"$450 a month, hindi pa kasama don ang kuryente at tubig. Ano? Kukunin mo ba?" The landlord said habang ngumunguya pa ito ng chewing gum
Tumango ako at inabot ang bayad sa kanya
"Oh siya. Ikaw na bahala diyan.. Magbayad ka lang ng tama sa oras, Ok lang magdala ng boyfriend wag lang masyado maingay sa gabi. Alam mo naman dikit dikit dito, ayaw na namin marinig
kung ano man ang ginagawa niyo sa gabi."
Aniya niya ng iniluwa niya ang kanyang chewing gum at iniligay ito sa isang papel
"Pwede ko pa ito nguyain mamaya." Aniya niya habang inilalagay niya sa kanyang bulsa ang papel na may nakadikit na gum
I don't know how to react so I just smiled at her, habang sinusubukan kong itago ang aking pandidiri
"Ah--wala po akong boyfriend. Ako lang po mag isa" Aniya ko habang ako ay umiiwas ng tingin
"Mabuti naman. Sige na iha.. aalis na ko ha. Ikaw na bahala diyan." Tumingin muna siya sa salamin at naglagay ng lipstick bago umalis
Tumingin ako sa paligid at napansin kong sobrang liit ng espasyo, hindi rin kaaya aya ang paligid, it even has dirty marks on the wall, It wasn't much, but this is all I can afford..
"Mabuti na lang may naitabi ako sa pagpapart time job ko. Kundi sa lansangan ako matutulog..hayss, Bat kaya ganun na lang kalaki ang galit sakin ni mama? Mas pinapaboran niya si angela. Pareho naman niya kaming anak." Aniya habang ako ay nagbubuntong hininga
It's almost the end of summer now, but I'm still working. I'm currently in senior high.. Luckily, I manage to transfer this summer as a scholar on a prestigious school, Dun din nag aaral si angela. My mom sold the gym for her education. I'll try to avoid her as much as possible. Ayoko ng conflict, but I really need to be in this school. It's everything I've ever wanted.
It's so late now so I just cried myself to sleep...
Many days has passed until it's time for my first day at ravenwood high
Are you ready to play with fire?
The blaring of the small alarm clock jarred me out of my peaceful sleep and I jolted up
"Ugh.. I'm still sleepy.."Pinatay ko ang alarm, at bumangon na ko para sa unang araw ng pasukan
After showering..
"Good thing we have uniforms, kundi wala kong susuotin, wala naman kasi ako gaanong damit. now where's my bag?" Aniya ko habang inaayos ko na ang mga dadalhin ko for today
"Whaaat? I only have canned sardines?
Oh well, good thing I still have left over rice last night." Aniya habang chinecheck ko ang kanin kung pwede pa
"Still good for today I guess.." Sabi ko sa aking sarili habang naghahanda na ko para umalis
Buti na lang may bisikleta ako, kundi maglalakad ako.. hayss. Mas better kung iiwan ko na lang ung necklace ko to somewhere secure. With this kind of neighbourhood, I don't wanna risk losing it.
After 1 hour..
"Buti na lang andito na ko now, where can I put my bicycle?" Napahinto ako sa pagbibisikleta ng makita ko ang eskwelahan na papasukan ko
"Is this the ravenwood high? It looks so much better in person.."I was standing in front of the entrance, It was a castle like school, Like it was fit for a royal. It has everything you could think of, As I look around, I saw all of the students with their own fancy cars, some has their own driver. All of them look fabulously wealthy
"Now I felt so out of place,anyway I'm here to learn,not to brag."I said as I park my bicycle on a bike rack, someone taps me on the shoulder. I turn around, and I saw a girl at my age with long curly brown hair and dark brown eyes
"Mukhang tayo lang dalawa ang may bisikleta ha.. Ako nga pala si samantha, Scholar? Transferee ka noh?" Aniya niya as I nod at her
"Pareho tayo scholar. Pero since freshman pa ko dito. Well, nice to meet you. Hmm.. senior ka din, tama ba?" Ika ni samantha
"Yes, I am. I'm blair by the way." Nakangiti kong sambit sa kanya
"Ok Blair, let's explore around the campus first, what do you think? Since 30 mins pa naman bago magsimula ang klase." Aniya niya
"Yeah. Sure."I said as she claps her hands excitedly
Habang nageexplore kami sa campus, We saw some students making out.
