CHASE

We are here in the room and doing nothing because the teachers have another meeting again.

I don't know if they are stupid or what, bakit pa nila kami pinapapasok kung magme-meeting lang naman sila at walang balak mag turo?

Napailing nalang ako.

I glanced at Faye's chair that was between Ethan and Trace. No one was sitting there because all I knew was Faye went out to tour the entire campus on her own.

I next looked at Kairus when I felt the stare he was throwing at me.

I don't know what happened to him. Pagkatapos naming maglaro nang truth or dare nung nakaraan, naging tahimik na siya, lagi naman siyang tahimik pero iba yung pagiging tahimik niya nung nakaraan at ngayon. Alam kong hindi lang ako ang nakakapansin nang pagiging tahimik niya, alam ko. Alam kong napansin din 'yon ng mga kaibigan namin pero hindi sila nagtanong at mas piniling manahimik nalang.

Palaging malalim ang iniisip niya, I don't know what's going on his mind. Even though I was his closest friend I still couldn't read what he was thinking just by looking at him.

Alam kong may iniisip siya at kailangan niya ng sagot sa tanong niya. I know him, he won't stop until he gets an answer.

Nilabanan ko ang titig niya at tinanong siya. "What's bothering you?"

"Your answer." He answered sparingly and still kept his eyes on me.

Huh?

"My answer? What are you saying?" Kunot noong tanong ko sa kaniya.

Seriously, I don't know what's he's saying. What does he say 'my answer'?

Hindi niya pinansin ang tanong ko at sinagot lang ako ng isa pang tanong.

"Chase, tell me. Do you like Allister?" Seryosong tanong niya na nakapagpa-tigil sa'kin.

I could feel our friends looking at us and I knew they also heard Kairus' question dahil may kalakasan ang tanong niya.

Bumukas ang bibig ko pero walang salita ang lumabas dahil pakiramdam ko may pumipigil sakin.

Bakit pakiramdam ko hindi na ako sumasang-ayon sa plano ni Kai? Damn.

I laughed at shook my head at him. And now I realized that what he was saying 'my answer' was bothering him.

Ang sagot ko sa tanong niya nung naglaro kami nang truth or dare nung isang linggo.

Ano ba kasi ang nasa isip ko at 'yon ang sinagot ko?

"I don't like her. At kung ang sagot ko sayo ang iniisip mo at ang bumabagabag sayo, wala lang para sakin ang sagot ko."

Bakit hindi nalang si Lev at Trace ang tanungin niya?

He looked at me without emotion and grinned but I knew he was not convinced by my answer.

"Just make sure. You know what we show her is just a fvcking show. Gonzales, we are just in a game, remember that," Madiin na aniya bago tumingin kay Lev at Trace. "Del Valle... Vasallo, as well as the two of you." He added.

Napaiwas ng tingin si Lev samantalang napayuko naman si Trace.

Ramdam na ramdam ko ang tensyon na bumabalot sa amin ngayon. Lahat sila tahimik at walang nagtangkang magsalita.
