6 Kabanata 5

"Aray!" yan ang una kong sabi nang nakatapak ako sa cafeteria nung lunch time.

May sumaklolo naman sa akin at walang iba kung di si, "What happened?"

Alfred Chicken. I almost rolled my eyes just because its me.

Damn. Pinalis ko ang mga kamay niya na humawak sa akin.

I made way for other students behind me.

For crying out loud. Wrong timing talaga si Period pain! Ginaya rin ni Alfred ang ginawa ko, he moved aside beside me.

Itetext ko na sana si Ryn Do pero bigla ako kinabahan. I bit my lips inwards and looked at Alfred in the eyes.

"I'm screwed." He just stared at me.

Nang mapansin ko na titingin siya sa may likod ko. Pinisil ko yung shoulder niya.

"Huwag mo na tignan, for chris' sakes!"

Namutla siya sa sinabi ko. Kahit na malakas ang pagkakasabi ko nun. I made sure na siya lang ang nakarinig. Sa sobra ba namang dami ng mga estudyante na nagkukumpulan na sa cafeteria, may makakarinig pa ba sa akin?

Dumating si Ryn Do at napansin niya kami sa gilid. She looked at me like saying, 'What are you doing here?'

I just looked at her and tried to mentally tell her that my period has come.

Pero hindi niya syempre ako naintindihan.

Si Alfred na ang bumulong at nagsabi sa kanya ng aking dilemma.

Napa-oh ang porma ng mga labi ni Ryn Do.

And with that nag-ala mission impossible kami. Yun bang bago ako umexit sa cafeteria, hinarang na ni Alfred yung likod niya sa akin.

Tumalikod ako at naglakad palabas ng exit.

Nang makalabas ako pinuntahan ko yung gwardya dun sa gate ng hs building.

Estudyante rin ang gwardya and she's our junior schoolmate(underclassman).

I told her I need to get back to my room and get my period pads. She nodded and I briskly walked upstairs.

Nakasunod sila Ryn di kalayuan.

And guess what, if ever I wasn't in a sticky situation right now, baka tumawa ako ng malakas dahil sa pinagagawang moves para matakpan ako ni Alfred.

Binatukan ko ng mahina nang nasa room na kami. Aaray sana siya pero di niya tinuloy.

"It's already lunch time, bakit pa kayo nandito?" Hala that voice!

Lilingon na sana ako pero nagsalita si Alfred.

"Kard! My man, my girl here is in a emergency crisis, so we just came up again to assist her." Nang makuha ko na yung period pouch ko, humarap ako kay Kard.

The room was dark and so is he. In-on ni Ryn ang ilaw at nasilayan ko ang aking crush.

Magdeday dream pa sana ako ng kalugin ako ni Alfred. "Quelly, your emergency?"

Ay. Oo nga pala. Tumikhim ako and side way walk to another door of the classroom.

Dalawa kasi mga pintuan ng bawat classrooms ng hs building. Liban na lang kung teacher's lounge. Isang double door ang

meron yun.

Kard stared all through out my side way walking. Why was I weirdly walking like that?

Kasi yung pulang thingy na meron ang mga babae every month? Yun tumagos hanggang sa palda ng uniporme ko.

It could've been worse. Last time was yet the worst one. During lunch time rin.

My period made a huge flow and it surpassed my pad position. I don't know why my cycle is too heavy.

Maybe it's because I walk too much. Nah never mind that. My emergency. So yeah, last time was the worst cause it made my skirt turn to color red.

Buti na lang talaga may nagsabi sa akin and I swiftly went to the bathroom to change my pad and wash the blood on my skirt.

Ako lang naman nandun sa CR so it was hassle free for me to wash the palda.

I just used water and since it hasn't been that long. The stain got washed off.

That time, I was still a loner and was contented that way. I dried my skirt by sitting on the first step of the bleachers, wherein the sun rays were.

Thank G, I survived that.