"What? Are they kissing? Is it allowed in here?"Tanong ko kay samantha
"Girl don't make it sound like it's your first time seeing that kind of stuff. Look at your left, that's kian." Aniya niya
Tumingin ako sa kaliwa, nang makita ko ang isang lalake na may kahalikan,, his hair is black jet and he has a dark blue eyes, he also has a sharp jawline and a thick eyebrows, He's wearing a black hoodie above his uniform, I also notice his piercings
nakasandal naman sa pader ang babae niyang kahalikan. Habang siya ay nasa harap nito, he started touching the girl's breast as his hands going down to her skirt, Huminto siya at lumingon sa amin, ng marealize niya na may nakatingin sa kanila, he look at me up and down, ngumiti siya ng nakakaloko, I blushed in embarrassment as I looked away.. Samantha just laughed at me.
"Oh my god blair, you're so red"Pang asar sakin ni samantha
"Who is that and why is he looking at me like that?" I asked as I try to look away
He continued kissing the girl anyway, sinimulan niyang angatin ang binti nung babae gamit ang isa niyang kamay habang ang isa naman ay lumalakbay sa katawan ng babae na para bang wala siyang pakielam sa mundo.
"That's kian for you.."Aniya niya
"Well if you think he's something else.. wait til you meet jaxon ashford.. They're best friends." Nakangiti niyang sambit sa akin
His name sounds familiar but I just shrug it off
"Their squad basically rule this school, especially jax. Tinginan niya palang, nakakapanghina. Grabe.." Samantha said as she rolled her eyes
"Well, samantha.. Gusto ko man makinig sayo, I think it's time for class." I said as I look the other way
"Anong first subject mo?"Tanong ni Sam
"Chemistry." I said as I smiled at her
"Calculus ako ngayon eh. Pero magkatabi lang naman yun eh so let's go"Samantha said as she grabs my arm
Meanwhile at chemistry class..
Lahat ay nakatingin sakin nang pumasok ako sa classroom, like I have some kind of a virus that no one wants to be near. I'm just standing there awkwardly, finding a place to sit...
Finally, may nakita ako sa likod. So dumiretso na ko dun para umupo. Sakto naman andiyan na ang chemistry teacher namin ng makaupo ako.
"Good morning class. I'm mr. Sanchez, as you all know. Before we start, I'm gonna ask a few questions and then a short quiz after. Let's see kung may nakakaalala pa nito." Sabi niya as he grab his marker
"Short quiz for the first day of school? Oh come on now, you better be joking." A random guy said, he looks like a jock and someone who loves working out, he has a dark brown hair with a streak of fawn hair and a blue eyes
"We gonna continue anyway whether you like it or not mr. blake johnson. Just because you're part of jaxon's squad doesn't mean you're exempted. "The teacher said as he glared at him
"Try me."He said with a smirk as he stands up and grab the girl next to him.
"Whaa--"The girl said, clearly startled but before she can finish.. hinila ni blake ang babae at hinawakan ang bewang nito and started kissing her hungrily
Everyone started shouting and cheering him on, as I roll my eyes at him.. ung iba naman tumayo na sa desk, everything is a disaster.
Mr. Sanchez tried to stop them, pero kahit ano sabihin niya ay di nila ito pinapansin
I can't take it anymore..
"EVERYONE!STOOOP!!!
This is a school! Not a club!!"I said annoyingly
Everybody had stop and glared at me, clearly unimpressed of my sudden outburst but, blake is still smiling.. wonder why
Teka kinindatan niya ba ako? Or I'm just imagining things?
There's silence for a moment..
But they continued anyway..
I got tired of them kaya umupo na lang ako at yumuko sa desk ko with my hands on my ear, they're so loud.
Mr. Sanchez got tired as well
"Blake Johnson! Detention after school!!" Iritadong sabi ni Mr. Sanchez
Blake just shrug it off, Tinuloy niya pa rin ginagawa niya like mr. Sanchez wasn't there at all
