Until We Met Again

CHAPTER 2: KRIZCHA "THE HIGH SCHOOL TOP STUDENT"

"Krizchaaaaaaaaa!!! Jusku, ikaw talagang bata ka! Ano tong ginawa mo kay Ms. Teemang at kay aga-agang tumawag para sabihang pumunta daw ako ng school nyo at may mahalaga daw syang sasabihin tungkol sa attitude mo? Nag bubulakbol ka na ba anak?"

"Ma... ang aga-aga nagsisigaw ka dyan. Teka lang po, nasa CR pa po ako."

"Aba'y bilisan mo dyan at dadaan pa tayo sa office ni Ms. Teemang"

Hindi nga ako nagkamali. Syempre nagsumbong yung gurang na yun. Hindi ko naman kasalanang nahilo ako at nagsuka ah? Okay, medyo kasalanan ko nga kasi uminom ako nung nakaraang gabi bago yung araw na yun, pero hindi ko naman sinasadya at hindi ko namang gustong sukahan sya. Attitude agad?! Minsan talaga may pagka O.A si ma'am. AY hindi pala minsan ... PALAGI lalo na kung tungkol sa akin. Ang bait-bait naman nyan kay Trim.

Top student nga ako pero hindi ako yung tipong teachers' favorite. Actually, kadalasan pa nga akong kaaway nila. Sorry na. Di ko lang talaga kasi mapigilan yung sarili kong icorrect sila kapag may mali sila.. pero I do it naman in a polite way. Ewan ko ba sa kanila kung bakit hate na hate nila ako. Pero hindi naman sa point na as in ayaw na talaga nila sa akin. Ay basta.

Hindi rin ako sikat sa school. Isa lang ako sa mga estudyanteng palakad lakad sa hallway. Kakain sa canteen with bestie Trim nang tahimik. Joke! Syempre pag kasama si Trimmiiee, imposibleng tumahimik yung mundo mo. Nasa library tuwing vacant at mag-aaral. Di naman ako pangit pero hindi lang talaga ako attractive para sa mga guys dito. May mga nanliligaw, pero I choose to say no. Alam nyo na siguro yung dahilan. 

I'm afraid to trust.... again. Okay nagiging madrama na to.

"Krizcha! Ano ba! Naghihintay na yung daddy mo oh. Ang tagal mo talagang magbihis bata ka."

"Eto na nga po mommy."

Ako na nga lang talaga ang hinihintay nila. Daddy is in his usual formal suit at nagkakape. Mommy is the one different today. She looks like one of those kontrabida mothers in dramas. Wow. Is she really taking this seriously?

"Ma... san punta mo?"

" Sa school mo nga, baby."

"Eh bakit parang nakabihis ka na parang ready to attack?"

"Anong pinagsasabi mo dyan?"

"Hon... she's right. Anong nakain mo at kailangan mong mag bihis ng ganyan at mag make up ng parang hitong may sobrang pulang hasang?"

"Daddy! HAHAHAHA"     "Hon!"

"What? Look, hon. You look better without the makeup on. You're pretty enough without those things."

"EHEM. Really... dad? Tignan mo si mommy.. aasa nanaman yan mamaya."

"You hush there little girl. Kaya ako nag ganito kasi baka ma-attack ko talaga yang Teemang na yan. Anong pinagsasabi nyang may attitude problem ka daw?"

"Ma.. you don't wanna talk about that while we're eating."

"I'm sure naman, Hon, na its nothing. Our girl is kind. She won't do something bad."

"Yeah, daddy's right ma."

After we had our breakfast, I told them everything. I thought papagalitan nila ako about me drinking alcohol in Trim's party but they just laughed.

"HAHAHAHAH. Buti nga sa Teemang na yun." Na carried away si Mommy ng sobra ha.

"Hon.. Naririnig ka ng bata. HAHAHAH pero you're right."

