"Hey. .you're really stupid!"
Sophia's thought was snap back when she heard someone yelled at her back.
She realized na kanina pa hinaharass ng mga studyanteng babae ang isang studyante na nakaupo sa sahig habang sinasabunutan ng dalawa pang studyante.
"How could you just bring this?"
Isinampal nito sa pagmumukha ng babae ang kung ano mang meron sa supot na hawak hawak nito.
She was really trying hard to change but how? Kung ganito lage ang makikita nya't maririnig sa kanyang paligid?
She covered both of her ears with her hands to ignore them.
"kayo. .hawakan nyo syang mabuti!"
Utos nito sa iba pang mga studyante.
"I'm going to mark your stupid face. .pahiram!"
Anito na basta-basta nalang kinuha ang marker sa ibabaw ng kanyang desk.
"Put it back!"
aniyang hawak ang pulso nito.
"What?"
Nabigla namang tanong ng babae sa kanya.
"Haisst!" she hissed. "I already said what I said!"
She said coldly, the girl was trying to snatch her wrist pero mas hinigpitan pa niya ang paghawak dito.
"Hoy ms.transferee. .if I were you, you should not stick your butt in someone else business!"
Arogante nitong sabi sabay bawi sa kamay nito.
Sophie smirked that makes them gasp in shocked.
"Kung ayaw mong magalusan yang pag mumukha mo, get lost!"
bulyaw nito sa kanya ng di sya tuminag.
She suddenly snap her finger ng makita sina Moria na naglalakad sa labas kasama ang mga gang nito. Nagulat pa ang mga ito ng makita sya at akmang tatakbo ng binigyan nya ang mga eto ng "You're dead!" sign.
wala itong nagawa kundi sumunod sa kanyang pinapagawa.
"All of you, out!"
anitong pinalabas ang ibang mga studyanteng naroroon. Dali dali namang nagsilabasan ang mga studyanteng ayaw madamay sa gulo.
"Now. .lets start!"
"What?"
Nabigla nitong tanong sa kanya.
"Moira, who is this?"
tanong nya sa nagulantang na si Moira. This is the first time na pumasok sya ng specialization class at hindi pa nya kilala ang mga ito.
"Cath. .Catherine of section 15!"
"Wow. .section 15, last section?"
Moira silently nod her head.
"Diba dapat pagtuonan mo muna ng pansin yong grades mo, kesa mambully ka ng mahina sayo?"
Natawa sina Moira sa kanyang sinabi.
"Don't be so conceited. .just because you take them down, ibig sabihin you can do the same with me!"
Cathy snorts.
"Kaya di ko lang naman ginagalaw yang mga tota mo, just because she had a connection!"
"You bitch!"
Sigaw ni Moira na akmang lalapit kay Catherine pero pinigilan nya.
"Ah.! Were talking about connection here?"
Anya sa sarili. Sophia clutch her fist tightly to control herself.
"Let's stop wasting our time talking this shit and start the real thing!"
Anyang naiinip na, their class will end soon kaya wala na syang panahong para dito.
She had to end it as soon as possible.
"Get her!"
Utos nito sa apat na naroroon pero di man lang ito nakahawak sa kanya ng isa isa nya itong itinulak sa gilid.
"You sure knows how to fight!"
panunuya nito sa kanya habang binigyan sya ng isang surprise flying kick that she countered with the same. Medyo nagulat pa ito sa di inaasang pang yayari.
"This brat knows how to play dirty!"
Sophia noted it. dahil sa paraan ng pag atake nito sa kanya, kung sa tournament sila malamang nakahandusay na sa sahig ang kalaban nito.
Now, both of their right legs were stretched up in the air.
"You know what is best, in street fighting?"
She asked before giving her a butterfly kick with out even stepping backwards.
Catherine did not expect it coming kaya tumama sa panga nito ang kanyang paa na ikinabalandra nito sa sahig.
"You're not the only one who knows how to play dirty— bitch!"
anya sa sarili habang tinapunan ng masamang tingin ang nakahandusay na studyante.
Napanganga naman sila Moira ng masaksihan ang mga pangyayari. Catherine is their school #1 teakwondo and hapkido player but Sophia take her down in just one move?
"We don't give a damn!"
anya habang inayos ang nagusot na uniform bago iniwan ang natulalang mga kaklase.
"So what if she's a number one shit in our school?"
She grew up fighting in the street like a stray kids and when you fight in there, in means you're fighting with your life, they don't give a damn about rules.
"You win you win, you lost you lost!"
simple as that. but despite of being a delinquent, she never bully someone who doesn't know how to fight.
"Wala na ba talaga akong chance magbago, Why I could never be fit in this damn world? Why I can't just close my eyes and ignore those bitches!"
Sophia asked herself out of her frustration, she grit her teeth and clutch her fist tightly parang gusto niyang sumabog sa sobrang galit.
She was standing in the rooftop looking at the world below her, while cursing every bitches who's giving her a hard life.
"Wala naman talagang problema sa mundo maliban nalang kung ikaw talaga ang problema!"
Napabaling sya ng may bigla nagsalita, she doesn't want company now. Mainit pa ang kanyang ulo kaya't wala sya sa mood.
"You're running away!"
Anito ng akmang tatalikod sya. It was not a question but rather a statement.
"What are you doing here? Boys are not supposed to be in here!"
She asked coldly ignoring what he said.
"Ah. .kaya pala ngayon lang kita nakita, you're transferee?"
anito na nakatingin sa malayo, he was sitting down with one of his legs stretch out habang naka fold naman ang isa, ang isang kamay nito ay nakaunan sa ulo while the other one is holding a book.
Looking at him, Sophia concluded that even if he's reading a book doesn't make him look like a genius, he was rather a troublemaker.
She's a troublemaker herself and it always takes one to know one!
She smirked.
"This is our common building just incase you forget!"
"Oh. .how stupid of me!"
She bit her lips, Nalala niyang hindi pa pala sya pamilyar sa kanilang skwelahan.
"I'm off, just continue reading!"
"I'm Leo. .see you next time!"
She stop in her track at marahas na napabaling sa lalaki ng marinig ang sinabi nito, she could not believe herself what she just heard,
How could this brat had an audacity to say such nonsense?
What confused her is that when he muttered those word he was reading his book as if he didn't mean what he said.
"Is he joking at me?"
she asked herself angrily.
"Hey brat—!"
inis nyang baling rito.
"I don't have any enterest whatsoever with you! You don't know me. .We will never see each other—again!"
She said it with finality before leaving him.
"I found her!"
casual niyang sabi sa sarili, he could not help himself but smile.
It's not true na ngayon lang niya nakita si Sophia. Maraming beses na nyang itong nakita pero ngayon lang niya ito nakausap at nakita ng malapitan.
"I know you. .We're both living in a different world, Princess!"
Ani Leo na nakangiti ng makahulugan habang nakatuon ang pansin sa kanyang aklat.
