For days I have suffered mockery and bullying at nangunguna pa din dun sina Brianna.
I managed to keep my cool kahit pikon na pikon ako, baka lumala pa kasi pag pinatulan ko na.
It appears that I was indeed sent to the principal's office for questioning but I told them I had nothing to do with it.
Di ko naman siguro pwedeng sabihin na na nakipaglaban ako sa dalawang sampung taong gulang na assassins at sila ang may pakana sa pagpapasabog ng gusali. Magmumukha lang akong tanga at pagdudahan pa ako.
Konti naman ang tinanong nila sa akin and because of lack of evidence, I was off the hook apparently not in Angelo's eyes, mainit parin ang mata niya sa akin but luckily the rumors about me died down because they had a new primary suspect.
Base sa CCTV doon, may nakita daw silang isang kahina hinalang lalaki na nakashades na may dala dala na malaking bag papasok sa school and was also caught in camera heading to the path towards the 3 stooges' den lucky for me at walang CCTV on the buiding or near it. The guy was last seen exiting the gate without his bag the moment before I went home.
Wala akong kaedi-ediya sino ang lalaking yun o ano ang ginagawa niya doon but at least I was no longer involved anymore, bahala siyang madawit doon. Malas lang niya at nagkataong pumunta siya doon and took all the blame to himself, patuloy parin siyang pinaghahanap which sounds even more suspicious.
" Haaay buti nalang may sumalo sa problema mo Haru-chan, he was really on the wrong place on the wrong time but anyways at least the spotlight is not on you anymore "
She was right, the rumor about me did die down after they found a new suspect at natahimik na rin kami, no more glaring wherever I go, less murmurs heard, back to my so called normal boring life.
Nandito na naman kami sa cafeteria ang usual tambayan dahil likas na matakaw si Raven.
We are taking our break, wala si Cassiopeia since she still have class.
We were busy with busy eating nang may tumabi sa aming dalawa at naglapag ng tray.
" Hello Miss Haruka Furuyuki" said in a cheery voice
It was Venz and Claude, sila lang dalawa buti naman.
The one who greeted me was Venz, and I really don't know how the hell did he knew my name.
"Hi din sayo, girl who is so head over heels for me." pansin nito kay Raven. "Oh... baka naihi ka na diyan sa kilig ha" dagdag ulit ni Venz.
Agad naman namula si Raven pero hindi sa kilig, kundi sa galit pero mukhang iba ang pagkaintindi nun ni Venz.
"What do you want? " I said
Nagkatinginan silang dalawa
" Ahm... the thing is, we came here to apologize for what happened a few days ago, and we also want to make friends" He said at tumango tango lang si Claude.
"Tsaka humihingi din kami ng tawad para doon sa nangyari noon." sabi ni Venz na mukhang sincere naman.
"It's okay, I never really cared anyway. Besides its not you who really needs apologizing"
Nagkatingininan silang dalawa.
"No offense but wag ka nalang umasa kay Angelo, champion yun pagdating sa pride, sumisinghot kasi ng ariel, tide , surf at ano pang sabon panlaba eh pati ata zonrox di pinalagpas " napailing nalang ako sa kabaliwan niya
"P. S. wag mong sabihin na sinabi ko iyon, tigok ako pag nagkataon. " mahina niyang sabi tsaka inilibot yung mata niya sa paligid probably watching out his back after backstabbing his friend.
"Eherm, so can we be your friends? no scratch that, you will be our friends" Ibinaling ni Venz ang attention niya kay Raven.
" That includes you too stalker girl, you are given a chance that most girls are deprived of kaya pasalamat ka na sa lahat ng mga santong dinadasalan mo" sabay kindat sa kanya
"Peste to oh, Haru-chan pigilan mo nga ako at baka pasalamatan na ako ng mga tumatarget sa ugok na ito dahil ako mismo ang makakapatay sakanya" mahinang bulong niya sa akin hopefully hindi nila iyon narinig.
