Harriet's Point of View

I woke up with a painful sensation on my right cheek. I tried to open my eyes but all I could see was white, nasa heaven na ba ako? Joke, ceiling lang pala, I jerked my head slowly to my left and see my dad sleeping. I  gently tapped my dad's head, thankfully he woke up.

"Dad" mangiyak ngiyak na sabi ko. I couldn't move my other hand properly kasi may cast. 

"Princess, are you okay?" I just nodded then he suddenly hugged me. "Who did this to you? Sino, princess, ipapakulong natin siya." I just smiled. "Dad, it's okay. As long as I'm alive, it's okay. I don't know them anyway." I lied, I'm not okay, and I know their faces.

"Sweetie," I looked at my mom and clearly she was crying. "We can't just tolerate them, you know that." She added. Tama naman kasi si mommy eh, but I don't know their names and I just can't bare seeing them anymore.

"Mom, I promise I'm fine." I smiled pero isa pa rin itong malaking kasinungalingan. I heard my parents sigh and so I sighed. "Mom, I wanted to report them pero hindi po clear sa aking ang nangyari, all I know is nandoon ako sa parking space ng school."

"We'll work on that, sweetie." Sabi naman ni mommy kaya napa nod nalang ako, I heard the door open and by surprise, dumalaw ang napakamabait kong bestfriend.

We just talked and talk nothing much, pero sabi ng mommy ko na she will get me bodyguards, ang OA pero wala rin naman akong magawa, I just agreed, hays.

Three days later, nakabalik na rin ako sa school and I was with my BG's pinasama sila eh, naghintay lang sila sa akin sa waiting area kasi di sila pwedeng pumasok. When I entered the room, all eyes were on me. Ah, sa sugat at cast ko siguro 'to. I was about to sit down on my chair when Elijah grabbed my hand. I'm supposed to avoid him.

"Look, I'm sorry-" I cut him off. "May kasalanan ka ba?" Tinarayan ko ang boses ko para naman diba, ah basta. "W-wala."

"Wala naman pala eh, why are you apoligizing? Sorry is an overly used word, you say it when you have done something wrong sa dapat bigyan ng sorry. Nagkakaintindihan ba tayo?" He just nodded and continued what I was supposed to do, sit down.

5 minutes before the bell, pinatawag ako ng dean, and when I went down, nakasalubong ko ang tatlong babae and I also saw my bodyguards. They were about to go with me pero I signaled them not to go with me. I went ahead the three girls and by surprise, lumuhod sila sa harapan ko. 

"Please forgive us." Sabay-sabay nilang sabi and all I could do was pull them to stand up. "You don't have to kneel. Uy, tumayo na kayo." Hindi pa rin sila tumayo pero pinapatuloy ko pa rin ang pagpapatayo sa kanila. Finally, tumayo na rin sila so pumasok na kami sa dean, we were scolded, mostly them though.

"You may now leave, Ms. Mendoza, you three, stay here." Umalis na ako at pumuntang canteen. Naging loner na naman ako until someone tapped my back.

"Hey, b*tch." Sabi nung may short hair. "Thanks, you got us suspended!" Linakasan niya ang boses niya para marinig ng lahat, so all attention sa amin. 

"Suspended?" Tumawa ang may makapal na makeup then she slapped me.

"'Wag ka ngang mag maang-maangan. You psycho little b*tch!" Sinabunutan niya naman ako and dumating ang mga bodyguards ko at inawat sila. I cleared my throat, "Maiba nga tayo, why are you blaming me? Kulang pa nga ang suspension eh, you see this?" Turo ko sa mukha ko, "how about this?" Pakita ko sa kamay kong may cast. "Alam niyo ba na ako na nga ang nagmaka-awa sa dean na 'wag na kayong i expell, tapos ano to? Sasabunutan niyo pa ako?"

Tumayo ako sa kina-uupuan ko at nagpatuloy, "I didn't even tell my parents that those people na sumabunot at nambugbog sa'kin ay kayo." Tumingin ako sa kanila, "My parents even said na ipakulong kayo but what did I say? 'Mom, I don't really know them.' I lied to them for Pete's sake! And kung sasabihin niyo man na palaban ako dahil  may bodyguards ako, pwes I never wanted them , it was my parents decision. Now if you'll excuse me."

Tumayo ako and naglakad papuntang sasakyan naman. I told one of my BG's ma uuwi na kami kasi I coudn't manage na but to cry.
