Beautiful Scenery Of Love (In Love Series)

CHAPTER 2

"History class..hindi ba nagsasawa si Sir Chua?..magretire na kaya siya..mas madami pang sasaya."

Ngiwi kong tinignan si Rhea dahil sa mga pinagsasabi niya kay sir Chua..

"Grabe ka mang- back stab." she pouted..

"Eh, kasi si Sir kaya yung pinaka strikto na prof dito..lahat anghel isa demonyo.."

"Is he really that strict?"

"Oo naman! Mabait lang siya sa mga maganda at gwapo na matalino."

"Favoritism huh."

"Sinabi mo pa!."

"So mabait siya sayo?"

"I don't know..hindi naman kami nag-uusap.. hindi rin naman niya ako pinapagalitan."

Pumasok na kami sa History class..kaming dalawa ni Rhea..nagpapasalamat pa siya dahil wala daw si Blake..

Anlaki talaga niya ng galit niya kay Blake..

"Alam mo bagay talaga kayo ni Blake no?.. The more you hate, the more you love ika nila." pangaasar ko habang nagsusulat..

"Gaga..Anong bagay e pinsan ko yun."

"ANO?!" sigaw ko dahilan para mapunta ang tingin nilang lahat sakin maging si Sir.

"Ms. Dela Vega! Why are you shouting?! And in my class, really!?" sigaw niya sakin napayuko nalang ako.

"S-sorry sir."

"Explain Neolithic Revolution!"

"The Neolithic Revolution, also called the Agricultural Revolution, marked the transition in human history from small, nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers to larger, agricultural settlements and early civilization. ... The Neolithic Revolution started around 10,000 B.C. in the Fertile Crescent, a boomerang-shaped region of the Middle East where humans first took up farming. Shortly after, Stone Age humans in other parts of the world also began to practice agriculture. Civilizations and cities grew out of the innovations of the Neolithic Revolution."

"Sinabi ko bamg umupo kana?" mataray niyang tanong ng akmang uupo na ako.

Kingina naman neto.

"Neolithic Age."

"The Neolithic Age is sometimes called the New Stone Age. Neolithic humans used stone tools like their earlier Stone Age ancestors, who eked out a marginal existence in small bands of hunter-gatherers during the last Ice Age.

Australian archaeologist V. Gordon Childe coined the term "Neolithic Revolution" in 1935 to describe the radical and important period of change in which humans began cultivating plants, breeding animals for food and forming permanent settlements. The advent of agriculture separated Neolithic people from their Paleolithic ancestors.

Many facets of modern civilization can be traced to this moment in history when people started living together in communities." uminom ako ng tubig dahil tuyo na yung lalamunan ko.

"Causes of Neolithic Revolution."

Ang daming pinapaexplain!

"There was no single factor that led humans to begin farming roughly 12,000 years ago. The causes of the Neolithic Revolution may have varied from region to region.

The Earth entered a warming trend around 14,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age. Some scientists theorize that climate changes drove the Agricultural Revolution.

In the Fertile Crescent, bounded on the west by the Mediterranean Sea and on the east by the Persian Gulf, wild wheat and barley began to grow as it got warmer. Pre-Neolithic people called Natufians started building permanent houses in the region.

Other scientists suggest that intellectual advances in the human brain may have caused people to settle down. Religious artifacts and artistic imagery-progenitors of human civilization-have been uncovered at the earliest Neolithic settlements.

The Neolithic Era began when some groups of humans gave up the nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle completely to begin farming. It may have taken humans hundreds or even thousands of years to transition fully from a lifestyle of subsisting on wild plants to keeping small gardens and later tending large crop fields." I heavily sigh..

"Neolithic Humans."

"Andami." bulong ko bago sumagot "The archaeological site of Çatalhöyük in southern Turkey is one of the best-preserved Neolithic settlements. Studying Çatalhöyük has given researchers a better understanding of the transition from a nomadic life of hunting and gathering to an agriculture lifestyle.

