MASCOT OF SHAME (Mikhaiah + Mikhcey)

Prologue

Mikha's POV

"Ano pang ginagawa nyo rito? Magsibalik na nga kayo sa classrooms nyo!. Mga chismosa!." Sermon ng President ng student council naming si Ate Aiah, nagsitakbuhan naman agad ang mga students.

"Are you okay?" Sabay tingin ni Ate Aiah sakin.

Tumango lang ako.

"I know you're not. How about icecream?." Sabi nya.

"Ate.."

"Don't worry, my treat." Sabi niya sabay ngiti nagmamadaling nilinis ang kalat sa sahig ng Science Lab.

"How about class?" Nag-aalalang tanong ko rito.

"I'll take care of it. Let's go?." Sabi niya sabay hugas ng kamay nya.

Andito kami ngayon sa campus treehouse kumakain ng icecream.

"Are you sure--"

"As the President, every student's welfare is my responsibility and I want you to be honest with me Mikha, were those girls bullying you?." She sincerely asked.

"No."

"I can't help you if you won't tell me the truth." Sabi niya.

"Ate, I'm the team captain of the varsity team. I'm pretty sure I can handle myself."

"Then why did they--"

"They didn't do anything, it was an accident. I-I accidentally bumped into-i-into uhm--into Stacey at ayun, nasira yung Science project ko. Pero it's okay, I'll make the project again nalang." Sabi ko.

"I can help you if you want."

"Ate Aiah, it's fine. I can handle it." Sabi ko.

After class

6 PM

Sa apartment ko.

"I'm sorry about kanina." Stacey sincerely apologized.

"K-kailan mo ba talaga planong sabihin sa team yung about satin Stace? E-especially your family. I-I mean--you know we can't hide forever. Kagaya nung kanina muntik pa talaga tayong mahuli sa lab and like usual, you had to act as if you were pissed the sht out of me in front of everybody else."

"I'll do your project, don't worry." She slightly looked away.

"What? No. Stacey, that's not the point."

"I know Mikhs--I know precisely your point b-but--"

"But what?."

"I-I don't think I can." Sabi niya.

And for a moment I felt my heart sunk.

"W-what do you mean you--are you breaking up with me?" I saif with my voice about to break.

DEAFENING SILENCE

"Well that answers it, leave."

"Mikha--"

"I said leave!. Ano?! Kailangan ko pa ba tagalugin for you to understand?! Leave Stacey! We're over!." As I dragged her out of my apartment and shut the fckin door locked as I cried , I just knew I would regret this later.
