Arcane Kalea Lee

College days...

Nakakainis! Palagi nalang ako nabubully. Ano bang nagawa kong mali? Why they don't like me? Sinusunod ko naman ang mga gusto nila, pero kung tratuhin nila ako parang basura.

Sigaw ng puso ko, habang nakaharap ako sa salamin at umiiyak.

Until when should I wear this glasses? Hanggang kelan ba ako magiging panget sa paningin nila?

"Kalie?"

The door swung open, and I hastily wiped away my tears. Kitty, my close friend from Albany Medical University, entered. We both called here nerds.

"Kalie, wag mo nalang pansinin sila Chiara. Alam mo naman na inggit lang yun dahil anak ka ni Doc Lee. Tapos―"

"That's enough, Kitty. I don't want to hear that anymore. They're always put me down because of that. They say I'm not actually really good in academics at akala nila kaya lang ako napasama sa Dean's ay dahil anak ako ni Doc. Lee."

I couldn't help but burst into tears, and Kitty was there to comfort me wholeheartedly. Sobra naappreciate ko talaga ang presensya ni Kitty ngayon lalo na sa ganitong situation. Pasalamat talaga ako dahil may kaibigan akong kagaya nya.

Bumalik na kami sa classroom. Pagdating namin doon lahat nakatingin saamin ni Kitty. Nagtatawanan habang tinuturo kami. Kaya nagtaka naman ako.

"Alright, classmates, pay attention. I have something to tell you. It's a letter from the heart of the queen of the nerds. None other than Arcane Kalea Lee."

They cracked up laughing while their attention was on Chiara, na ngayon ay nakatayo sa harapan.  Suddenly, my heart started pounding like crazy. Hindi ko maipaliwanag para syang sasabog.. Ay mali! Para syang matutunaw. Yung tipong mag e'evaporate tapos magiging raindrops. Ay mali ulit! Tears pala..tapos papatak na mula sa mga mata ko.

In that moments, Chiara raised her hand holding my diary. My jaw dropped, so I quickly ran towards her to stop her. No! Everything I feel for Drake is written in there. Drake is the heartthrob on campus.

"No! Don't touch my precious diary!" I yelled and sprinted as fast as I could. But before I could snatch my diary from Chiara's hand, she chucked it to another classmate of ours. They started passing it around, like playing a game.

Labis ang hiya na naramdaman ko, iyak ako nang iyak habang inaagaw sa kanila ang Diary ko. But I felt even more devastated when they started reading it in front of my crush, Drake.

Nakarating ako ng rooftop ng Albany Med Building. Restricted ang lugar na ito para sa mga students na gaya ko. Pero hindi ko na kaya ang mabuhay pa.

"I'm so tired! I just want to die!" I shouted.

"Ikaw Chiara akala mo maganda ka?! Makapal ka lang mag make-up! Pero panget ka din!"

"Ikaw naman Laira! Feeling MVP ka sa volleyball? Nagbabayad lang ang parents mo kay coach! Para maretained yung title mo!"

"At ikaw Lucy?! Loser ka! Loser!"

"Magpapakamatay ako, tapos pag mamatay ako mumultuhin ko kayo!"

Nahintuan ako saglit. Ay wag! "Teka! Hindi sila pwede mamatay, ayoko sila makasama sa kabilang buhay. Baka.. Nasa langit na kami binubully parin nila ako. No! Ayoko!"

Sinilip ko sa ibaba. Parang hindi ko kaya na tumalon sa ganito kataas.. Masakit yata. Tapos ang naalala ko na tinuro sa med school. Mas mataas na floor mas malakas ang impact. Kung nasa 7th floor ako ang impact non ay para akong nabunggo ng sasakyan na may speed na 80 kilometer per hour.
