My Highschool Lovelife

Chapter II: Slaps, Kicks, and All

Diana's POV

I'm early for school today. Oh look, Jerry is here already. I better get to my seat quickly before he---

"Hi, Diana," biglang sabi nya.

NEVER MIND.

"Swerte tayo and we are the first ones here, even the teacher isn't here yet! Tanong ko lang may homework ba tayo?", tanong nya sa akin.

"Nope," ang simpleng sagot ko.

Then he kicked me. And said, "2 kicks and a slap."

Oh yeah. I forgot the dare. Just remembered it when... you know.

"You thought I forgot the dare. Hindi ko yun makakalimutan dahil masarap sipain at sampalin ka," he said then laughed.

I just rolled my eyes at him. Dahil HINDI NAKAKATUWA.

PAGDAAN NG SAMPUNG MINUTO...

Nandito na sina David, Derrick, at Katie. They waved at me when they came by. Ngumiti lang ako pabalik sa kanila.

Umupo sila sa kanilang mga upuan. David and Derrick went to their usual backseats, at si Katie ay tumabi sa akin.

Kinausap niya ako tungkol sa detention namin kahapon. "Harsh ba yun detention room? Anong itsura nya?"

Ang sagot ko: "Wala lang. Tahimik, magulo, at madumi. That's all I can say... for now."

Maybe she felt really sorry for me. After all, she wasn't with me when I went to the detention room. Halos hindi ko maalis-alis sa utak ko yun moment na yun.

Jerry's POV

Kaming lima pa lang nandito. Bakit ang tagal ng iba? Gamitin ko na muna phone ko.

Konting games, konting Facebook, konting Wattpad...

PAGDAAN NG LIMANG MINUTO...

I'm finally done with Section 1 of "Anarcute". It was an awesome game. You had to raid an army of cute animals na lalaban over the government. Masaya talagang laruin at nakakawala ng stress...

SIDENOTE: ANARCUTE IS A REAL GAME. THE DESCRIPTION JERRY SAID IS REAL. I SAW YOUTUBE GAMEPLAYS OF IT.

"Wait lang, Jerry. May titingnan ako. Saglit lang," biglang sabi ni David tapos hablot sa phone ko.

"HEY! GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE!" I shouted. I heard Diana and Katie whispering "Fight, fight, fight!" sa ilalim ng mga hininga nila.

David gave me back the phone on 9GAG. It was on a video of screaming goats.

PAGKATAPOS PANOORIN NI JERRY YUN VIDEO...

"HAHAHAHHAAHAAHHAHA!", sobrang pagtawa ko. Maya-maya, nakisali rin sina David at Derrick in my laughter tantrum.

Katie's POV

"Psst. Diana," bulong ko sa katabi ko. "Doon muna tayo sa labas ng room. Mukhang nakatakas sa mental hospital tong tatlong to."

Lumabas kami ni Diana ng room. Good thing we were unnoticed.

"Galing ng joke mo kanina!", sabi ni Diana sa akin.

Then I joked again, "Kulang pa nga yun eh. Hindi lang sila nakatakas sa mental hospital, pinanganak silang PSYCHO!"

Nagtawanan kaming dalawa sa labas ng room.

PAGTAPOS NG LIMANG MINUTONG TAWANAN...

"Wait lang, wait lang. Sa tagal ng tawanan natin, ngayon ko lang napansin. Tahimik na," biglang sabi ni Diana.

She was right. Pumasok kami sa loob ng room. Mukhang nag-drawing contest sila. Hindi na namin tatanungin kung anong topic ng contest nila. We'll have a drawing contest of our own. Or we can use our phones, or play "Tic-Tac-Toe", or just do individual drawings. Eh, whatever.

PAGDAAN NG KLASE HANGGANG SA RECESS...

Jerry's POV

Masarap na cookies ang baon ko ngayon. *kumagat sa cookie*

OH MA GAWD! Ang sarap ng cookies na ito. Magpapabili pa ako ng ganito sa nanay ko pag-uwi ko.

"Hey, Jerry," hello ni Diana sa akin. Kumaway ako pabalik.

"Nagtataka lang ako kaya natanong ko to... umm... anong video yun pinanood nyo sa 9GAG that made you three laugh so hard?"

"Well, it's this..."

Pinakita ko yun video kay Diana. It was a video of a DOG being chased by a CAT being chased by a MOUSE being chased by CHEESE!

She laughed so hard, she nearly went into "ROFL Mode".

"Jerry, Diana, DETENTION ROOM! NOW!", ang sigaw ng teacher namin sa bintana ng room.

Seriously? Two detentions in a row. Are you kidding me?  I think life is trying to take his toll back.

Diana's POV

Pumasok na kami ni Jerry sa detention room. It was the same as how we left it yesterday. Someone should clean it up someday.

We sat in our old seats.

Nakita ko ang daming ibon sa bintana. I tried to take pictures of them, pero palagi silang lumilipad palayo.

I tried to use my phone, pero nakalimutan kong i-charge sa bahay. Dang it!

I had no other choice.

Drawing it is. We meet again, my fellow drawing book.

I practiced with anime drawings, then with animated drawings, then with real-life objects.

PAGTAPOS NG LIMANG MINUTO...

I have filled 3 pages back-to-back with random drawings. Sobrang mabilis pala makatapos ng gawain kapag determined ka na matapos mo.

"Hey, Diana. May tatanungin lang ako. Mahilig ka bang maglaro?"

"Nope," sagot ko. Then he kicked me. He kicked me hard. REAL HARD.

"Kick count:3 and Slap count:1."

Ugh. I wish I didn't accept the dare. I just wish that dares these days should be explained first before you can decide whether to accept them or not. Nakakainis talaga.

I drew and drew and drew and drew and drew. I just hoped we would be out of the room soon. Kept repeating it in my head:

PLEASE LET US OUT NOW.
PLEASE LET US OUT NOW.
PLEASE LET US OUT NOW.
PLEASE LET US OUT NOW.
PLEASE LET US OUT NOW.
PLEASE LET US OUT NOW.
PLEASE LET US OUT NOW.
PLEASE LET US OUT NOW.
PLEASE LET US OUT NOW.

When all of a sudden...

"Time's up! Pwede na kayong lumabas. See you tomorrow...", ang sabi ng teacher sa amin sa labas ng room.

My wish came true. Nakalabas na kami sa "kulungan" namin. But still, 2 detentions in a row? That's just unreal. It never happened to anyone in our school before... well... ummm, except now. Obviously.

Kailangan makauwi na ako para... ma-charge ko yun phone ko. Naiinis pa rin ako at hindi ko nagamit ngayon. Buti na lang Saturday bukas. It's good. I can DOUBLE my phone using time tomorrow to make up for the time I didn't use it today. It was another busy day in a highschool student's life.
