CHAPTER 6.1
"Triah? God. Triah. Jen. Triah woke up. Jen." Karmi's voice echoed throughout the room. I do not remember what happened earlier.
"What h-happened?" I first asked Karmi, when Jen suddenly joined me.
"Oh my god. Why were you crying so much earlier? That's why you’ve fainted. You're still heavy." Jen's worriedly preaching me.
"What are you doing Jen? Our friend just woke up. You are preaching," Karmi begged her.
I was just listening to their conversation when I noticed I was not in my condo.
"Where am I?" I still don’t have their attention.
"You were in the hospital Triah, we were worried about you earlier. Because you cried so much. You fainted, we did not know would do to you earlier." Jen replied.
"W-who helped you lift me up?" I knew it was impossible for them to carry me out of the condo. Or maybe just let the medic in.
"Of course V-" Jen scolded her.
"The medic made you ride in a wheelchair. You know, we're both skinny." there was a streak of forced smiles on the lips of the two of them. It looks like something is hiding.
"Really?"
"Y-Yeah." Both interchangeably nodded.
"Why are you stuttering?"
"W-Were not." Karmi rebuked.
"Ignore it Karmi. Triah, the important thing is that you are awaken-" turning our heads to where the voice came from.
"Jen, Karmi, this is the result of Miss Mondejaro's test earlier in the laboratory. Please sign this form." the voice of a man was too familiar to me.
That the voice was really familiar to me. Wait, I was looking at the place where the doctor was but I could not see because these two were blocking my eyesight.
The two went ahead to get what they signed. They start flirting.
"O-Okay Doc, l-let m-me sign that" Karmi whispered. Jen took the paper.
"Hey Karmi. I’m sorry doc, my friend is just crazy, let me have that." Jen signed the paper and then handed it back to the doctor.
"This is it Doc, I'm sorry to my friend, she acts like that when she’s talking. And got some small mental problem." She chuckled while Karmi’s face can’t be drawn.
"What the hell Jen." Karmi rebuked what Jen was saying about her.
I laughed at the two women in front of me who turned their backs.
"Can you two, stop. It's as if you didn’t see a handsome doctor, you're obviously flirting." I joked with them.
"Wow, you're seriously Triah. Are you blind now? You did not see that this man is handsome as you thought?" Karmi licked her lips at the Doctor's behavior. The two gave way because the doctor approached me.
"Long time no see Miss Mondejaro," he said with his hand offer some handshake.
I just slapped it.
"Crazy. The formality is too much." we can't stop laughing out loud. It's only now that we really met it since I transferred to another school.
"How will you like to be asked, how are you? Will I need to punch you?" he joked.
"If you can." I am proud of.
“You really trust your fats huh, not afraid to get in trouble." and he let out a loud laughed.
"Mike, take it slowly, it's like you're not a doctor, the way you laughed."
"I'm not really a doctor here Triah, just an intern."
"Wow, you're kidding, did you chose that medicine course? You were even more stupid before when we have our reports. Maybe you just used your good looking face to be your luck. Don't be like that."
And we laughed again when we heard loud whispers.
"Ahem. Karmi, we don't seem needed here anymore, what do you think?"
"Yes Jen, someone has already won, let's just eat. Maybe when we gain weight someone will also come to us. As handsome as him."
"Hey silly! What won? For your information. This doctor in front of you was just my classmate way back high school." I turned to Mike.
"Mike, it's Jen and Karmi. They bullied me before." I teasingly joked them.
"Seriously? Hey. We've changed. Mike right? Don't believe that tabatchoy. Triah just brainwashed you. Isn't that Karmi?" asking for the consent of a friend.
"I don't know," blankly answered. Jen slightly slapped Karmi’s temple.
"You know what Karmi? I really don't know if your brain is okay or if you unscrew some piece in your head. Let's go. Let's leave Doc and Triah first." Jen commanded Karmi.
I just laughed at the two.
