Race's POV
The moment I saw her entered the room, that's the cue for me to stand up, walked towards her and held her arm.
The smile on her face faded as I dragged her away.
"Race, I'm hurting!" Protesta ni Gail pero hindi ko siya pinansin.
Nang makarating sa harap ng theater room, I slammed the door open. There is no one inside. Just only the two of us.
I let go of her arm and stared at her afterwards.
"Race..." She looked at me, there was a tint of fear in her eyes. I could sense it.
"What
Race's POVDays have passed and I just couldn't sweep off my mind what Gail told me about her proposal.Until now, I am still undecided of what should I do. I am not superman nor batman to save Zena from harm. But I just can't sleep at night thinking Zena will always stay miserable just because of Gail—and the heck I can sleep at night? I am literally sleepless!I am like a fool staring at the ceiling. Its already dawn but I'm still wide awake.I woke up and grabbed my jacket and helmet then went outside.The night breeze embraced me. Ramdam ko ang lamig kahit na nakajacket na ako. Paano pa
Race's POV"Race, thank you! My parents really likes you. Ingat ka sa pag-uwi." She then hugged me and kissed my cheeks. Pudpod na siguro ang pisngi ko kakahalik niya simula pa kaninang umaga.I jumped on my motorcycle and drove away. Finally, natapos na rin ang oras ko kasama ang mga Trinidad. I couldn't really breathe properly thinking the person I am sitting with before were the ones who treated Zena as a garbage.Nang maiparada ko ang motor ko sa gilid, napansin ko ang isang pulang kotse na nakaparada lang din hindi kalayuan sa pinagparadahan ko. Sino naman kaya ang may-ari nito? Baka sa bisita lang ng isa sa mga kapit-bahay namin.I walked towards my apartment instead. Nahinto pa ko matapos makita si Zena. She was laughing and she wasn't alone. Kasama niya na naman 'yong lalaki kanina sa school. The heck! Sino ba 'yang lalaki na 'yan
Race's POVI'm struggling inside a labyrinth. The walls is somewhat like made of grass. Kanina pa ko paikot-ikot pero tila ba wala akong malalabasan sa lugar na 'to. I'm stucked.Nagpatuloy lang ako sa paglalakad kahit na napakadilim sa buong paligid. Hindi ko rin matandaan kung paano ako nakapunta sa lugar na 'to. Wala akong kasama, tanging sarili ko lang.I squinted my eyes when I saw a source of light. I didn't know where it was coming but I guess it's a way out of here. Kailangan kong malapitan 'yon!My walk turned to pace and then goes to a wild run.Malapit na ko ro'n sa lagusan nang bigla n
Race's POV"Hi?" Lucas broke the silence."Thank God you're finally awake!" Sambit ni Zena saka siya lumapit sa akin. Sumunod naman sa kanya si Lucas.Zena held my hand and looked me straight into my eyes. That made my heart jumped wilder."Please, don't do it again. I don't want to lose you, Race." She said with sympathy.Only if you knew why it happened.Gusto na nga yata kita, Zena.Fuck!Nag-iwas ako nang tingin sa kanya. She then let go of my hand."Race, Lucas is here to tutor you. He'll be assigned to teach you para hindi ka mahuli sa klase. Our principal told me to tutor you but I have a work after class so I recommended Lucas to help you." Tinuro pa ni Zena si Lucas na nakatayo malapit sa pintuan. Ngayon ko lang napan
Race's POVNakakatamad pala talaga sa ospital. My hours seems like days! Parang magkaka-ugat ako rito sa loob ng kwarto na 'to. Paikot-ikot lang ako sa loob.Napagpasiyahan kong lumabas na lamang ng kwarto hila-hila 'yong s'wero na naka-konekta sa likod ng kamay ko.Naglakad ako patungo sa hindi ko alam kung saan. Nadaanan ko ang iba't ibang uri ng pasiyente na meron ang ospital na 'to. I don't like what I'm seeing. They weren't good to my ears as well. So, I decided to walk faster.Dinala ako ng mga paa ko sa mini chapel ng ospital. There was an old man sitting in the front. I don't know but my feet walked and I took the sit at the back.
Race's POVI don't know if there was a stem underneath my feet. One word I can tell about staying in the hospital, BORING.The cycle was literally like this, I wake up every morning, sit, walk around, eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, tutor time with Lucas and the gang then goes to bed and the cycle will repeat the next other day. Hindi ko na nga namalayang ngayon na ang araw na pwede na kong makalabas sa ospital.When the doctor done checking my vital signs and my stitches, I faced Gail who's beside me. I know I'm not asking her about this from the time I got admitted in this hospital, it just now that I've decided to ask this to her. Though I know what she was about to tell me."Gail, what happen to my motorcycle? My car keys? I want to ride home."She seemed shock by my sudden question... I'm expecting for this.
Race's POV"Kalalabas mo lang ng ospital tapos isinugod ka na naman pabalik! Ano ba naman 'yan, Race!" Pagrereklamo ni Lorenzo sa sitwasiyon ko. They are all present here. Lorenzo, Aaron and Ace. Si Gail napasugod na rin dito matapos mabalitaan ang nangyari sa akin. Si Zena at Lucas, ayon, tahimik na nakamasid sa akin mula sa sofa.The doctor decided to admit me until tomorrow. Lorenzo already paid the bills. Nakakahiya pero matigas ang ulo, eh. Hinayaan ko na lang. Besides, he's always be the one paying whenever the group needs money for something. Rich kid, eh."Ano bang sabi ng doktor sa 'yo, Race?" Asked Gail."I should take some sleep. Staying wide awake for too long may cause me severe headache. Nahihirapan na raw makipagsabayan ang katawan ko sa sakit ko." I explained. Nakakaramdam naman ako dati pa ng sakit sa ulo pero mas malala '
Race's POVLucas was the one driving the car. Zena was on the passenger seat while I'm on the back.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
