Campus Heartthrobs! Girls VS Boys - Knowing Each Other (REVISED)

Chapter 10 - Traumatized

"Ate Nicole, I could still remember how you teased my brother. Ugly Jerk? Pwede ring Ugly Stupid Monster." Natatawang banggit ni Josh. Napailing na rin ako.

"Kumpara sa kanya at kay Gian, mas Monster si Gian." I mentioned. Naalala ko kasi ang ginawa niya kay Mika. Which is unforgivable, but we settled things out. I know he followed AJ's orders. Kaya in the end, si AJ pa rin ang pinakamalaking gago si storya. Bukod sa matalino at maparaan siya, he's still the biggest jerk. (English translation lang alam ko.)

"May gusto ka kay Kuya Gian?" tanong ni Josh. Ginulo ko naman ang buhok niya. At nakita ko kung paano napatingin si Mika sa akin, si Steph naman ay kausap lang si Maycee.

Mika looked at me with cautious eyes. Para bang... hinihintay niya kung si Mayor Digong ang mananalo sa presidency. Ganon. The eyes which placed me on the seat of curiousness.

"Madalas kaming napa-partner sa isa't isa. But that doesn't mean I like him." I answered, at sa peripheral vision ko ay napa-buntong hininga si Mika.

I know how to play this game.

"But who knows? I might eventually like him." Dagdag ko. Again, Mika looked at me.

Nahuli ka na, Aguilar. Halatang-halata.

So mukhang hindi ako ang uunang puputol sa tradisyon?

Nakarating na kami sa likod ng school, at doon nakita namin si AJ. He was busy with some things I don't know. Are those cartolinas? Mukhang may masipag rin na side ang panget na gagong 'to.

Napapadalas na rin ang pagmumura ko. Should I pray over to the so called Hong Jisoo? Ah, madalas siyang bukang bibig ng mga kababaihan sa school. I did my research too.

Research? Diba sinusuot 'yon pantaas? (T-shirt 'yon, gaga.)

"USM!" I yelled out his name, which made Steph and the remaining gals look at me. Kahit ako at nagulat sa pagsigaw ko. Napatingin naman si autistic sa akin. He was also in his eye glasses. Aba, manggagaya.

Sabagay, Nicole, ikaw lang ba ang dapat naka-eye glasses sa school na 'to? 'Wag kang selfish.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, jumping from the stage.

Ay, ninja?

"Bawal ba? You don't own the place." I retorted back.

"Hindi ikaw, hot Pres. Sila Josh ang tinatanong ko. Pero sige, ganyan ka ka-possessive eh." Tila nalukot ang ekspresyon ko. My brows twitched in annoyance.

"Ugly jerk." I mumbled, balling my fists. Bwisit siya.

"Ate Nicole's touring us. As AA's consistent Student Council President." sagot ni Maycee. She must've noticed the atmosphere.

"Is that so. The other reason's to see me right? Ganyan mo talaga ako ka-mahal, Pres 'no?" Hangal talaga 'to. Nagtagis naman ang akong bagang. Ilang description na ba ang naihahalintulad ko dito?

"Don't talk to me, ugly jerk."

"Ang ganda naman ng call sign niyo." Sumulpot ang isa pang gago, ang pinsan ko. Isa pa 'tong autistic eh. Nakita ko naman kung papaano ang pagtadyak ni Steph sa kanya. It wasn't because he surprised her, but it was because of his taunting actions. And I admit, t'was effective. Pinalalabas niya ang kasamaan sa katawan ko.