Archaeologists have unearthed more than a dozen mud-brick dwellings at the 9,500 year-old Çatalhöyük. They estimate that as many as 8,000 people may have lived here at one time. The houses were clustered so closely back-to-back that residents had to enter the homes through a hole in the roof.

The inhabitants of Çatalhöyük appear to have valued art and spirituality. They buried their dead under the floors of their houses. The walls of the homes are covered with murals of men hunting, cattle and female goddesses.

Some of the earliest evidence of farming comes from the archaeological site of Tell Abu Hureyra, a small village located along the Euphrates River in modern Syria. The village was inhabited from roughly 11,500 to 7,000 B.C.

Inhabitants of Tell Abu Hureyra initially hunted gazelle and other game. Around 9,700 B.C. they began to harvest wild grains. Several large stone tools for grinding grain have been found at the site."

Isa pang explain magwawala ako dito.

"Agricultural Inventions." napapikit ako ng mariin at huminga ng malalim..

"Plant domestication: Cereals such as emmer wheat, einkorn wheat and barley were among the first crops domesticated by Neolithic farming communities in the Fertile Crescent. These early farmers also domesticated lentils, chickpeas, peas and flax.

Domestication is the process by which farmers select for desirable traits by breeding successive generations of a plant or animal. Over time, a domestic species becomes different from its wild relative.

Neolithic farmers selected for crops that harvested easily. Wild wheat, for instance, falls to the ground and shatters when it is ripe. Early humans bred for wheat that stayed on the stem for easier harvesting.

Around the same time that farmers were beginning to sow wheat in the Fertile Crescent, people in Asia started to grow rice and millet. Scientists have discovered archaeological remnants of Stone Age rice paddies in Chinese swamps dating back at least 7,700 years.

In Mexico, squash cultivation began about 10,000 years ago, while maize-like crops emerged around 9,000 years ago.

Livestock: The first livestock were domesticated from animals that Neolithic humans hunted for meat. Domestic pigs were bred from wild boars, for instance, while goats came from the Persian ibex. Domesticated animals made the hard, physical labor of farming possible while their milk and meat added variety to the human diet. They also carried infectious diseases: smallpox, influenza, and the measles all spread from domesticated animals to humans.

The first farm animals also included sheep and cattle. These originated in Mesopotamia between 10,000 and 13,000 years ago. Water buffalo and yak were domesticated shortly after in China, India and Tibet.

Draft animals including oxen, donkeys and camels appeared much later-around 4,000 B.C.-as humans developed trade routes for transporting goods.." sana talaga di na ako sumigaw.

"Last one.. Effects of the Neolithic Revolution."

"The Neolithic Revolution led to masses of people establishing permanent settlements supported by farming and agriculture. It paved the way for the innovations of the ensuing Bronze Age and Iron Age, when advancements in creating tools for farming, wars and art swept the world and brought civilizations together through trade and conquest."

"Very good. May ibubuga ka naman pala."

"Hindi sana ako magsasalita dito Sir kung wala akong maibubuga.. I'm not like other students who stupidly study to flirt or just make themselves beautiful."

"Really? Then, why did you shout?" wala namang connect yung tinanong niya.

"I was just surprised by what Rhea said."

"Ano bang pinagkwekwentuhan niyo?"

"Sir, If you want gossip just talk to my neighbors." I smirked first before sitting down.

Tinaliman niya muna ako ng tingin bago magturo ulit..parang gusto kong asarin si Sir tuwing history class.

Tapos na yung class ko at sabay ulit kami ni Rhea lumabas.

"Pinsan mo talaga siya? Pero..yung mga pick up lines niya? Ano yon?" naguguluhan kong tanong.

"Okay ganito kasi yan.. Pinsan talaga kami.. we just pretend na nangungulit siya sakin para hindi daw ako mapahiya..at..mabully

"What? Mapahiya? Mabully?"

"Here in Stone Wall Academy...No one will accept you if you are related to their idols.. Ibubully ka nila.."

"Pero bakit? Diba dapat matakot sila o dapat hindi ka nila gagalawin kasi kadugo ka ng idol nila?"

