Until now, I'm still thinking about what I've said to Ryde. Something's off with me because I keep thinking about it. I've always been so brutally honest with him since then, but this is the first time I'm feeling guilty about it. 

I don't know. Parang may hindi talaga tama sa sinabi ko.

I shrugged away every thought for a moment. May afterparty na magaganap rito sa mansion ng mga Vosslens para i-celebrate ang first half ng Stade Royale pati na rin ang pagpapakilala sa bagong Infinito. Lider's gonna announce too who's gonna represent the organization for the second half.

Is he going to announce his own name? I chuckled at the thought. He won the first round so hindi malabong siya ang magiging representative.

I wore a gold tassel earrings that glammed up my beige long sleeve fitted dress. 

After that, I looked at my lip product containers sitting on top of my make-up vanity. Magaan kong pinadaan ang mga daliri ko sa ibabaw ng mga lipstick habang namimili. 

Should I go for a glossy look? Or a matte finish? But what shade though? Is the red shade enough to make me presentable tonight? Or was it too much? Hmm, maybe I'll go for something nude? Like something not too flashy?

Oh my gosh. Bakit ba hirap na hirap ako?

Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door. 

"Come in!" 

Abala ako sa pamimili at sa reflection na lang ng vanity mirror ko nalaman kung sino ang pumasok. It was Ryde, and he was wearing a black tuxedo. His long hair was slightly wet and pushed back. 

Iniwas ko na agad ang tingin ko.

"Your parents are waiting for you at the garden. Bakit raw ang tagal mong bumaba?" He asked casually, hands on his pocket. 

"I don't know what shade to wear." I simply answered. Parang wala kaming naging usapan kanina sa raceway.

Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit panay iwas ako sa kaniya ng tingin. Am I disappointed with him again? Maybe yes? Because I was expecting him to win against a newbie. Axcel just started with his career three years ago. While Ryde, he's been on the road since we were kids. 

I wanted to confront him again, but I just chose to keep all the thoughts inside. I feel like I'm always being too harsh on him lately. I always shout at him, get mad at him, and ignore him everytime he doesn't meet my expectations. Maybe that's the reason why he feel unmotivated to do better or do his best again.

Naisip ko lang, noong bata ako lagi akong pinagagalitan nila mommy. I hate it so much. I feel so incapable. Parang puro mali ko na lang ang napapansin nila. I remember myself crying to sleep. I feel so scared to try again. There's this one time I almost killed myself from a car accident because I was pushing myself too much just l to prove something to them.
