THE LOVER : Lucius Marco

[Cuatro] NOT A STRANGER

EMMANUELA'S POV

"WHAT?!" Kyline exclaimed. Agad ko namang sinapak ang balikat niya kasi tinitingnan na kami ng mga estyudante dito sa hallway.

We're on our way to the canteen para kumain ng lunch. I told her about what happened last night, and she freaked out.

"Oh my fucking god, Emmanuela Besar." She said and sighed. Napayuko naman ako. I know I messed up. I messed up so bad!

"First time mo pa lang pumunta sa bar tapos ganyan na agad ang nangyari sayo?" she quietly exclaimed.

"I know, Kyline." I pouted at the end of my sentence.

"I'm pretty sure fingers can't break your hymen easily. " Kyline stated then does a firm nod. "But who knows, maybe his fingers were long and it actually broke your hymen and it became possible for fingering to lose virginity—"

"Kyline.." I whined a bit then she looked at me chuckling.

"Fingering is a form of masturbation for girls so just imagine that you were just masturbating, except," she stopped and looked at me with a playful grin. "It was another person's finger." Kyline whispered as she pats my shoulder and chuckled again.

"Don't worry, sis. You're still a virgin." She reassuringly said.

"Sinong virgin?"

"Pot— ANO BA?!" Kyline shouted nang biglang sumulpot si Frudo sa usapan. Frudo is one of our friend since highschool. He completes our day with his clumsy and stupid actions. Pero takte, ang talino ng kupal na'to.

"Malamang kami, Frudo. Kung makagulat ka naman eh." Kyline whined as she took a deep breath.

"Eh bakit ba kasi ganyan kayo kung makakwentuhan. Daig nyo pa ang mga mean girls dito sa university kung makabulong sa isa't isa eh." Ani Frudo. Kyline rolled her eyes at him.

"Frudo, girls' talk kasi toh kaya auto-echupwera kayong mga boys sa usapan na 'to!" Giit ni Kyline sabay irap.

"Nag-aaway na naman kayo eh." Sabi ko sa kanilang dalawa.

I was busy scolding the two about fighting like cat and dog but a small whisper caught my attention.

"There she goes.."

"Siya ba yun?"

"Well.. the quiet bitch is here."

"The quiet bitch, patahimik tahimik lang yan pero ang dami nang nagawa n'yan."

"Siya ba yung ano.. yung Valedictorian?"

"Ahh, oo. Besar, Emmanuela. Valedictorian 'yan noon eh, ewan kung anong pumasok sa utak n'yan at nagloko."

I stopped. I listened for a bit.

"Luh? Ampota, sayang ganda pa naman. Ano yan? Beauty lang tapos brain nawala?"

"Siya yun, diba? Pfft."

"Di natin alam, baka 'di na virgin yan."

Their soft laughs invade my ears into my brain.

"Hoy, ano 'yan ha? Ang alam ko eskwelahan 'to eh, hindi Kanto Tiño kung saan pwede magchika galore ang mga inggeterang mga pakshit sa kanto,"

Napatingin ako kay Kyline nang bigla niyang linapitan ang dalawang babaeng nag-uusap tungkol sa'kin.

"Oy tama na yan.." Suway ni Frudo.

"Teka, puta ka hindi pa ako tapos!" Saad nito. Hindi ko naman siya mapigilan. Mumurahin niya lang ako 'pag pinigilan ko pa and plus, I'm tired. I chuckled mentally while watching Kyline, mentally hoping that she won't do anything stupid.
