Taming The Spoiled Brat

6

Kaunti nalang at mami-mission success na kami. Nang successful kaming nakaupo, napabuga ako ng hangin. Gayon din ang pagpasok I think tao siya sa guidance center, god wag naman sanang nahuli kami. May binigay siyang paper sa prof namin and the girl looked on us.. Wait? Napatingin kaagad ako kila sol at duke na dinededma ang tingin ng babae sakanila.

"Sino ang nag-cutting dito? First day of school, jusko! Sino!? Answer me honestly!" Napagitla kaming lahat do'n sa sigaw ng prof namin na minamasahe na ang kaniyang ulo and she was breathing heavily, she was getting pissed already. I looked again sa kanilang dalawa at napalunok. We stood up, shaking in fear. Pero mas nakakatakot pa din si dad kung manigaw.

"Get out! The three of you! Guidance office, Now!" Galit na sigaw ng professor while pointing at the door. Lumabas kaming nakatungo. Hiding was useless. Sayang ang effort, gosh.

"Sino ba kasi nag-yaya?" Bulong na ani ko habang nakanguso.

"Si, Dianna Keir Zamora," Pang-aasar pa ni duke parang hindi nakisakay sa gusto ko kanina. Inambahan ko siya ng suntok na kinaiwas niya. Habang si sol malalim ang iniisip, does she have a problem?

"Tumabi ka nga diyan," Sabi ko kay duke dahil gusto kong makausap si sol and nasa gitna din 'tong ugok na 'to kaya pinalipat ko siya sa pwesto ko.

"Sol," agaran siyang lumingon sa'kin. "Bakit?" puro bakit nalang ba alam nito isagot? "What's on your mind lately? Hindi ka naman ganiyan ha," pagtatakang tanong ko.

"Me? nothing," pagturo niya sa sarili niya at umiling-iling pa. While on the other hand, duke was just listening to our conversation.

"Really? 'Wag kang magalala, I will not stole your crush," inakbayan ko siya and tila hindi niya kaagad nakuha ang point ko kaya inunahan ko na siya ng takbo then when realization hits her, she chase me while shouting my name. We don't care sa students that looking on us, paki namin sakanila. While duke is nakikihabol nadin and gustong malaman kung sino crush ni sol, bahala siya, no clue.

Simula nung nalaman kong may gusto si sol kay duke, the way sol looked on me was just different. I don't know if I'm just too paranoid or what, but gano'n talaga eh. Is she jealous?

Hayy, stop thinking like that Blaine. Get rid of your thoughts like that.

As we arrived, the girl from earlier ay niyaya kaming umupo. "Sit down," she said in a monotone. "Your lucky because the principal just left earlier," so...? do we care? Siyempre sa sarili ko lang sinabi 'yan baka umiyak eh.

Tinignan ko 'yung kapaligiran ko, It was a old stylish not like the other guidance that I went on. Is the owner of this school is kulang sa pera? It looked like ano kasi from the world war 2 pa. Nahalagilap ko sa paningin ko si duke na malalim din ang iniisp, sa totoo lang, problemado ba 'tong mga 'to? Pero itong si duke parang hindi eh, kasi 'yung hands niya is nakapatong sa hita niya at 'yung isa naman na kamay niya ay nakahawak sa baba niya at nakadikit ang kanyang makapal na kilay na animo'y galit.

"Hoy, sino na naman ba kinakaaway mo sa isip mo ha?" pabulong na sabi ko kay duke baka kasi marinig nung babae na ngayon ay nag-aayos na ng papeles, I think? "Wala naman, but the guy earlier was getting on my nerves," inis na sabi niya na hindi gaanong kalakas. Trip ko siyang asarin. "Crush mo 'no?" I look to him with my teasingly smile and wiggled my eyebrows, while sol was sleeping, laging tulog naman 'yan.

Inambahan ako ng suntok ni duke na kaagad naman kinaagaw ng atensiyon nung babae. Tinititigan siya nung babae ng masama. Binaba ni duke dahan-dahan 'yung kamay niya and I stick my tongue out to tease him more but he just turned his back at me then closed his eyes too. Well, ano pa ba magagawa ko? Edi gagaya! Pero ayaw kong matulog, so I decided to take a picture of them while they were sleeping. An idea pop out on my mind. Umupo ako sa gilid ni sol na mahimbing na natutulog.

