Chapter 13

His back

Hazel

"Hay, alam mo hindi na kita maintindihan." Ani ni Louraine na nakaupo sa tabi ko. I became used of her being with me. Wala akong magagawa. She's annoying as hell so better embrace her annoyance.

"Mas hindi ko maintindihan ang relasyon niyo nung letseng lalaking yon." Walang kwentang sabi ko at nakita ko namang namula siya.

She and the guy who pushed her are in a complicated relationship. Hindi ko sila maintindihan eh. One time they'll be looking at each other like they never saw each other for years; then one time they'll fight like cats and dogs.

"B-bakit ako? Ikaw pinag-uusapan dito eh!" Pag-dedeny niya at sumimangot. Ugh, she looked irritatingly cute even when she's annoyed. "Kasi naman, kahapon kasi..." Paninimula niya. I chuckled because of her. She looks so innocent right now.

"Kasi, kahapon...bigla niya akong hinalikan." Kwento niya. Mas natawa naman ako nang pumula ang buong muk-"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?!" I shouted. Lalo siyang namula dahil nakuha namin ang atensiyon ng buong cafeteria. Hell I care! Who kissed who?!

"Ayusin mo ang kwento mo Louraine or I'll slap that jack-ass right now." I warned her and she just drew squares on her lap. Ganyan naman siya pag kinakabahan.

Many things happened in two weeks. I accepted Louraine because of some...circumstances. We became more closer and I just observed a lot of things about her.

"Eh! Wag ka muna kasing magalit." Aniya at napairap lang ako sakaniya. I didn't say anything that made her more nervous.

"K-kasi ano...I was at the park last night. Tapos ano...tapos, he was there. I was sad...and then...you know." Magulong kwento niya kaya napa-face palm nalang ako. Ugh! It's hard to talk to her!

"Just make sure not to fall for that guy Louraine. He's a jack-ass, a bad-ass, and an as-swhole-" Hindi pa ako tapos ng hampasin niya ang balikat ko ng mahina.

"Don't say that. Everyone has a reason why they have different attitudes." Pagtatanggol niya at napairap nanaman ako. "He's...not that bad." She continued that made me more furious.

"Don't talk to me." I told her and left.

Nakakainis. Isn't it obvious that I was a bit...just a little bit worried about her? Ako na nga itong pinagsasabihan siya tapo-"Sh-it." I groaned nang may pumitik sa noo ko bigla. Sinamaan ko nang tingin ang taong iyon at napairap nalang.

"You seem lost." Aniya. "You okay?" Tanong ni Kobe at pinigilan ang sarili kong pansinin siya.

Inirapan ko ulit siya at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. Mukha naman siyang timang dahil sunod siya ng sunod sa akin. Pati ang mga tao sa buong univeristy mahahalatang sinusundan niya ako. Ugh! Nakakairita!

Kapag kakanan ako ay kakanan din siya. Minsang nagpaikot ikot ako sa isang fountain sa univeristy at sumunod din siya. Ngayon kumaliwa ako, kumaliwa din siya. Ugh!

"Pwede bang wag kang sumunod sakin?" Naiinis na sabi ko pagkatalikod pero laking pamumula ko nang makitang nakatalikod siya sa kabilang direksiyon. Nandon siya at mukhang paakyat na sa hagdan. Kasama niya pa ang mga katropa at kalaro niya. Natawa sila at nagpatuloy lang sa pag akyat ng hagdan.

Shit. Bwiset! Nakakahiya!

Napalingon siya sa akin at ngumisi. Nagtawanan naman ng mahina ang ibang taong nakakita sa katangahan ko at ako naman ay nagpatuloy lang sa paglalakad na parang walang nangyare.

Ugh! Umayos ka Hazel. That's fine. Minsan kailangan nating mapahiya.

Pero bwiset padin siya! Tsk!

Habang naglalakad at nakita ko si Charles na kausap ang isang estudyateng di ko kilala. Malay ko ba. All I know is it's a girl. Lumapit ako sakanila at mukhang nairita siya dahil sa ginawa ko. I held his arms and smiled at the girl.

"Hi there. Sino ka?" I asked her and she rolled her eyes on me. "Okay Charles. Bukas nalang ah?" She lastly said and left. Bastos na bata iyon, hindi manlang ako pinansin!

Biglang inalis ni Charles ang kamay ko sa braso niya. Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin. "If you want to be in a serious relationship, then act like you love me first. Dahil hindi kita papakawalan hangga't hindi natutupad ang plano ko." I said. Napaigting ang panga niya na ikinatuwa ko.

Oh how I love seeing him pissed of. "See you darling!" I teased him and left.

And when I turned around, I saw Hilary.

Mag-isa lang siya. Ang sama ng tingin niya sa akin. She suddenly approached me and slapped me. I was caught off guard and when I realized what she just did, I slapped her back, hard... twice.

"Don't you dare touch my pretty... pretty face." I warned her pero hindi siya nagpatinag. Sasampalin na sana niya ulit ako nang may sumalo non. I looked at the owner of that hand and I saw Charles. He looked serious as he look at Hilary.

And then the harmless girl started crying. Oh God, here we go again.

"C-Charles...akala ko ba...akala ko ako lang?" Aniya at napairap naman ako. Her tears kept on falling at aalis na sana ako nang hilahin ako ni Charles sakaniya.

"Wala na Hilary. We're over. I'm in love with this girl now." He said at sandaling natigil ang hininga ko. Mabilis naman akong naka-recover at inikot ang kamay ko sa bewang ni Charles. I gave her my bitch-I-won smile at mas naiyak naman siya.

"A-ang daming pwede mong ipalit Charles! Bakit si Hazel pa? B-bakit ang kapatid ko pa!" Sigaw na na nagpasinghap sa marami. I heard a lot of murmurs. Nanlaki naman ang mata ko.

Hindi alam ng karamihan na kapatid ko siya. I don't want to share that disgusting information. I hate it. I hate being related to her.

Nagsimulang lumakas ang tsismisan at napairap naman ako sakaniya.

"Kapatid? Don't make me laugh Hilary. I don't like you. I hate you. How dare you say that you're my sister." I disgustingly told her at lalo pa siyang umarte at ngumawa. D-mn it. Nakakairita na siya!

"You stole him! You stole him so you can make me cry! Ngayong napaiyak mo na ako, masaya ka na ba?!" Sigaw niya at pakiramdam ko ay lalong dumami ang tao sa paligid.

"Really? I didn't steal him sis. Dahil una't sapul palang, pinaglalaruan ka lang naman niya. Don't act blind Hilary. Charles is a player. Don't expect that he'll be serious in your relationship, as you call it!" I said. It's true. Charles is a cold hearted jerk who only plays with girls. Tanga siya dahil minahal niya ang ganitong klaseng lalaki.

I was about to touch her face to tease her nang bigla siyang mahimatay. Nagulat ako dahil nataranta ang lahat. Even Charles went to her. They all went to her and I'm all left alone...looking stupid.

Tumalikod ako para umalis nalang ngunit natigilan ako nang makita ko si Luke.

He was holding a clear plastic with chocolate drinks on it. Yung madalas niyang ibigay sa akin. I was about to speak when I saw his shocked face. Narinig ba niya? Did he hear everything I said? I was about to approach him when he stepped back.

Then he did one thing that was very unexpected.

He turned his back on me.
