It's been days since their game so back to normal na uli kami.

9 am pa ang class ko and it's already 7:23 am and I decided to go to the library kasi may quiz kami ngayon. I did my morning routine and I just wear my grey sweater and my adidas leggings then I paired it with my white tom tom's slip on.

Kasabay ko si Kobe ngayon siya kasi ang nagdrive at may klase din kasi siya ng 8. Dumaan muna kami ng starbucks para bumili ng drinks at dumiretso na kami sa school.

Habang naglalakad ako ay nakasabay ko si Javi at Ricci na parang papunta din sa library.

"Wala kang class Thalia?" Javi asked.

"I have, pero mamaya pang 9"

"Ang aga mo naman"sabi naman ni Ricci.

"Sumabay na kasi ako ki Kobe since umuulan ulan din tas ayoko pang mag commute plus may quiz kami mamaya kaya sa library muna ako. Kayo wala kayong class?"

"Meron pero mamaya pa yun kaya tutulog muna kami nito sa library"sabi ni Javi.

"Ayon naman pala naging tulugan na yung library"sabi ko naman kaya natawa sila.

Nandito na kami sa loob at pumwesto kami sa mga beanie bags. Habang ako nag ririview sila ay natutulog kaya naisipan ko na picturan sila para may maisend sa gc.

Di wag kang pumasok

Yoko nga bi ka

nagbago na ako noh

Seen by you and 4 others.

Paalis na ako kasi magtatime na pero tulog parin tong dalawa.

"Javi, Ricciii wake up I need to go na it's almost time na" I said as I wake them up

"What time is it na ba?"Javi asked

"Quarter to 9"

"Ahh kailangan na nga talaga naming gumising"sabi ni Javi na mukhang antok pa pero kailangan na nilang gumising kaya hinatid muna nila ako sa room ko bago sila pumunta sa room nila.

Hindi na masyadong masama ang tingin nila saakin unlike nung hindi pa nagsasalita si Kobe. Marami narin naman gustong makipag kaibigan saakin pero wala eh pag may trust issue ka ang hirap tyaka I know naman na sila Kobe lang naman ang habol nila.

After 10 minutes ay dumating na yung prof namin at nagsimula na kaming magquiz. Nadalian lang ako kasi nagreview ako kanina. Makalipas ang ilang oras ay ipinasa na namin yung mga papel namin.

"Okay class I'll announce your result today. I'm not happy with it but at least merong isa sainyo ang naka perfect at lahat sainyo ay naka 30 pababa out of 85 items."bigla akong kinabahan kasi humahabol pa ako sakanila tapos baka mababa pa yung score ko.

"Miss Paras got perfect!"biglang sabi naman ni sir. Ngumiti lang ako at nagpalakpakan naman sila.

Pagkatapos noon ay lunch na kaya dumiretso na ako sa table namin sa cafeteria at inantay sila pero mayamaya din ay dumating na sila.

"Hey, we heard your the only one who got perfect on your class kanina" Kobe said.

"Yah I was shocked about it nga kasi ang kala ko isa ako sa mga naka thirty something out of 85 kanina"

"Hala ang baba naman nun, grabe yun makahila ng grades ah"natawa ako sa reaction ni kuya Juan.

"Do you know that Nathalia is one of the best students at their school when she's in cali"sabi naman ni Kobe.

"Kobee!"inis kong saway sakanya.

"What I'm just telling it to them anong masama doon?"

"Wala naman pero nakakahiya kaya"sabi ko naman

They all just chuckled and we decided to eat lunch first before we head to the gym since halfday kami ngayon kasi may biglaang meeting ang mga teachers kaya napaaga naman ang training nila.

Habang naghihintay akong matapos ang training nila ay nakaupo ako dito malapit sa mga gamit nila.

In the middle of their training may pumasok na limang babae at lumapit sila sa akin.

"Hi ate, ikaw po si Nathalia diba?"tanong nung naka grey na collar shirt at pants na blue.

"Ahh yes. Why?"

"Kung okay lang po sana pwede po ba namin kayong mainterview para lang po sa pt namin? Okay lang naman po kung hindi maiintindihan po namin." Sabi naman nung isang kasama niya na may pagkasingkit na morena tapos ang ganda ng curl ng buhok niya ang natural.

