Chapter 6
    Major boy problems
    “THAT STUPID BOY NAMED CAL! OH HOW I pag-ibig HIM! BUT WHY WON’T HE LOOK AT ME?!”
    “TALIA,” I yell, hitting her with my pillow. “Shut up!”
    Talia glared at me. “I’M CALM!”
    I raised my eyebrow, and Talia sighed. “Fine! I’m not!-”
    “Inside voices Talia,” I remind her.
    Talia groans. “Ugh, I keep on forgetting, each time I look back to the way I acted, I was a freak!”
    “Yep,” I reply and Talia glares a me.
    “Anyway, Cal has not been paying attention to me, and I asked him if he wanted to hang out and he told me we was busy, but his face book page says he’s FREE!”
    “Talia! Please, lower your voice!” I sigh. “Maybe you gotta try a little harder, but not to hard, don’t act like a stalker, act like a potential girlfriend.”
    Right now we were in my room, I was sitting on my bed, pagbaba a magazine when Talia came in an started spilling about her problems. I must say, it’s still weird to think of her as a remotely normal person, but I don’t miss her loud screams when she talked, I like it quiet. Talia told me when she was yelling in class, the teacher told her to use her inside voice, so now when Talia starts to yell us gal’s just say inside voice and she returns to…well not normal, that would be asking much.
    “I am pagganap perfect!” Talia whines.
    “Sure you are…” I mutter, before looking up at her. “What do you do when you see him?”
    “Talk, I’ve been trying to score a upuan sa pamamagitan ng him, but the other contestants get in my way.”
    I sigh. “Oh trust me, I remember the tagahanga clubs.”
    How could I not? When I was in the stupidity phase (when I liked Cal) his stupid tagahanga club always tried to stone me alive. There creepy and super scary. Rumors spread that some room in the school is room dedicated to him, and one araw the tagahanga club will drug him or something and I don’t know, give him a pag-ibig potion. I’m glad that’s behind me.
    “You have nothing to worry about Tally, your way madami freakier and crazier than those girl’s.”
    Talia glares at me while I laugh, “oh come on, Tal, they should be scared of you, your way madami dedicated!”
    Talia shrugs. “And I thought Meredith was crazy.”
    I shake my head. “That’s school for you.”
    “Well, tomorrow will be worse.”
    I gritted my teeth. “Gym.”

    Yes, the susunod araw I looked at the same intimidating doors once again, and walked quickly to the locker rooms. Beth was beaming at me as I walked in, already changed into the gym outfit.
    “Ready for another awesome taon in gym!” She grinned.
    I glowered at her. “Now I know why I enjoyed sharing gym with Sage.”
    Beth stuck out her tongue just as Ali, Sage, Talia, Scotty, and Honey entered.
    Beth’s grinned widened. “And we all share gym! Eeep!”
    Ali rolled her eyes. “Just means your going to hear madami of my complaining.”
    Beth shrugged. “Whatever, I’m immune to your annoying drone, see you soon!”
    I groaned as she exited, knowing that there was no way to avoid this class that didn’t involve getting caught, I quickly changed and followed the direction she went.
    I smiled at Grey and Beth, who were sitting susunod to the closed bleachers, there was this certain spot where we’d be sitting in alphabetical order, but class hasn’t started so we shouldn’t need to worry.
    “Morning pag-ibig birds,” I say, flashing them a grin.
    Beth smiled. “Now that’s the enthusiasm I wanna see, in the same period and class in gym, awesome!”
    Grey laughed. “I’m going to enjoy watching you poor things suffer.”
    I glare at him. “Hey! I’m sorry, but gym and I, yeah we’ve been having problems since he was cheating on me with lunch, I need to have the full lunch time, not half.”
    Grey gave me a look. “Pammy, you only go a few minutos late to lunch due to the distance.”
    “Yeah! But, I need my full fix of food, not a few minutos deducted from it when I could waste madami time savoring it!”
