"Macha po, that's all. Thank you" I said.
I just wait for a few minutes then grab my drink and I was supposed to walk away when my phone chimes.
Cara:
Hi!! We're here sa E-Cafe, just go here and we'll wait for you.
Niyakap ko ang mga dala kong libro bago umalis papunta sa cafe kung nasaan ang mga kaibigan ko.
May mga nakasalubong akong mga kaklase at kakilala pero tinanguan ko lang sila dahil hindi ko alam kung paano ba dapat akong mag r-react sa ganitong situation kasi kung ngingiti naman ako parang pilit lang at kung papantayan ko naman ang energy ng pagbati nila mag mumukha lang akong plastic that's why I'm just being myself than fake it.
I used to be like this Kaya hindi na katakataka na wala akong maraming kaibigan and I never wish to have one though, it will just drain me.
I went to the table where Cara and Claire is, they've ordered some red velvet cakes and drinks while they were gossiping the table behind us.
"Manliligaw ni Sarah si Jed, 'di ba?" Tanong ni Cara.
"Sa pagkaka alam ko, Yes" Claire answered.
"Then why may kasama siyang babae? Kasama pa si Enzo?" Cara sighed.
"Kasama lang but they didn't do anything like Landian or something" I said then I sipped my drink.
"Well, touché" Cara answered while she eat her cake.
"Should I tell Sarah about this?" Claire said with a worried tone.
I looked at her with crossed arms.
"Why would you? Besides he never do anything, naka upo lang siya at malayo sa mga babae while minding something on his phone. Another point is that this isn't our business to begin with. They're only our classmates, but that doesn't mean we should get engaged in their relationships."
"Touché again" Cara said.
Claire sighed and stared minding her own food while we talked about are essays.
An hour passed and kailangan na naming bumalik sa school para sa last 2 hours na subject namin sa TNCT.
"Kahit gawin pang 4 hours ni Sir Gelo yung time niya hindi ako magsasawang makinig sakaniya" Cara said with full of excitement.
"Same! And so far siya lang yung pinaka considerate na teacher natin" Claire said.
I just nodded my head and smile when they say something funny or amusing for me.
When are class ended, Cara and Claire still can't get over about our lessons.
"Kahit ano namang piliin natin sa Tama at mabuti palaging may pantapat si Sir" Ani Cara.
"True! He always used the word invalidating that's why hesitant akong sumagot, sayang points" Claire said.
"How about you Clauwi?" Cara asked.
"Well I'm still stuck with his 9 to 10 principles" kibit balikat kong sagot.
They both laughed at my answer.
Mag-isa akong naglalakad sa isang kanto na binabaan ko galing sa jeep, malapit Ito sa barangay namin.
People here would occasionally laugh and make me feel unworthy of the things I have since we aren't wealthy enough to send me to one of the best private schools in our province, but since my life and dreams are more important than their opinions, why should I care?
Iniingatan ko na hindi mabasa ang loafers ko dahil kahit kaya namang mag provide ng parents ko may responsibility pa rin ako na alagaan ang mga binibigay nila.
When I was at our gate and I passed by, by my Lola, I felt nothing but coldness, and because I'm used to it, I didn't mind.
Pumasok ako sa aming bahay at deresyo ako agad sa aking kwarto. Everything is neatly organized, my bed is clean, as are my pillows, and my room is white with a touch of pastel pink.
I was about to take a shower and change when I hear a noise.
May tunog ng kalabog a pagka basag sa aming sala kaya dali-dali akong lumabas ng kwarto and Suddenly, I found my mother's hands were bleeding, and my father was standing at the door, getting ready to go, when he saw me. His shock and fear continued to be visible in his eyes until he left us.
Dinaluhan ko ang aking ina na agad kumuha ng panlinis at paulit-ulit na sinabing okay lang siya hanggang mawala siya sa paningin ko at alagaan mag-isa ang sarili niya sa kwarto.
A tear escape in my eyes as I closed the door of my room, agad kong pinunasan 'yon dahil alam kong hindi iyon ang kailangan ko ngayon.
I'm literally mad. Even though I sometimes feel frustrated with trying to convince my mother to leave my abusive father, there are moments when I also try to understand her and her situation. Every time my father beats my mother, he apologizes and swears never to do it again the next morning. My mother always believes him, and the cycle repeats itself.
How I wish I were with someone, and that someone would be my brother.
