BEHIND THOSE PRETTY FACES

CHAPTER 7

RELLE's POV

Ang bilis lumipas ng mga araw. Pasukan na naman ngayon at sobrang nakakabored. Maghapon lang kasi kami nagstay sa bahay nung kahapon. Nakakatamad kasing lumabas eh. Naglalakad na kami papunta sa room nang may humarang sa dinadaanan namin. Bakit ba ayaw nila kaming tigilan?

"Oh! The bitches are here."

"Are you defining yourself?" Mataray na tanong ni Resse.

"OF course not. Kayo yun nuh?!" Yung mukhang leader ng mga slut ang nagsalita with a DUH-tone.

"Really? How come?" This time si Gie naman ang nagsalita.

"Let's go. Don't waste our time with them." Magsisimula na sana akong maglakad ng sumigaw yung babaeng clown.

(Kanina Slut, Clown naman ngayon Relle? Ano ba talaga?)

Ganyan talaga Ms. Cutie Author. Ang mga tulad nila, maraming pwedeng maging nicknames, you know.

"COWARD!!!" As I heard that word, hindi ko na mapigilan ang galit ko.

"SH*T!!!" I heard Rheign cursed but no one can stop me now. Isa sa mga pinakakaayawan kong salita yun.

I slowly come to that bitch who yell that stupid word. I wore my darkest aura. Halata sa kanya na natatakot na pero nagawa niya pa rin tumayo ng maayos. I gave her a smile, that creepy one. I touch her hair.

"Who are you calling a coward? Is it me? Oh wait, you're one of my classmates, am I right? How come you're taking Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering if you can't answer a simple equation? Is it just because of your so-called "connections"?" I pushed and pinned her harder on the wall. "Don't dare to show your bitchy face to me again or else, you will not like what I'm going to do. Let me handle telling the administrator of this school that you will quit and do you want me to accompany you telling your parents?" Heto na yata ang pinakamahabang speech ko as far as I remember ah.

"N-no. I-I c-can han-dle it." At tumakbo na siya. She looks really scared. I look at her friends at ayun, kumaripas na rin ng takbo. I gave all the students watching us a death glare. Dali-dali naman silang nagsialisan. Tsk!!! Magaling lang sila sa salita.

"I thought you'll explode here." Resse said in relief.

"Gustong-gusto ko sana but I chose not. Mahirap na." Tumango naman sila. Mukhang nagets naman nila yung dahilan ko.

"That's the best speech you had girl. I'm very proud of you." Gie said then laugh. Napailing na lang ako sa kanya. Nagsimula na akong maglakad at sumunod naman sila sakin papunta sa room. Pagkarating namin dun, I buried my face in the desk to calm myself.

Mayamaya, dumating na rin yung professor namin kasabay yung tatlong palaka daw sabi ni Resse. VIP lang? Tsk!!! Nakinig na lang ako ng lesson namin for today.

JASPER's POV

Another boring school day for us. Hindi pa kasi masyado mahihirap ang lessons kasi kakaumpisa lang ng pasukan last week. Tsk!!! Habang naglalakad kami papunta sa room, hindi namin maiwasang marinig ang mga bulungan. Tinawag pang bulong eh ang lakas naman ng pag-uusap nila. Pakinig nga namin, di ba? Talaga nga naman.

"Grabe, nakakatakot talaga siya."

"Sinabi mo pa. yung mukha niya nung ngumiti, parang nakita mo na rin si Lucifer."

"Hinding-hindi ako lalapit sa kanila. Pasalamat na lang yung babae at yun lang ang natanggap niya."

"Kung ako yun, lilipat na talaga ako ng school." Yun na lang ang narinig namin dahil tumunog na ang bell.
