumped into my seat as I watched her storm out of the room.


Rish’s POV

“Every night I pray… on bended knee… lalala!”

I sang at the top of my lungs while twirling on tiptoe all around the living room, holding the cooking spoon as I went.

“Wow anak, di ko alam, may natutunan ka rin naman pala sa ballet mo noon ”
“Hello, dance troupe nga ako nung High School eh! Mommy talaga.”

My Dad smiled as he looked up at me. He was holding the morning newspaper.

“Bakit kaya ang saya saya ng baby namin?”

“Baby kayo dyan, dalaga na yan! ” said Kuya, who was fixing the table.

“Shut up Kuya!”



“Nako nako, ang magkuya, nagkakabukingan ”

“Hija di ka nagsasabi ha.”

“Si Kuya din meron!”

“Heh! Iniiba mo usapan eh!” sabi ni Kuya. I was quite pleased to see that he was blushing.

“Alam niyo Mama, Daddy, sinulatan yan nung boyfriend niyang Intsik kaya nagwawala!”

“Chinese?”

“Opo! Ganto itsura oh!” sabi ni Kuya, tas binitiwan niya yung hawak niyang mga plato para i-stretch yung mata niya para magmukhang Oriental.

“Gwapo ba?”

“Oo naman!”

“Mas gwapo ako! Kasi yun, laging nakaganito!” sabi niya, then sumimangot siya ng sobrang exagg, tipong lukot na yung mukha niya sa sobrang simangot.

“ULUL! Hindi kaya!”


Tinawanan kami nila Mama at Daddy.


“Totoo naman! Laging seryoso, nakasimangot, walang expression yung mukha! Ang angas pa!”

“Malamang, model eh!”

“Wow, model?”

“Asus, pustahan tayo spoiled brat yun.”

“Tumpak ka dyan Daddy!”


At nagkampihan pa itong mag-amang kumag na to. T_T


“Asus! Whatever Kuya! Palibhasa wala akong masasabi sa girlfriend mo!”

“Bakit anak? Perfect ba?”

“Oo ma! Maganda, mabait, may pagkasuplada rin… tas valedictorian!”

“Wow! Galing niyo pumili ah! ”

Kuya was starting to blush to the roots of his hair. Even his ears were turning red.

“Sa sobrang perfect nga, pati yung boy— este, yung special friend ko eh nagkakacrush dun!”

“Talaga?”

“Opo! Ay, meron pa pala akong di nasabi!”

“Ano yun ano yun?” Mama asked as Kuya got himself busy with getting the dinner casserole out of the oven.

“Perfect na sana yun Ma, kaso, selosa! ”

“Irish Christine, gusto mong mabato ng bandehado?”

“BLEH! Sasabihin ko pa rin!” I taunted him while he glared at me, looking ready to strangle me. “Tas Ma! Ako pa yung pinagseselosan!”

“Paano kasi, ayaw niyong ipasabi na magkapatid kami. T_T Lagi tuloy kaming nag-aaway. Tanungin niyo yang loka-lokang yan, sila rin ni Intsik Beho ako naman yung pinag-aawayan. ”

TOINKS. Talagang bukingan mode eh

“Kayo naman eh. Diba inexplain naman namin kung bakit hinde pwede?”
“Oo nga. Kawawa naman kayo pag nagkataong kumalat yan, lalo na si Rish. Eskandalo yun.”
“Ok lang. At least walang away. Tsaka sikat kami. Diba kuya?”
“HAHA, loka loka!”


Ang saya naman. Sana laging ganito. Naiimagine ko na tuloy kung paano kami mabubuhay pagbalik namin sa Pilipinas.
Kaso malayo-layo pa yun. Kakasimula lang mag-ipon eh. Siguro naman, madali lang mag-ipon ng pamasahe…

*CRACK*


Napalingon naman ako.

“Gelo!”

Kuya was looking at the plate he had been holding just mere seconds ago… which now lay upon his feet, cracked into a thousand tiny pieces.

“Sorry. Nabitawan ko. ”
“Ingat naman anak. Wala na tayong pambili ng plato ”