"You are wrong .. they will not touch you if you have no relationship with them,at walang totoong kaibigan sa SWA, Camille .. all of them are plastic and insecure.. Kung meron ka na wala sila..they will bully you.. at kung meron ka na meron din sila.. they will bully you.."

"SWA's students are immature, childish, stupid, idiot or what so ever."

"Ikaw, magingat ka rin..You're new at simula nung kanina mukhang pinagiinitan ka nila Meghan.."

"I will.. Pero..may isa akong napansin.."

"What is it?"

"Ambobo ng pinsan mo..kasi diba sabi mo.. "they will not touch you if you don't have a relationship with them" eh bakit pinalabas niya nangungulit o nanliligaw siya sayo.."

"Dati ko na yan napansin..minsan talaga ambobo yan ng pinsan ko..puro papogi di ginagamit utak."

"Ay talaga, Rhea? Talaga?" nagulat kami ni Rhea nang biglang sumulpot sa kung saan si Blake.

"Oo! Sobrang bobo!"

"Mamaya ka sakin!"

"Walakompake."

Napailing nalang ako..may ilang minutes pa kami dahil maaga kaming nagdismiss kaya naman pumunta nalang muna kami sa cafeteria.

Nasa harap namin sila Rhea at Blake nagaaway parin..habang kami ni Kiel tahimik na kumakain.

"Kiel." tawag ko sa kaniya ng may naalala ako.

"Hmm?"

"Sorry pala nung last time ah?..yung natapunan ng coffee yung damit mo."

"It's okay.." ngiting sabi niya..tsaka ginulo yung buhok ko tsaka naman tumigil yung pagaaway ng dalawa nung makita kami.

"Uy,uy,uy..ano yan ha? Ano yan? bakit may pahawak sa buhok?". chismosong tanong ni Blake..

"Wala." sagot ni Kiel pero pinanliitan lang siya ng mata ni Blake..sa akin naman siya bumaling.

"Ano yun?" tinaasan ko siya ng kilay "Ano yun-" di niya tinapos yung sasabihin ng sinaksak ko sa bibig niya yung tinapay na hawak ko.

"Kumain kana." iling kong sabi..

Napatingin ako kay Rhea na nakangisi sakin tinaasan ko din siya ng kilay..

"May utang kang kwento sakin." she said with no sound..habang nagtaas baba ang kilay.

"Whatever." I said with no sound too..

Kumain na kaming apat..wala na yung isa dahil nasa music room daw.. that guy named Zachary Zain..

"Ano yung feel na magpinsan kayo tapos nagpapanggap kayo na alam niyo na?" I asked napaisip naman sila..medjo hinaan ko pa yung boses ko baka kasi may makarinig..

"Hmm, Well..nakakainis at the same time nakakadiri." sagot ni Rhea tumango naman si Blake senyalis na sumangayon siya.

"Kasi alam mo yun magpinsan kami tapos ugh! yuck! ano yun FS?"

"FS? What is that?" I asked.

"Family Stroke." natawa naman kami ni Kiel..

"What the hell, Blake." tawang tawang sabi ni Kiel.

Nagpatuloy kami sa pagkain at nagtuloy din ng away yung dalawang magpinsan..

"Hatid kita mamaya." biglang sabi ni Kiel hindi naman narinig nung dalawa dahil nagaaway parin sila..

"Sige..nagcab lang ako kanina eh." wag tanggihan ang grasya.

Nagring ulit yung bell at nagstart na ulit yung class.. It's math time.. kaya kami ulit ni Rhea ang magkasama..

"Hoy, ano yun kanina ha?" nakangising sabi niya..

"Wala yun."

"Weeeehhh??"

"Wala nga.."

"Asus! kwento mo na!! Bilis na!" pamimilit niya pa..mukhang wala akong laban dito.

"Okay.. Nag sorry lang ako sa kaniya kasi nung first meet namin sa Kali's Cafe..natapunan ko ng coffee yung damit niya tapos yun lang."

