CHAPTER11


As I have told you, I am badly in need of a calculus tutorial. I'm sucking at this course! Cause if not, I might lose my scholarship and of course, my credential on running for vice-chair. I wanted my life to get busy not thinking of things that would make me feel forever alone.


At the cafeteria

Oh Ash, why sad? It's a freaking friday morning.

Wala. I'm just depressed. Calculus is such a pain in the ass.

She giggled, That's an easy prob. Get yourself a tutor or something.

I know. Pero nako nakakalerkey lang yung nagiisang tutor sa library. Parati siyang busy-busyhan.

Ano bang name niyan? Baka pwedeng makausap ni Lisa.

Wag na. Hindi na kailangan. Nakakahiya kung magpapatulong pa ako.

I just don't want you to get sad. And besides, that's a benefit of a Kappa. Speaking... Sa friday may meeting tayo for the fund raiser. For the cancer patients in St. Jude's.

Bukas na ba yun? Shooooots! I have a paper to finish in Interlaw.

Naku we all have to be there. Pero I'll tell Lisa na din.

Sige sabihin mo na lang na medyo malalate ako. Oh no!! So many things to do, so little time!


While in class

Okay class, you have to prepare for the coming midterms. I don't want to fail students. So please do your part. Any questions?


BELL RINGSSSSS...

Well said, class dismissed. As I walked close to the door, Uhm--Ms. Manzano!

Y-yes?

Can I have a minute with you?

Sure. What is it po?

I've heard you're running for the student council?

Yes miss.

Well that's good. Sana you have time to review and exert more effort in my class too.

I turn my smiling face into :|

I know calculus is darn hard but I am expecting you to pass my course.

I will do my best miss.

I hope you do. And good luck on your campaign.

Thank you! Ugh! I am so doomed! I rushed to my dorm to finish the HALF part of my paper in Interlaw.







Until... Untill I fell asleep on my desk.


DOOR OPENS...

Ash? May kama ka oh! Bat ka dyan natutulog?

I was half asleep... Peeking through my eyes. Sorry, what time is it?

Quarter to eight.

QUARTER TO EIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

W-why? What's up?

I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR MY MEETING! I pony my hair and grabbed my bag and jacket and headed to the library.






At the Library.

I saw a a guy who was packing his things. Excuse me sir!!!!!!!

Everyone looked at me. Muntik na ako madapa sa pagmamadali kong habulin yung taong makakapagsave ng grades ko!

The guy turn around and said, Yes?






C-Caleb? Is that you?

Kumunot ng konti ang noo niya, trying to remember me... A-Ashley?

I hugged him sa sobrang excitement ko! Dito ka din pala nagaaral?

SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, the Librarian said.

So I whispered, Hi! Kamusta ka na?

Eto okay naman. Bakit mukang nagmamadali ka ata?

Medyo nahihiya pa akong magsabi. I-ikaw ba yung calculus tutor ko?

Are you the one who scheduled for my service last night?

Y-yea! I got so embarrassed. A-ako nga. Hi-hi-hi

Come on, sit down. Let's begin.

Begin na talaga? Pwede chikahan muna tayo?

Ash, we're at the library. And we're on our session. Medyo strict kasi ako sa time, I have a lot of things to do. I only have 2 hours. Sorry. So what topic would you like to discuss?

L-limits. :|


Shet pahiya ako dun ah. So I just agreed with him. Nahihiya ako kasi nagpapaturo ako sa kanya. It's like a year ago sa kanya ako nagbuhos ng sama ng loob ko kay Marco. Natatandaan niya pa kaya yun? At ngayon ko lang napansin, ang cute pala ng mga eyes niya. Lalo na when he's wearing his facial hair. ; Oh my Ashley! Stop staring at his face. FOCUS ON THE NUMBERS! Stupid girl! But wait, his teeth is pearly white. His smile is limited pero keri na din...

A-Ash?? Do you understand?

H-ha?! Ang alin?

Tumungo siya pa-hindi. Nakikinig ka ba sakin?

Ah... Oo...

Sige nga, i-explain mo nga sakin kung pano ko nakuha 'to?

Uh... K-kasi ganito lang yan...

She's still pretty. Always has been. I wonder what happened to her. Kamusta na kaya siya ngayon? Grabeeee di ako makapaniwalang magkikita pa pala kami. There are things that I....

Tapos....Yan! Tama ba yung sagot ko?

I was staring at her face. H-ha?!

Eh di ka naman pala nakikinig sakin eh!

