2 01

I am a well known students in this school i'm in. My name's always attached in every corner of this school. I'm just a normal student who doesn't like the idea of bragging her success, wealth, excellence and status but everyone's still up to

It, kahit pa na gusto kong magpaka lowkey lang. I never wanted to be in a spotlight, it'll only drag me to a hot seat

"Hey!...miss unpopular marry me!" si Lily na sabay hagis ng fake flower. Napangisi ako, She has always been playful

"She took it all!di niya ko binigyan!" Shane who took the flowers from me pouted. She has always been modest in my eyes, iyong tipong mahinhin but Zoe's more like that, lalo na pag nasa harapan na siya ng pamilya niya. I'm worried about her, she once told me she could only be herself pag kasama niya lang kami, or when she's away from their parents. May pagka makulit din kasi siya

"Gaga di ka talaga bibigyan niyan kase ako'ng bibigyan mo Sammy dba?" Deb who's puppy eyes begging me. I can't believe she's my cousin, parang ganon na rin ang tiring namin kay Lily since nakasama namin siya sa pagtanda

Natawa nalang ako sakanila, we're seated right now in the middle part of the gym, inaayos namin yung mga fake flowers and other design at baka may naisalba from the accident that happened, reason why yung mga ibang gamit na dapat sana'y gagamitin sa graduation nasira. The whole room kung saan nakalagay yung mga design is secured naman. I don't know what happened, the school tried to order the same things but the store run out of stocks since limited lang yon and all's bought by our school, kaya humanap nalang sila ng alternative, ayos lang though, they refund some of the money naman and I'm kinda enjoying it since I love arts & crafts

Mr.Evan gave us a break for 15 minutes, kaya nagkaroon ako ng oras para mag scroll sa phone ko. Natigil lang ako when someone handed me a bouquet of flowers & chocolates

Kaagad umaksiyon si Deb, she didn't even let me say a thing. I gave him a quick apologetic smile when Deb quickly took the flowers & chocolates "sorry but she's not interested kaya lumayo kana and stop making a move on her will you?" Matapang niyang tanong

The boy look so pissed and was ready to punch her, bigla akong na alarma but thankfully Zoe stood in between them "my friends just want privacy. In behalf of her I apologize, if you want to talk about it later you can come to me" Zoe winked and smiled at him

"Pasalamat ka't magaganda kaibigan mo, kung hindi kanina pa kita pinatulang matandang dalaga ka"sabi ng lalaki

"Oh ano naman ngayon?! Lumapit kapa dito sasapakin na kitang gago ka"si Deb na aamba ng susuntok buti nalang at hinawakan siya ni Shane at Lily habang si Zoe hinatak na ang lalaki palayo "Tss. Always the beauty. Wala na ba kayong ibang basehan?!" Sigaw niya that caught the attention of the rest of the students

She's gorgeous and has always been stunning. Hindi ko lang alam ba't ganyan ang trato ng karamihan sakanya. Calling her slut with rumours of numerous sexcapades. She's not like that, virgin pa siya! It's not right to speak to her so casually with all those false accusations. Fighting her using such vulgar words as a weapon against her. She deserves better, she deserves to be respected too, like the rest

Deb knows me so much alam niyang hindi ako sanay sa mga ganito. I've been receiving gifts lately from people in this school. Eventually hindi sakin ang punta ng mga iyon. Deb will always take each gift, either she's giving those away or itatago niya so we could eat themtuwing breaktime para less gastos daw

"Hoyyy mga babae!!! may binili akong foods!" Si Nadia na kakarating lang "oh sis napano ka? Taas ng temperature ah? tawagin ko lang si doc para umayos ka" she smirked kasabay ng pagtaas baba ng kilay niya. May crush kasi si Deb doon sa Doctor ng school namin. Everyone's started laughing at nagkakatuwaan na rin sila sa ibang bagay but I didn't, tulala lang ako kay Nadia. She's so good at pretending and lying and hiding. Her words about her are too good to be true, pero mabenta iyon sa lahat but not to us who knows about the truth, except Shane

"Hoy Debora Leigh Montenegro ang landi mo ngayon ah" said Lily while pinching Deb. Sumali na ako ngayon sa tawanan nila, or else baka mapansin pa ni Nadia ang sobrang pagtitig ko sakanya

Deb smirked "gayahin moko baka sakaling makahanap ka ng papa mo. Pati ikaw Sammy baka sakaling madiligan yang inaalagaan mong petchay at pakwan"

I rolled my eyes on her not minding what she said, cause i'm not interested anyway. I would rather keep myself company than waste my time introducing my own. Alam nilang lima na wala akong oras sa ganyan, ni hindi ko nga alam kung paano magmahal, like I can't imagine myself doing some crazy stuff like most of the couples do. Just no. I'm fine. I don't want one

"Gaga ka talaga Deb si Sam pa sinabihan mo ng ganyan e pusong bato ata meron yan!"Sabi ni Lily na sinuklian ko naman ng matalim na tingin

"Talim ng titig, Zoe hide me! mahal kopa buhay ko no" sabay tago niya sa likod ni Zoe.

