Haters turns to lovers

Chapter 10

Love is Like A hell

I wrote it on a piece of paper i'm waiting for Sachie to come i'm alone here not literary alone they're here hindi naman ako close sa kanila nandito yung grupo ni samantha at yung grupo niya tatlong klase ko ang kasama sila doon ang alam ko two hours lang siya sa school. Bakit ngayon nandito siya?

I feel nervous now because I saw Sachie widely smiling she doesn't smile me like that and if she do that she has agenda to me or something she wants me to do.

"Okay, Class meron tayong magaganap na pageant titled Mr and Ms. Entrep and may napili si Ms. Dela Cruz para Ms Entrep niyo" sabi ng prof.

"Sachie, sino yung napili mo?" tanong ko.

Now I am doing the dare seriously.

"And that is Ms. Rivera"

Nagulat ako sa sinabi ng professor namin the heck! Sachie I'm not a beauty pageant fan gosh! Lahat sila naka tingin as in all of them and Samantha doesn't look okay.

"Ma'am meron pong bagong classmate namin sa klase niyo baka po satisfied kayo na maging magkapartner sila"

Oh my ghad Sachie!! Seriously you really wanted me to do this we all waited for sachie to come nasa labas lang ata yung guy hindi ba siya aware na ayoko sa mga lalake.

"Presenting Brix Conception!"

Masayang sabi ni Sachie hinila ako ni Sachie palapit sa guy naka ngiti siya saalin kaya I smiled at him too.

"Sachie, hindi ako pwede diyan" sabi ko.

"Wow nagpa-practice ka ba managalog?"

"Wag mong ibahin ang pinag uusapan natin" bulong ko biglang umalis sa tabi si sachie at umupo na.

I saw James seriously looking at me and to the guy beside me Oh my ghad!

"Ms. Rivera anong masasabi mo na ikaw ang napili?"

Nawawala na ako sa sarili ko dahil sa mga titig niya well I should say they are all staring at me.

"H-haah Po?"

"Hindi naman pwede ganyan ang isagot mo sa mga judges, wala ka pa lang binatbat" sabi nung isang girl na classmate ko.

Nagtawanan sila sakin hindi ka naman tanga Gabbi please let yourself show that you can do that, that you go beyond their expectations.

"I'm sorry I will not accept it, I'm not a beauty pageant fan and there are many girls out there who wants the tittle. Am I samantha?"

Kitang-kita ko ang pagkagulat niya totoo naman nakita kong inutusan niya yung babae kanina na magsalita dahil lutang ako. Did I burn you dear Samantha and sorry James I can't do your dare umupo na ako at umagree din naman sila na si samantha na pero ang problema ayaw na rin ni brix.

"Ano ba yan kayo yung pambato ko" singhal ni Sachie.

Magkatabi kame tatlo sa upuan kaya di na mahirapan si sachie para sermonan kame.

"First of all Sachie, i didn't gave the permission to do that and second didn't I remember you I hate boys"

"Oo na, Oo na"

"Hi, Brix" pakilala niya sabay abot ng kamay.

"Should I trust him?" Tanong ko muna kay sachie bago siya kamayan.

"Yes naman, kasama ko yan dati sa office SA din siya."

"Ah Okay, Gabbi" kinamayan ko na rin.

"Gab free ka weekends?" Tanong ni sachie.

"Yes, bakit?"

Nagsilabasan na ang ibang mga classmates namin sina Samantha ayun nagpapa beauty pa she got really pissed when James rejected the offer to be her partner and her partner is Carlton.

And speaking of Carlton. "Gabbi?!"

Bumaling na ang atensiyon ko kay Carlton na naglakad takbo palapit saamin. I want to get away from the room because Ibwant to avoid james I didn't do his dare.

"Pupunta kameng Lagoon bukas sama kayo?"

"I don't if I can, Sachie just asked me if I'm free tomorrow and sunday"

"Yayayain ko sana sila na maligo bukas sa dagat malapit sa kanila"

"Sabay ka na lang kayo saamin"

Hindi ko alam ako lang ba nakakapansin na merong something sa dalawang to.

"Okay, I will. how about you brix?" Bumalin ako ngayon kay brix na kanina pang tahimik.

"Okay, kung saan ako doon din ako."

"We're okay now, Thank you for inviting us Carlton Just text me if I need to bring something"

Naka labas kame ng room ng walang humarang sakin and James are sitting on the chair while we are talking about the picnic for tomorrow.

Beep

James:

Talagang ikaw ang nag imvite.

I didn't get what he's trying to say kaya himdi ko na siya nireplayan. Nasa Canteen kame ngayon shempre para kumain at para naman makilala ko si Brix Nerdy din siya kagaya ni Sachie hindi talaga siya nakikisalamuha sa mga babae well we're opposite kaya lang siya sumama kay sachie dahil gusto daw ako makilala.

