One month had passed and still, rumors keep spreading like a virus in a Lytic infection. Are you asking about Bianca? Well, she doesn’t talk to me that much. She talks to Kris a lot, but then Kris would just get away from her. Good for her. Our principal went inside. Siguro may i-a-announce. “Good morning, III-Avogadro.” “Good morning Ma’am.” “I’ll just make a quick announcement. P3000 will be given to each club. You’re going to spend this money within the next two days. It’s up to you if you want to go to the hotel, club, and bar, whatever… as long as you can practice, the place will definitely do. After that, you’re going to perform something in front of our visitors. Remember, no one should be in this campus tomorrow. You have your money, use it wisely.” “Ma;am, what if we have more than two clubs?” “It’s up to you which club you’re going to join.” Excited na ako. Saang club naman kaya ako sasama? I can leave Mananayaw, hindi naman ako president. “Babaita.” “Oh ano yun, bruha?” “Theatre tayo.” “Bakit naman?” “Well, hindi mo ba ma-gets? Andoon ang mga cute boys.” “Mananayaw din kaya sila.” “Eeeh. Sa theatre sila eh. Good timing, theatre tayong dalawa. ” Makaka-tanggi paba ako? :roll: “Oo na,” I laughed. Parang stalker naman itong kaibigan ko. Kung saan-saan gusto, basta may gwapong lalake —–λ—– “Students, yung sasama sa theatre, sa bench tayo.” Bench. Bench. Bench. “Okay, here’s our plan.” “Aba. Galing mo sir,” Singit ko. “Punta tayong resort, ayos ba?” “Nalilibang ka nab a ‘tol? We’re going to practice,” sagot ni Ruel with sarcasm. “Di ka muna kasi makinig, langya ka.” “O tapos?” “May alam akong resort. Malaki ang function hall, ganun din yung building, pwede tayong magpa-reserve ng two days doon. 100 for the entrance fee. Who’s in?” Paano naman siya nakapag-canvas ng resort dito? Lakwatsero? 8O “When and where do we meet?” “Later evening, 10 sharp. In front of the campus.” “Yes boss.” —–λ—– “Kris naman oh. Ang daming langaw dito. Una na kasi tayo, nagmamakaawa ako. ” “Kahit magpa-cute ka pa diyan, hindi ako papayag. Mag-tiis ka. Short kasi ng short.” “Ang tae mo talaga.” He turned around, “They’re here.” Langya! Kaya naman pala ang tagal-tagal kasi nag-ipon-ipon sila. And like, hello? I didn’t know that Myca and I were the only girls in this club. I mean, asan yung iba? I can’t believe na tinalikuran nila ang theatre. Mama drove us to the place. Parang darna si mama, supportive much. “Here’s the resort. Mag-ingat kayo. Kris? Ingatan mo si Clariane ah.” “Uyiiieee!” “Ma naman? Kaya ko na–” “Yes, Auntie,” he said and placed his arm on my shoulder. Aba? Ibang level to ah? “Bye kuya,” Biboy grinned and closed the door. Ano bay an. Hindi na ako bata eh. Parang naman hanggang dito, wala akong freedom. Pinapabantay pa ako ni Mama. We went to our rooms na, nilagay yung gamit, then we went to the function hall. As usual, meeting na naman. “Okay. The thing is, Romeo And Juliet ang gagawin natin.” “Wow!” “Let’s vote. Sino Romeo natin?” “Ikaw na ‘tol. President ka naman.” Oo nga. I also think it would be cool if he would play as our Romeo. “Si Juliet?” “Clariane!” What? Ako? No way. Like, duh? “Ayokong kissing scene no. Asa kayo.” “As if naman we’re going to kiss in front of our visitors. We would just have a very sweet ending.” “Fine.” —–λ—– I woke up and saw Ann lying on the floor. That’s when I realized that I pushed her when I was sleeping. Poor cousin. I went to the bathroom and turned on the television. NEWS. Terrorists attacked the border between United States and Canada. More than 2000 bodies were found. Some were immediately brought to the hospital, and some were already found dead. Shit. Tears suddenly filled my eyes. “Clariane?” I turned around and saw Kris, “Leave me alone. Please.” “Why are you crying?” “Wala na,” I shook my head and began crying. “He might be dead.” “You aren’t sure pa naman. Just pray.” “No,” I cried and ran outside. —–λ—– Kris’ Point Of View I went inside Clariane’s room to ask for some towel, but then I found her standing there… crying silently. “Clariane?” She wiped her tears and turned to me, “Leave me alone. Please.” “Why are you crying?” “Wala na,” she broke down into tears. “He might be dead.” I can’t think of any words to say. Kaya naman sinabi ko nalang, “you aren’t sure pa naman. Just pray.” “No,” she cried. I tried to grab her hand, but then hindi ko siya nahabol. I lay down on the bed and looked at the ceiling for a moment. I whispered, “Why do you keep on following him?”
