Chapter 2

Mikho's POV:

Hindi ako nag tagal sa school dahil marami pa kong gagawin at kailangan na daw 'yon maipasa next na pasukan. Nagstay pa sila ate Cole, Joey at Gio sa school dahil naglaro pa sila ng volleyball.

Maaga rin ako gumising para pumasok dahil may training pa kaming apat para sa laro, may paparating kasing competition, maglalaban-laban daw ang team namin at team ng ibang school.

Naglalakad ako mag-isa sa hallway dahil hinihintay ko pa yung tatlo nang may marinig akong tawanan sa bakod ng school, malapit lang rin kase ang hallway roon kaya pwede mo marinig kung ano yung nangyayari.

Iniliyad ko ang aking ulo para makita kung ano yung nangyayari at may isang babaeng umiiyak habang pinagtatawanan siya ng isang grupo ng lalake at babae, lumaki naman ang aking mata nang makita kong binuhusan ng tubig yung babae sa ulo niya. Nabitawan ko ang dala kong bag at biglang tumakbo papalapit sa kanila.

Nagulat naman silang lahat nang tinanggal ko ang jacket ko para ipatong sa babaeng umiiyak. Agad silang umatras dahil tinignan ko sila ng masama at parang nagliliyab na ang mga mata ko sa galit.

Ano ba meron sa babaeng to bat trip nila?

" Andyan na si Mikho, takbo! "

Sigaw ng isa at tumakbo naman ang ilan sa kanila para lumayo sa akin.

Damn, basa na rin ako. Wala pa naman akong pamalit tss.

" You okay? " Walang gana kong tanong sa babae na ngayon ay katabi ko at walang imik habang inaalala ang nangyari kanina. Tumango lang ito at sumisinghot pa rin, tumawa lang ako ng bahagya dahil para siyang basang sisiw at batang nagsusumbong dahil may umaway sa kaniya.

Sinong mag-aakala na may isang babaeng ganto kaganda ang binubully?

Well.. thats a fact, maganda naman talaga siya. I don't even know why she's getting bullied and i.. never saw her in the school? Kabisado ko na ang buong school kaya kilalang kilala ako, but i've never seen a beautiful girl here. I found myself looking at her, like... admiring from afar but its different, im not far away.

" Whats your name? " I ask that out of nowhere and i don't know why.. she didn't answer and just keep staring at the ground, i chuckled again.

" Ayasha, Aya nalang itawag mo sakin. " My world stopped and i froze in my position.

Thats.. ate Yves' cousin.. what a small world huh?

" So, its you " She gave me a confuse face and i chuckled over again and again like a crazy. Ang cute niya kapag confuse na confuse siya kung ano nangyayari.

Nah, what i'm thinking is freaking wrong!! She's not cute but.. my heart keep saying yes! ARRGGHH!

What are you saying Mikho?! You're out of your mind and a freaking insane!

Okay okay calm down self, we just met her so calm down

" You're ate Yves' cousin right? " She nodded at me while looking at the sky peacefully. Ang ganda niya kapag walang emosyon yung mukha niya.

" How did you know that? "

" I'm ate Cole's friend, ate Yves is her girlfriend. " She smiled at me, i hate that smile.. but nevermind i don't care at all. She suddenly held my hand, that made me flustered. Huh flustered?? I gave her a confuse face and she just chuckled.

" So.. you must be Mikho? " She chuckled again, arghhh! She's so happy, that makes me annoyed... but its fine, i always encouter things like this. But their smile annoys me and i don't know why.. maybe i'm just not a happy person and like a person full of sadness or what? Bruhhh...

" Yes, I am Mikhoel, but I prefer if you call me Mikho " She nodded and she let go of my hand slowly, that makes me calm for a bit. I opened the zipper in my bag and get my snack, and i gave it to her while she gave me a confuse face again. I just smiled and she understands what i'm saying and she starts to eat while we share the snack. Mhmm she hums because the snack is too delicious and too salty, i guess she likes Lays? Until.. she eats the food just for herself, i just let her because i know she's tired and she's wet because of the water that the bullies poured her.

After she eat, i stand up and lend a hand to her, wanting to help her to stand. She immediately accepts it, at dahan-dahan na ipinagpag nito ang kaniyang damit. Ako na ang kumuha ng kaniyang mga gamit at nilagay ito sa likuran ko, nagtaka naman siya kaya ngumiti lang ako at sinasabi ko sa aking mata na ako na ang magbubuhat ng mga gamit niya. She just nodded and starts to walk, i just followed her. I know we're already late but i don't care, atleast i made a friend... maybe?

