-How to be a Little Flirty-bitch-
My name is Almira Villariba, a fourth year high school student in Don Felix Mariano High. My school is a little bit sossy, but actually most of the students are. Im’ part of the circle called the neglected. I am a geek person, always on the top of my class, I am also present on all school activities and clubs, and there’s a certain reason why I’m doing all of those.
It was never written on my vocabulary the word “giving up” I was born strong, and a fighter. A sixteen year old flourishing high school student who doesn’t possess all the beautiful qualities. But at least, I always do believe that I am beautiful. As the saying goes, “No one would believe you are beautiful if you didn’t believed it on the first place.” It might be sometimes an old saying. But I do admire myself for always believing in that.
As for my family. My mother died on a shabu raid when I was just around five years old. Although I had a father, we had a long-distance relationship ever since. That’s because he was working on another city.
Oh, never mind. I don’t want to bore you with all the stuffs about me and my family. You were here to hear what I had to say. How I fall in love, how it started and turned out and most importantly how it broke me and made me realize a few things.
May 2015 (Freshman year)
My love for Kalel started when I was about to transfer in Don Felix High. I was new to the city, been living all my childhood days in the province and I am adding a few people on Facebook when I had gotten a chance to create my own personal account. I am just making sure that all is set and I had friends from Facebook that goes to the same school as me. And one of my friends was Kalel.
I know it would be very impossible that even before I started entering Don Felix High, I had little things on my pocket about him. We are not yet friends but I labeled him as one of my virtual friends at that time. He was very sweet and calm, one who would most probably pass as a gentleman. He is also such a humorous person, his jokes were corny but I had grown to love it day by day as we talked online.
I admit I haven’t seen him once, but I had been deeply and slowly falling for what he says and does online.
On my first day of school I was really amazed of how handsome he is. I almost drool on my shirt and get myself undressed in front of him. Even my underwear almost drops to the ground.
“Ahm.” I was about to approach and talk to him while all of the girls were surrounding him like crazy. I don’t care if this is a riot, I just wanna see him clearly and hoped to get noticed.
“Fuck, could you please get out of our sight! Do you honestly think Kalel would pay his attention to you? Girl, you better back off, ugly ducklings don’t have a place here.” All of the girls around him synchronously laughs. I examined her face, she’s not even pretty. She looked like a stinky fish. In fact, all of them looked like sardines on a small can.
“Yeah right, you better get out of here, ugly.” Another woman started to scream on my face trying to shoo me away. They are not even rich-looking and I could even smell their bad breaths.
“Kalel might be looking at me than all of you.” They were all stunned and stopped from whatever they were doing and looked at me with curves on their forheads.
“You, you and you. You are all like pathetic, desperate bitches.” I rolled my eyes.
“Do you really want to die here, bitch!” one of them is about to attack me but I had managed to scare them by raising my hand.
“Try to get near me. You will all end up looking like worms on the ground.” I glared at them like they were all wishing for a death wish.
Everybody knows me for being a nice person. But once people had started to step on my shoes, you better hide all your skin.
“Ladies, ladies…just leave her alone.” Kalel smiled at me. And that smile made my heart skip a beat. It feels like there’s a sudden flare that’s about to burst inside my chest. I was blushing.
“Are you okay? Do you also want my autograph?” My daydreams died in an instant when he said that. All things I’ve known about him completely vanished. He is arrogant looking and says all opposite things he was saying through chat.
“Are you out of your mind? I don’t even ask autographs to famous celebrities, now you’re asking me I want yours? Are you some kind of a politician or something?” I snubbed him.
“What did you just say?”
“I said nothing.” I immediately replied.
“Is it okay if I call you, Almira?” I was stunned by what he just said. He completely remembers my name. But, I quickly frowned as I looked at him from head to toe. He is handsome and masculine and those qualities would make girls drool over. But what I was seeing is an arrogant man standing in front of me.
“I prefer if you will not call me at all. And can all of you move over, you were standing in the middle of the gate. It’s making us hard to pass by. And you can have our autograph, I think these girls might need it much more than me.” I frankly said and immediately walked away. If stares could be deadly, I would already be lying on the ground from all of their deadly stares on me.
Freshman year started tough for me. I had to endure of having no friends around, that’s what most transferees had to go through. It’s also unfortunate of me for having such an average face. People would constantly take me for granted and for how many times I thought, no one knew I existed. As if I was invisible, as if nobody cares if I’m hurt or not. It’s like I was there but I am not part of it.
And it made me cry.