"Ahh what kind of interview ba yan?"

"Since po nalaman po ng lahat yung about sa naranasan niyo pong pang bubully sa california. Gusto lang po sana namin na maging aware ang mga tao sa mga epekto nito sa kagaya niyo pong nakaranas nito" explain niya.

"Okay magpapa-interview ako" when I said that you can see to their faces that their happy and I'm happy also cause I can help them with their PT's.

"Okay let's start, Hi guys good day to all of you. As you all can see I'm with Nathalia Paras, the cousin of one of the best and well known basketball player here in UP Diliman." As she said, she is so good at speaking. She has a potential at reporting tho. The whole time that she's talking I'm just smiling at the camera.

"Ate Nathalia, can you or would you tell us about what you've been through those days when you're being bullied by your schoolmates?"

"Uhm, hi everyone. I was born in california and I grew up there. I thought everything is fine till my senses came. Back when I was a 5 years old in my grade school. No one's been my friend. Anyone of them doesn't even try to come near me. Then when I was in grade 3 they started bullying me. They're always saying that I don't belong with them since I have a morena skin tone and dark hair. I'd cried every night. My parents is not always around me and they doesn't even know that I was being bullied" I took a deep breath and smiled again.

"But Kobe was the one who is there for me always. His presence helps me to not think that I'm alone even at our own house. Then when I was in high school nothings new. I ate alone. I'm studying on my own. I've never been to a party. My prom was like nothing, it's not special for me since I'm like nobody to everyone there in california even when I'm in my first year college."as I said again.

"Why did you choose to study here instead of being in california since they have grate education there?" She asked me again.

"Well because of bullying, I was diagnosed to a extreme depression. When I'm out I'm scared to everyone. Kobe and Brent Paraiso was the only person that I can talk to. So they convince me to study here instead in California at least I have someone to talk to"

"How about your parents? Where are they when those times?" She curiously asked.

"To be honest, I'm not bragging okay. We have so many companies all over the world so they can't have time with me since they need to monitor our companies. So to tell you and to every parents that will watch this, your time is very special to us or to your children. Know what have been their doing every day. Make sure that you'll always be there to protect and support them. They need it, even though they have their own decisions cause they still need your guidance. And lastly never let them feel that their alone when life was tough. Cause based on my experience I've never feel that when I needed it the most, well even though I needed it I never felt it but I'm very thankful to the Rivero Family cause they're the one who makes me experienced that feeling."

"Yah I agree with you our parents should be the one who we can lean on to when we're about to give up on things that we almost can't find the end of it. So to our last question, when you experienced bullying here what did you do or how did you faced it?" She asked.

"To tell you honestly, I thought that being here is a very good decision that I make. The first three days of me being here is good cause when I go to the mall or when I roam around I can see people smiling at me but when I entered this school for the second time and for the first day of my class I was so scared. People looks at me as if did something wrong to them but I refused to think of it because my depression might trigger again. Then that scenario came as they're throwing eggs and flour at me, all I can do is to cry because I don't have the strength to stopped them and I have no one. When I got home I cried. I came to a decision that I will not having a conversation to any of the upmbt except kobe. Me and Kobe fought that time cause I didn't tell him about it until they saw it on social media. They immediately went home. He was angry at me, very angry. Then all I know that being in California and here is just the same but I hope it change cause no one deserves to be bullied. Not everyone have the guts to fight for their own. Not everyone is strong enough to stand toughly. And Nobody should be bullied"as I answered her their face turn into a 'wow'

" I'd never expect to hear it from you, cause when you smile it's like you're not experiencing stuff like that. Well, to sum it all up to you guys. No matter what happens nobody should be bullied. So to those bullies out there wake up and change cause it's not helping you to be successful! Thank you ate Nathalia for being here and it means a lot to us. Bye guys I hope you learned something."

Pagkatapos nung interview ay nagpasalamat sila ng paulit ulit kaya sabi ko mag papicture sila kila Kobe at ako ng bahala.

After nun ay tapos na rin yung training nila. Kumain kami sa labas kasi guton na gutom na kami at pagod na rin para magluto pa sa bahay.

Natulog lang kami pagkauwi namin at mabuti na kang sabado bukas and I have an appointment.
