Race's POV
Sabi ko na nga ba, e! This isn't a good idea. Maiinis lang ako sa mga nakikita ko. I hate it that they are so comfortable with each other. Nakakainiggit!
Zena even laughing with Lucas some corny jokes. I just couldn't help but to let my brows furrowed.
"Ano, Race? Tatahimik ka na lang ba diyan?"
Napatingin agad ako kay Zena na siyang nagsalita.
"Hindi kami manghuhula para hulaan kung saan nakatira ang kaibigan mo." Dagdag niya pa. She was looking sternly at me through the rear view mirror.
I just told them the location. Bakit 'pag dating sa akin masungit si Zena tapos kay Lucas napakabait niya? It's not fair!
To be honest, nilalamon na ko ng matinding selos sa backseat. Hindi ko
Race's POVNagdiretso ako sa trabaho ko pagkagaling sa orphanage. Nagulat pa si Albert nang makita ako."Akala ko resign ka na, bro." Sabi niya. "May pumalit na sa 'yong bago." Dagdag niya pa sabay nguso sa likuran ko. Pagtingin ko, may isang lalaki na nagpupunas ng mesa sa hindi kalayuan. Bagong empleyado.Bakit bigla nalang ako tinanggal sa trabaho ko?Nagtungo ako sa office at hinanap ang manager namin. He was sitting pretty on his shivel chair."Oh, Mr. Clemente? Kamusta ka? Anong kailangan mo?" He asked.Nagngitngit agad ako sa galit. Nawalan ako ng sasabihin. Parang gusto ko siyang sapakin dahil sa ginawa niya. Tila ba isang apoy na unti-unting naglalagablab ang pagkapoot ko sa siraulong tao na kaharap ko ngayon. He knew my condition! He knew what I am suffering through then in just one snap, he would
Race's POVI am in between Lucas and Zena in our English class. Well, I kinda feel awkward 'bout what happened on saturday. Nahihiya lang siguro ako na lumapit kay Zena matapos akong maging dahilan nang pag-iyak niya."Since the first semester is about to end, I am giving you the last project in my subject." Nakangiting sambit ni Mr. Del fueno.Nag-umpisang mag-ingay ang mga kaklase namin. Kaming tatlo? Ito, nalunok ang dila."Group yourself and make a video presentation about love. Whatever love it is. Love for a friend, for parents, for pet, things etcetera. And here's the most interesting part," he trailed off and smiled widely. Mas lalong umingay ang buong
Race's POVDays have passed. I'm always seeing students filming for the last project Mr. Del Fueno assigned for us.Naglalakad ako sa hallway nang makita ko si Lucas na nakaupo sa isang bench 'di kalayuan sa kinatatayuan ko.I was about to approach him when I saw Zena. She was holding sandwiches and gave one to Lucas.Makikigulo pa ba ako sa kanila? They seem to enjoy each other's company. Who am I to interfere?I turned my back and walked away while having the heaviness in my chest."You're jealous, aren't you?"
Race's POVNagpa-print out ako kay Enzo ng ilang kopya ng resume. I am running out of time. I should immediately find a job or else I will lose a place to stay. Ayoko namang magmukhang basang sisiw. That's shit!I wore a plain shirt and maong pants. Nilagay ko rin sa isang folder 'yong mga resume para hindi malukot.After checking myself in front of the mirror, I went out of my apartment. Mamaya pa namang ten ang pasok ko kaya may oras pa ko para dumaan sa mga fast food at magpasa ng resume.Nahinto pa ko saglit sa harapan ng apartment ni Zena. She was probably at school, attending her other class.I continued walking. Nahinto na naman ako nang makasalubong si Trish. She smiled upon seeing me."Hey!" She said as she pulled the earplugs from both of her ears. She was in her exercise attire that real
Race's POV"Can you just sit here and be calm? I am the one getting dizzy of what you're doing, Race." Trish spoked as she was sitting down the sofa.Nandito kami sa apartment niya. The place was good, neat and huge. Wala nga lang masiyadong gamit.I heaved a sigh. Naiinis na naman ako.Gabi na at wala pa rin si Zena. Sobrang nag-aalala na ako sa kanya. She's not even answering my phone calls. Nakakailang tawag na ko sa kanya pero wala pa rin. Nabwisit lang ako kakatawag sa wala.I opened my phone and sent Lucas some messages through messenger. Maybe he's with Zena.
Race's POV I don't know how I got back to my apartment. All I could remember is that I go to bar with the guys and got wasted. Napabangon ako sa pagkakahiga at napapikit nang makadama ng kirot sa ulo. My vission's still spinning. Parang dinudurog ang utak ko. Siguro sila Enzo ang naghatid sa akin pauwi. Hindi ko na halos maalala. Tatayo na sana ako nang bigla na lamang may kumatok sa pinto. I strode towards the door and pulled it, revealing the confused look on Trish's face. "I sent you thousands of m
Race's POVIt's kinda unusual to me. Medyo naiilang ako na may babae akong kasama sa bahay. Siguro maga-adjust pa ko nito sa mga susunod na araw.I am preparing for school since I did not attend my morning classes. Kakatapos ko lang din maligo. Ang kagandahan lang ay may sarili akong kwarto rito. May sarili akong privacy."What time you going home?" Trish asked me when I went out of my room."Around 4pm. Why?"Lumapit siya sa akin at saka ako inabutan ng pera. I just looked at it."Buy us food. I want vegetables for dinner." She said
Race's POVI already told Lucas that Trish will join us in the trip to Batangas. They just agreed that's why Lorenzo decided to bring the van instead of his four seater car. Doon na lang din ilalagay ang mga luggage namin at kung ano-ano pang mga dadalhin.I am done packing my things. Everything was compromised. Wala naman din kasi ako masiyadong dadalhin. Mga damit lang pamalit. Besides, it just two days and two nights. Hindi naman kami magtatagal sa Batangas.The road trip will start by four at the afternoon. Sa circle magkikita-kita ang lahat. I don't know why but I am excited to see Zena though we always have time to chat in messenger about random things. I am just longing to see her. I badly want to see her.I went out of the room and walked towards Trish's room. I knocked on the door."Come in!" She yelled.
