CHAPTER THREE
"Mukhang may announcement nga ah?"
May commotion dito sa hallway. Lahat nakatingin sa LCD screen, bale ito yung bulletin board. Naki-usi na kami ni Beanna. Nakatingin? sakin? yung mga students. Why? Ah-ah. Hindi! Baka kay Beanna sila nakatingin. Nakasuot lang naman kasi tong bestie ko ng labas-pusod at "ooh-aah". But, I admit it. She's reallyhot! >_< Sino ba namang di mapapatingin sa kanya?
Lumapit kami sa LCD, then naghulasan yung mga tao. Okayyyy. What's happening? o.O
"Domus Academy's Must-know Students." Napatingin ako sa screen nung pagkabasa non ni Beanna. Then, may nag-flash na picture ng isang girl, with infos below it.
"Ayeena Forster--the heiress of Forster Enterprises..."---blah blah blah.
May mga ganito-ganito pala sa school na'to. Ang dam---
"Coco, coco." Naputol yung pag-iisip ko nung kinalabit ako ni Beanna.
"Look."
Oh. Picture ko yan ah? Wow! Naka-pink tank top pa'k--- WHAT? That's me?!!! What the heck is going on here?!!!
Parang tumigil yung pagtibok ng puso ko nung nag-appear pa yung name ko sa screen---CORNELIA ANTONIETTE PRESTON.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
[Beanna's POV]
"Coco, coco." Ow-em! Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali. Kahit anong angle ko tingnan, siya talaga 'to. Siya talaga! :o
"Look." Tinuro ko yung screen without looking at it. Dahan-dahan siyang lumingon and...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Shocks! Nawalan ng malay 'tong bestie ko. What should I do? Ah-ah!
"Coco! Coco! Wake up naman, oh!"
Okay. No choice. Kailangan ko talaga siyang buhatin. Naka-harang na kami dito sa hallway pero walang napansin sa'min. Err! Invisible lang ah?
"Ambigat mo naman, Coco! Ahh!" >__<
Inakay ko siya hanggang sa clinic. Grabe! Wala man lang tumulong sa'kin! What's wrong with all of you?! Grr! XC
"She'll be okay. Hintayin na lang natin na magising siya. You can stay here while you wait."
Umalis na yung nurse, pagkatapos niyang i-check up si Coco. Na-stressed lang siguro si Coco. Masyado siyang nag-freak out. Pero kahit naman ako, naloka din. Hanggang dito napasundan talaga siya ni Tito Marco. She's still caged. Puppet pa rin siya ng daddy niya. :(
"Bebe?"
"Uy, Coco! Buti naman nagising ka na."
"What happened, Bebe? Bakit ako nandito?"
"Eh kas--" Di pa ko halos nakakasimula magsalita, parang na-relieve na yung neurons niya, at naalala na ang lahat.
"Ahhhhh! Kill me! Kill me now!"
"Coco--"
"AH! Bakit ba hanggang dito, susundan nila 'ko?! Bebe, I thought I'm so over of bing a Preston."
"Coco, akala ko ba nag-usap na kayo ni Tito Marco?"
"Akala ko rin, Bebe. Ugh!"
Itinakip niya yung unan sa face niya, then sumigaw! For a moment, sobrang naging tahimik. Nakaramdam ako ng awa for my bestfriend. Hindi na nga naman talaga fair yun para sa kanya.
Bigla siyang bumangon, and c-in-ompose yung sarili niya. She smiled sarcastically.
"Okay. Mukhang di ko na talaga natatakasan 'to. Okay. Let's play, Daddy! I'll play the role of the perfect daughter. I'll be a true Preston from now on."
Biglang nag-iba na naman yung emotion niya. Alam kong nasasaktan pa rin siya sa mga nangyayari. But... what is she planning?
"Coco---"
"Bebe, una na'ko. I'm sorry. I want to go home and rest."
'Hatid na kita."
"Thanks, Bebe. Pero next time na lang siguro. Masyado na kitang naaabala. Thank you talaga, bestfriend!"
"You're welcome, Coco."
"Ok. See ya tomorrow, bebe."
[Cotton's POV]
Nag-goodbye na'ko kay Beanna, then umalis na. Uwi na'ko! I just can't stay long in this place! Pero teka, hindi ko alm kung saan ako dadaan. Arr! Malas talaga oh! >__<
Naglakad na lang ako ng naglakad ng di alam kung saan pupunta, hanggang sa nakarating na'ko sa info desk. Umupo ako malapit doon at tinawagan na si Kuya Ams para sunduin na'ko.
"Ah, Miss Preston, bakit po kayo nandyan? Dito na po kayo umupo, oh."
OA na sa bait 'tong si ate. Sabi na eh! Kanina pa lang pagkasabi ko ng name ko, may iba na'kong na-feel. At yung chauffeur ko kanina? Kaya pink yun kasi para sa'kin talaga yun! AH! 'Di ako natutuwa!
"No thanks." I said coldly, bilang sagot dun sa alok niya.
"Uhhm. Fine Arts student ka po diba?"
Please! Stop saying "po". I'm not that old, you know? She then, gave something to me; a flyer.
"Miss, there'd be an exhibit for Fine Arts students on Friday. The other details are typewritten there."
Kinuha ko yung flyer, then umalis na siya. Tiningnan ko lang yung papel pero walang pumapasok sa utak ko. Deadbol na ata mga neurons ko eh. Basta ko na lang isinuksok yung flyer sa bag ko.