Di ko na siya pinansin.
"Why do you wanna be friends with us?"
" Simple lang, kasi trip namin. Apart from any girls, you guys are different" for the first time si Claude ang sumagot sa mga tanong ko.
"Oo nga and besides, we never saw someone stood up to Angelo like you do, Idol na talaga kita, tsaka you're hot just like me " singit ni Venz, which I think is referring to me.
Binaling na naman niya ang atensiyon niya kay Raven.
" Wag kang mag alala miss stalker girl, you look fine to me too" He looked at her, examining her. "Ugly but presentable and cup size A, pwede na rin. Any friend of Miss Haruka is our friend to. Friendly kasi kami, lalo na ako. By the way let us introduce ourselves to you formally"
Sinuklay niya muna yung buhok niya gamit ng kamay niya bago magsalita
"Ehem... I'm Venz Aston Yukumi at your service" he said and winked at us, more specifically to Raven.
"Claude Zaragoza" maikling sagot nito
"We already know Miss Haruka's name, ikaw miss stalker girl what's your name by the way?"
Raven's face was blank and he got no reply from her. Naiinis parin yata siya, walang planong pansinin si Venz.
Napakamot nalang ng batok si Venz.
"Grabe talaga ang naidudulot ng kagwapuhan ko, nakakaspeechless tsk tsk tsk" napailing pa siya.
I bet at this moment Raven was daydreaming a hundred ways to kill him in her head.
"Her name is Raven Dimagiba" I said boringly habang ipinagpatuloy ang aking pagkain
I heard a snort coming from Venz, ipinagpatuloy niya ang pagkain niya oblivious of the deadly glare Raven is giving him.
"Tatanungin ba niyo kami kung gusto namin kayo maging kaibigan?" biglang salita ni Raven.
Biglang napataas ng tingin ang dalawa.
"Well, you got no choice" simpleng sagot ni CLaude
"Yeah, kukulitin at kukulitin namin kayo hanggang sa pumayag kayo" binalingan nito si Raven. "...and stalker girl, kung di mo ako gustong maging kaibigan at higit pa doon ang habol mo, I am very sorry but you'll have to wait in line dahil as of now marami pang mga babaeng nakapila sa puso ko but don't worry I'll give you my VIP pass in time" sabi nito sabay kindat.
"Peste ka talagang ungas ka" narinig kong bulong ni Raven.
Nagpatuloy kami sa aming kinakain.
Damn akala ko tatahimik na ang buhay ko but then came another annoying crap. Venz can't really shut up his fucking mouth talking nonsense things, I could feel hundreds of deadly glares coming from majority of the girls in the cafeteria.
Raven was silently murdering her food and Claude was listening music through his earphones at tumatango tango na parang tanga. So you can pretty much imagine how my peaceful break turned out to be, note the sarcasm.
Pagkatapos ni Venz ikwento kung paano nagsex yung mga butiki sa kwarto niya at ng maubos yung pagkain namin we all went our separate ways.
When we got back to our room ay tinambangan kami ni Brianna and her minions.
Pinalibutan nila kami.
"Get the fuck out of our way" I said coldly pero mukhang hindi sila natinag and instead, she just raised her perfectly trimmed eyebrow at us.
"Who are you to tell us what to do huh, ang kapal talaga ng mga mukha ninyo, you're just losers, sluts to be exact, you don't have the right to talk and go near my Venz and my Claude kahit tingnan man sila di pwede, you disgusting losers don't deserve their existence" mahaba niyang litanya
"Sus, naiingit lang kayo dahil kami ang nilapitan at hindi kayo." singit naman ni Raven.
"Shut your cheap mouth, you ugly cheap probinsyana" She was gonna get her hands on Raven's hair ng biglang sumulpot si Mr. del Castaneda, our math teacher.
"All of you, get back to your seats this instant!" galit na singhal niya.
We silently went to our respective chairs pero may pabaon pang irap si Brianna.