"Sol, move. Ang sikip dito," sabi ko pero kunwari natutulog ako para gumana. Umusog siya at saktong-sakto na bumagsak 'yung ulo ni sol sa balikat ni duke maybe she was thinking that was me, hays, mga tulog talaga. Hindi na ako nagsayang ng oras, I took a pic both of them. Ang cute nila! Fan na nila ako! hehehehehe. Alam kong tinititigan na ako ng bantay pero paki ko?

Tumayo 'yung nagbabantay sa'min then lumabas siya. Sinilip ko kung nandyan lang siya pero nung pagkasilip ko ay wala, ginising ko na sila sol para makatakas kami. "Sol, Duke," I shake them kaya napamulat sila at inis akong tinignan. "Wala na 'yung bantay natin, sakto uwian na oh," napatingin pa sila sa lamesa kung sa'n nakaupo 'yung nagbabantay sa'min. Tumayo na sila at lumabas nang palihim. We used the fire exit para hindi kami mahuli. Saktong napadaan kami sa restroom kaya I decided to use the restroom first. "Can I at least go to the restroom?" I stopped them. "Yea sure, I'll wait for the both of you here. Just make it faster, baka mahuli tayo." Duke said. Hinila ko na ang braso ni sol papuntang women's cr dahil I can't hold it anymore. As we got inside, bumungad sa'min ang tatlong babae na nag-aayos sa salamin. "You sure hindi ka mag-ccr?" I asked sol.

"Yes I'm sure, I'll wait for you here," I nodded to her at pumasok na ako sa cubicle. After some minutes, the three girls were still laughing, I don't know but their laugh was like insulting someone. Then the one girl spoke. "Hey, stay away from there, You can't be with a garbage," I don't kung sino ang tinutukoy nila so I just shrugged my shoulders. As I was about to go out, they spoke again. "Hi, I'm Solis Xace Candra, you can call me, sol." They were mocking sol.

"Hey, hindi ka bagay dito, you're a trash, remember?" The other girl said.

"Aray ko! Ano ba," Sol said. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa narinig. My hands clenched on the doorknob, trying to control myself.

"You know what, you're so ugly. Hindi kayo bagay nung duke. Salot kayo dito pati nung blaine," they laughed after they said that. This time, I can't hold it anymore. They are just not insulting sol, they were insulting me too. Binuksan ko ang pinto to see sol crying infront of them. Nakatungo si sol habang umiiyak at 'yung tatlo naman tuwang-tuwa sa nakikita na umiiyak siya.

Hindi nila ako napansin kaya I took this a chance to grab the hair na nasa middle. Lahat sila nagulat sa ginawa ko. Dinala ko 'yung babae sa cubicle at pinaluhod siya, sinubsob ko 'yung mukha niya sa toilet. "Watch your mouth, you b***h," I whispered to her ears nang pagka-angat ko sa ulo niya at sinubsob ko ulit siya sa toilet. Puro sigaw lang siya, wala siyang magawa. Buti nalang soundproof daw itong restroom. At 'yung mga alipores naman niya ay walang magawa, they were just staring us. They were just staring at their friend na inilulublob ko sa toilet.

Natigil na ako nang may humatak sa'kin. "Blaine, stop that!" Do'n ko lang nalaman na si duke ang pumiglas sa'kin. Humarap ako sa dalawa niyang alipores niya na ngayon ay nakayuko na, natatakot. I approached them that made them walked backwards. "Look at me," mahina kong ani. Habang sila sol binabantayan lang ang galaw ko. Nang hindi sila tumingin sa'kin nawalan na ako ng pasensya. "I said look at me! You bitches!" Napasigaw na ako at do'n lang sila nag-angat ng tingin. "You should not insult us, lalo na't hindi niya kami kilala. Once you insult us again, I will not think twice. I can do other than that." Nakatingala sila dahil mas matangkad ako sakanila.

We left them already, and while walking through the hall, my phone rang. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko to see dad's number.
