NOPI Chapter 62: Weren't you the ones who told me to say calm and think rationally?

NOPI Chapter 62

The female student in the picture was.. Me.

Ito 'yung time na hinatid ako ng driver namin straight from The Elite School.

Ang second picture naman ay 'yung time na hinihila ako ni Ed palabas ng cafeteria papunta sa boys' dormitory para bisitahin si Charles. Kahapon lang 'to.

Ang third picture naman ay kasama ko si Rico. We weren't alone that time, but the photo obviously just shot the two of us together. Nakabend pa si Rico papunta sa akin at may kukunin dapat na ballpen. But because of the angle, it seemed as though he was trying to hold my hand.

I subconsciously peeked at Mandy who was already looking at me.

Nang makita niya akong tumingin sakanya ay tinaas niya ang kilay niya.

"What? I was there, okay? No need to explain and you don't have to. Tsk. The photographer's actually so skilled" bitter niyang sabi kaya naman napailing na ko't binalik na ang tingin ko sa screen

Ang fourth picture naman ay kay Ken. Ken was handing me a paper. No one knows that it was actually a letter from Charles for me, so it seemed like Ken was the one giving it to me and because it was decorated with a ribbon, a signature and a heart sign, everyone who don't know the story behind it would probably think that it's.. a love letter.

I immediately looked at Venus, napailing nalang siya't natawa na.

*sigh Great. Even the girlfriend-protector Ken is included in this scandal.

Ang fifth picture nama'y kay Rod. Sumusunod ako kay Rod sa picture na 'to. We were with the squad too but I guess just like Rico's, the photo only had the two of us.

It was intentional. I see.

Sa picture na 'to.. para bang sinusundan ko si Rod sa kung saan siya pupunta.

This time, I looked at Violet who was pouting her lips and was obviously holding in her rage. Haha. Katabi niya si Rod nung mga panahong 'yon eh.

Akala ko tapos na ang thread pero nagtaka ako dahil may 2nd page pa pala kaya naman agad ko 'yon binuksan.

Nang makita ko ang dalawang pictures na natitira ay hindi na ako nakapagreak pa.

Ang isa ay kasama ko si Kuya Joseph sa cafeteria, the two of us were eating together.

Habang ang pinakalast naman ay kay Charles.

This was when I was tutoring him Income Taxation even though I clearly knew that he was good at it.

Sa lahat ng pictures na ipi-nost, mga blurred lahat ng mga mukha ng mga boys pero anyone close to them would notice it so easily just by their posture, hairstyle and even aura. The female - me, on the other hand, was very clear. It wasn't too hard for anyone to recognize that the female student the user was trying to slander was me.

8 p.m. ipinost ang thread, and since it's already 7 a.m. It means that it had been 12 hours since then.

The thread went viral overnight and has more than a hundred responses to it.

Sharing and tagging everyone they know, students surely loved to gossip.

Nang biniba ko ang thread at pumunta na sa comment section ay agad na akong pinahinto ni Violet.

"You.. You shouldn't read the comments. The user was obviously slandering you but ever--"

"Violet, it's fine. Immature remarks from immature people won't hurt me. Trust me on this" agad kong sagot kaya naman napabugtong hininga na siya saka tumango na halatang labag naman sa kalooban niya

'AnnoyingBtch'

I know that person! She's the exchange student from the Elite School, Sephine Cruz! Wow! I can't believe it!

'Scumoftheschool'Eh, Sephine Cruz, huh? She looks so innocent and pure though! You really can't judge the book by it's cover! What a btch!

'GoBackIdiot'

I've seen her though! She's very pretty even with all those.. uhm.. distractions in her face. She's also smart but it seems like she has other skills too!

'SheHasTheSkills'

Ehehey, hindi niyo ba alam? Kung gaano siya ka-hindi makabasag pinggan sa panglabas na anyo, kabaliktaran naman sa kaloob looban niya!

Isasarado ko na sana ang school forums pero nang may makita nanamang akong thread na connected sa pinost ni 'NotLookingForTrouble'. Pero ang nag-post ngayon ay si 'NerdsGotSkills'.

Nang mabasa ko palang ang username niya ay kumunot na ang noo ko.

This feeling.

De javu?

The students really.. What an awesome sense of.. creativity.

Nagulat ako dahil discussion na ang meron sa new thread. Ah, so now they're starting to light the oil with flames!

'CampusBelle'

Now that I focused on these pictures, it's not really that hard to recognize who these men are! What a joke! It's the princes, that famous Joseph Falcon and an unknown guy!

'ZeroFoxGiven'

Ohmygod, ngayon na nai-mention mo sila, napaisip ako at kinompare ko nga't tugmang tugma! Wow, this nerd's very gutsy indeed! An unfashionable trash clearly vying for all the handsome guy's attention! You should guard your boys now people!"

'NationsPrince'

Eh, so hindi lang siya pumapatol sa matatanda, sa artista kundi pati narin mga estudyante ng school?! Wait, that's my Adonis Joseph Lumiere Falcon, isn't it?! She dared?!

'AntiFan'

Ako lang ba ang curious kung paano niya nakayanang i-juggle ang napakaraming lalake na mga 'yan?"

'AsPrettyAsAFlower'

Lol. Hindi pa ba halata? Eh sa malandi siya? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk

'CheapVich'

The princes were actually the ones that reached out to her! Did she poison them or something?! I heard she only came from an ordinary background. Just what power did she have to be able to achieve such a feat?!

'Speechless'

Are those men... blind?

And so the comments.. went on.

"..........." - me

Napakaraming nagrereply sa thread at halos lahat ng mga comments ay.. well.. disrespectful.

Nabigla kami ng biglang paluin ni Mandy ang study table ko saka sumigaw

"Heck, I can't take it anymore! I knew those bullies were up to something! After all, they were lying low lately! I'm so going to kill those idiots! How dare they slander the muse of the Falcon Family just because of these ambiguous photos! They're really a bunch of morons!"

"..........." - me

That's.. pretty intense Mandy. Maawa ka naman sa study table ko. *sigh

"Mandy, get a hold of yourself. You're right. They've really gone too far this time. Hindi ko alam na marami pala talagang magagaling mangbully sa Royal Academy. Ang tatalino nila. They're even using the social media now! I can't believe them. Did jealousy made them lose their rationality or something?" dagdag naman ni Venus

"Nang una ko palang mabasa ang posts ay parang sasabog na ako sa galit. Yes, the boys are very close to Sephine, to us. They're very famous, very handsome and very influential. But so what? Sephine's pretty too, right?! So what if she's a nerd?! She has the best grades on her year, has the best reputation and are all the instructor's favorite student! How dare they?!" dagdag naman ni Violet

"..........." - me

You guys.. Bakit kinukuha niyo ang mga linya ko? Diba dapat ako ang nagwawala ngayon?

Weren't you the ones who told me to say calm and think rationally?