"Eh bakit may pahawak sa buhok?" nagkibitbalikat lang ako..hindi ko naman kasi alam..

Nagsimula na yung klase namin ng biglang may kumatok sa pinto..

"Come in.." pagkasabi ni ma'am ay agad na pumasok ang mga estudyante sa kabilang room which is English subject.. Nandoon nagkakaklase sila Kiel. "Yes, Mr. Buenaventura?"

"Ah.. Mr. Ched is absent, Can we sneak into your class, ma'am?" magalang na tanong niya..

looks like ayaw talaga nila na walang ginagawa..

"Hmm, okay..." at dahil pumayag si ma'am agad nag paganda ang mga babae syempre campus crush sila eh..

Konti lang ang estudyante sa English mga 20 lang ata..o tumambay lang yung iba.. Nagulat ako na yung tatlo ay umupo sa gilid ko...parang nanlumo naman yung mga babae dahil hindi tumabi sakanila sila Kiel..

Tabi kami ni Kiel sunod si Zain tsaka panghuli si Blake.. nagfocus lang kami sa lesson except kay Blake na parang bagot na bagot sa math..

"Everyone..what is Trigonometry?" tanong ni ma'am,nagpalinga linga pa siya kung sakaling may sumagot pero wala talagang nagtaas ng kamay.. "Walang sasagot? Okay..get one sheet of paper."agad nanlumo yung mga kaklase ko lalo na si Blake... ayaw ko rin namang magquiz kaya nagtaas na ako ng kamay... "Yes, Ms. Dela Vega?"

"Trigonometry, the branch of mathematics concerned with specific functions of angles and their application to calculations. There are six functions of an angle commonly used in trigonometry. Their names and abbreviations are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), secant (sec), and cosecant (csc)." I answer in a serious tone..

"Last one.."

shuta trauma na ako sa last one na yan kay Sir Chua eh.

"What are the 3 trigonometric ratios?"

"There are three basic trigonometric ratios: sine , cosine , and tangent . Given a right triangle, you can find the sine (or cosine, or tangent) of either of the non- 90° angles."

"Very good, class dismissed." ngiting sabi ni ma'am tsaka lumabas sa room.

"Pew..Yes!" sigaw ni Blake.."Utang ko sayo buhay ko." sabi pa niya habang ngiting ngiti sakin..ngumiwi lang ako sa kaniya at nagarrage ng gamit ko..

Sabay kaming lima na lumabas sa room nasa unahan kami ni Rhea na nakaangkla sa braso ko..

Sunod naming subject ay English habang sila Kiel naman ay Filipino..

Natapos na yung klase namin at sabay na kaming naglakad papuntang parking lot..

"Punta tayo Jollibee! Libre ko!"biglang sigaw ni Blake.

"Wow..sige- sige! Sama tayo, Calea!" sigaw ni Rhea habang nakataas ang kamay at tumatalon.

"Hoy.. si Camille lang yung isasama namin.. ikaw kung gusto mong sumama..ikaw magbayad ng kakainin mo." pangaasar ni Blake.

"Ang hayup mo talaga!"

Sumakay na si Blake at Rhea sa kanilang sa sasakyan. Sumabay naman ako kay Kiel.. pinagbuksan niya muna ako ng pinto bago ako pumasok sa kotse niya..

Pagsakay niya ay agad siyang nagdrive... Tahimik lang kaming dalawa.. hanggang siya na ang bumasag non.

"Alea, may boyfriend kana ba?" tanong niya.. tumingin muna ako sa kaniya bago tumango..

"Two years na." tumango lang siya at nagdrive ulit.. "Ikaw? Girlfriend?"

"I don't like girlfriends..And I don't want girlfriends."

"Pagnakita kitang nagkagirlfriend kuktusan kita."

"Tss."

"Kumusta history niyo?"

"Okay naman..sanay na kami kay Sir Chua."

"Kailangan ko narin yatang masanay." I heard him chuckle..