Anong hindi, teka nga check ko yung solution mo... Duuuuuussssshhhh!!!!! That was close. Muntik na niya akong mahuling nakatingin sa kanya the whole time. Ganito talaga siya sakin eh! SYNDROME! Parati na lang ako napapa-starstruck sa kanya! Nakakainis! Teka, ano ba 'tong iniisip ko! Tsk! Nawawala ako sa concentration! Caleb, focus! Babae lang yan! Anong babae? Si Ashley Manzano yang kaharap mo!





Pano naging 0 yan eh hindi mo pa nga yan dinidivide sa 2.45?

H-huh?! I checked my solution @#$%$(&()!!! Bakit ito yung nasagot ko? Shet nakakahiya! Baka isipin nito hindi ko alam 'to. I need a comeback! Well... VERY GOOD! Sinadya ko talaga yun para itest kung nakikinig ka at kung may nagegets ka!

S-suuuusss!!! Maniwala ako sayo! Mali ka lang eh! Marunong ka ba talaga?

Ano? Pinagdududahan mo ba kakayanan ko?

Ha... Hindi joke lang! Joke lang! Then he stood up and got his bag. Uy teka! Wag mong sabihing napikon ka sa sinabi ko? Joke lang.

Hindi ako napikon. Wala lang akong time sa taong walang tiwala sakin.

Pinipigilan ko siyang wag umalis. Caleb sorry na! Joke nga lang!

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! The librarian warned us for the 2nd time.

Wag ka ngang maingay. Ang library para sa mga taong gustong matuto. Kaya wag kang istorbo sa kanila. Nagmadali siyang lumabas ng library. Syempre sinundan ko ang g*go.


TEKA NGA!!!!! SABING TEKA EH!!!! Tumigil siya sa paglalakad. Ang sungit mo! Di ko alam kung ano bang ginawa ko para maging masungit ka ng ganyan sakin!

Hindi kita sinusungitan!

Eh bakit ganyan ka? Ang bilis mong mawalan ng pasensya! Hindi ka naman ganyan dati. Ikaw nga tong nagcoconsole sa akin dati! Tapos ngayon ganyan ka. Bigla siyang lumingon, Gusto mo bang matuto o hindi?

G-gusto.

Yun naman pala. So bakit mo pa kailangan magopen ng topic na labas sa calculus? Sinasayang mo yung 2 oras ko kung puro yan ag paguusapan.

Ah okay. PASENSYA KA NA KUNG INUUBOS KO YUNG ORAS MO! Akala ko kasi, matutuwa ka dahil nagkita tayo. I thought we're friends!

Friends? Tutor mo ako, hindi mo ako social puppet.

SOCIAL PUPPET?!?! What the... I came up to him and give the b*tchiest slap he could ever get in his life. Tapos saka ako nagwalk out!






I don't get him! Why he has to be so tough on me? Ano bang ginawa ko para insultuhin niya ako!
During the same freaking Calculus class.



Ms. Manzano? Can I have a word for a sec?

Ugh! I sighed. Ano po yun ma'am?

You know for sure that you're in the line between the repeat and 3.75?

Yes I know. But I'm...

Well! As you also need to kow that you have to pass midterms to obtain a passing grade for finals?

Yes I am aware of that.

And I would like to recommend Mr. Lorenzo as your tutor. Caleb suddenly came up in our classroom. Oh I so hate his guts! He's my student teacher and I would like him to teach you things you don't get in our class. He approached me this morning and convinced me to endorse you to him. He wanted to help you. We wanted to help you pass.

SUPER EPALICIOUS TALAGA! He's freaking smirking infont of me. I-Uh... I'll think about that.

Ms. Manzano, I am advicing you to get help. So please do what it takes for you to pass this course. I think I said enough, goodluck to you Ms. Manzano. Caleb, help this kid.








He gave me a paperbag. Ano tingin mo sakin bata? Bibigyan mo ng suhol para okay na?

Ayaw mo?

Ano ba laman niyan? Malay ko ba kung daga yan!


Then nilabas niya yung laman ng paper bag.

[trexe_treshe13]

CHAPTER12






*FLASHBACK to Gradeschool*


Matapos ma-bully si Caleb nila George at mga kasamahan niya. A-Ashley salamat sa pag ligtas mo sakin.

...Wala yun! Habang itinatali ko yung panyo ko sa hiwang sugat ni Caleb, Kapag binully ka pa ulit nila Georgina, sabihin mo agad sakin. Sabi kasi ng mommy ko bad daw mangaway at good ang tumulong! Pagkalabas ko ng alcohol sa bag ko

Teary eyed Caleb said, Whoa!!!! ANO YAN?!!? Ayaw ko niyan! Masakit yan! Ayaw!

