�W-well�� my eyebrows were narrowed as I shook my head for the nth time around. �You want me to repeat it?� I hope I could control my emotions with this guy. I really don�t feel like blowing up, today. Kaya please? Naman o. �Shut up! I don't care. So please?! Just shut your mouth?!� I gave him a quick punch. �What's happening here?!� I heard his voice again. But he was nowhere to be found. ��� �Ma!� I ran up to her and embraced her. She didn�t embrace me back. Why? �M-Ma�� I started to cry as I held her shoulders. Her face was blank. It was totally blank. �I miss you, Ma.� I sobbed and kissed her cheek. She suddenly pulled me back. I made a shocking scream. She narrowed her eyes as she held her hand high. I watched her disappear. "NO!!" I screamed as I felt the warmth of someone�s hand, touching my cheek. �Margaret! It's okay. I'm here.� I blinked so many times just to clear my vision. But I know it was him. I know his voice. �Aries�� I blinked again, he was holding my hand, again! �Aries?!� Yes. Irritated na naman ako. I tried to pull my hand back and fortunately, I succeeded. �What happened?� I asked quietly as I glanced at different directions. I realized we were alone. �You collapsed. I was alarmed by the�� he yawned for a second then continued, ��saw ohf yohw puhnch and ef�� I didn't understand what he was actually saying, so I didn't pay much attention. He's probably tired. After a minute, I found him lying his head on my hips. �H-Hey�� I heard him yawn again. I guess I should not say anything. I slept again. ��� �Are they together? They're so sweet. How I wish�� "Yes. I think they are. I agree with you Lyra, they're sweet." Huh? Sweet? Sino? I opened my eyes slowly. At alam niyo ba nakita ko? Ang napakagwapong muka ni Aries. His face was actually two inches away from mine. I turned my head to the other way and saw the crowd looking straight to us. �GET OUT!!!� �H-Huh? What happened?! Why�� he opened his eyes and jumped in shock. �Ask yourself, bastard!� Nagsialisan na sila. Tapos nakita ko may mga SJ students din sa labas. I threw the blanket to Aries. Asar talaga. Gusto ko talaga siyang sabunutin. Ginawan niya ako ng issue! �O, ano? Why don't you tell me? I can't ask myself kasi eh.� Ang tanga talaga. �Oh talaga? Ginawan mo kasi TAYO ng bagong issue dito sa buong campus. Nasira na pangalan ko. How can you solve my problem now?� I exclaimed while hitting him with the pillow. Nang-gigigil na talaga ako. Gusto ko siyang suntukin, pasalamat nalang siya medyo nanghihina pa ako. �I won't solve it, silly. Let them think that we're together. You don't care anyway, right?� Those words suddenly pierced my heart for no reason. Answer me, do I really care? Should I care? Should I really, really care about that thing? No, right? NO, because it would be distraction if I would still care. �Hmm? Why are you�wait, did I just say something that made you startled?� He smirked sheepishly. �N-No,� I shook my head and held my hair, �I was bothered. I was just thinking of something.� �Tell me,� He leaned and his face was very close to mine. Not again! �Tell me,� He said anxiously, �it is David, I wonder where he�� he turned around and said, �Never mind. I'm going. Good luck with your new problem, Margaret.� ��� �Eira,� I waved my hand as I saw her running up to the middle of the crowd. �Margaret!� She said quickly as she made her way out. �Hello,� I smiled, �What�s that?� At tinuro ko yung papers na hinahawak niya. �It�s a present for our soon-to-be valedictorian.� Valedictorian?! I flinched at the word. I knew just what she meant Aries. Hello? I'm still here; still fighting. How could you� �What are you thinking?� She asked. �Wow,� I whispered sarcastically, trying to ignore her. �Margaret! Are you coming?� Sabi ni Ian habang papasok sa clinic. �Uh� Sure,� I rolled my eyes and started walking. �Hey! Wait up!� I turned around, �Why?� Then I saw a group of girls trying to pull her. �Zaleine�s Bar!!! Seven Sharp!!!� ��� I embraced my books so hard. �I know, Marge. Joining the Taekwondo competition would cost a lot.� Naman. Bwisit. Ang sarap sapakin ni David. �Are you a psychic?� I asked without looking at him. �No, I got used to it. Money matters,� he laughed. Alam ko naman yun e. Muka akong pera. �So, I was just thinking� Would it be fine if I shoulder all of those expenses? I mean, willing naman akong gawin yun.� Sure! No! Of course not! May pera naman ako eh. Are you silly, Margaret?! This is a chance. �Ridiculous loser,� I smirked. Oo, reject yan. Have you lost your mind, Margaret!? Chance na nga yun e! Tse! Shut up! David grabbed me quickly and wrapped his arm around my neck. I can't�I can't move! After a second, his eyes were on mine. �Who's the loser now?� He smiled as I was gasping for air. I closed my eyes slowly. Taena! All you need to do is to breathe. BREATHE. Finally, he removed his arm. �I�m sorry. I was just joking and� Sorry, I don�t want you to collapse again because of me. I am sorry.� I sat and breathed heavily. �I just can�t face the pain. I already fell, Margaret. And it�s difficult.�
