Violet Montemayor

Chapter Three

Napataas ang kilay ko nang matagpuan ko ang Lopez na iyon sa Literature class ko. He smirk when he saw me. I smirk too. Ang masaklap pa, he ended up sitting beside me.

Pandalawahan kasi ang upuan namin at isang desk lang amg mayroon. Our school is rich but they couldn't afford tables for one. Anyway, last year nagustuhan ko naman ang ganitong set-up nang nakatabi ko ang ex-boyfriend ko dahil pwede kami mag holding hands sa ilalim ng iconic table ng MMU.

Hindi rin pumasok si Lopez kahapon kaya wala rin siyang upuan and the only vacant seat is beside mine. I saw his devilish grin before he took a sit beside me. Sadyang sinadya pa talaga nito na hawakan ang paa ko nang maupo ito. Pinipigilan ko lang ang sarili ko na sampalin siya.

I' was trying to pretend that he was not there. That someone else is sitting beside me. Not him.

"How's your day, hottie?" Nakangiting tanong nito sa akin maya-maya lang.

Tiningnan ko lang siya nang masama at binalik and atensiyon ko sa aking ginagawa. I was taking down notes.

"Nice penmanship, huh."

"Will you please shut up?" Inis na bulong ko dito. I was trying to be a good student that year. Gusto ko kasing tumaas ang grades ko dahil gusto kong mag-transfer sa Australia. Tristan told me na kailangan kong makakuha ng mataas na grades para madali ang pag-enroll ko sa pinapasukan niyang University.

"Whoa~."

"Bullshit, Lopez."

"You know what? I find you pretty and interesting."

"I don't care."

"And I want to f**k that pretty mouth of yours."

Huli na ang lahat nang marealize ko kong ano ang ginawa ko. The damage had been done. Nasampal ko na siya.

"Montemayor and Lopez, Dean's office. Now!" malakas na sigaw ng professor namin, Namumula ito sa galit.

I want to kick someone that time. Gustong-gusto kong manakit ng tao. Kung saan pa na gusto kong malinis ang record ko ngayong taon doon pa lumala ang sitwasyon. At dahil illegal ang manampal ng kapwa, they gave me one week suspension at bahala na si Exodus kung ano ang gagawin niya. He can sue me if he wants. At dahil sinigawan kong rin ito ng 'bullshit' sa harap mismo ng dean another offense 'yon. Another one week na maglilinis ako sa rest room. Religious School pa naman ang MMU.

Nang makalabas kami ng Principal's office ay gustong gusto kong iiyak na lang ang galit ko. I am Violet Montemayor. No one messes a Montemayor. I started to be nice, but they used it against me. So, if this Lanz Mitchell Exodus wanted war, I'll give him war.

"Hey. . . Violet. Let's talk." Habol nito sa akin. Hindi ako tumigil sa paglalakad. Babalik at babalik lang kami sa Principal's office kapag pinatulan ko siya.

"Come on, Violet. Talk to me."

Napatigil ako sa paglalakad nang hawakan nito ang braso ko at pilit na pinaharap sa kanya.

"What do you want, pervert?"

"Your time. Let's talk. Listen. . I didn't mean.. ."

"Crap that bullshit, Exodus. The damage has been done. Kaya kung pwedi sana hayaan mo na ako!"

"Noooo.!"

"Go to hell."

"Sure, if you're there waiting for me. . naked."

"f**k you."

"Oh, please do."

***

"Hi, hottie," bati sa akin ni Exodus kinaumagahan pagka-upo na pagka-upo ko pa lang sa upuan namin.

I smiled. "Hello, bastard."

"Nice. How's life?"

"Been good. How's s*x life?"

"Hmmmmm. Good. Had one yesterday."

I smirk. "HIV is coming for you, genius."

"I got a condom."

"Good for you."

"How's yours?"

"Amazing. I got condoms from my friends too. Advance gift for my 18th birthday."

"By whom?"

"Curious much?"

"Very."

"Send me someone then. So you can ask him after our sex."

He laughs. "Should I come?"

"You're too plain. Besides, I prefer someone I didn't know."

"Don't you prefer big d***s?"

"Don't care about that."

"Mine is big enough."

Bigla akong nainis. Bat ko ba pinatulan ang trip nito sa buhay?

"So, who cares?"

"Girls?"

"Keep it intact until next year, perv." Inis na wika ko bago tinalikuran ito.

Pangisi-ngisi lang ito tuwing magkasalubong ang paningin namin. Hindi ko na lang pinapansin. His attitude is too much for me to handle. I just pretend na hindi kami magkakilala.

One time ay napasukan ko ito sa girl's bathroom kasama ang isang senior. Gusto kong masuka sa mga pinanggagawa nito. Ganun ba 'yon kahit saan kahit kailan basta gusto nila pwede?

"Mr. Generous," nakangiting salubong ko dito kinaumagahan nang makasalubong kami sa hallway.

He smiled when he saw me.

I give him my middle finger.

"Laters, babe," he said, grinning.

***

"So, you still need a guy for your 18th birthday?"

Napasinghap ako nang may biglang humawak sa beywang ko habang pumipila ako para bumili ng lunch sa cafeteria.

Nang lumingon ako, I saw Exodus again grinning from ear to ear.

"Stop grinning. And yeah."

"Am coming."

"You're not invited," I said, eyeing my phone.

Dad won't make it tonight, "I'm so done with my life." Inis na bulong ko.

"Is everything okay?" he asks.

"Yes, and it's none of your business if it isn't. Why are you here?"

"I wanted to see you, of course."

"Stop talking to me."

"But I like talking to you."

Inilapit nito and mukha nito sa akin, "I want you."

"Yea sure," wala sa sarili an sagot ko.

"You and s*x? You can't even talk dirty."

Doom. Huli an bago ko ma-realize kung ano ang nasabi ko kaya sinakyan ko an lang ito, "Trust me, I can."

"And I'm beginning to wonder why you're still a f*****g virgin- ."

Ngumiti lang ako bago ko ito nilayasan. Kami na lang kasi ang pinagtitinginan ng mga naroroon.

"Tell me. Are you serious about that?" He asks, smiling when he put his food on my table.

"What are you doing? You're not going sit here."

"Why not?"

"Because this is mine."

"Where's your name?"

"Jerk."

"So, about my question. . "

"Show me what you got, perv."

"As in?"

"You'll be surprised."

He laughs, showing his perfect white teeth. "My d**k?"

"How long?"

"8 inches."

"I'm surprised, liar."

"Three fingers wide."

"Yeah. Keep it frozen, pervert." Then I walk away.
