UNEXPECTED LOVE

05

The whispers whenever she's around haven't subside instead it grew more intense. She had not missed the meaningful smile of Ysa and Bel gave her and of course the glare that some fourth year girls threw at her.

She glared back of course. Challenging those girls to do something. But they all just huffed back at her irritably before looking away.

"Bea probably managed to get into her skirt after all." A few girls glared at her as they passed by Cait. They stomped away angrily when Bel glared at them calling them ugly bitches.

Nagpatuloy pa ito hanggang sa breakfast nya at nasira na ang kanyang mood buong umaga. Isa pang magsasabi nun sa kanya at hindi nya na mapipigilan pa, sasabog na talaga sya.

Bea suddenly came all far too shiny for her own good.

"Hi, Cait!" she greeted her, which she didn't acknowledge again.

"Since you said yesterday that you don't drink coffee how about we go for that ice cream that I told you about. It's a good treat yourself for something sweet right after we studied so hard together like yesterday don't you think so? I promise I won't let you sit on the grass this time." She enthusiastically bounced on the floor which made the people around snicker at her display of affection.

When Cait didn't respond Bea continued to converse with her, ignoring the people around them as if they don't really exist.

"Oh by the way..have you gotten a good grade? Were you able to sleep good this time? Come on! Let's get some ice cream later or probably you prefer some milk shake?  Bea stopped the minute Cait hissed at her.

"Stop it." She gritted right through her teeth "Do not act like we are so close you and me spent a day together. We just sat there. You did your own thing and I did mine! Don't go around places telling people that you spent a day with me or we went out on a date or you managed to get into my skirt because it won't happen, Bea. So stop buggering me and leave me alone!" She said angrily, stood up from where she was sitting.

"I.. ok. I'm sorry. I'll go then." Everyone in the hall did not miss the defeated look on Bea as she walked away, not missing as well the sudden blurring of her eyes that seemed to look so teary as she walked out of the hall signalling her friends that was on the brink of following her out to stay still and leave her alone.

Cait watch her and sat down where she found out that everyone, including her own friends were glaring at her.

"You know what? You are a hell of a bitch sometimes." Ysa cleared her table, picked her food and walked out of the hall.

"What the hell?" Cait stared at her back before turning towards Bel. "Are you going to walked out of me too because of her?"

Bel rolled her eyes before shaking her head at her stubborn friend. " For your information, Bea De Leon was not running around school telling everyone that you both actually spend time together yesterday. Haven't you thought that perhaps the place where you were both sitting at were at the middle of the school? Clearly seen by all?"

Cait gaped. "And for fucks sake, Cait. You are dreaming about this to happen, a lover who will one day save your boring ass from this cruel world. The one that you said will protect you from every evil! The one who will accept you for who you are. There she was! Trying her best to woo you  and make you happy and what are you doing? Making sure to push her away by slapping everything including all the misdeed that she had done in the past back to her face. You are a cruel witch you know." Bel stared straight at her again before walking out as well.
