Lost Girl From Neverland

Chapter III: Catching Fire

**************************

Wynter Jesslyn Lim

Our friendship has it's own normal routine every single morning tuwing mag kikita kita kami, meron silang nickname sa grupo namin though it's actually fine dahil hindi naman insulting unlike sa pangalan ng grupo nila Hannah at ng mga palaka niyang kaibigan. We're known as 'De Maartes' and yes seryoso sila diyan, noong bago palang yan palagi kaming nag tatanong kung anong ibig sabihin then fortunately nalaman ni Ember kung what is the real meaning of it.

Silang tatlo medyo nainis but me? I never got offended by that cause it's actually a fact, sometimes sinasabi lang naman nila yan to get your attention and if you gave in? Mag mumukha kang clown so hindi ko sila pinapansin no matter how hard they try to make papansin and do dumb stuffs to make me noticed their ugly faces. Hannah and her girls are out of this world dahil unti mong low lives? Ginagamit niya, just to ruin us but she never succeeded. She's like Plankton from SpongeBob but she's the female version.

I'm not Mr. Krabs though, hindi ako jejemon na naka lagay sa fabecook na nag tatrabaho daw sa Krusty Krab. Her plan would always fail, just like her grades. Nag sasayang siya ng tuition fee, time and effort. Chemistry field is not for her and I don't get why she's still insisting to be one, if it's not meant for you then try another one. The solution is just as simple as that and yet? She's really dumb, I pity her but then again she doesn't deserve my sympathy.

It's Wednesday morning, kakatapos lang naming kumain sa Starbucks at nandito na kami ni Jianna sa classroom namin. Nasanay na kaming dalawa na kami ang nauunang pumasok dito but we're really flabbergasted when we saw Bryson, sitting near the open window and sleeping peacefully. Naka upo kami ni Jianna sa harapan niya, gusto ko rin kaseng malapit sa bintana dahil madalas akong tulala sa kawalan at dahil na rin mahangin lalo na kapag hapon.

Jianna, this little bitch has the guts to take stolen pictures of Bryson without his permission. I'm trying to stop her dahil kapag nahuli siya, damay nanaman ang pag mumukha ko. She's my best friend and I'm stopping myself from doing something that might knock not just her senses, I mean it's fine taking somebody else's photo but without his or her permission is not and will never be fine.

"C'mon Wynter! Pang wallpaper to! Diyan ka lang! Shh!!". Masayang bulong ni Jianna. Hindi ako masyadong maka galaw dahil baka magising si Bryson, mas malala yon kung makikita niya kaming naka ganito. Mas mag mumukha akong guilty tungkol sa pag kuha ng litrato niya, hindi naman ata siya assumero pero kahit na!

"I'll disown you as my best friend if we got caught, nakaka hiya tong ginagawa mo!". Reklamo kong bulong sa kaniya. She laughed silently, tuwang tuwa pa siya habang nagpo photo shoot sa walang kamalay-malay na si Bryson. Bahagyang gumalaw si Bryson kaya nataranta din siya, I can't take this anymore! Jianna! You whore!!

"Okay na ako, I've taken enough. Pwede ka nang kumalma". Natutuwa niyang aniya. Nag bubulungan lang kami dahil kapwa kami natatakot na baka magising tong isa, mas delekado yon at nakaka hiya. Baka hindi na ako pumasok dito sa Ateneo kapag nakita niya ang kalokohan ni Jianna kanina, that photo can't be seen by anyone maliban saamin.

"How can I seriously calm down? We just drank coffee at naka dalawang baso pa ako, are you nuts?". Tanong ko sa kaniya. She's telling me to calm my ass down and yet she's the one who turned me into a palpitating stresses out bitch, seriously? Mabuti nalang talaga mag kaibigan kaming dalawa. If not? She's dead before she even got a chance to take a single picture.