After nang ilang minutes ng paghihintay, dumating na si Kuya Ams. Nag-stop yung SUV sa tapat ko. Nag-open yung door sa backseat, tinapon ko yung bag ko paloob, then I jumped in. Binagsak ko yung likod ko sa sandalan. I let it lay down there then... Inhale... Exhale... Breathe in... Breathe out. Hayyy! +_+ I plugged my earphones then scanned my IPod. Scroll. Scroll. Touch.
♫-NOW PLAYING: What The Hell by Avril Lavigne-♫
Na-sting yung eardrums ko sa introduction ng song, pero I loved the way it strucked my ears. Parang nasa ibang mundo ako. Para akong nasa live concert.
♫- You say that I'm messing with your head
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
All 'cause I was making out with your friend
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love hurts whether it's right or wrong
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can't stop, 'cause I'm having too much fun-♫
Sobrang nadala ako sa song na I raised my hands ang swayed into the beat. W-in-ip whip ko pa yung hair ko. Natanaw ko sa rear view mirror si Kuya Ams na parang pinipigil yung tawa. Napatawa na rin lang ako bigla then may sinabi siya, pero 'di ko naman narinig. I turned up the volume up to its maximum. Feeling ko may heavy duty speakers na nakatapat sa tenga ko.
♫-You're on your knees
Begging "please stay with me"
But honestly I just need to be a little crazy!
All my life I've been good, but now
Oh I'm thinking what the hell!
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about
If you love me
If you hate me
You can't save me, baby, baby
All my life I've been good, but now
Woah what the hell!
What? What? What? What the hell!-♫
"Owoowoowoow. What the Hell!"
♫-So what if I go out on a million dates?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You'll never call or listen to me anyway
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd rather and sit around and wait all day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't get me wrong, I just need some to play
You're on your knees
Begging "please stay with me"
But honestly I just need to be a little crazy! (crazy!)
All my life I've been good, but now
Oh I'm thinking what the hell!
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about
If you love me
If you hate me
You can't save me, baby, baby
All my life I've been good, but now
Oh what the hell!-♫
Parang nakalimutan ko lahat while I'm into the song. Na-relieve lahat ng bugnot ko. Lahat ng stress, na-release. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam! :D
♫-La, la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la...
Woah...woah...woah...woah
You say that I'm messing with your head, boy
I like missing in you man, yeah
I am messing with your head
When I'm messing with you in bed-♫
Nung medyo napagod na'ko, humiga na'ko doon sa backseat. Na-occupy ko yung lahat ng space. Inabot ko yung paa ko sa ceiling then yung yun m-in-ove move ko habang nagpi-play yung song.
♫-All my life I've been good, but now
Oh I'm thinking what the hell! (what the hell)
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about (don't care about)
All my life I've been good, but now
Oh I'm thinking what the hell!
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about (if you love me)
If you love me- no
If you hate me- no
You can't save me, baby, baby (if you love me)
All my life I've been good, but now
Oh what the hell!
La, la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la...-♫
"Hooooooooo!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, then narinig kong tumawa si Kuya Ams. T-in-une down ko yung volume, and umalis na'ko doon sa concert na pinuntahan ko kanina. ^_^ Hoho!
"Hooooooooo!! Kuya, sigaw ka rin! Hoooooooo!!"
"Haha! Hooooooo!!"
Aba! Sumigaw nga? Haha! Etong gusto ko kay Kuya Ams eh. Mabait talaga. Twelve years na rin namin 'tong driver si Kuya kaya close ko na talaga. Sa totoo lang, mas close ko pa yung mga kasambahay kaysa sa mga parents ko eh. >_<
Siguro, gets na ni kuya na stressed out ako kaya pinagbigyan niya na'ko. Four songs pa yung p-in-lay ko then nakarating na kami sa bahay. Medyo malapit din lang yung bahay sa school, kaso sa labas ng subdivision yung academy. Mga fifteen to twenty minutes yung travel time.
"Miss Cotton, dito na po."
Bumangon na'ko then inayos yung bag ko. Lalabas na sana si Kuya Ams para pagbuksan ako pero pinigilan ko na siya.
"Ako na po, Kuya! Salamat sa paghatid."
Bumaba na'ko ng kotse then dumeretso na'ko sa bahay. Nakita ako agad ni Yaya, at binati ako.
"Oh, Cotton. Bakit ang aga mo?"
"Wala pang classes, ya."
"Oh, nag-meryenda ka na?"
"No thanks, yaya. Pagod po ako. Rest po muna ako."
"Ah, sige. Katukin na lang kita pag mag-di-dinner na."
"Opo."
Sinara ko na yung pinto, at ni-lock yun. Nagpalit na'ko ng pambahay, tas binagsak ko yung sarili ko sa kama. Buti na lang sumakto yung bagsak ko. Kadalasan kasi, sa headboard tumatama yung ulo ko. Haha! XD
"Four o'clock pa lang pala."
Biglang nag-vibrate yung phone ko bago ap'ko makatulog.
**bzzzzzzt...bzzzzzzt**
~SIM1 received from Bebebest :)
/Coco, are you okay? I hope your fine. Room 407 ka, sa SOFA Bldg., Fine Arts Department, 10:00 am start niyo tomorrow. Rest ka na jan. Kita-kits. I love you. Muapx. :*
"Hayyyyy. Thanks, bestie.
T'was a very long day.. A long, and very stressful one.
Unti-unti na'kong inantok, then everything turned black. Brr! CANDY DREAMS! ^_^
