"Your crush?"
I put down my cell phone because of what my friend said. I didn't think she was here for a while because she wasn't talking. I was caught!
"N-no!" I refused. She laughed so loudly that our gossiping classmates looked at her.
"Gosh," I glared at Lia. "Hey, it's obvious that you have a crush on that Steveson." I'm outnumbered, she likes to tease me.
"Good morning class, we don't have class today. Let's all go to the amphitheater, no cu-cutting classes. Boys, ha!" my classmate boys acted hurt by what Ma'am said.
"Faye," ma'am called me. "Look at them, call me at the principal's office if one of your classmates missing, I'll drop the ones that won't cooperate this sem. Is that clear?"
A male classmate of mine, Xy, stood up." Faye's forehead is brighter, ma'am!"
Lia threw a notebook at Xy, hitting him in the nose. Our classmates laughed because of the scene between the two. They were always fighting.
HUMMS 1 and I went to the amphitheater, we met STEM 1. I saw him again, with his girlfriend.
I swallowed when our eyes met, I looked away and held on to Lia, and walked quickly. I didn't want to see him. A male classmate of mine, Xy, stood up." Faye's forehead is brighter, ma'am!"
Lia threw a notebook at Xy, hitting her in the nose. Our classmates laughed because of the scene between the two. They were always fighting.
HUMMS 1 and I went to the amphitheater, we met STEM 1. I saw him again, with his girlfriend.
I swallowed when our eyes met, I looked away and held on to Lia, and walked quickly. I didn't want to see her.
"Bitch, those STEM students are arrogant." said a male classmate of mine.
"Stupid, that's just how they look." Xy.
"Don't let them look at us, it's like they're always provoking a fight, especially that Stevenson," Russel exclaimed.
"You're stupid, aren't you used to it? No matter what you do, that's how he looks at people, stupid." Russel tormented Lia, that girl.
It's a big amphitheater, but I'm unlucky today because STEM 1 is next to us. My male classmates were even more irritated because of that, I don't know why they were irritated.
"It's so hot, what are we doing here?" Lenard said annoyed as he fanned himself with the notebook.
"It's trams!" Lia snapped again. Maybe later they will run into Tangek, trams!" Lia snapped again. Maybe later they will run into her.
"You're quiet, Faye. Are you okay?" Xy suddenly asked next to me.
"Yup," I smiled and nodded.
After a while, Stevenson came up on the stage, because he is the SSG president of the senior high. He always seems to be angry with people, even with the principal, he doesn't smile.
"He's handsome, smart, and rich. The girlfriend must be lucky!" Lia laughed and hit my arm, I glared at her.
"Good morning everyone." he began. "It's October now, our intramural should be started on Monday to Friday. All of the class president please proceed to the stage." I almost fell from my seat because Lia pushed me.
"Hey, go." she laughs, it's annoying I want to hug her neck.
"Do you want to go? I can do it," said Xy, I shook my head and smiled.
"It's okay, thanks." I went up to the stage, I knew we would be drawn for what team color we were.
As always.
"ABM 1, you will be drawn first." said the principal, she approached the box and pulled out a paper.
"Don't show it first," the man nodded. The class president of the other strand is all male, I'm the only female!
"Whoa! The only girl," I shyly smiled at the principal. "What's your section?"
"Ahm . . . HUMMS 1 po," the principal smiled at me and handed me the box, I pulled out a piece of paper.
"Okay students, you can open the paper now." I opened the paper and it says Red, are we team Red again?
"Who got the Green?" ABM 1 and STEM 2 raised their hands together. GAS 1 and ABM 2. HUMMS 2 and GAS 2.
"And the last, STEM 1 and HUMMS 1." I see how the girls are struggling in STEM 1, if they don't want us, we don't want them either.
The afternoon came and I went home. I was carrying my book in my right hand, and an umbrella in my left. Lia went home first, we are not neighbors.
"Isn't he the president of HUMMS 1?" I heard a student whisper.
"Yup, ugly." I stopped walking because of what I heard, I was stunned for a while and then started walking again.
I shook my head until I got out of school. I shouldn't have been affected, it's always like that. I was crying while walking, my vision was blue-blurred.
I laughed weakly. Why am I ugly? Why am I not white? Why is my face like this? I'm ugly.
I hope I can be her.
I arrived at the house at five thirty in the afternoon. The guards made me open our gate, I quietly entered the house.
"Baby, why did you walk? Why didn't you go pick it up?" said Mom angrily.
"Mom, I can do it," I said calmly. She touched my face, she saw the tears forming in the corner of my eyes.
"Baby," she sighed. "You're beautiful, please don't mind them." I cried even more.
My mother is white, and so is my father. Then my three brothers are handsome and also white. Some people say that I should be adopted because I don't look like them.
It hurts.
I fell asleep because of the intensity of my crying, I just woke up when someone knocked on my room. I rubbed my eyes and opened the door.
"Ma'am, you are supposed to have dinner." Manang smiled.
"Okay, thank you." I looked in the mirror while combing my hair. I couldn't help but look at my face.
My hair is black in a layered cut. My skin color is brunette, my eyelashes are also long, and my nose is also pointed.
I'm still ugly.
I sighed and went out, I found them eating. I sat next to my brother Lenard, he is my brother, also my classmate.
They don't know that we are brothers, he wants to say that we are brothers, but I don't want to let them know. We use different last names, Dad's last name, he uses my mom's.
Brother Lenard and I are not the same age, he is two years older. He stopped when he went to France.
I am the youngest of four.
"Mommy, do you know that Faye doesn't approach me at school." Brother Lenard reported Dad looked at me.
"Why?" Dad asked.
"I don't know about her, daddy! It's me, oh!" one of my brothers shook his head.
"Your face is so thick!" older brother Lexus, is already in college.
"Stop it, where are Ford and Leon?" Mom asked.
"They say they'll be home later, Mommy." Mom just nodded at what my brother said.
I hope it's always like this.
