Class 4-6 - Book 1 (PUBLISHED ON POP FICTION 2018)

CHAPTER 9: The POPU Girls (EDITED)

Date: 07/23/2018

*THIRD POV*

Mayaman, maganda, cheerleader, at leader ng pinakasikat na group, ang POPU Girls. The only girl who suits Marion Gatcheco. Yan si Monique Ashley Jalandoni.

Kasama niyang nagchichismisan ang dalawa niyang "kaibigan" na sina Hazel at Loraine tungkol sa bagong girlfriend ni Vince, ang so-called playboy ng campus.

"Grabe!! Masisira na talaga ulo ko sa mga yun!!" sigaw ng teacher nila na si Mr. Cruz sa may corridor.

"Ano bang klaseng utak meron yung dalawang yun??! Sobrang talino ni Ms. Karissa at Mr. Marion! Hindi na ako magtataka kung sila ang magaagawan bilang Top 1! Ayoko na dito!"

"Monique, narinig mo ba yun?" tanong ni Hazel. Hindi niya ito pinansin.

"So it means, si Karissa yung nababalitang girl student sa Class 4-6?" singit naman ni Loraine. Kung minsan talaga, hindi maintidihan ni Monique kung slow lang sila talaga o sadyang para silang tape recorder. But she has to deal with them, they are the only minions she gets and they can sometimes be really useful. Sometimes.

"Can you stop asking questions with obvious answers? You guys are pissing me off! Do you really think I'll even answer any of that?"

"I'm sorry Monique. We didn't mean it..."

"Okay well, napupuno na ako diyan kay Karissa ah. Talaga bang gusto niya ako palitan sa trono? At hindi lang ako, pati na din si Marion. Hello?! Nananaginip yata siya. Hinding-hindi ako makakapayag."

"Wait lang, Monique... What do you mean na papalitan ka ni Karissa sa trono mo at ni Marion?" Oh dear Hazel, here we go again.

"Okay. I'll explain it to you because you're so stupid and well, I'm kind enough. Pinapalitan lang naman niya ako bilang 'most popular girl sa campus.' Take note, dito pa sa bagong school natin. That bitch. And about Marion, pinapalitan lang naman niya si Marion as Top 1 of this school. Do you now understand? "

"Oh, I see. I'm starting to hate her."

"You must."

"What do you mean, Monique?" tanong ni Loraine.

"Well, what do you think?"

"I, for one, smell something fishy. May balak ka no?" sabi ni Hazel.

"And for once in your life, you are right. I do have a plan."

"So, what is it?"

"Oh, you'll see."

Insert evil laugh.

*KARISSA's POV*

Umagang-umaga may naririnig akong ingay habang papalapit ng room. Though, normal na sobra ang ingay sa room namin, ibang mga tao ito. At tama nga ako, sina Rayne at Clara lang ang may boses na kasing tinis nun. Pero kasama nila si Chris, bakit kaya?

"Sobrang yaman naman niya!"

"Sinong mayaman?"

"IKAW!!!" Okaaaaay, medyo sira na ang eardrums ko ah? Nakalunok ba sila ng megaphone?!

"Masakit yun ah! Teka nga, Rayne? Ciara? Ano to?"

"Ayy, sorry sis. Nagkkwentuhan kasi kami..." sinimulan ni Rayne.

"Dumaan kasi yung POPU girls tapos syempre nilait namin. Tapos parang kabute kung sumulpot itong si Chris – "

"Gwapo naman. Gwapong kabute."
