"HAH! She thought she's beautiful because I have a crush on her? Hah! She's ugly! She looks like the ugliest among the ugliest witch!"
The meanest words I can think of just suddenly started to blurt out into my mouth. I'm not hurt. I'm really not. Who cares if she threw the card that I gave? Hah! I didn't even exert much effort on it. I was just doing it to somehow ease my boredom. And it happens that I want to make use of my creativity.
"Hah! She's not pretty!" I shouted sounding so piss off.
I saw an empty can lying on the grass and because I am that furious, to the point that I want to punch someone but I cannot, I just kick the can instead.
"Nak ng baka!" someone sitting under the tree exclaimed.
Instead of being surprise my forehead knitted. What did she said?
I watch her got up from where she is. She roamed her eyes and landed to me. She looks so mad as she marched her way to me. When she's already in front of me I just stared at her.
She's wearing our school's uniform for senior high school. She got no make-up and her hair is just so messy.
"Pasalamat ka asul 'yang mata mo kung hindi kanina pa kita pinalo," she murmured as she stared on my eyes looking so amazed.
I can't understand her alien language!
"Move! You're blocking my way!" I yelled at her but she just laugh.
Hah! She got the guts to laugh at me! I will surely call my mom and asked her to kick this girl out of this school!
"This field is so huge. You can walk anywhere."
Hah! She finally spoke English!
"I want here so get out."
"Wow! You're the one who's mad here even though you're the one who hurt me with the can."
"It's your fault for sitting where the can will land!" I insisted.
"Wow! Mayayaman talaga. Kung anong pinaniniwalaan 'yun na agad ang tama," she uttered something as she shook her head.
Here she goes again.
"Can you speak in English? I can't understand you," I requested and again she just laughed.
"You were rejected by the girl you like, right?"
My jaw stiffen by what she said. How did she know?
I averted my gaze at her because I know right now my cheeks are turning red because I am angry. Hah! She just made me remember the letter I am holding.
"Tsk, tsk, you're just an elementary student. Don't take it so much. She's not the girl for you," she said as she tapped my shoulder but I shoved her hands away.
"I didn't get rejected. I was the one who rejected her!"
"Ohh! Really? The card didn't say so," she replied with a devilish smirk.
I hate her!
"She was the one who gave this to me and because I rejected her I crumpled it."
"Why didn't you just throw it?"
Silence enveloped us. I didn't got the chance to answer her. I was mesmerized by her smile. She looks like she's glowing to me when that lips of hers curved.
Damn! Why did she have to smile?
"You cut your classes? That's bad."
"My teacher won't mind. I can ace my exam even without attenting my class."
"Lakas ng apog mo!"
"Stop your using that language!" I demanded.
"Wow! Am I not allowed?" she sarcastically asked.
"I can't understand what you're saying," I answered without looking at her.
Damn! I'm blushing!
"Then learn my language before you talk to me," she said as she left me.
Hah!

"KUYA!" I called my brother once I arrived from school.
I saw how his irritated expression which made me gulped. I forgot I made him angry earlier.
"What do you want?"
"What language uses the word mayayaman?"
I saw how he raised his eyebrow by my question. That's the only word that I remembered from her.
"Filipino. Why?" he asked looking so curious.
"Hah! You have a Filipino tutor, right?" I asked and he just nodded.
"Ask him to teach me how to speak their language!"
Hah! I will going to learn their language just for week. And after that, I will surely go and see her again.

"Hindi mo ba alam ang three month rule Doc Nigel?" natatawang tanong niya habang nagpipigil sa pagtawa.
"We were not in a relationship," pagpapa-alala ko.
"Kahit na! Masiyado kang marupok Doc. Hahahahaha."
Marupok.
Kung iyan ang tawag sa taong sa simpleng ngiti lang ay nagkukumawala na ang puso, ako nga ata iyan.