Ang alin?! Yung sugat mong nakangiti o yang bukol mong nagmumura?

B-both. Basta wag mo na lagyan ng alcohol! Mahapdi yan! Takot ako dyan! Makirot yan!

Caleb! Di ka pa ba sanay sa mga sugat at pasa mo? Halos everyday ka na nga naliligo sa alcohol eh.

Basta!!!!! MASAKI.....

SABAY BINUHOS KO NG BONGGA SA NAKA-SMILE NA SUGAT NIYA YUNG ALCOHOL!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY KOOOOO POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Napakapit siya sa braso ko.

Class bell rings.


O san tayo pupunta? Tapos na recess ah! Akyat na tayo?

Anong aakyat? Di ka pwede pumasok ng classroom. Baka paginitan ka nanaman nila at asarin. Pupunta tayo sa clinic.

AYAW! Please? Binuhusan mo na nga ako ng alcohol, papupuntahin mo pa ako sa clinic. Ash, wag na please? Please? Please? Nagmamakaawang Caleb.

S-sige pero ingatan mo na di umuka yung sugat mo. Pano ka? Mukang di mo na kayang umakyat.

Bumusangot lang sakin habang nakatingin si Caleb with all his puppy eye look..

SIGE NA! SASAMAHAN NA KITA HANGGANG UWIAN.

END OF FLASH BACK*



BUTTTTTTTT... He gave me back my hankerchief. Sobrang na-shock ako at di makapagsalita.

Uhmm... Di ko lang kasi naisauli sayo ito.

I stared at the hankerchief. Sabay binalik niya agad yung picture sa loob ng paperbag.

Oh bat mo binalik?!

Eh, di naman na yan importante sayo. K-kasi naisip ko lang ibalik. Pasensya na ngayon lang. Pero tssss... dapat talaga itatapon ko na rin yan. Muka namang di mo na kailangan.

Anong di importante? Importante sakin to. Nagulat lang ako at naitago mo pa yan.

May mga simpleng bagay pa palang pinapahalagahan ang isang Ashley Manzano!?

What do you mean by that?

Wala.

Anong wala? Wag kang sarcastic. Ano ba ibig mong sabihin? Tska bakit ba sinisira mo yung magandang mood? Epal ka talaga.

H-hindi. Wala, nevermind what I said.

Sabihin mo na! Tsk, Caleb for years I've been wondering what happened to us? Ay mali! Baka he'll take it the wrong way! Uhmmm... What I mean is friends naman tayo nung bata tayo. Ano nga bang nangyari?




He breathe deeply. :| Well... Let me refresh your memory...
We used to be friends. You used to be my hero eversince then you saved me from the bullies. We rarely talked in highschool. The small talks became smug and smiles. Until one day you got claim to fame when Marco made you the perfect it girl in school. Hanggang sa hindi na kita kilala. You were every boy's fantasy in our highschool. And you forgot that your friends are the ones who bullied me back then.
Georgina became your bestfriend. I became an outsider. You forgot who I was. You didn't know my name. And your birthday surprise last time, they pushed me to be your mascot. Ganun lang siguro talaga ang tingin niyo sakin? Pwede niyong mapaglaruan? Kahit na galit na galit ako sa mga friends mo, hindi ko alam kung paano mo ako natalikuran. Your so called best friends were the ones who ruined my childhood. Pero tama sila, we all change. PEOPLE CHANGED. So I guess by this time I think it's time for me to change.

I-I'm sorry, Caleb. I didn't know...

No Ash. Ganun talaga! Highschool is a nightmare.

Caleb, I-I'm really sorry for doing that. You're the least person I wanted to get hurt.

He breathe another deep breath. Tara! Let's just forget about it. Tutal matagal na rin yun. Naka moved on na rin ako dun. Simulan natin mamayang 8 PM yung tutorials. Okay?






In the Dorm:

OFCOURSE! It bothers me. Ngayon na nakapag open up na siya sakin. Basically, parang naging isa rin ako sa mga sumira ng buhay ni Caleb.

Ash! Don't feel that way. Sa kanya na rin nang galing na okay na siya sa nangyari. Naka moved on na siya. So I think dapat ikaw naman ang magmove on about dun.

Ellie! Of course, hindi pa siya nakakamove on. Kasi kitang kita ko sa mga mata niya yung pinagdaanan niya.

