CHAPTER THREE

Eya’s POV

Ah. Good morning~ So, here I am, getting ready for school today. Haaay… Kung ako ang tatanungin nyo, nabilisan ako sa pagdaan ng mga araw, lalo na nitong nakaraang linggo. Vacation is finally over at panahon na para pumasok ulit BUT I’m not totally bummed out, really. In fact, I’m quite happy because at long last makikita ko na ulit si Jhake Wayne Dy, my dream boy and one and only love. Heartthrob din siya sa school namin, just like Tyler Keith Gregory. Best friends nga yung dalawang yun’ i. Paano ba naman kasi, parehas silang dakilang SNOB sa mga girls at naku, talaga namang pagkalamig-lamig kung makitungo sa amin! God… minsan nakaka-frustrate na.

OKAY. Enough. Nag da-drama na naman ako.

Alright, Ms. Eya, just look at yourself on the mirror one last time… As I tried to end my thoughts about my still unrequited love for my dream boy sa ngayon, tiningnan ko ulit ang sarili ko sa salamin para lang ma-check kung kumpleto na ba ang look ko for today. Malay natin di ba? Baka sakaling ngayong araw na ako mapansin ni Wayne my Love ko… pero grabe, imposible lang talaga…

One, he’s goddamn cold-hearted to every girl in our class, malamang pati na sa lahat ng sang-kababaihan sa buong school.

Two, iskolar lang naman ako kasi nga I just love to keep my true self a secret habang naglalaro pa ko’. I need a solid disguise kung pangangatawanan ko itong ginagawa ko…

And lastly, para sa kaalaman ng lahat, ang tinutukoy kong ‘pinangangatawanan’ ko ay ang pagpapanggap ko bilang isang NERD sa school.

ARGH! Gosh, na-depress na naman ako dahil sa pag-iisip kay Wayne my Love and the impossible circumstances surrounding us both! Sabi na nga kasing titingnan ko lang ang sarili ko sa salamin for the last time just to check if I dressed myself properly e… Haaaaaay… alright, eto na talaga.

I blinked my eyes several times and slightly shook my head to clear all unnecessary thoughts and then finally saw myself properly on my mirror.

Beautiful face equipped with nerdy glasses? ALWAYS CHECK.

Cute uniform? Check again.

And as I was beginning to smile sweetly on my own reflection para lang i-check din kung sakto na ba ang I e-exude kong charm for today’s class, bigla namang nag-ring ang door bell. Haaaay… ano ba naman to’, maka-interrupt sa morning session ko! Napaparami tuloy ang buntong-hininga ko, take note, wala pa ako sa school nito ha, kumo-quota na ko’.

Exasperated and a little drained already kahit na magsisimula pa lang ang araw ko, I went to the door to see who on earth is visiting me. Nang tuluyan ko nang mabuksan ang pinto, natigilan ako at nablangko panandalian ang isip ko. What greeted me there on my very doorstep where literally, Men in Black. No joke. Muntikan ko nang kuhanin mula sa skirt pocket ko yung mobile phone ko and i-dial yung police hotline nang batiin ako ng isa sa kanila, yung pinaka-leader nila.

“Good morning Ms. Eya. Pardon our intrusion.”The man said, bowing in respect. It was a gruff and very, very familiar voice. It took me two seconds tops para ma-realize na si Mr. Kim pala ito with his pack of black-clad body guards.

Mga alalay ni Maddi.

Maryosep.

Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. Of course, I should have expected this happening since nahandito si Maddi. Talaga naman ang best friend ko, over the top ang life style kahit na nagpapaka-simple lang talaga siya. I bowed back in response and also, in greeting to Mr. Kim. We both straightened ourselves and I could not help the soft laugh which escaped my mouth, matagal-tagal na rin kasi simula nang magkita ulit kami nitong ever-loyal na tagapangalaga ni Maddi. Since Maddi and I go way back with our friendship, magkakilala na rin kami ni Mr. Kim, and it’s really good to see him in good health.