Hindi rin nila kasi gusto si Ms. Teemang. They find her very irritating and maarte. So... the meeting went well. Hindi naman nag attack mode si mommy because I already told her what happened but she kept on giggling which made Ms. Teemang both confused and uncomfortable. At dahil daw sa offensive act ko I have to be an assistant of the librarian for a month. See? O.A? My mom didn't say anything about it because I told her that it's okay. My task will start today so I have to prepare myself kasi yung librarian namin ay invisible madalas. What do I mean? I mean lagi syang wala, either absent or nasa office at nakikipag daldalan. Wala naman kasi masyadong pumupunta sa library maliban dun sa mga class geek, kagaya ko. Trimiiee won't even last a minute here kaya kapag pumupunta ako dito, madalas mag-isa lang ako. Speaking of the bruha... miss ko na yun. Di ko pa yun nakikita since kahapon. Ang aga umalis ng school eh.

---

Mabilis na natapos ang class hours. Nagkita naman kami ni Trim kasi nga magkaklase kami and I told him about the punishment. Ang bruha tawa ng tawa. Naaawa daw sya sakin pero wala namang ibang ginawa kundi tumawa. Di man lang ng nagoffer ng help. Napakagaling na bestfriend. Aside sa ayaw nya sa library, he won't be with me sa task ko ngayon kasi pinapauwi sya ng maaga ng dad nya.. ewan ko kung bakit. He doesn't really tell when it comes to his family.

The library looks like what I'm expecting it to be. Dadalawang estudyante lang ang nandito... di ko naman na kailangan pang bantayan yang mga yan because I know them and I know na they are one of those responsible students, so mas pinili ko nalang ayusin yung mga na misplace na mga libro and try to clean those dusty shelves sa dulong row. The library is huge. It's like six classrooms-wide. Pero kahit na ganito iyon kalaki, no one is attracted enough to come maliban nalang sa mga book lovers and...

FLIRTS.

In the far end corner of this huge library ay ang dalawang malalanding nilalang na siguro ay tambay na ng library tuwing ganitong oras... not to read books but to passionately kiss each other -- kung kiss nga lang ang balak nilang gawin.

No need to worry for my eyes  kiss lang ang nakita ko and before it becomes worse, I dropped the book to make a very loud sound-- loud enough para mapansin ng dalawang to and presensya ko. I don't know the girl but I definitely know the guy. Sa likod nya palang... height.. hair.. body structure.. aura.. I know na siya yun.

"Nice to meet you again, Ms. Evans."

"Well.. to be honest, I'm not pleased to see you, Mr. McCarthy"

"WTF?! What do you want? You know what? Istorbo ka!" Singit nung tipaklong na kasama nya

"I'm sorry to disturb you love birds but let me remind you that this is not a love nest. This is a library, for your information."

"I know and I don't care. Kung naiinggit ka. Find someone and take him here as well. Kiss... Hug... Whatever!"

"Hahaha. Joker huh? Hindi ako naiinggit... I'm not like you. I'm the one responsible for the library so I have the right to tell you to get the fuck out and do it in the hotel if hindi na talaga kayo makapagpigil. You can even do it in his car... wherever.. basta not in the school premises."

"Wha--"

"Thank you for reminding us. The car? It's a great suggestion, huh? Why don't you do it with me some time?"

"Sorry, Mason. But I'm not interested ...anymore."

I saw his jaw clenched. I knew it. Naapektuhan parin sya. Mason, huh? Ako lang ba talaga tumatawag sayo nyan?

"The name's Bryan. Hindi ko hinahayaang kung sino sino lang ang tumawag sakin ng pangalang yan."

Kung sino-sino lang? the hell?!

"Alright."

"We'll go. Thank you again"

Ang kapal. Bryan ba kamo? Bryan nya mukha nya! Hindi ko rin naman na gustong tawagin syang Mason. URGH!

"Ms. Evans, one more thing, please don't let me see you again. Naasiwa kasi ako."

And once again... my heart broke into pieces
