TRUTH AND LIES
(Mico and I)
Episode 11
I flinched and also looked at her.
“Dangerous?” I asked. “How?”
“Well, he’s a flirt; a playboy. The only thing he’s interested in is using and dumping ladies. He always wants to have sex with every lady he sees and is attracted to.” Sandy replied.
I looked back at the boy and felt surprised.
So he was a player?
“He defeated Mico last year in the inter school basketball competition. MHS and bright stars had gotten to the finals and Jeremy was the team leader in Bright Stars and Mico’s team was defeated by them.”
“He attends a different school?” I asked.
“Yes. He does. He attends Bright Stars High school at Davao city. But right now, he’s here with Mrs Houston and two other teachers on a school project. So he’s receiving lectures from us for the meantime before he goes back.
“I know he’s charming, Alysaa, but too bad he’s a player. He’s actually my second biggest crush”.
I looked at her and scoffed.
“Really? And who’s your first?” I asked.
“Funny question. Who else? Mico, of course”.
I smiled and looked away . everybody wants my Mico.
I stated at the Jeremy and found it shocking to know he’s a player. He’s really cute indeed. But Is that why he has to be a player?
Mico is also cute but he’s not a player. Even Nigel is 50% cuter than him.
Well, maybe 45% , or 40% or something like 38%.
Wait; why am I even comparing Nigel to him?
Crazy.
Sandy tapped me and we started walking away.
“Over there in Bright Stars” she continued. “He’s more like the all-ladies guy. Just like the way Mico is popular over here, that’s the way he is in Bright Stars.
“But he’s not ready to settle down with a girl. He just wants to have a taste of everyone.
“Even a cousin sister of mine over there is a victim. He sweet talked her to bed and she couldn’t resist if and boom! He dumped her. She fell sick after that, but..what to do?”
Wow! So even her cousin sister over there is a victim yet she’s still crushing on him. Isn’t that stupid?
How I wish I could say it out.
“He’s very rich” she continued. “Like very rich. But uncannily, nobody knows anything about his family”.
I pulled a muddled face.
“How?” I asked.
“Nobody knows anything about his background, like where he lives, his family, a relative or something. He hasn’t opened up to anyone and it seems he doesn’t even want anyone to know.”
Okay. This is really really confusing.
“B…but why?” I asked.
“Well, I don’t know. That’s just what I heard.
Seriously? Who could he be? How come nobody knows anything about him?
“I know you’re already drooling on him alysaa. But I’d suggest you stay away from him. You know you’re pretty and trust me, if he sets his eyes on you, he’s never going to rest until he’s kneeling in between your legs.” She said to me.
I opened my mouth in shock and closed it immediately.
That sounded scary
This sandy of a lady.
Well I’m sure nothing like that can happen because he’s never going to see me.
I mean, in this whole big Mico High, how can he run into someone like me?
We got to a very beautiful place and woah! It seemed to be the school cafeteria.
I looked in amusement as the entire place looked like paradise to me
Who could believe this was just a school eatery?
Will I even be able to buy anything from here? How much did mother even give to me?
With the way the cafeteria was looking, I’m sure the money I was having would only be enough to buy a spoon.
“Come on Alysaa, don’t worry. Bills on me” sandy said and my eyes beamed.
Wow!
I smiled and followed her happily into the hall and we found an empty table to sit on.
There were so many students there and they all kept talking and laughing.
Sandy left for a while and returned with two plates of the same meal – rice pudding.
How did she know I love rice pudding?
“Are you part of the young miss beauty contest?” I asked as we started eating.
“What? He’ll no. I’m not ready for something like that” she replied, squeezing her face a little.
“It’s meant for the braniacs in school and I’m so not one of them. Although there’s no more space for new contestants, anyway.”
“the place is filled up?” I asked.
“Yes. There should be just ten contestants and they’re already up to ten. Four ladies from our class are among – Alexa, Daisy Chloe and Ivy”.
Oh, so Alexa is among? That rude girl.
“Wow! They’re quite intelligent” I replied, nodding my head.
“Yes. And the winner here is going to represent Manilla in the finals and trust me, it’s going to be super hot because then, Samantha will also be involved.”
I glanced at her.
“Samantha? Who’s Samantha?”
“Samantha Houston – the she devil. She’s the representative of Davao city and attends Bright Stars High school, the same school with Jeremy.
“She’s the best in the school and when I say best, I mean no one has ever been able to defeat her. She’s also Alexa’a biggest enemy”.
Wow! This sounds quite interesting.
“Alexa’s the wicked queen here in Mico High but trust me, she’s nowhere close to Samantha. If Alexa’s the devil’s daughter, then Samantha’s the devil’s queen. She’s deadlier than a snake.”
“Sandy!”I called. “You make it sound like she’s very scarey”
“Well she is. Just pray you don’t get to meet someone like her. She’s actually Mrs Houston’s daughter”
“Mrs Houston? The English teacher?” I asked, surprised.
“Yes. and I know Mrs Houston is kind but her daughter is way too evil. Sometimes, I think a DNA test is necessary”
I laughed and shot her a stare. She’s so funny.
Just then I noticed some guards coming in and I looked in amusement and oh, my God! It was Mico!
My Mico!
He was walking with two guards in front of him and two behind and everybody’s attention had turned to him.
Students were already taking pictures with their phones.
? It’s Mico…”
?Look at him…”
? Oh my God!
? Can he see me?
? Look at his shoes…
The students were already aching like they wanted to die.
Can you imagine? If they like they should die.
“Oh, Mico. He’s so cute” Sandy said to me, holding my hand and I gawped at her.
Mtcheww.
I took my eyes back to him and he was already sitting on a table with his guards behind him.
Wow! So this is how students of MHS get to see him everyday? They’re so lucky and now, I’m also lucky.
Oh, Mico!
He whispered something to one of the guards and immediately, the guard walked up to the middle of the cafeteria and announced:
“Sorry for the inconvenience, but sir Mico wants the hall cleared. He wants everyone out”
A wild grumbling ran across the cafeteria as all students were shocked and disappointed.
How can he do something like that?
Why is he always pushing me away?
Oh, God! Give me the strength to stand up to this guy one day.