"I'm happy that you still have friends with you. I thought you really closed your heart to the people who want to be close to you." I moved a bit to give some space in my bed so that Mike can sit beside me.
"What do you think of me? Hard to find some friends? They bullied me before but it wasn’t moving my fear, I do not care about them. And one more thing, it is as if being bullied by them wasn’t reach half of my experience in my life." I made a long statement to him.
"Of course, By the way, I heard, you're an actress. How?" there was astonishment on his face. I slapped him on the arm.
"What do you think of me? Don't know how to act? For your information. I'm good at acting so I'm accepted in the acting industry. And hello. I'm not just a fat artist in the whole industry. Gosh!" amused how he used to think of me.
"Just a joke. You’re too serious." He looked at his watch.
"It's time for my relief Triah, I still want to talk to you but I still have a walk later. Oops, wait. Do you have a cellphone? Maybe I can ask for your number so that when I'm not busy I can text you to meet. Is it fine?" said Mike.
"Oh go ahead, wait. Hand me your phone. I will save my digits." he gave me his cellphone so I also gave him my number by typing it in his contacts.
When I finished typing, someone suddenly called.
Bro Esra calling...
I did not tell that I saw the caller's name and then when Mike had his phone in his hand he looked at me first before he answered the call.
"Oh?" I act like I didn’t notice the caller on the screen.
"All right Triah, let me just answer the call of... my brother. I have to go," his voice had a hint of concern as he left.
CHAPTER 6.2When Mike left my room, I suddenly thought, a lot has really happened in my life. In my life I have been with Esra under one roof for three years. After that, I still could not come home again. But I graduated from high school. And that's where I met Jen and Karmi.FLASHBACK...
CHAPTER 7.1The days fly so fast, and it's Monday. It means this is going to be my first day in my new school. And how I wish my first day would be okay. I'm now already done and packed. I'm just waiting for someone to be with me to guide me to SNHS.
CHAPTER 7.2We are going to enter this public school like my old school, just private. But here I can also say that the entrance is clean and organized because there is a security guard to open for each student."How fat.”"Yeah wait, why is she with Ikee? How she related to him?"
CHAPTER 8.1There are curious students who were looking at us fighting, between me and this girl whom I don’t know the name. And I couldn’t tell if what creature is she. It seems like she belongs to a monkey’s family. Her eyes were round, which will almost pop out. You can add the nose that as if being shy to all who could see it, like not be able to come out of the cave bowing to everyone, and almost you can’t see the holes in it. Gets that? If not… fine! She has a flat nose!I glared at her that no matter how I want to achieve big eyes just to stare at her, but still, I couldn't make it.
CHAPTER 8.2Especially now that I remember what mommy and Trisha were saying to me before they kicked me out of the house. It's like the weight of feeling that people think of me in that way. What will I do? Just oppressing so as not to aggravate? Will I just lose myself just to say I'm pity? Will I just be humble myself just to say I am a good student and child?I do not want that. Because the truth is, when you are kind, everyone will bully you. When the
CHAPTER 9.1Since Krissa was already friends with me, she offered me earlier that it would be better if we sat next to each other. And since we are in the first row, in short, we seated at the end of the column chairs occupied by Krissa, because she’s tall and I am fat. So I also agreed with her to swap chairs with a student next to her before. Fortunately, the classmate did not appeal."There! The chair is fit for you!" Krissa teased me with lively applause.
"Ma'am, you are wrong. I just want to say that I can't walk there because there are two women blocking the way. I can't get in." Jen and Karmi glared at me. But it was too late because ma’am immediately peeked at them. On Mrs. Dominggo, they all had the eyes of fellow students."Miss Velasco and Miss Resalda! What are you doing there on the floor? Don't you have a chair?"They slowly stood up and turned their backs on the old woman and they make us glaze over.
Chapter 10.1"Why are you here?" I asked him first when we were in the hallway of this school. "Going to eat?" he replied weakly still following me.I turned to him because of his answer.
