Chapter 5

"Hindi ka sasama kina Adi?" Tanong ni Clarke sa akin.

Bigla na lang kasi akong nakikain sa table nila.

"Nope," sabi ko sa kanila.

"Why?" Jonas asked with an amused smirk plastered on his face.

Linunok ko muna ang kinakain ko bago magsalita. "Simple. I don't like them," diretsahan kong sagot.

Especially kay Ava. Argh!

Buong araw ko silang kasama kahapon. Pinagbigyan ko sila. But, I don't like them. At kahit anong pilit ko ng sarili ko, hindi ko talaga kaya.

May mga tao talagang ayaw mo, 'no? Kahit anong pilit mong gustuhin at pakisamahan sila, hindi mo masisikmura. Parang isusuka mo na, pipilitin mo pang lunukin?

At nalaman ko rin ang rason kung bakit ayaw ng iba silang banggain.

They are fucking composed of the influential and popular people in school. Even the basketball players are sort of one of them.

Adison is the student body president.

Ava is the secretary and a cheerleader.

And guess what? She's a cougar! Pinatulan niya si Jared. Kaedaran nila si Czar tapos ang nakababatang kapatid pa talaga ang nilandi ha!

Gross!

Mara is the daughter of this school's architect and they are really close with the professors.

Bea is the brightest of them all. Teacher's pet, perhaps?

They're all seniors.

They're all having gross personalities!

Adi always use her influence to bully people.

Ava is that flirty chick. Pati nga freshmen nilalandi niya. Isa na doon si Jared!

Mara is the rule breaker. Kung hindi lang siguro malakas ang pamilya niya sa mga teachers dito. Matagal na siya na-kick out!

Bea is a goodie-two-shoes. But, she's a liar. Siya ang creative pagdating sa tsismis. Iniiba niya ang kwento eh!

Saka ayaw ko iyung marami kami. Plastikan rin naman iyan eh. Siyempre marami kayo and there'll be groups within that group.

They are open for betrayals, hipocrisy and all sorts of worthless issues.

"Why?" Kumunot ang noo ni Ken.

"Hindi ko sila feel," sagot ko. "Why are you pushing me to them?"

"We just want you to have girl friends," sabi ni Czar.

Napairap ako. "I surely can find my own."

"Si Jhoanne? Siya ang gusto mong kaibigan? Am I right?" Umigting ang panga ni Jared.

What is his problem with my decisions?

"Yes, you are," sabi ko at ngumuso.

Ang gwapo niya pero dahil sa ugaling ipinakikita niya sa akin, nakakairita!

"How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn't go near her?" Sininghalan niya ako.

"And do I have to repeat this to you, that I don't like those four? Especially your cougar girl," angal ko.

Nanahimik silang lahat tila nabigla sa binitawan kong mga salita.

"And why are you even here?!" Nagtiim-baga siya.

"Alangan naman maging loner ako. I don't like Adi and her friends. Hindi niyo naman ako pinapayagan kay Jhoanne. Kaya sino ako pwedeng sumama?!"

This guy is hopeless! Ano ba talaga ang problema niya?!
