SKY'S POV

"YUKI!" sigaw ko! Ano ba'ng problema nya!?

Tumakbo ako kay Jarred ng susuntukin uli sya ni Yuki. Halos manlamig yung kamay ko sa nakita ko. Tinitigan ko ng masama si Yuki na pigil-pigil ng kambal. Mabuti't kami lang ang narito at wala nang iba'ng tao. Binalikan ko ng tingin si Jarred. Pumutok yung labi nya. May inabot si Lele na tissue kaya kinuha ko iyon at pinunasan yung labi nya.

"I'll go get something to put in your lips--" tumayo ako pero natigil ng tumili sila Lele. S-Si Yuki, pilit kumakawala!

"Damnit, Yahiko! Don't touch me!" sigaw nya na nag e-echo sa buong lugar!

Ngayun ko lang sya nakita'ng ganyan. Visible ang galit sa mukha nya. Nakatayo lang yung mga kaibigan ko at tinitigann si Yuki na sumabog na sa galit! Kampante ako'ng hindi nya malalapitan si Jarred dahil mas malaki ang kambal. Ang totoo, natatakot ako kay Yuki ngayon! Hindi ko gusto ang tingin nya sakin.

"Prof, ano ba'ng problema?!" hindi ko naiwasa'ng itanong. Tinitigan nya ako ng masama, sumunod kila Gio at kay Jarred.

"You!" mariing sagot nya. Binitawan na sya ng kambal dahil tumigil na sya sa pag pasag.

Naramdaman ko'ng hinawakan ako ng mahigpit ni Jarred. Lumapit agad sakin si Gio at hinatak mula kay Jarred. Mas lalo'ng sumama ang tingin ni Yuki dahil dalawa na'ng naka hawak sakin. Tinignan ko sya na nag sasabi'ng 'ako'  pero nginiwian nya ako ng nakakaloko.

"Seriously, Sky! Kahit ba sya, nakuha mo? Alam mo ba'ng naloloko ako sa painosente mo'ng tingin!?" galit na sigaw nya.

"Akiko-chan~ Don't shout~ >_<" Yahiko. Hindi nya pinansin 'yon saka lumapit sakin.

Nag sukatan kami ng tingin. Para'ng bata na pinunasan ko yung mata ko, gamit ang braso ko saka sya tinignan din. Bahagya pa ako'ng tumungkod para lang mapantayan ang mukha nya, pero di kaya =_=. Hinawakan ako ni Gio ng mahigpit at duon napunta ang atensyon nya. Mas lalo'ng dumilim yung tingin nya at mas tumaas ang boses nya.

"I don't get you!" sigaw nya.

"Ano ba'ng problema nyo sakin Prof!? Simula ng first day na dumating ka dito, lagi'ng masama ang tingin mo! Sabihin nyo nga ho kung may kasalanan ako!? Hindi ko kasi maintindihan yung kilos nyo!" sigaw ko. Nauubusan ako ng pasensya! Ngayon pa'ng halata na napurnada yung date ko!

"Ikaw. Ya'ng sarili mo! Yun ang problema ko!" kumunot yung noo ko at tinitigan sya. Putek, nangangalay na'ko!

"Ano'ng meron sakin!? Kanina lang ang bait-bait mo sakin! Tapos bigla kang darating para lang manuntok ng kasama ko!" sumenyas si Anna ng 'calm down'  pero di'ko pinansin. Namumuro na'to!

"Boss.. tara, umuwi nalang tayo." pag aawat ni Kiko.

"She's not coming with you or any of you! You're coming with me." mariing saad nya. Lumayo agad ako. Kinikilabutan ako sa kanya.

"H-Hindi ako sumasama sa hindi k--"

"Baby, let's go. Maybe he's just hot tempered right now." Jarred.

I clenched my jaw and turn my back at him. Seeing his irritational face makes me vomit. He's the reason why I have to gone through all this bad lucks in me. How? I don't know! I just want to blame him for that! Seeing him is like, seeing Mico. They're one. I can feel that he's worse than Mico. I don't even get myself the last time I asked him for a date!

'Because there's something bothering you.'

'Hell that curiosity that I'm feeling towards him!'

'Just make a move.'

I was taken aback when he grab my shoulder and forcefully face him. I can no longer read any emotion from his face. Just like when I joked around. When I told him I 'was'  a prostitute to have a wealthy life. No one dared to interfere. As if we got stoned from our feet when he gave those looks to me.

"Are you really that desperate?" he said with flat tone. All my hair at the back of my neck, stood up!

"What?" me. I don't get what he's pointing. His face turned furious when I asked him.

"I said are you really that desperate!?" he shouted like he don't care whoever hears his furious voice. "Going to any guy who has affection towards you!? Kissing every guy who wants to kiss you!? Do you know him? Huh?" I was off-guard of it. I got stiff and everything.. What is he talking about?

I'm about to speak when he gave me fucking smirk. Looking down on me. Saying that I'm just a 'low-class-woman'. And that fucking hurts that I don't even know why!

"Prof, I.. I don't understand.. you..?" shit. I'm scared.

"Tsk! Sky, will you please stop acting like an innocent one? You already have a boyfriend, and that's Gio! Second, is Kiko. Third your professor in Science, which is Mico. Fourth is Ismael, which is I thought your 'friend' and now my brother's best friend, Storm!?" he said with his most scary firm voice.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit kailangan mag init ang bawat sulok ng mata ko. Naka tingin sakin ang mga kaibigan ko na para bang nag tataka sa sinasabi ni Yuki. Wala naman kami'ng relasyon.. Mga kaibigan ko sila.. Pero bakit gano'n ang tingin nya? Bakit gano'n ang tingin nila? Para'ng binabalatan nila ako ng buhay.

