“Your neighbor is sleeping again,” Miggy said.
I sighed. “What’s new with that?”
“Is he really like that?” My seatmate asked that I again forgot the name. What was with this girl that I always forgot her name?
“What’s your name again?” I asked her.
“Kalie Delicana. You’re a valedictorian yet you’re amnesiac. I thought you’re a dyke, Zeah? How could you forget this goddess-like gi—,"
I hit Miggy’s head before he could continue his corny ways. How disgusting, it didn’t suit him. A nerd and then a pervert? Nah, he seemed to be…
“Trying hard,” I said. He only pouted and read a book. See? A nerdy pervert pouting? It was disgusting, right? Truly disgusting!
When Ma’am Sunshine came in, Tyrone was still sleeping so I…
“Let’s change seats, I’m already bored here in front.” I told Andrew, who was seated next to Tyrone and also his friend. Actually, he was the only one that didn’t abuse Tyrone’s wealth, since he, himself was wealthy.
“So you’re commanding me?”
“YES, WHY?” I glared at him then pointed Tyrone using my mouth, “I’ll just wake him up.” I whispered.
“You should’ve said so straightaway.” He whispered back. “Okay, I’m also bored here at the back.” He added and exchanged seats. Those who had heard the conversation beside us laughed.
Tyrone woke up and as expected, he was startled. “What are you doing here?”
“Nothing, I’m bored in front, eh. Your seatmate was also done with you snoring.” I didn’t look at him since Ma’am Sunshine would notice.
“I don’t snore.”
“How would you know, eh you’re asleep? Tss. What an airhead. Stop talking since Ma’am would find out. I don’t want a green slip.”
“Dyke,” He whispered and then stopped talking. I am not even affected.
While our adviser was discussing, I saw my seatmate was close to falling asleep so I nudged him…
Tyrone stood up straightaway and spoke, “WHO’S THE ENEMY?”
Everyone was startled. “What is it, Mr. Dela Cruz?” Asked Ma’am Sunshine. Tyrone shook his head and sat down. Our classmates laughed but I just gave him a weird face.
“Always playing DOTA, huh, look what happened,” I commented that made everyone laughed more.
I would be dead again later for Tyrone would surely kill me, I embarrassed him after all. I was not afraid since I was braver than him. He couldn’t even punch. At least, I knew how, even a little bit.
“Just burn to hell,” Tyrone told me.
“I can’t. You’d miss me.”
“Dream on.” He glared at me.
It was snacks time, Tyrone and I were left in the classroom. There were other people though we were seated beside each other plus, they were in another world.
“What are you still doing here? Leave! I’m going to nap. After you made me sleep late…” Our classmates shared looks. Oh my gosh! The worst thing was, he continued! “After you woke me so early? Who wouldn’t be sleepy?!” He shouted so our classmates inside the room started whispering.
I glared at them so they looked away.
“How about, you are so slow to act! Another thing, I didn’t cause you to sleep late. The reason why you’re wakeful was that you’re playing computer or x-box. How could you accuse me. I would kick you, eh! You even walked out last night—," My classmates shared another look. What the hell!
“How could I not walk out, you were too loud?!” Our faces were so near to each other, it seemed like there was an electricity with how we were looking at each other with great contempt.
I took a deep breath. “Nevermind. I only want to say that if you want to be successful, sleep on the right time and place. Not inside a class where the teacher was discussing. Aunt Ry’s money would only be waste—,"
“See? Really chatty.” Said Tyrone. He’s irritating!
“NEVERMIND WITH YOUR LIFE!” Then I walked out. What a bad trip! I quickly walked across the school’s hallway. Let him be with his life! Maybe if I hadn’t walked out, I would’ve truly punched him!
“Hey!”
I looked back, it was Andrew. “Why?”
“What’s your plan?” He asked.
“Plan? Plenty! But if he’s always like that, even one of it couldn’t be accomplished.” I was about to leave but I forgot to tell something so I faced him again, “And another thing, please tell your friend, f*ck him. Let him approach me when his brain’s not full of air anymore. Thanks!”
Was I evil? But it was just like that. Tyrone had a brain, he only didn’t want to use it or invest in it. How could it have an investment when he couldn’t even hold a book then he’d only sleep in classes, he wouldn’t listen and write, he wouldn’t do his assignments, he’d just play and play, would not review, only went to bars and many more.
SO TELL ME, HOW COULD HIS BRAIN KNOW SOMETHING WHEN THAT PERSON WAS LIKE THAT?
I was about to leave but Andrew called me, “Zeah.” He called me Zeah? Excuse me, we were not close.
“Oh?” I raised a brow at him.
He smiled sadly, “Please don’t give up on him. He needs you.” He then left.
How infuriating, all those people, they would always walk out on me first!