Don't be upset, Ash. Alam mo ang sweet sweet nga niya eh. Hindi mo ba sa kanya tinanong kung gusto ka niya?

LAUREN!?!?!

What? I'm just curious. Kasi naman all this time he kept your picture. Imagine, may lalaki bang gagawa nun?

B-Bakit yung boyfriend mo hindi ba ginawa yun?

Nako! ASA KA PANG SWEET YUN! Ewan ko ba! Pero alam niyo girls, nakakaramdam ako ng kakaiba sa kanya eh.

Ay nako Lauren baka naman utot na naman yan ah!

Hindi! Seriously. Di ba minsan sabi nila trust your women's instinct. Kasi the past few weeks, iba talaga eh! Ibang iba talaga! Parang he's doing suspicious things!

Like ano?

Like we were supposed to meet last night pero sabi niya pagod daw siya sa practice sa basketball. Pero sabi naman ng coach niya nag attendance lang siya tapos umalis din!

Oh anong meron?

Duh Ellie! Don't you get it? Baka may iba siyang pinagkakaabalahan?!

Sabagay! Ganyan din yung ex ko before ko siya nahuling may katext na iba.

Huh?!?! Akala ko ba nagbreak kayo ng ex mo dahil magiibang bansa na?

Nung kami pa at di pa niya ako iniiwan.

Eh anong nangyari sa ex mo? NAHULI MO!?! Sino katext niya?

Uh... Eh... NANAY NIYA.

NYE?!?!?!!? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Ashley talaga joke time lagi.

Eh malay ko ba na nanay niya. Bago kasi yung number. Tapos puro I love you pa kasi.

See Lauren? Wag mo pairalin yang mga 1st instinct mo kung ayaw mo magaya kay Ashley.

Girls, you'll see what I mean! I swear. Yung glow sa mata niya, hindi naman siya ganun dati.

UY!!!! Wag ka ngang umiyak! Di pa tayo confirmed! Wag ka muna umiyak dyan. EASY LANG!




At yun! Nagiiyak ang gag*ng Lauren. Meanwhile at the "Paradise"





Hun, thank you for being there for me. Sana napapasaya kita kahit kalahati lang. Tatagal din kaya tayo?

I..uh..I don't know. I wish we would. Pero we both know that in the end somehow, you'll have to choose.

Lie About Us-Avant

He held my hand, Hun I'm really sorry. I just couldn't hide my feelings anymore. I know that I wasn't happy anymore. Pasensya ka na at kinailangan mo pang maging number 2.

H-hindi ko nga rin alam bat ako pumayag eh. Then tears rolled down to my eyes. I know what it feels like to be cheated. I know. My dad left my mom for that stupid mistress. My first boyfriend did that to me before. I never shared that to anyone but you. Ang tanga tanga ko lang, kinarir ko na din pati yung bagay na pinaka ayokong mangyari sa buhay ko. Kinarir ko na din ang pagiging kabit ko.

He hugged me. Shhhhh... Don't cry, you'll never feel this pain again. Hun, konting time lang. Please don't leave me. He kissed me on my forehead for a long time.









And I whispered, No I won't. Sana nga kayanin ko itong pinasok kong gulo. I was half depress and half okay. I felt safe being in Ralph's arms. Pero para lang talaga akong...@#$%^&^%$!!!!!!



In the Library

8:15 PM

Bonggang takbo ang ginawa ko para makaabot sa library para sa 2nd chance na tutorials ko with Caleb. Hingal na hingal akong dumating sa table namin.

Habang hinahabol ko yung hininga ko.... S-S-Sorry Caaaaleb. Ah--Ano kasi...

Oh? Late ka.

Y-y-yun na nga sinasabi ko. Pasensya na talagahaaaaa.

Sige upo ka na. Let's start.

START AGAD?!?! Grabe!!!! Parusa na ba ito? Grrrrrrr.... Nako Caleb kung di ka lang....Ano...Uh... FINE! CUTE... Sinigawan siguro kita ulit. I grabbed my notebook and my book in my bag biglang may naramdaman ako...Totoo ba ito?? Sabay pinupunasan ni Caleb ng the same hankerchief ko yung noo ko dahil gripo lang naman ang pawis ko. I smiled at him and he smiled back at said, Thank you. Alam mo kung ganyan ka ng ganyan, gaganahan talaga ako magreview eh!

He looked puzzled, Mas okay kung di ka late para maaga tayo matapos ha.
  He winked at me.
