Race's POV
"I want this one. Try this." Utos sa akin ni Zena saka ako pinagtulakan papasok ng fitting room. I have no choice but to follow.
Nandito kami ngayon sa baklaran. After buying some shirts and shorts for Silly, we stopped on one of the wardrobe outlets here. Iniabot sa akin ni Zena 'yong vest saka isang puting long sleeves kanina. I don't know what got into her to push me wear these kind of cloathes. One thing's for sure, I might look like an anime cosplayer by wearing this kind of outfit.
Sinuot ko na lang 'yon saka nagtungo sa labas. My polo shirt was rested on my right arm. Zena took it right away.
"Wear that one. Mas okay 'yan." She dem
Race's POVShe stood up and pulled me from lying. Dahil pasuray-suray at sa takot na rin na bumuwal kaming dalawa, inakbayan ko siya't inalalayan ang bawat hakbang na ginagawa. Lasing na rin ako't dumodoble na ang aking paningin. But unlike her, I know I'm still on my good state.Malapit na kami ni Zena sa sofa nang bigla siyang humiwalay sa akin. She faced me and I was startled when she pushed me. Mabuti na lang at nasalo ako ng sofa.Kahit na hilong-hilo dahil sa pagbagsak ay balak ko na sanang bumangon nang biglang maghubad si Zena sa harapan ko. She took her umbrella dress just like that. Now, she was just wearing her undergarments. Napaiwas ako nang tingin."Zena, you're drunk." Sabi ko't balak na sanang
Race's POVI woke up by the sounds of raindrops on the roof. Nakaramdam ako nang lamig dahilan para mapayakap ako sa sariling katawan. I'm naked.Napadilat agad ako ng mga mata. I was surprised to see a blanket that was covering my manhood. Walang tao sa buong paligid. It was just me, myself and I on this haunted place.Napabangon ako mula sa pagkakahiga sa sofa at saka nilibot nang tingin ang buong paligid. She wasn't here anymore. Nasaan na kaya si Zena?I smelled something. Napalibot ako nang tingin sa paligid at namataan ang tasa at isang platong may tinapay.I wrapped the blanket around my waist and stood up. Nagtungo ako sa lamesang ilang dipa lang din ang layo s
Race's POVI cried as I crawled towards Jace. Ace stood up the moment I reached him. He gave way for me to talk with my sibling. I smiled like how my younger brother was smiling at me."I miss you so much, Kuya." He said. I closed my eyes as the tears bursted out again. My body just moved only to make a hug for my long lost brother. Finally, he's here with me. Mom and Dad, I've finally found Jace. Hinding-hindi ko na po siya pababayaang makawala pa sa paningin ko.Jace embraced me like I came from abroad and this was the first ever time we have to see each other. We both cried as I heard them cried with us. My body was shaking so bad. My fingers were trembling and I couldn't even breathe properly. Hindi ko magawang
Race's POVI stared at her pretty face for a while. Zena just seemed to be in a deep sleep. There was prosper on her face and as long as I stared at her, her face brightens even more.I smiled oppositely to what I truly feel from the inside. I'm dying, slowly. Painfully.I stood straight and composed myself. I even wiped the tears away my cheeks and turned to look at Lucas.I reached my boiling point. I lost out of control. Sinugod ko si Lucas at wala ano-anong sinuntok siya nang malakas. He fell to the ground as the others came rushing in to separate the two of us.I don't know who
Race's POVCouple of days have passed just like that. Every student at the university was studying hard to get high score for the first semester examinations. Me on the other hand, trying to compromise my time with Jace, Zena, Alexsha, my friends and even in my studies. Well, I'm kinda burndened and pained. Nahihirapan din ako.During those days, I didn't have the chance to sleep. Well, I had few hours. Maybe two or three, I guess? It was good enough than nothing, right?At school, I tried to cope up by my major subjects. I am always reviewing my notes whenever I am walking down the corridors. One time, hindi ko nga sinasadiyang may mabunggo. Sakto pa namang my hawak na ice cream 'yong kasama niya, 'yon. Nakitikim
Race's POVEverything went back to normal. I go to school. Alexsha went to her business company. My friends kept on nagging me while I kept on avoiding them. I always have time to visit Jace and guide him whenever he wants to walk for his therapy and fast recovery. Binibisita ko rin si Zena at umaasang kapag pumunta ako ro'n, gising na siya. But I always ended up being fooled. Si Lucas naman, wala. Hindi ko siya kinakausap. I am just greeting his parents when I am visiting Jace and Zena. Wala naman kasi akong pakialam sa kanila. Hindi sila ang pinunta ko ro'n.My Calculus class ended and I was done packing my things when someone spoke from behind."Let's go together? Absent si Clinton, e. Okay lang namang ikaw ang
Race's POVWe went to stage together. Some were looking at us while we were walking towards Mr. Dul Fueno. Suddenly, I felt a hand wrapped around my hand. When I turned to look at Zena, she was smiling at me. Her aura was so light but there was trace of tiredness on her face. It made me make a weak smile as we walked side by side.Nang makarating sa stage ay agad na iniabot sa akin ni Mr. Del Fueno ang mic. I even cussed after it."Show the world how lucky you are, Race. Seize your moment." Bulong pa sa akin ni Mr. Del Fueno."The fuck." I whispered. I have no choice but to do it. I know hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at me, waiting for what I about to say.Tinitigan ko si Zena. She smiled at me and nodded afterwards. I don't know but it brought me enough cou
Race's POV"Next time don't drive without wearing protection, okay?" One of the cops said.Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako o ano dahil sa sinabi niya. It gave me second thoughts though. And those thoughts weren't good for kids. Hindi ko tuloy mapigilang mapalingon sa kasama ko, kay Zena at Alexsha na pareho akong pinagagalitan dahil sa kalokohang ginawa ko kanina."May nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko, hijo?" Tanong niya pa sa akin pero napailing na lang ako. I pressed my lips together just to suppress myself from laughing.I just signed some papers and such a while ago. The cops gave me sermons and such as we waited Alexsha to pick us up. May binayaran d
