She's my Tough Girl

Twenty Eight - Margaret

Gabby's POV

I keep on blaming my self

I should have eaten my pride

How can I convince you

Its just a matter of time

Many times I've hurt you

With my foolish ways oh girl

Now i know I have to pay the price

Is there a way for you to turn around,

Turn around and come back baby

Ohh baby can't you see ~

One week.

I didn't hear anything from him for a week already. Nasa iisang klase kami pero hindi ko pa ulit siya nakakausap ng tungkol samin. He seldom look me in the eye, minsan ay hindi pa nga.
Katabi ko siya sa room pero parang wala rin siya. Hindi ko maramdaman yung presensya niya.

Ang sakit na.

Inasahan ko na yung magiging reaksyon niya pagtapos kong sabihin sa kanya yung totoo at gaya nga ng inaasahan ko, he demands time. I understand and now I am giving it to him. Kagaya ko ay mahirap ito para sa kanya.

And it's getting heavier and heavier for me too .. Babalik pa kaya siya sakin?

"Okay class you should study this chapters for we will have our recitation next meeting. Walang aabsent! Maawa naman kayo sa grades niyo sa subject na ito."

That was the last words our professor said bago kami i-dismiss. Agad kong isinilid ang gamit ko para maabutan siya dahil alam kong ready na siyang umalis pagkalabas na pagkalabas ng professor namin.

"Teka."

He stopped bago ako tuluyang lingunin.
Some of our classmates are now looking marahil nararamdaman nila na may mali samin ni Jed.

I look at them at mukhang nakuha naman nila ang gusto kong ipahiwatig kaya hindi na nila kami pinansin at lumabas na.

He is now looking at me but I see unfamiliarity in his eyes. Hindi siya ganito tumingin sakin dati.

"Can we talk?"

Bubuka na sana ang bibig niya pero may asungot na dumating. Anong kailangan netong babaeng to?

"Hi Jed! Hi Gabby! Sorry to interrupt you noh, the faculty and the editor is waiting na kasi."

Nangunot ang noo ko.

"Bakit?"

Ngumiti siya. "Well, Jed is having a meeting with the faculty kasi and iinterviewhin din siya ng chief editor ng school newspaper regarding sa pagiging rank 1 niya noong foundation week sa auction." Wika ni Jienna.

Marahan niya pang tinapik sa balikat si Jed na nakapagpataas ng kilay ko.

"And that's not it! Isa siya sa ipanglalaban sa art contest with other school kaya kailangan na siya sa faculty."

"Saka nalang tayo mag-usap."

Dahan-dahan akong tumango at humakbang paatras ng isang beses.

"Hihiramin ko muna ang boyfriend mo ah?"