"Hindi ka ba talaga marunong mag tagalog?" Tanong ni Brix.

"konti lang, But sometimes I speak tagalog to get of the accent diba I look maarte everytime I speak tagalog"

"Turuan kita gusto mo?"

Natawa muna ako bago sumagot. "If you want to"

"Okay, mag order ka nga ng strawberry Cake doon"

I'm very thankful to have a friend like them as I lived longer here I observe that people from here and people from manila are different. When I stand up James are looking to us I didn't know that there are here.

Lumapit ako sa may nagtitinda ng satrawberry cake.

"Pabili po ako ng strawberry Cake"

Lumingon ako kina Sachie para ngitian sila hudyat na nagawa ko yung gusto nila.

"Salamat po" masaya akong nakabalik sa mesa namin.

"Diba Nagawa ko" sabi ko.

"Alam mo girl matutunan mo lang yan. Ang galing ng tutor eh" sabi ni Sachie.

"Akin na phone mo?" Sabi ni Brix

"Bakit naman" sabay bigay ng phone ko.

"Syempre para mawala talaga yung accent mo alam mo kung paano i-pronounce ng maayos"

Binalik niya na sakin yumg phone ko nakita kong may bagong app doon.

"Diyan matutunan mo lahat ng yun para kung managalog ka hindi na maarte."

"Thank you for this" naka ngiting sabi ko sa kanya.

Beep

James:

Mahirap bang mag reply.

Buti pa soya nahawakan na yung cellphone mo.

Buti pa dare niya nagawa mo.

Sunod-sunod ang text na natanggap ko mula kay james bakit parang iba yung gustong maiparating ng messages niya sakin, The situation earlier and now is different I'm not prepared at all how could I do that if the situation I'm in is hard and I'm not an expert. Yan ba yung ikina gagalit niya.

"Guys let's go" yaya ko.

Hindi ko na maatim na nandito kame sa iisang lugar ni James I don't care what he says. When I got the text from my dad I immediately stand and ready to go but for reapects I sa goodbye to brix and sachie we are actually waiting for our prof to arrived.

"I really need to go home my dad just text me its emergency"

"Okay lang Gabbi, see you"

Nakapagtatakha bakit parang hindi man lang sila nag react chill lang tapos may pa see you, see you pa.

Nagmamadaling bumaba ako sa sasakyan nag stop over pa kame ng kalahating ora sa may gas station ewan ko ba kay kuya di man lang inisip na baka may nangyari kay daddy. Oh my ghad.

"Kuya Lets hurry up na po, I think daddy is in danger"

"Maam kalma lang po nago-over react ka po maam"

"How could I calm myself daddy is texting me weird"

Agad-agad akong bumaba sa sasakyan at pumasok sa loob ng bahay pero walang tao kay si Nay Li hindi ko makita.

"Dad?!" Tawag ko.

Hanggang pumunta na ako dining area baka sakaling nandoon siya nabigla ako sa mga sumunod nangyari.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"

Oh my ghad! They are all here Sachie and brix? I knew it they have plans I saw Nanay Li and liza all the drivers and yayas are here.

"Dad? Is it?"

"Yes, its your birthday you forget it?"

I check my phone and I saw its July 15 and its my birthday and I forget about it how come Gabbi.

"Thank you Dad" niyakap ko siya.

He never fail to surprise me in my birthday he always gave time to surprise me even a simple surprise.

"After all the stress that your daddy gave to you and other things that makes you sad you deserved this anak"

Muli ko siyang niyakap at napaluha I am so very grateful to be his daughter and I am so proud of him he never leave even my mom hurt him.

"Happy Birthday Gabbi" bati ni Liza.

"Thank you, I wish you'll accept my offer" napa tawa ako sa sinabi ko.

"Salamat pala sa ginawa mo, hayaan mo babawi ako sayo"

"Eto naman, parang di tayo friends"

"Wow natututo ka nang managalog"

"Ang galing kasi ng mga nananagalog sa akin eh"

"Wait I'll just talk to Sachie and Brix"

Pinuntahan ko yung dalawa they are both laughing and I know it was about me.

"Surprise!" Pang aasar ni brix.

"Alam niyo, nakakainis kayo you didn't even react to me earlier"

"Kaya nga surprise girl" sabi ni Sachie.

"Selfie tayo para may maupload ako sa f*******:"

Pagkatapos namin mag selfie nagkainan its just a simple party for us this is my first to celebrate my birthday without my mom I wonder if she's thinking about me.

Beep

James:

Ang ganda niyong panoorin sarap itapon nung cellphone ko.

Napakunot ang noo ko sa message niya he didn't even greeted me why would james do that he doesn't even now my birthday we're not friends on f*******:. Di ko na muna siya nireplayan mamaya na lang pagkatapos ng celebration.
