Chapter Twenty: Zoey
Naomi's POV:
Nung tumakbo si Ate Zoey palayo. Sinampal ni Ate Steph si Kuya Blake sa mukha at umalis na. Pero ang pinakamalala ay si Ate Aubrey, she almost killed Kuya Blake. Sinakal nya kasi ito at muntik ng mawalan ng hininga, at bago pa sya umalis binigyan nya pa ng isang malakas na suntok si Kuya. Ouch. He deserves it though.
I'm worried about Ate Zoey's condition. Hindi sya na sya pumasok simula nung isang araw.
On the other side, I'm staring at him. Hays. I still love him, pero di na kagaya ng pagmamahal ko sakanya. Since I was 7 years old, he's 8 years old back then. Kahit palagi nya akong pinagtatabuyan palayo. And, I really accepted already the fact na he would never love me back, nor like me.
Palagi akong binubully noong bata ako.
"Ah hahahaha! Wala syang mama! Wala syang papa! Kawawang bata!" Sabi ng lalake sakin habang tinuturo ako at lumalabas pa yung dila.
Gusto kong isigaw yung pangalan ni Daddy. But, I can't. Daddy said I couldn't say to the other people kung sino sya because it's dangerous.
"What ugly girl? You'll cry again like you always do? Hahahahaha, coward!" Sigaw sakin nung babae
"HOY! TIGILAN NYO SYA!" Nagulat ako nung may sumigaw sa likod ko.
"Kapag nakita ko pa kayo na inaasar si Naomi, I will punch you in your face until you bleed!!!" Natakot naman yung mga bata na nangaasar sakin, kaya tumakbo sila.
"Hey Naomi, are you okay? May ginawa ba silang masama sayo?" Lumapit sya at inalalayan ako tumayo. Tinulak kasi ako.
"Y-you know m-me?" Tumingin ako sa lalake. Ang gwapo. Ang tangos ng ilong. Dark brown eyes. Pinkish lips. Makapal na kilay.
"I'm your Kuya Nathan's friend. Well, I'm his best friend. Palagi ka namin nakikita sa bahay nyo. Pero di mo kami pinapansin, si Nate lang ang tinitignan mo."
I nod for an answer.
"I'm Austin Harris Sandoval. You can call me Austin. And, simula ngayon ako na ang teacher mo."
"Teacher?"
"Yep. I'll teach you to be a strong and tough woman. So, wala ng mangbubully sayo" He patted my head at ginulo.
Since then, we were best friends. I learned how to socialize with other people. Until one day, I'm falling for him.
And I confessed. But, he said:
"Hindi kita gusto Naomi, kapatid lang ang turing ko sayo."
Someone offered a handkerchief. Tumingin ako sakanya.
"D-drew?"
"W-wipe your tears. H-hindi mo bagay umiyak. Ang p-pangit mo." What did he say?
