I ignored his comment, "I missed the real you. Hindi ko to gusto!" I yelled in frustration.He chuckled, there was something dark and evil to it, "Oh, you don't like this? So ngayon may pake kana?""What?""If you want it that way, then you should have said it sooner." He smirked evilly, walking past me while ruffling and messing my hair as though I was a dog.So we really changed...Me, covering my emotions and building a facade, him pretending. Nevermind that. At least we learned."Wait!" Parang may mali..parang hinukay ko lang ang sarili kong libingsn, and reached now to the inner core, enough to reach the hell."C'mon. You're taking too long, stupid." Sabi nya, looking scowling at me. I tried to keep up with his pace but failed. Seeing me, he scoffed at me, judging me with his now restored dark gaze, and reached out around my neck to strangle my neck. I choked and slammed his hand away but his grip around me was hard so I didn't have a choice but to choke to death as we walked thr
"Goodmorning." Luke's voice said, his face looming on me as a wide grin spread across his face. Beside him were Emma and Hannah, with Leroy and Dax joining them. All of their faces circled around me. Hmm, the squad's all here?What a strange dream.Snuggling deeper in the sheets, I groaned and outstretched my hands and legs across my bed.Kiliti. Nararamdaman kong may kumikili sa akin. I pushed the sheets with all my leg's might at sinipa ito pababa. Another hand came tickling me again, this time I kicked it harder.The next thing that happened took me by surprise. Grabbing my feet, a hand-pulled it, and jerked it away to make it sound."Ah!" Sigaw ko, shooting up straight in reflex, and punching the person who did it. I mumbled a curse."Rise and shine," Leroy said in a singsong tone, drawing the curtains up. I squinted as bright light met my eyes. When I had time to adjust, I saw Emma's face, nakaupo sa tabi ko."We're going to be late, missy," nakangisi sya sakin.Silence, looking
With sullen faces, as though disappointed in something, they nodded their heads no simultaneously. "Unfortunately, nope, seryoso kami Snow""Time is running." Hannah raised her watch, "Now 19 minutes and thirty seconds." Sabi nya, I looked at her dumbfoundedly. She smirked, "Twenty-nine seconds, Twenty-eight seconds, Twenty-seven se-""You're kidding!" I jumped from my bed. "All of you, leave now! Kailangan kong magbihis!"They laughed at my reaction, got their bags from the door, and opened it. One by one they left. "Pack things good for four days or so...you never know, the Samal has a lot of beaches and stuff maybe we'll-""Yeah right. Alis na!"The fools even bothered to wave at me. "Good luck!"Emma turned one last time to flash me an evil smirk, "Iiwan ka namin if you don't make it in time." Sabi nya in a low voice as she flashed a naughty wink at me.Geez. Thanks for the pressure guys.Once they were finally completely left, I didn't waste a minute as I raced to the bathroom an
Natigilan ako. Not because of the threat, but because of his voice...Wait a minute, all this time it's..."Eion?" tanong ko."What? What do you want from me?" Sabi nya. Turning around, he looked at me and then back to close his eyes, "Oh, it's you." He brushed me aside.I choked.It's Eion! He's not even surprised at my appearance!Then as though he realized something, he looked at me again. And I expected him to exclaim like, "Why are you here?" How?"Instead, tinanong nya, "Where’s my bag?” I closed my still opened mouth, "I placed it on the compartment on top of us. Besides, it’s a person's seat! That thing doesn't pay." I didn't even pay a single cent for the tickets but let's just pretend okay?"So?"My eyebrows knitted, "So? So what? I have to move that for me to sit. The woman who was even assigned to sit here dragged me in, and switched places with me, great."Hindi sya nakikinig, instead, he stared at my drawings of flowers and the sun. I quickly closed it, "And I'm drawing
I looked up at him at ngumiti ng mariin. "Sorry...I was trying to hear what you are listening to, just being curious about me... as always, nothing to fear." I waved off like it's no big deal.I minded my own business and continued on drawing, not bothering to destroy the mood.From the corner of my eye, I see him removing one of his earphones on the right, wiping it, and placing it on my ear. Nasorpresa ako at may naramdamang kuryento as his hands accidentally brushed against my ears. I glanced at him, my small smile now turning into a wide grin.“Something about you nowThat I can't quite figure outEverything she does is beautifulEverything she does is rightCause there's you and me and all of the people with nothing to doNothing to loseAnd there's you and me and all of the peopleAnd I don't know whyI can't keep my eyes off of you and me.”I didn't dare move from my place habang nakasandig sa bintana, staring at the sky into emptiness as the song came and dug emotions deep in
I scowled, huffing. "You evil robot!" I whisper yelled, glaring at him. "Don't take me for a fool! I know what you are doing! I'm gonna google it! Hintay kalang!""Miss?" A flight attendant came in sight, pinupuntahan kami. Her eyes looked around and back to me, "I'm sorry but could you please keep it down? I'm afraid other passengers are being disturbed. Thank you so much." She flashed me a small smile at naglakad na rin palayo. I threw daggers at the flight attendant's retreating figure, fuming in anger. Argh! They always came in the 'unexpected' time to ruin my mood again! Just like earlier, that other flight attendant who forced me to sit, and now her. Can't they understand and blame the one who is really at fault? Why am I always the one who looks like it's my fault?I scoffed, umiling, and glared at the seat in front of me, burning holes in it. I grabbed my phone in anger from my backpack, almost breaking it on the way, opened it, and only to see the battery was low, with it h
"He? Who's that you’re referring to?" Emma piped in."My dad." Eion pressed. "Now that you see me fine, you can leave now. Ignore that old man.""Pero pumunta kami dito hindi lang para sayo, we came here to have fun also.""Yeah, cmon, what's done is done. You just have to go with the flow.""As they said, enjoy the moment, this won't last long."They said in unison. Tumahimik kang ako, not having enough energy to join in and argue.Nang dumating na ang pagkain, we ate our hearts out until we were full and discussed some matters. "Thank you for the food Eion! You're the best!" Hannah exclaimed.Finally! I flashed Eion a thumbs up, burping so loud. "Oops, excuse me." I smiled sheepishly. Good, this we are the only customer here, especially since it's already nine in the evening.Since Eion already knew our secret and the squad finally thought that it's better to let the truth out, it's fine to discuss some matters. “So anong plano nyo?" Tanong ni Emma, looking at each and every one of
Lahat kami ay tumingin sa isa’t isa, sympathy on our faces. Nakatayo lang kami, letting silence surround us."Sorry sir, Eion is just...being Eion..." There was more to it just by Luke's tone of voice.Eion's dad shook his head again slightly, his actions limited as needles and pointy things were stuck in his arm. "I'm used to it. He's my son after all. He really does hate me...I just wanted to see his face, it was the main reason why I ordered him here...."Tumingin ako sa sahig. The silence surrounding us was not entirely deafening as there was the constant sound of the machine, showing Eion's dad's heartbeat. But it was an empty silence. Just empty."Well, I gotta go and pee haha," Leroy suddenly spoke up, breaking it. Naglakad na sya at binuksan ang pinto ng biglang natigilan. "Look...who we got here," Leroy said. His eyes widened as big as saucers, and he swallowed down."Who was it?" Emma piped in, curious about who was the person at the doorway. He pushed Leroy aside who was b
