Lagi Kapihan

July 29, 1997

Tuesday

"All Sheena saw was red."

---

Golden Arrow Academy was bustling. Busy bees. For school work? Maybe. But most of it was them being busy with gossip because on July 12th, something happened in Lagi Kapihan and absolutely no one expected Sheena Catacutan to beast out like that;

"I heard she pushed one of the Minsala Academy boys down to the ground and scratched their faces off..."

"No! Bianca and her friend, Jaz from Minsala told me that Sheena broke Donny's nose by pummeling the kid."

"Donny? As in, Minsala's wonderboy? As in, Minsala Minotaur's basketball captain? That Donny Pangilinan?"

"Who else?"

"I thought it was Gelo? The Minotaur's cheer member?"

"Then, I heard Sheena had pulled Andrea Brilliante's hair, almost giving her a bald spot in the process."

"That's overboard! She did not have to do that. She's such a papansin. An epal!"

"Oh God, there she is..."

"What a bad ass..."

"I mean if I were Sheena, I would've done that too."

"Poor Shee... I thought her and Nate would be together forever!"

"Sure... But she didn't have to do all of those things."

"They could've settled the misunderstanding with civility."

"I say, she just chased whatever popularity she had because Nate had broken up with her so she made a scene so everyone would side with her."

"But Nate had a new girlfriend a day after? Something is up with that."

Ugh!

So...

Overdramatic.

She threw a book.

So what?

No one died.

No one was injured.

She threw a book in a public area.

Embarrassing, sure, but those guys...

The nerve! The cheek!

She threw a book to let them know how stupid it was to gossip about someone who was clearly there!
If they were to gossip and backstab about someone, at least don't make it obvious and don't scream it out loud for everyone to hear.

She didn't hit anyone with it.

Sheena just made sure she gave a piece of her mind.

That's all.

With an...

Embarrassing amount of crying and snot.