Pagkapasok namin sa classroom ay pinagtitinginan kami ng lahat at ang professor namin ay nakatingin na rin, ngumiti lang ako ng pilit sa kaniya. Nagulat din naman sina ate Yves, ate Cole at Joey. Nakatitig lang kasi samin si Gio at hindi alam kung ano ang nangyayari. May nakita naman akong dalawang babae na katabi nila na gulat na gulat rin, yung isang babae ay sobrang balot ng pink.. daig pa barbie, tsk. Yung isa naman ay naka glasses lang at parang siya yung pinakabata sa aming lahat, ito na siguro yung mga kaibigan pa ni ate Yves.

" Ms Lim, why are you late in my class? And you, you are Ms Arceta right? " Ang babaeng katabi ko ay tumango lang at sinimulan na maglakad papalapit sa gitna para magpakilala, habang ako naman ay naka peace sign sa professor namin at tumango lang siya tsaka na ako dumiretso sa upuan ko na nasa pagitan lang ni ate Cole at ng isang upuan na walang nakaupo, nasa tabi naman nito si Joey na katabi ni Gio. Iisang row rin kase kaming magkakaibigan.

" Hi guys, my name is Maraiah Queen Arceta. Just call me Aiah, i live from Cebu and my hobbies is to play with my dogs and cats.. thats all thank you. " I smiled at my desk knowing that she has confidence and the professor just nodded.

" Okay Ms Arceta, sit beside Ms Lim. " She nodded and went to the chair that is beside me, i helped her sit and she smiled while i just nod. Siniko naman ako ni ate Cole ng marahan at mahina na parang nang-aasar, inirapan ko lang ito at humalakhak siya ng mahina,

mapangasar talaga to eh

" Okay uhm, since the two students over there na hindi pa nag i-introduce, punta kayo dito sa gitna. " Tumayo naman yung dalawang babae na nasa tabi lang ni ate Yves at ito ay pumunta sa gitna. Unang nagpakilala yung babaeng sobrang pink yung suot.

" Hi everyone! My name is Stacy Aurelie Sevilleja, i'm from Nueva Vizcaya and i like pink, halata naman sa suot ko diba? And i thank you! " argghhh, sobrang kikay naman nito, shes also too loud!! Next naman na nagpakilala yung isang babae na kasama niya.

" Hi guys! My name is Shina Mei Catacutan, i'm from Isabela and i love to make people laugh! Thank you, mwa!! " She's oa for a little bit but its okay.. i guess.. well i just hope na masaya siya kasama. But.. base on ate Yves' kwento ay masayahin daw iyon at tawa ng tawa, malakas din daw tawa niya. I guess.. a little fun, bakit hindi subukan diba?

Umupo na yung dalawang babae sa tabi ni ate Yves at naglesson lang yung professor maghapon na hanggang sa mag lunch na, balak ko sana ilibre si Aya ng pagkain. Naabutan ko siyang nagliligpit ng mga gamit niya kaya nilapitan ko naman ito agad.

" Uh hey.. " Lumingon lang siya sa akin ng hindi tinatanggal ang tingin sa kaniyang bag at nag-aayos pa rin. She just hummed as an answer.

" Uhm.. gusto sana kita ilibre ng lunch? You know... sasabay kase ako kila ate Cole so baka gusto mo na rin sumama? " She just nodded and finished fixing her things, nandito pa rin sila ate Cole at hinihintay kami. Ngumiti lang ito na nang-aasar at naintindihan naman agad ni Joey ang iniisip nito habang si Gio ay nakatingin lang dun kay Shina. Natamaan ata si giochalant?

" Ikaw Mikhs ah, 'di mo sinabi samin na dalaga ka na pala " Nang-aasar na saad ni ate Cole, binigyan ko naman ito ng kunot na noo at itinaas ang kamay na kunyareng aamba na ng suntok. Tumawa lang naman yung mga tarantado at inasar ako ng inasar. Sinamahan ko lang sila, kasama na rin namin si Stacy at Shina. I guess new friends?.. new cof din

I guess.. this will be a great school year. Thank you lord, i have found my true friends, new circle again..

please be good at me this time lord, sana hindi na maulit yung dati.