Nakarating kami sa Jollibee at napangiti ako ng maalala ko si Sav dito.. Napatingin naman kaming lahat kay Blake ng bigla siyang sumigaw at tumakbo..

"Jollibee!!!!!!!!! Wuaaaahh Miss na miss kita!!" nangunot ang noo naming lahat ng yakapin niya yung statue na Jollibee..

"Buang." bulong ni Rhea bago iangkla yung braso niya sakin..

Tumingin ulit kami kay Blake nanlaki yung mata ko ng malapit ng matumba yung Jollibee na statue..

"HOY, Blake! Matutumba na yung-" hindi ko na natapos yung sasabihin ko ng matumba sa kaniya yung Jollibee.. humagalpak ng tawa si Rhea napailing naman si Zachary.. at nagpipigil ng tawa si Kiel..

Lumapit naman kaming apat para buhatin yung statue tumulong nadin yung guard samin.

"Karma! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!" sabi ni Rhea.

"Ikaw magbayad ng kakainin mo ha!" sigaw ni Blake sa kaniya..

"Ayos ka lang ba?" nagpipigil tawang tanong ko..

"Ayos na ako.. pwede ka ng tumawa." ngumiti siya ng sarcastic sakin tsaka naman kami tumawa ni Rhea.

"Gaano ka ba kabigat para madala mo na yung statue, dre?" tawang tanong ni Zain.

"Ewan ko." ngusong sabi niya tsaka kami pumasok sa Jollibee.

Sila na yung umorder habang kaming dalawa na ni Rhea ang naiwan dito.. nagphone lang siya habang ako tumitingin sa paligid..

Napako ang tingin ko sa isang lalaki na naghihintay malapit sa girls cr.. nangunot yung noo ko dahil pamilyar pero agad akong ngumiti ng makilala yun.

"Sandali lang Rhea ah?" tumango naman siya.

Tumakbo ako papalapit sa kaniya mukhang hindi niya napansin yung presensiya ko..

"Xavier." tawag ko sa kaniya..napaangat siya ng tingin sakin at nanlaki yung mga mata niya ng makita ako..para siyang nakakita ng multo.

"C-camille,anong ginagawa mo dito?" pilit ngiti niyang tanong sakin..

"I'm with my new classmate..ikaw? Akala ko ba busy ka, babe?" tanong ko..

Yes, Xavier is my boyfriend for 2 years.. ngayon ko lang ulit siya nakita after 2 weeks na busy siya..

May biglang lumabas sa CR ng mga babae at ngiting lumapit kay Xavier..

"Baby, let's go?" sabi nung babae sa kaniya..

B-baby?

"Baby..sino siya?" tanong nung babae na nakaturo pa sakin..she looks so innocent.. mukhang wala siyang alam na may girlfriend si Xavier..

"I'm Camille his.... friend.." ngiting sabi ko pero ang totoo gusto ko ng umiyak..

"Oh..Hi..I'm Clarissa..his girlfriend."

"Nagd-date kayo?"

At eto yung bagay na minsan lang namin ginagawa.. every Sunday lang minsan din once a month lang.

"Yes.."

"Ohh..sorry naisturbo ko yata kayo.. Sige enjoy your date.."I said and i bit my lips para pigilan ko ang pagiyak.

Tinignan ko si Xavier and I give him a small

painful smile.. nakikita ko rin yung sakit sa mga mata niya..

"I'm sorry.." he said with no sound.. tumango lang ako at pumasok sa CR ng babae..

Wala namang tao kaya pwedeng magdrama dito.. napahawak ako sink at tinignan yung repleksiyon ko sa salamin..

WHAT THE f**k IS WRONG WITH ME?! ANONG KULANG SAKIN?! ANONG NAGAWAKO?! ANONG PAGKUKULANG KO?! BAKIT?! BAKIT XAVIER?! BAKIT GANTO?!

Sana sinabihan mo kong ayaw mo na..hindi yung kusa kong makikita at maririnig.. sobrang sakit kasi..

That's why I don't want to be in love, I'll just get hurt.. even though I know that I only have myself .. in the end of the day...
