Part Two:
In continuation… The rest of the day moved on, I am both depressed and exhausted. Di ko na alam ang mangyayari, ba’t ba ang malas ko?
Then, to add insult to injury *heartbreak* nakita ko si cute girl # 3, the one whom I said was sitting two seats beside the guy in front of me. I don’t understand why but her eyes were so beautiful, such a face was so innocent, it was like her face was carved by angels. However, my momentary hypnosis broke when I noticed the guy beside her.
What the f*ck? She’s flirting with that dickhead? *I know I’m not handsome or anything, but I know for sure that I look better than that ala-jejemon ang porma and acting like a complete ass* It was like my little shattered heart could not break down anymore so it just turned to dust. I mournfully watched as boy jejemon got his hands all over cute girl # 3 plus, she seems to like it. *Palibhasa pareho nang pinanggalingang school eh, ano nga ba namang palag ko?*
It was five o’clock and it was time to go home. I dragged my legs heavily to the highway to find a jeepney to ride I went home to eat and sleep. I prayed hard that tomorrow would be a better day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, to make matters worst. I just opened my PC and a little while later it crashed down. When I opened it back, all my files were nowhere to be found… Shit! ANUNG ORAS NA? I looked up at the wall clock and there it was, class starts at 8 while I was still hogging on the PC at 7:30. I quickly took a shower, brushed my teeth, left my house with an empty stomach., and ran after a jeepney. It was 8: 06 when I got there.
I thought it was literally the worst day of my life; when, just as I opened the door, I saw THE BIG Andre -Da-Giant-Goliath-Monkey-headed-dinosaur, sitting up front. That could only mean one thing, as my ears clapped with excitement. I saw her sitting at her original seat beside me.
I could hardly believe it, just when everything seemed so dim and hopeless. I sat beside her and whispered:
.
ME(Marc): Nag-attendance na kayo? *You have no Idea how important attendace is*
Ivy: Oo.
.
Instead of reacting violently, I just smiled and nodded. I took my seat and put out my handbook and took the test. It was like, my whole world rose from the ashes…
.
“For all the times I felt cheated, I complained
You know how I love to complain
For all the wrongs I repeated, though I was to blame
I still cursed that rain
I didn’t have a prayer, didn’t have a clue
Then out of the blue
God gave me you to show me what’s real
There’s more to life than just how I feel
And all that I’m worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn’t know why
Now I do, ’cause God gave me yoooouuuuu”
~God Gave Me You-Bryan White
The rest of the day went on and on. Thanks to the always playful teachers, the whole class always had a great time. Especially Ivy, she was smiling the whole time. Which made me love every second of the day that I see her smile. Those lips, those teeth, those dimples, every curve and contour of her face was highlighted by her smile. I loved her–*Shit! Am I inlove? Love was ripped off my vocabulary weeks ago. But what is this feeling? Everytime she smiles it feels like I’m melting. Is this love? Bahala na nga!*
.
“For all the times I wore my self pity like a favorite shirt
All wrapped up in that hurt
For every glass I saw, I saw half empty
Now it overflows like a river through my soul
From every doubt I had, I’m finally free
I truly believe God gave me you to show me what’s real
There’s more to life than just how I feel
And all that I’m worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn’t know why
Now I do, ’cause God gave me you”
.
The rest of the hours past and I loved every second of it. Lunch came, it was only good for forty minutes. I got my packed lunch and ate it fast. I got my notebook and started to finish writing my song. It was dedicated for the fathers who are raising their daughters alone *yeah I know, I usually use tragic events as inspiration*
.
Ivy: Ano yan?
I immediately closed my notebook and said.
Marc: Ahh… Wala.
.
She was leaning in front of me. I could easily see her cute handful breasts dangling inside her low-neck shirt. WOW! It was too good to be true. She was in front of me smiling, she was so CUTE! My eyes melted.
.
.
She took her seat as the teacher entered the classroom. I notice Mr. Jejemon firting with cute girl #3 again but I couldn’t care less. Nabusog ang mga mata ko sa nakita ko.
.
Now, the amazing thing about this review center was that it was soooo interactive. Teacher use the seat plan to call us randomly.
.
Sir X: Miss Alyssa…
.
Tumayo si cute girl #3. Alyssa pala ang pangalan niya. I just gave a deep sigh as she answered the teacher’s question.
As expected, the rest of the day went on, except, this time I was happier than yesterday. By the end of the day. I asked her politely.
Marc: Anong plano mong course?
Ivy: Ewan, dami ko pa kasing pinagpipilian eh.
.
With that said, she smiled again. I couldn’t help but melt down in her eyes. I tried my best to distance myself so I don’t get myself into any embarrassment. By the way, she’s got great legs too. Cause today she was wearing a maong pants, which had the ‘torn-through’ design so I can see patches of her legs. They look almost as slippery as the skin on her face. .
Anyway. did I mention that the building’s floor was so effin’ slippery? My shoes can barely grip the floor. anyway as I walked down the stairs. I heard them screaming *tunog harutan* The first stair was only three steps higher from the next one.
.
I saw them run, Ivy tripped and she slammed down on me and we’re both down on the floor. I could barely see what just happened but my chest can feel her soft, tender breasts press against my own. She immediately stands up and tries to help me up.
.
Ivy: Hui, sory ahhh…
Marc: Di okay lang
Alyssa: Ayyyyiiieee…
.
I was almost happy, OK lang ako kaso sumingit ‘tong si brother Jejemon. Tangina mo pre! Ganda nang timing mo gago!
Inakbayan niya si Alyssa and they walked away. Sumunod na kami sa pagbaba ni Ivy. Kahit masakit ang likod ko, di ko ‘to inalintana why? Cause the only thing that I feel that time was my chest beating. I try to talk but when I open my mouth the word’s just wont come out.
.
“His palms are sweaty,
Knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit on his sweater already
Mom’s spaghetti
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down the whole crowd goes so loud,
He open’s his mouth but the words won’t come out
He’s choking how? Everybody’s joking now
Time’s up, It’s over now…”
~Lose Yoursself-Eminem
That song played in my head as we walked to the gate, when we reached it, I was finally able to muster up some courage. I said:
Marc: Uhmmm… gusto mo ba nood tayo sine?
Ivy: Ha? Adik ah, biglang tanong na ganyan?
Marc: OO o hinde? *My knees are shaking here*
Ivy: Libre mo?
Marc: Oo naman:
Ivy: Game!
Marc: Kelan mo gusto?
Ivy: Bukas payag ako, wala naman akong gagawin eh, anyway sorry at advanced thank you na rin para bukas.
She held my shoulder with one hand and smiled…
“In your arms I’m someone newWith ever tender kiss from you
Oh must confess
I’ve been blessed
God gave me you to show me what’s real
There’s more to life than just how I feel
And all that I’m worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn’t know why (didn’t know why)
Now I do (I finally do), ’cause God gave me you (God gave me You)
God gave me you….”
She ran off to a minivan and rode away. I hailed a jeep and went home with excitement in every inch of my body.
