Chapter Nine

Chapter 9

IT'S BEEN only a week yet I feel so exhausted. I was really distraught, and school days seems like a very long and agonizing trip to hell. If some were thinking being with Ken is cool and enjoying, well they were perfectly mistaken.

Could you even imagine how naughty he is? Ugh.

"Ken, ang parusang ito ay para sating dalawa. Hindi lang para sakin."

"Stop nagging. I will do my task." and with that, he stood up from the swing where he sat for almost fifteen minutes.

Nakahinga ako ng malalim, kasi akala ko tutulong talaga siya. But darn! Yung mga basurang iniligpit ko kinalat niya lang!

"And this is my task, to make your job heavier."

I looked at him, emotionless.

"Are you done making fun of these?" I asked.

"Well.."nagunat-unat muna siya bago magsalita. "It's still not enough." then he grinned, and left me.

I swear, I will make his play more enjoyable.

If he is the player, then I will be the coach.

"Kate! Kate!" Faith shouted bearing its unexplainable emotions on her face...

"What?"

"Y-yung bag mo! Si Ken!"

Dali-dali akong napatakbo kahit hindi ko alam kung saan ako dadalhin ng paa ko.

"Kate! Dito!" it was Paulo, pointing the direction to the comfort room.

"Oh! It looks cool! Ayos naman pala yung bag ni Katelyn, mukhang bowl brush. Panlinis ng tae! Haha." and every people who sees what this idiot did, just laugh.

"Tapos ikaw yung tae?" naagaw ko ang atensyon ng lahat. "Yung bag ko bowl brush, pangkuha ng tae, tapos ikaw yung tae." muli silang tumawa habang ang itsura ni Ken ay hindi maipaliwanag.

"Huh? Sa gwapo kong to?"

"Ay we, gwapo ka pala. Saan po banda?"

"Sa mukha!"

"Ay sensya, di halata. Mukha ka kasing pwet e."

"May mukha ba yung pwet?! Saan ka makakakita ng ganon?!"

"Oo naman. Saan ako makakakita ng ganon? Eto nga oh, nasa harapan ko na."

"Excuse me." I said while entering the comfort room.

And there in the bowl, I saw my precious bag inside it with a poop on top of it.

"May laman yan?" I asked, seriously.

"E-ewan."

I exited the scene and went back to the room.

"Where is Ken's bag?"

"D-di ko alam."

"Sabing nasaan?!" they pointed the grey jansport bag hiding under the chair.

Hinalungkat ko ang bag niya at nakitang wala 'yong ibang laman kundi mga walang kwentang papel. Wala ngang notebooks e.

I fold the papers into small ones and hide it in my pocket and went back to the comfort room.

"Siguradong umiiyak na ngayon si Kate!" it is Josh, who is currently panicking.

Excuse me?! Crying isn't in my vocabulary.

"Bakit ba kasi bag niya pinagtripan mo?!" Stell.

"Kapag ikaw napa-guidance na naman!" Justin.

"You know that Katelyn isn't a piece of cake. As long as she is in the right path, she will fight back." Paulo.

"Whoa! Looks like my friends are afraid of her! Would you please stop defending her? I am your bestfriend! Ako dapat ang kampihan ninyo. She puts my peaceful life into a hell one!"

"Yun lang ba talaga ang kinagagalit mo? O nagagalit ka din kasi nakahanap ka ngayon ng katapat mo? Before she came into your story, your whole life was already a mess." it was Paulo who's speaking.

He caught him off guard. Does it mean, Paulo was right? Tss..

"I don't like her. And I won't stop until she surrender and leave this school. She messed with a wrong person."

"No." nagpakita ako. "You are perfectly incorrect, Mr." I said while showing his bag. I heard everyone gasps when I slowly untied my hand to his beloved bag.

And boom! Nahulog sa bowl! Shoot!

Inagaw ko sa kaniya ang bowl brush at saka idinakdak ang bag niya pailalim. And when I am finally contented on what I did, I throw the brush in his face.

"Fuck!" he groaned.

"Let me rephrase it, Ken."

"You picked a wrong person to mess with." I uttered and plastered a smile before leaving him dumbfounded.

"Ms. Mendez! Are you even listening?!"

"Y-yes Ms."

"Then what did l say a while ago?"

"You haven't say anything about the topic Ms. You were just lecturing us on what should we do when we're in the campus. We are the higher section, so we should not put any harm in our school."

But we are students, not strangers they should be afraid of. And not even a robot, to let them control us.

"Kate, here's your notebooks. I get it before Ken threw it in the comfort room."

"Thank you, Paulo."

"Kate uhm, yung bag ni Ken? Yung laman non?"

"Wala namang laman yon." I just shrugged. "Except dito." then I handed him the papers I saw in his bag.

Napakatamad. Biruin mo mga papers lang na kung ano-ano yung nakalagay sa bag niya. Wala pang ballpen.

"Kate, catch it!" ihinagis sakin ni Josh ang isang kulay lilang bag. Jansport ang tatak.

"Anong gagawin ko dito?"

"Ipasok mo d'yan si Ken, baka kasya!" nandun siya sa unahan kaya kinailangan niyang sumigaw. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at nagtatakang nagtanong sa kanya. "I'm just kidding! Lagay mo mga notebooks mo d'yan!"

"Salamat." I muttered.