Tumingin ako sa mga kaibigan ko. Lele, Anna, Mizzel.. All of them are looking me with disgust. Even my boy friends. Gio.. He can't look at me.. I don't expect anything from Jarred. He's mad.. But not enough to come and save from this fucking embarrassment..

Traitors..

Just like my family..

They are just traitors, who only want is to make my life more miserable.

I look at Yuki. I want to see his boyish grin that he gave when I was in his place. But it makes my heart more rebellious because of fear, when I saw his eyes.. Eyeing me like a dirt. I was surprised when he pointed his finger right to my face and look at me with disgust. Again.

"What? Can't say a thing? Bakit Sky, nahihiya ka? Di, wag ka mahiya! Oh, Yahiro and Yahiko are here as well, baka gusto mo sila'ng isunod?" naka ngising saad nya. Yumuko lang ako. Narinig ko'ng napa singhap si Yahiko.. Shit.. Ano ba'ng nagyayari?

"Prof.. Bakit nyo sinas--" he cutted me.

"Maybe you're lying that time? Na talaga'ng prostitute ka. Na nag bebenta ka ng aliw para maka bili ng ganun kaganda'ng lugar." may pang iinsultong putol nya. "I should congratulate you 'angel'. Napaniwala mo'ko.."

That make sense..

Hindi talaga maganda mag open sa matatanda..

They are only interested in our secrets.. Then after that.. They are gonna use it from us.. To embarrass us.. To make fun of us.. To shout in the whole world your weaknesses...

And Yuki is one of them.

"Hindi.. Pera ko talaga iyon.. Kahit itanung mo sa mga kaibigan ko.. Akin yon.." mahina'ng saad ko. Tumawa sya ng pagak kaya nag iwas ako ng tingin.

"Then ask them by yourself? Let's see who's believing you." nang hahamong sabi nya. Tumingin ako sa kanila.

"Guys, di'ba pera ko naman talaga yung ginagamit ko? Alam nyo yun di ba?" desperada'ng tanung ko.

But all my hopes and desperation was swept away, the moment all of them avoid my stare and shrug their heads and shoulder. What the!? Alam nila'ng lahat iyon! Bukod sa family ko, wala na ako'ng itinago sa kanila!

"H-Hey, ano ba yan? Alam nyo! Gio, di'ba may pera--"

"Sky.." Gio shrug his head. Mentioning me to stop.

"Shit ka Gio. We're best friend's every since elementary days! You even saw where I lived and what life I had when we were young and now you're fucking telling me to stop!? L-Lele, Kiko.. Diba alam ny--"

"Enough of it Ms Tsui. Let's meet at the guidance office by monday. Please bring you parents or guardian--" Yuki

"Wala ako'ng kasalanan. Para saan at hahanapin mo sila?" naguguluha'ng tanung ko.

"To talk about your expulsion. Or kung mabait ang mga kaibigan mo at hindi mag sumbong ay suspension lang ang makukuha mo."

After that, he left.

Fuck?

Awhile ago. Everything's fine.

Awhile ago, someone's putting a sash and crown on me. Giving me bouquet of flowers and a cheering friends.

But now..

Where are they?

"Angel.. Are you okay?" Yahiro. I look at him with confuse.

"Angel, your name is Sky?" Yahiko. I look away.

"Baby.." Jarred. I look at him.. Glaring at him. I want to skin him alive!

"You bastard! A-Alam mo na pera ko iyon pero hindi mo ako ipinag tanggol!" ako. He just look at me. Emotionless.

"Sky, 'wag mo na sya idamay." Ismael.. Now he knows my name huh?

May ginawa ba ako? Bakit.. Bakit bigla'ng nag bago yung tingin nila sakin? Tanginang buhay naman ang meron ako! Puro traydor bawat parte! I'm about to walk near to them when they step backward. I look at them with surprise. Mizzel is looking at me with disgust written all over her face.

Hey, what did I do to her?

"Let's go home." she said coldly. I smiled to her, but she rolled her eyes.

"U-Uh.. Wait lang, mag papalit ako ng dam--" ako

"Maiiwan ka. May lalaki ka nama'ng kasama." Lele. Sino?

"Huh? Wala, teka lang antayin nyo naman ako!" ako. Nag lalakad na sila eh. Tinignan pa ako ni Donna. Inaantok.

"Ayaw ka namin kasabay. Totoo nga ang iniisip namin sa'yo dati pa.. Prostitute." Anna

And that word left me dumbfounded.

Hindi ko namalayan na iisa na lang pala ako. Tahimik na nag palit ako ng damit saka umalis. Nanlamig ang mga kamay ko sa naisip ko.. Sa sinabi ni Anna.. ibig sabihin, ni-minsan.. Hindi sila nag tiwala sa sinabi ko. Apat na taon kami'ng mag kakasama. Pamilya na ang turing ko sa kanila. Almusal, tanghalian, hapunan, sila ang kasabay ko.

Trinato ko sila'ng mga kapatid dahil yun ang kailangan ko ng mga panaho'ng iyon. Dumeretso ako sa parking lot at sumakay sa motor bike ko. Wala'ng lugar na naka rehistro sa utak ko habang nag papatakbo. Ihinawak ko sa ulo ang isa'ng kamay ko at tinanggal ang helmet. Hinayaan sumabay sa hangin ang buhok ko.

Na su-suffocate ako sa mga nangyari. Mas binilisan ko ang pag papatakbo hanggang sa rumehistro sakin ang mukha ni Yuki.. Yung mga ngiti'ng ibinibigay nya sakin tuwi'ng wala'ng naka tingin. Yung malalambing na pananalita nya na umuulit sa tenga ko.

Then something hit my inner self.

"My heart.. It's pounding.." I whisper from the breeze..
