I'm Dating the Star

STAR'S POV

The cold wind blow my hair but because of that I can ignore the scorching hit of the sun in my skin. It's been 2 years since I walk in the silent backyard field of my own school. It was silence earlier but now as I further walk I could here some laughter that is irritated in my ears. 

Sinubukan kong hanapin kung saan nang gagaling ang matitinis na tawanan, my hands are in my back as I walk close from the sources of the noise. Dapat ay walang mga estudyante ngayun sa labas dahil oras ito ng klase.  

From the corner kung saan madalas nilalagay ang basura ng school bago ito kunin ng truck ay may tatlong babae ang nakapalibot sa isa pang babae na nakaupo sa drum na ginagawang basurahan. Dahil sa takip ng basurahan ay nakakaupo naman ito ng maayus. 

I can't imagine how they can tolerate the smell of the rotten trash here. Naka yuko ang babae na mayroong maiksing buhok habang ang tatlong babae na nakapalibot sa kanya ay patuloy na tumatawa habang pinag lalaruan ang bag ng babaeng nakaupo. This kind of sight is the most irritating that happend this morning. Hindi nila napansin ang pag lapit ko dahil sa pagtatawanan ng tatlong babae at dahil busy ang mga ito sa pag tatapon ng laman ng bag sa lupa. 

"Why didn't you just go home if you don't have classes right now?" I ask. The girl that was sitting on the drum slowly look up at stared at me, helpless, embarrassed and feel apologetic. I can't understand why she feel apologetic but I will not let this slide. 

"Jessy, si Miss Star." nakita na ako agad ng dalawang babae pero ang babae sa gitna nila that they call Jessy is still busy sa pag hahalungkat sa bag. 

"What's your name?" I ask the girl that I think been bullied by these three girls.

"Hannalyn Tuwazon po." she was shuttering and her voice sound so afraid to utter a word. 

"Did I give you permission to speak?" iniamba ni Jessy ang kamay sa ere at handang sampalin ang babae sa harapan niya, hindi na nito inisip na nasa gilid lamang nila ako. Nang ginalaw niya ang kamay at handa nang itama ang mga ito sa pisngi ng babae ay agad ko itong sinalag at hinawakan ko ang kamay niya. Nabitawan niya ang bag na hawak at syaka ako nilingon, napa atras naman ang babae sa gitna naming dalawa. 

"Miss Star. I didn't know your here?" she sounded confident and I don't even see in here that she was guilty on what she's doing. I didn't let her hand go at mas lalo ko pa itong hinigpitan, napangisi naman sa sakit ang babae dahil ginagawa ko sa kanya. 

Masyado na akong galit na nahihirapan na akong kontrolin ang lakas na binibitawan ng kamay ko. Kaya kong baliin ang risk niya gamit lamang ang kamay ko sa mga oras na ito. 

"Le...let my hand go. You're.. hurting me!" inda niya. I let her hand go at nakita niya ang pamumula ng kanyang pulsuhan dahil sa ginawa ko. 

"Look at what you did!" galit pa ito ng mapansin ang pamumula at dahil na din sa sakit na natamo niya. 

"Look at what you did to her and to her belongings." I said calmly. 

"What's your name? The three of you!" Nagkatinginan ang tatlo dahil sa tanung ko pero piniling sumagot ng dalawa. "I'm Lucy Meier" sagot ng babae sa dulo "Cindy Forter!" The girl beside me said.

Hindi naman gumagot si Jessy kahit pa nagsalita ang dalawa niyang kasama.

"And you?" I ask her. Masama niya akong tinignan sa mga mata bago sumagot. "Jessy Monte Mayor!" Mataray niyang sagot sakin.

"Miss Hannalyn Tuwazon please fix your self and go to my office. Sabihin mo kay Miss Ocampo that I told you to go there." Pinulot naman agad ni Miss Tuwazon ang mga gamit at binalik ito sa bag niya at syaka kami iniwan ng walang imik-imik.

