What Are We

Chapter 8

"El, how's your weekend?" Arry asked. We're here now in basketball court. Seating at the bench to get some air.

"Fine." I said and sip my Plus juice.

"Bakit mukhang hindi naman? May nangyari ba?" Range face looks worried. I smiled to him.

"Okay naman talaga. These fast few days my feelings are difficult to identify. Neither I was happy or sad. Or just my feelings right now are complicated at the fact so many things come up."

"Gaya ng?" Drella asked while she's combing her hair. Napatingin naman ako sa kaniya at ganon rin siya.

Someone gave me a basket of a huge teddy bear and my favorite sweets.

He's also texting me too.

I don't know him.

"Inaasar ako nila Kuya e." 'Yun na lamang ang lumabas sa bibig ko. I can't say those to them baka lalo pa silang magtanong ng magtanong o kaya naman magkaroon ng clue's at mag inbestigasyon pang nalalalaman.

"P*ta ang init naman dito sa pwesto natin." I heard Range murmured.

"Ang hirap nga namang napapalibutan ka ng mga kapatid na lalaki noh? Buti ako only child." si Arry.

"Utot mo!" Singhal ni Range sa kaniya. "May kapatid ka kaya. Hindi mo lang tinuturing na kapatid kasi lagi kang niyayamot!" Range was right.

"Utot mo rin. Baho mo!" Singhal pabalik ni Arry. Umirap lang sa hangin si Range.

"So, kayo? How are you guys?" I asked back. Alanganin namang napainom ng tubig si Drella at saka nagkatinginan ang tatlo. Nangunot ang noo ko. "Why? Is there something that I don't need to know?"

Umiling iling si Drella habang patuloy parin ang pag-inom.

"C'mon people. Tell me."

"Boyfriend na ni Drella si Klausyer." Daretsang sagot ni Arry habang nakatingin sa ibang direksyon ngunit kita sa mukha niya na ilang siyang sabihin iyon.

"The hell Drel? Mag one week palang tayong pumapasok dito tapos boyfriend mo na kaagad?" I blurted out.

"Gwapo kasi." Drella said and pouted.

"And that's all the reason why do you boyfriend him? Baka nga hindi ka pa niligawan."

"I know, but he said he will still court me even when were together."

I didn't talk back.

Nang nakita kong umayos ng upo si Range ay agad akong pumuwesto pahiga at ginawang unan ang hita niya.

Bakas sa mukha niya ang gulat at yamot ngunit kinalauna'y hinayaan nalang rin niya.

Nakaharap at nakatingin ako sa bubong ng court habang ang aking paligid ay tahimik. Tanging mga huni at tunog lang ng mga punong hinahangin ang aming naririnig.

"Sathra! Diba may pasok kayo ngayon sa Science subject?" I heard Arry asked. Siguro ay may mga estudyanteng kapapasok lang sa court dahil naririnig ko na ang ilang ingay.

"Start daw ng two pm, vacant lahat ng students." When I heard that, I immediately got up from lying down. Then saw Sathra and her friends open up to me.

They saw me and others waved their hands and just smile at me.

It's fun to think that since we got in here no one has fought badly. Mostly transferee's are being bullied but now it's different. They are friendly and nice to us.