"Hell no babe. I wouldn't even catch a bullet for you" sagot ni Zoe sakanya sabay alis palayo kay Lily

"Langya!" Lily said while pointing Zoe's face, she exaggeratedly inhale kaya napahalakhak kami. Among us, she's the most playful one

"If only the boys could see this" I said and then smile after remembering the times we used to be together. Nagkikita parin naman kaming lahat but these past days naging mas busy sila lalo na dahil nasa College na ang ilan at patapos na sina Van at Prince

"Yeah I miss them, if only hindi manhid yung van na yon, hmmp!" Lily said, everyone knows she likes him, even Giovanni himself. Van already rejected her a couple of times already pero masyadong matatag si Lily, kahit pa na nasasaktan siya after those rejections... magpapatuloy parin siya. Siya pa mismo ang nanliligaw kay Van kaya naiinis sakanya si Deb

Since pinag uusapan narin namin yon, Zoe planned on booking a hotel in subic for us, para naman daw mabuo kami ulit since the boys are in college nga, kaya hindi na kami masyadong nagkakasama

"Then, should we invite Ian too?" Tanong ko kaya naagaw ko ang attention nila "Zoe? Do you think your brother would come? Lagi nalang kasing umaayaw, ano bang problema non?"

"Hmm" nag iisip siya bago siya nagkibit balikat "I'll ask, pero feeling ko malabo, kilala niyo naman siya. He doesn't always come with us, kung pupunta man iyon, then it's a miracle!"

"Oo nga. May girlfriend ba 'yon?" Tanong ni Deb "Maiintindihan ko pa sana kung may girlfriend siya kaya hindi siya sumasama "

"Wala" iling ni Zoe "If he has, then dadalhin niya agad sa bahay, so our parents could meet her. Hindi naman kasi 'yon makikipag girlfriend kung hindi siya sigurado sa future niya with a girl. Right Sam?" She asked

"H-ha?" Nalilito kong tanong, isa isa ko silang tinignan to understand things more. Nagkamot ako ng batok "ang ano ba?" Nalilito ko paring tanong

Lily sighed, napa face palm siya "Sam talaga, kailan ba maalis yang pagiging manhid mo?" Tanong niya na sinamahan agad ng mga kasama namin

"Ang alin nga?" Tanong ko ulit. I really don't get what's Zoe's trying to ask. Bakit kasi sa'kin siya nagtatanong?

"Sabi ko nga 'wag niyo nalang siyang tanungin" irap ni Lily

"Oo, isa ka pa. Sinabi mo na nga kaninang may pusong bato tapos tinanong mo pa, tanga ka rin eh no?" Ani ni Deb sakanya

Umiling si Zoe "Sayang lang at hindi tumagal si Princess sakanya. She said he's too clingy and playful but I think pilosopo lang si Kuya... or maybe I'm blind?" Anito

"I think your brother's perfectly fine" Sagot ko at ngayon nakuha ko na naman ang attention nila

"Hindi mo ba gusto si Ian?" Shane asked out of nowhere

Pumula kaagad ang pisngi ko "w-what? Ano ba namang klasing tanong 'yan, Shane?"

"A full of curious question" Seryosong sabi ni Zoe as she nod once

"Well... uhhh, pa'no ba sabihin. We're fine-

"You're fine, of course you two are fine! Ang tanong dito Sammy, is kung may gusto ka ba kay Ian" putol ni Deb sa sasabihin ko

"I don't know" iling ko. Ian and I are fine. He doesn't show any motives towards me kaya hindi ko alam kung bakit sila nagtatanong ng ganitong tanong "we're just friends"

"Right, friends" they all sighed after Shane said that

Tapos na ang break namin kaya bumalik na si Mr. Evan. Kaagad din naman nilang nakalimutan ang Tanong nila kaya hinayaan ko na. Pinilig ko ang ulo ko to stop myself from questioning their questions. I shouldn't bother thinking. Ian doesn't like me