"What was that miss Star?" Ngayun ay may lakas pa ng loob mag tanung sakin si Jessy na parang hindi natatakot sa maaring mangyari sa kanila.

"You three will go to my office also. Pag-uusapan natin ang mga offenses na ginawa ninyo!" I said firmly. Jessy cross her arms in her chest like she wasn't believe'n that I could do what I just said.

"Mukhang hindi mo ako kilala, Miss Star." She brag.

I walk closer to her and lean a little because she was smaller than me. "Yes, I don't and I don't care!" I smirk. Nainis naman siya sa ginawa ko at agad hinugot ang phone from the pocket of her jeans.

"Really? Let's see about that kapag nalaman ng daddy ko ang sinabi mo." She threaten me.

"Go on, I bet your dad will be glad to meet me. But I doubt he will be happy once he heard that I will full out all of my investment in his business." I smirk again. Nahinto naman si Jessy sa pag dial sa kanyang phone.

"Go on, I dare you!" Hindi na ito nakaimik dahil sa sinabi ko.

They followed me to my office, nasa sofa naman si Miss Hannalyn ng dumating kami, I hold the door para makapasok yung tatlo at masama naman nilang tinignan si Hannalyn bago tuluyang pumasok sa opisina ko. I lead them to my table at nilahad sa kanila ang tatlong bangko na nasa harapan ng table ko. Bumalik ako kay Miss Hannalyn to check on her. May pasa pala siya sa braso at sa gilid ng labi.

"Should I take you to the infirmary?" I ask her pero umiling siya agad.

"Thank you Miss Star, but I will soon prepare all my documents and I will transfer school." I felt sad on what she said pero wala din akong balak pigilan siya if that was she think is the right thing to do para makapag simula ng bago.

"I won't stop you, but I'm assuring you that I will make them pay." A small smile form in my lips. "You can leave now and take a rest."

Nang makaalis si Miss Hannalyn ay syaka ako bumalik sa tatlo. Umupo ako sa swivel chair at kumuha ako ng mga documents sa sulong ng table.

"What will happen to us now?" Malumanay at nahihiyang tanung ni Lucy.

"You will be punish according to your offenses." I simple answer.

"What kind of punishment?" Jessy once again sounded unbothered. I smile at her. Not a pleasant one but a threatening one.

"You have two choices, first lilipat na kayo ng school with a bad record from SAU or second you will doing community service for 2 months." Napakunot ang nuo nilang tatlo. Jessy was about to demand.

"Nalaman ko din na I'm investing sa mga family businesses ninyong tatlo, I will full that out. Either you like it or not." I added.

Hindi ko alam kung gaano na nila katagal binubully si Miss Hannalyn na ginusto nalang nito lumipat ng school. She was so exhausted and afraid to fight back.

"Bullying is one of my golden rule na nilabag ninyo. Kulang pa nga ito sa mga kasalanan ninyo. Kung ayaw ninyo ang community service for two months makakaalis na kayo sa school ko with a bad record at posibleng mahirapan na kayong makahanap ng malilipatang school. Yun ay kung aalis kayo ng bansa para mag-aral, baka makapag-aral pa kayo." Hindi muli sila sumagot. I waited patiently sa mapipili nilang gawin.

"I will choose community service and Miss Star please don't full out your investment. Papatayin ako ng daddy ko." Pakiusap ni Cindy.

"I will think about it kapag natapos na ninyo ang community service. How about the two of you? What is your decision?" Isang malalim na Buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ni Jessy.

"I will also choose to do that community service!" She rolled her eyes.

"Same goes to me." Lucy also agreed. Pinirmahan ko ang tatlong papel at syaka ito inabot sa kanila.

"Sign that paper." Hinablot naman ni Jessy ang isa at marahang kinuha naman ng dalawa ang natirang papel.

Kumuha ng walang sabi-sabi si Jessy ng ballpen sa lagayan ko na nasa ibabaw ng lamesa. It didn't bothered me. Kapag natapos nila ang 'community service' ay mababago din ang ugali niya.
