CYPRIELLE
I got waken up by someone poking my cheeks again. By slowly opening my eyes a familiar face of a person is the first thing that I ever saw. Unlike in my dream her hair color there was bright blue but now its back to her normal brown straight hair.
"Yem" I uttered her name and she smiled at me.
"Bangon na diyan may klase pa tayo" Yem said then went out of my room.
I roamed my eyes around and I sighed in relief.
Akala ko nandun parin ako. Was it a dream? Panaginip ba yun? Panaginip ngaba?
I slowly got up from bed and damn ang sakit ng buo kong katawan. My mood suddenly shifted after seeing my legs.
Ang dami kong pasa pati narin sugat. Even at my hands and my belly there are still bruises.
"What the hell!" I yelled after seeing my face in the mirror.
"What happened?" Rin asked as she entered my room.
Silence filled the whole room while Im still looking at myself from the mirror.
"Nakita ka naming maraming galos" Rin said then caressed my back.
"What happened?" she asked me.
I faced her but I didn't bother answering her question.
Whatever happened that time ay hindi ko alam. Rin said they saw me like this when they both got here.
Kung sino man may gawa sa akin nito. I'll make sure they'll pay for this.
"Tara na sa kusina. Nagluto ako kaninang tulog kapa" basag ni Rin sa katahimikan.
I just nodded then she left me. I once again looked at my face at the mirror then sighed.
Mabilis kong tinapos ang pagligo at ang pagbibihis dahil naghihintay na sina Rin at Yem sa akin plus the fact that may pasok pa kami and we're running late.
Before going out I looked at myself from the mirror. The bruises and wound is still visible at wala akong magagawa kundi ang hayaan nalang iyon.
Wednesday pa naman ngayon so I had to wear our uniform meaning yung mga pasa at sugat ko sa legs ay kitang kita.
Hindi na ako magtataka kung maging center of attraction ako mamaya sa school.
I locked my room and nagtungo sa kusina kung nasaan sina Rin at Yem. They are talking about something serious kasi seryosong seryoso yung mukha nila. I sat beside Yem that made them look at me.
"What?" tanong ko sa kanila.
Kumuha ako ng itlog at fried rice and started eating it. I'm hungry that's for sure.
Hindi ako makakain ng maayos.
"Bakit ba?" tanong ko ulit sa kanila.
"Wala"
"Nothing"
Sabay nilang sagot.
"Kung wala naman pala. Please stop looking at me while I'm eating" I said then continued eating.
Minutes had passed after I finished eating. Tapos narin kumain sina Yem at Rin.
"Tara na?" Yem said.
We didn't bother to answer her. Kinuha ko yung gamit ko na nakapatong sa couch sa may sala. They also took they stuff at sabay kaming nagtungo sa pinto.
"Lets go!" Rin said then locked the door.
"Lakad or commute?" tanong ni Yem.
"Lakad nalang tayo. We still have to talk about something" Rin said in her serious tone that made Yem and I look at her.
No one dared to talk when we started walking. Obviously papunta kami ngayon sa school at hindi ako sanay dahil hindi man lang nagsalita sina Rin at Yem.
Ano ba kasing paguusapan namin? Rin sounded so serious kanina at nababahala talaga ako.
"Mamaya nalang natin pagusapan" malamig na saad ni Rin when we reached the entrance.
"Nadapa ako pababa ng hagdan"
Yem and I looked at Rin when she said that.
"Yun ang isasagot mo sa magtatanong" she said then looked at me.
"Let's talk about that damn dream later" Rin once said then entered the gate.
Shit! Yung panaginip! I thought that was my dream but I'm so wrong. I think we had the same dream and the three of us are still confused about that.
Sumunod naman kami ni Yem sa kanya. Kumapit si Yem sa braso ko so I looked at her.
"She's scary" she said pertaining to Rin.
We both laughed at that thought. Rin looked at us and then glared which caused Yem to flinch.
Indeed she's scary!
***
Ever thought na sana nilamon ka nalang ng lupa? Well I'm thinking of that right now. Yung mga tingin nila para nila akong pinapatay.
Dzuhh! Did anyone ever tell you that staring is rude?
Mula nang papunta kami dito sa room hanggang dito mismo sa room ay nakatingin parin ang mga tao sa akin. Sabi ko kasi magiging center of attraction ako dito.
Gosh! Puno ng pasa at sugat ang buo kong katawan. Sana talaga lamunin nalang ako ng lupa.
"Ever heard of the phrase staring is rude?" Rin asked those who keep on staring at me.
The tone she used scared them thats why they ended up diverting their gaze.
Thank God!
"Stare once again then you'll regret it" banta muli ni Rin.
Yem and I looked at her but she just glared at us.
Magkakaroon siguro itong babaeng ito.
Yem looked at me with her worried look. I held her hand saying she's fine then she just sighed.
It took about 5 minutes when the school bell rang telling us that classes is about to start.
Hindi nagtagal ay dumating narin ang adviser namin.
We greeted her good morning then she did the same.
"Cyprielle Morgan" that's me.
I stood up when I heard my name.
"Lyrinthia Perez" Rin also stood up when she got called.
"And Yemoja Alarcon, the three of you proceed to the principals office now. No questions asked" our adviser Miss Selen said.
Kahit hindi namin alam kung bakit kami pinapatawag ay ginawa naman namin ang sinabi ni Maam Selen.
Kinuha namin ang gamit namin then went out of the room para pumunta sa principals office.
Shit! Sana naman hindi ito about sa pasa at sugat ko sa buong katawan.
