The day I fell out of love

Chapter 1

-----

I gently touched my face with my right index finger where I could feel the bulge of red and slightly swollen pimples that grew on the left-side of my nose. I looked at its reflection in a mini mirror I was holding without any drops of emotion. I don't know why something grew again while I just got rid of my pimples mark the other day.

"Good morning, Pres!" malakas at sabay-sabay na bati ng mga classmates ko sa Class President namin.

I just sighed out of boredom and didn't intend to give anyone a caring gaze because first of all I don't care. Wala na akong oras para bigyan sila ng pansin. Alam ko naman na halos lahat sa kanila ay ayaw sa kung ano'ng personality mayro'n ako. I'm not their friend because one like me is not in their vocabulary and I am forbidden to have fun with them.

"Rylie! Bumati ka!" Inis na sigaw ng classmate ko sa unahan.

Alam kong lahat sila ay nakatingin sa akin dahil ang iilan ay nakikita ko sa repleksyon nitong salamin. Hindi ganitong atensyon ang gusto ko. I do not know why it seems necessary that every time our president enters this room they always greet him. Hindi ko sila pinansin at pinagpatuloy na lang ang pagpindot sa pimples ko.

"Ang rude niya talaga!" I heard someone murmured but I just ignored them.

I just put my mini mirror back in my white pouch. I also slowly picked up my mint green colored earphones and place them on my ear. Nakaharap ako ngayon sa bintana at dinadama ang malamig na simoy ng hangin. I was sitting here at the back seat where next to me were empty seats because I didn't want anyone next to me and I knew they had no intention of being next to me because for them I was a eerie, spooky, and weird person.

Inayos ko ang butterflies kong clip na nakaipit sa magkabilang gilid ng aking buhok. The earphones that I'm wearing don't really have the sound, this is my only way for my classmates to leave me alone and stop bugging me. I want them to know that I am in peace and I do not have time for anyone.

"Pres, kailan tayo magpaplano para sa intrams? Anong business 'yung gagawin natin?" rinig kong tanong ng isa kong classmate.

Nanatili lang ang tingin ko sa aking pouch na nakapatong parin sa lamesa ko. I can feel a few eyes staring at me and I know the other reason non.

"Wait! What business?! Para saan 'yon?" walang alam na tanong ng President namin.

Of course, I was not surprise that he had no idea about it even though he was our president. He only became our President because his friends tricked him up.

"Sa entrepreneurship na subject!" one of my classmates inform him.

I heard our President's chuckled "Oh? Ano'ng ganap do'n?"

I just sighed boredly and stopped listening to them. I really don't want to listen but their voices are too loud. I am not an ordinary student because I will admit that I steer clear of people. but there is something in me that I want them to notice me even though this is the habit I have. I want to mingle with them and enjoy. I want to feel appreciation and love from the people around me without forcing them.

"We're groupmates!" natatawang sigaw nitong President namin bago umupo sa bakanteng upuan sa tabi ko.

I stared at him like he did the biggest mistake in his life but to my surprise he just gave me a playful smile and winked annoyingly. Walang emosyon kong tinanggal ang earphone ko at tinaasan siya ng kilay. Sobra ang kalabog ng dibdib ko habang binabalik ang earphone sa loob ng aking pouch. I was nervous not because of who he was but because of what he was.

Parang ngayon ang pagkakataon upang masuri ko ang kabuuan niya. His eyes are quite narrow and his eyelashes are not very thick and long, tama lang. His black eyebrows were just the right thickness and not too thick. His nose is also sharp and pointed as if there are no whiteheads or blackheads. His lips has also have a curve but thin colored red.
