The Not-So Grand Entrance
729 Words
Wearing my red velvet dress sumakay ako sa black limousine na nasa harapan ko holding my Prada bag.
Si Kuya Ybarra kanina pa nasa school dahil nagpra-practice parin sila.
Mom and Dad will ride with Kuya Yñigo and Hugo while I'm here by myself riding alone.
I heaved a sigh. “ Mom is probably really mad at me. ”
I knew what I did and I admitted I was impulsive to take such an action.
Maybe I crossed something I didn’t know or I really knew but I just ignored it.
I admit but I will never apologize for what I did. Yes, that is wrong but I will not let the one who sinned against me live in silence.
It's okay for me to admit I was wrong in what I did but saying sorry will never be a thing for me.
People may say I could admit my mistake but I can’t apologize because my pride is so high.
People.
Can't I just be that kind of person. They can judge me for everything they want but that will not change.
Ang paghingi ng tawad ay para lamang sa mga deserving na tao. And for me, that biatch is not.
And because of the mess that happened I had to transfer to a new school. Because whenever our paths meet there is uncontrollable chaos. Especially when the whole school is divided just to bet on who will win.
And those brothers of mine who you thought were sensible even told me a good job because they said I didn't lose the fight.
“ Magkakapatid nga tayo. Hindi talaga pwedeng wala tayong record sa guidance bago i-transsfer ng school HAHAHAH ” Kuya Hugo.
And of course. Si Dad na nakagawa bigla ng five thousand words para lang pangaralan ako.
He even told me that I was immoral because of what I did. it's as if I wasn't raised correctly.
Pero nung sina Kuya ang pinatawag sa guidance natatawa lang s'yang tinapik ang balikat nila.
Tapos ako immoral at sutil na bata. Pinaglaban ko lang naman kung ano sa tingin ko ang dapat.
Well, Sometimes. Sometimes it's true but it still hurt.
I just shrugged and licked my lower lip. Maybe I'm just really used to their words kaya okay nalang saakin ang mga ganoong patungkulan saakin.
THE CAR stopped at the front gate ng University. Bumaba ako ng sasakyan at pinagpag ang palda ng suot na dress.
When I lift my head everyone is looking at me.
I don't think I need to guess why, I'm sure the video where I slapped the head girl of the school went viral.
I shouldn't be ashamed especially that they don't know what really happened.
Kaya naman tumayo ako ng tuwid at taas noong naglakad palapit kina Mom na nakatingin din saakin.
I need to feel this moment. the moment where I am the center of everything.
I want everything in the middle. But I hate the chase so I just kept walking with a goofy smile on my lips.
Si Kuya Hugo na halata na alam ang iniisip ko ay napapailing nalang. Na para bang sanay na sya sa kung ano mang kasiraan merong sa pagi-isip ang nakababata niyang kapatid.
I clung onto my Father's arm “ Let's go. Naghihintay ang c*m laude. ”
We walked inside the school and headed straight to the event venue.
Mom and Dad left and stood next to Kuya Ybarra at the back of the line.
“ Ano sa tingin mo? ” Kuya Hugo spoke. “ Ipapasuot kaya saakin ng school ang Graduation Toga ko ”
Pinag-taasan ko siya ng kilay. “ Maybe. Baka nga sapilitan pa ang pagbibigay sayo dahil sa mga kalokohan mo. ”
“ What!? ” tanong ni kuya na parang hindi makapaniwala na nanggaling iyon mismo sa sarili niyang kapatid.
“ Well. ” I just shrugged. Totoo naman kasi. Kung hindi clubing ang alam gawin e mangbabae.
Last week lang may sumugod pa sa bahay and desperately tell us na buntis daw s'ya but when we checked on the ob-gyne ang sabi ng Doctor ay negative ang resulta ng test.
Another delusional desperate woman. Tsk. Tsk .
Nagsimula na ang Ceremony at tinawag ang presence ng lahat na tumayo. Pero saktong pagtayo ko a child bumped into me and ice cream spilled on my clothes
“ What. The. Hell!! ”
