"YAAAKK!!! Si Celine mukhang schoolgirl PORNSTAR!!!" -Cai and Kate
I didn't know why, but I just felt like it.
I combed my hair infront of the mirror. I realized that it was getting longer...but still rather straight and limp. I wanted to try something new.
I pulled my hair down either side of my neck. I tied them up each with an elastic, and viola. I had pigtails.
...
I went through the morning somehow HIGH. I didn't know exactly why either, but I was giddy and happy. As I sat down on my chair in Computer class, I caught Cai and Kate's eyes across me, and just...lost it.
kate: *looks at me* *grins* "Heya, emperor... New look, I see."
cai: *laughs*
me: *grins* *twirls pigtail* "Heya, concubine number one..." *winks*
(pause)
them: *eyes widen* *leans back* "OH GOD!!! Si emperor nabakla!" *laughs their heads off*
me: *laughs* *grins* "Check this out..." *bites the end of a ballpen* *twirls pigtail*
(pause)
them: *eyes widen even more* *covers mouths* "Oh my GOD!!!" *rolls on floor, laughing* "Si Celine! Mukhang schoolgirl PORNSTAR!!!"
me: *manic laughter*
cai: "Notebook naman gamitin mo!"
me: *grin* *covers lower half of face with notebook* *winks*
them: *doubles over with laughter*
kate: "Emperor! What's happened to you?!"
Ah, well...bagong profession, nyahahaha! Joke. Over my dad's dead body. Anyway, I went through the day in that hairstlye, with that same crazy almost perverted personality. Some people found it new and kinda shocking - since they were so used to me being the silent, melancholic, brooding type. But most people said it was...*gags* CUTE. Bagay daw sakin.
*twitch*
Well, my barkada found it adorable. *shrugs* If they say so...malakas sila sakin, eh, hehehehe.
Hey, even my sis found em cute. Which is...nothing less than heartwarming on my part.
...
During the study period, some of my classmates asked me to come over. But they didn't need help with homework...they needed help with their band. They asked me to provide them with at least a basis for their lyrics, and a name for their band. I was stunned.
My writing? Basis for lyrics?
I laughed. "Ang jologs kaya ng mga sinusulat ko!" I gave them a copy of one of my works: "So Alive" (the 'to pull me up, up up up thing), and they...well, they thought otherwise. A few of them even went as far as to come up to me and say:
"Celine, ang galing mo kaya sumulat!"
"You know, Celine, I look up to you."
"Alam mo ba! I admire you."
"Ang lalim talaga ng pag-iisip mo..."
"Lam mo, Celine...you're weird... But in a good way. Ang talino mo, galing magsulat, pero ang bait mo pa rin..."
Well...that was so damn unexpected. And the fact that *I* looked up to *them* was just...ironic. So there I was, a tall girl with pigtails sinking into her chair, surrounded by 5 other people who I admired...and they were admiring me.
At some point, they asked me what my inspiration was. Nervously, I answered: "Ah, may kaibigan akong lalake...di-nump siya ng love niya...ehehehe..." They asked how I could have possibly took his emotions in and made them into writing. Well...I didn't lie... I told them I had this weird thing of sensing other peoples' strong emotions. Of course, they didn't believe me, they just thought it was some kind of trick.
But for the sake of fun, I held one of their hands. I was able to pick up something...but just like before, I could only sense the magnitude and type of emotion, not the exact situation. I made a guess and...was right.
They stared blankly at me.
"Empath ka nga talaga..."
But of course, I didn't use it for popularity, or just to get some attention. Believe me, I didn't want it. I just wanted to use this...gift God gave me for helping others. And so I tried. I gave her the best advice I could give. And she was somehow enlightened.
...
And oh, here were some things that happened today...that really sent us laughing our heads off...
CLE period:
gel: *tries to draw a dove on the blackboard*
us: *stifles laughter*
marge: *cackles* "Ano ba yan, Gel! Ang taba naman ng dove mo! Parang buntis!" *laughs*
us: *rofl*
gel: "Mukhang ngang sisiw, eh!"
us: *manic laughter*
marge: "Parang busog na busog!" *laughs*
us: *falls off our chairs*
Geometry period:
sir Mitra: *writes at the edge of the formula-filled blackboard* *tries to fit the equation in the small space left*
starlyn: *stands up, erases the blackboard for him*
us: "Yessssss...ang bait ni Starlyn!" *laughs*
sir Mitra: *looks at her* "Why, THANK YOU iStarlyn!" *looks at us* "See dat? She is very sensitive to the needs of Sir Mitra, noh?"
class: *roars with laughter*
me: *eyes widen* *points a finger at them* "That...THAT SOUNDED SO VERY WRONG!!!" *falls off chair*
Needless to say, I went home twirling my pigtails and grinning like an idiot.
Icequeen out.
