Famous Last Words
"So you like her na noh?"Someone dropped the question again...
And things were, well, obviously getting out of hand...
WARNING! MATH CONTENT:
The rate with which the number of people who are asking that question is expressed by the equation, Y = Yo * e ^ (k*t)...
Suddenly, the population of the people who teased me grew from just one guy, to well into a quarter of the class... And while the teasing was only reserved to "us guys" before, the person who dropped the bomb earlier today in laboratory class was a she... And that was - I'm afraid - bad news..
Prying eyes have made it a lot tougher to breathe... It was as though people have simply made it a habit- if not a mission- to throw furtive glances once every so often to catch us doing what are really trivial things, and blow them out of proportions... How they interpret those things and turn them into some sort of fairy tale for their amusement (read- inakbayan ko DAW siya kanina) is unbelievably mind boggling...
Not that I'm really that concerned... The things is, none of that is really true... I don't like her, at least, not in the way that they think I like her, and that was that... I'd rather be tied naked to an anthill, basted with honey and drizzled with sugar syrup than act their fantasies...
But the fact was, like all good rumors, that teeny lie was spreading like the proverbial wildfire... And that made it bad...
It's just getting really crazy to put it bluntly... People who have been otherwise oblivious of the rumors are now being misled into thinking the way they want them to think... The thought that one of my closest friend has even asked me whether there was even a shred of truth to that makes me shudder... Oh, the paradox of it all...
And the paradox continues...
