The Only Exception

CHAPTER 2

Lisa's POV

Until now natatawa parin ako everytime naaalala ko yung first encounter natin together. Imagine parang tanga lang? Who would have thought na the Lalisa Manoban would end up falling for Roseanne Park, the girl she despise the most back then? Speaking of which, bakit nga ba ayaw na ayaw ko sayo non?

(Flashback)

It's been a week after the girl named Roseanne Park enrolled in our university. It's also been only a week but your name blew up in the whole campus already, and why is that? Well isa ka lang namang dakilang pabibo. Bakit kita tinawag na pabibo? Wala lang trip ko lang bakit ba?

I heard that you got in the cheerdance team immediately just after your first tryout which is kinda confusing to me kasi alam ko pahirapan ang makapasok sa cheerdance lalo na pag newbie ka lang kasi mapili at maarte talaga yung captain nilang si Chungha. Not only that, kakapasok mo palang sa team pero na promote ka na agad as co-captain.

And oh, I also heard na you got in Musika, yung sikat na glee club na hinahawakan ni Shon Wendy. That club is actually the pride of the school since every year nire-represent nila yung school in any singing contest mapa local man or international. Nagustuhan ka daw agad ng members dun lalo na yung leaders kasi aside from your singing, you're really good in playing instruments "daw". Nakapost pa nga sa official page yung audition mo where you played piano while singing to Adele's "We Were Young."

Wait, why am I even talking about you? Psh. I shook my head and immediately fixed my things after the buzzer rang then suddenly, I heard someone mentioned my name.

"Hey, can I ask you a question? " I heard the girl said. I didn't even need to turn around to see who that was, since the voice is very much familiar to me and thus, isa lang ang may aussie accent na kaklase ko.

"Uy sure ano yun? " sabi naman ng katabi mo.

Oh yeah, hindi ka na nga pala tumatabi sakin since I told you to stop sitting beside me since nakikita palang kita naa-annoy na ako sayo. Hindi ko naman na sana kayo papansinin but when I heard you say my name pasimple akong umayos ng inuupuan at nagkunwaring ina-ayos ang mga gamit ko even though it's already fixed.

"Uhh can I ask about Lisa? "

Akala niyo siguro hindi ko kayo naririnig since lagi lang nakasalpak yung airpods ko.

'Ano namang trip nito? What are you curious about. ' tanong ko sarili ko at hinintay yung tanong mo.

Bahagya ka pang napatingin sakin, I saw it on my peripheral vision.

"May I ask if bakit lagi siyang mag-isa? Don't she have any friends? And bakit parang lagi siyang pinagsuklaban ng langit at lupa? "

I almost snapped at you kasi pinaka ayaw ko sa lahat yung pinag-uusapan ako behind my back and I really hate nosy people who doesn't know how to mind their own business, but as much as I want to, I tried my best not to since I wanna know what you are up to.

"Uhh short-tempered kasi yan tsaka talagang mailap sa mga tao ewan ko kung bakit pero based from what I heard spoiled brat daw." nag-aalangan pang sagot nung katabi mo at napatingin ulit kayo sakin.

"She only have 2 friends here in the university, si Seulgi tapos si Jisoo. Kaso nasa section A sila. Balita ko childhood friends niya yung mga yun tsaka sila lang talaga nakakatiis sa ugali niya. Marami naman actually ang sumubok makipag-kaibigan sakanya pero she would only snap at them, telling them to leave her alone. Marami na rin siyang pinahiya mapababae man or lalaki kaya maraming takot sakanya." pagpapatuloy pa nito.

I can already feel my blood boiling upon hearing the girl's description to my personality. Who does she think she is para husgahan ang pagkatao ko? She doesn't know anything about me, yet kung idescribe niya ako parang siya pa yung bumubuhay sakin. I clenched my jaw and gritted my teeth because of annoyance.