    Beth rolled her eyes, as Grey laughed at me, ruffling my hair. Soon enough, Talia came rushing towards us, her face red.
    “Cal’s in this class,” she whispered loudly.
    Grey nodded. “Yeah, I thought you knew, same period, same class. Your going to have to put up with him.”
    Beth groaned. “I hate that creep, he always gives me these weird looks, I think he’s stalking me.”
    Talia glared behind me, where I assumed Cal was. “Don’t worry Beth bear, soon he’ll have a new obsession.”
    Grey glared past me too. “Make it quick, please. I don’t like the way he’s been pagganap around my girlfriend.”
    “Galfriend!” I yell, “not girl, gal! Yeesh, get it right.”
    Grey lightly pushed me, and Beth gave him a quick peck on his cheek, before getting up and sitting on her ‘assigned seat’ (which is basically the stone cold floor with a number on it) and we all followed.
    YAY! A free bee. Since it’s still so early in school our gym teachers allowed us to play basketball, the gal’s got a free basket and Grey joined us. But then Cal joined us, and then Chad Holder joined us, things went fro a turn for the worse.
    Ali glared at Chad furiously, and Sage couldn’t stop looking at his faded red mark on his face, which probably wasn’t helping. Scotty managed us to keep sane for a little bit, distracting us and saying walang tiyak na layunin things to break some of the tension.
    Honey was to busy looking at every guy on the court, I could see her stalker eyes were on, and I knew she would be no help until something actually happened.
    Beth growled frustratingly when she missed another shot, and I patted her shoulder. “It’s okay Bubs.”
    Beth glared at the basket. “But last taon I could make an easy shot, what happened?!”
    “You had some…distractions,” Cal replied, glancing at grey quickly. “Here let me help.”
    Beth looked uncomfortable when he came behind her to ipakita her how to throw the ball, but before he even sinabi a word Grey was susunod to them.
    Grey lightly pushed Cal away from Beth. “Thanks man, but I think I can teach my own gal to throw a ball.”
    Cal glared at the two as Grey came up behind Beth to put his arms around her, and together they threw the ball. Beth squealed as it got in and turned to Grey, who gave her a halik on the lips.
    “CAL! Teach me!” Talia yelled, waving the ball in her hands.
    Cal shrugged, “perhaps the professional Grey should help.”
    Oh no, Lord help us all. I turned to the other train wreck, hoping to see something more…happier, that wasn’t the case.
    “I thought you liked me! You lied! You’re a jerk! Now shut up! And give me that BALL!” Ali yelled, Chad shook his head, holding the ball high up.
    “Not until we talk,”
    “No!”
    “Yes!”
    “She’s my girlfriend, not yours. Now go help Talia!” Grey yelled, glaring at Cal.
    “Beth needs my help,” Cal replied.
    Beth raises her hand. “Actually I’m good, so…”
    “Help me!” Talia yelled.
    I groaned. “We are going to get into so much trouble, if I don’t think of something fast.”
    Come on, think. Sighing I grab the basketbol out of Chad’s hands, ignoring his protest, I aim and throw it at Cal’s head (I could’ve picked the other’s, but no). Bingo.
    “Hey!” Cal glared at me. “What was that for?”
    “For you all to shut up before we got into trouble, I mean seriously? Were in gym, if you wanna pick up a fight do it after school, because I’m not going to get into trouble for your petty little fights.” I say. “Now, Cal, why don’t you just leave poor Beth alone with her BOYFRIEND, did I say boyfriend? And go help poor Talia, instead of pickign up a fight with Grey.”
    “And Grey, don’t let him get to you, just ignore him.” I turn to Chad. “And you, see I don’t know what’s going on with you and my gal, but you better have a good reason for messing with her, because if I find out your playing, I’m going to get you.”
    “Now…let’s play ball.” I announce, scoring perfectly.
