Chapter 20-I
"Do you want to watch the stars with me tonight?"
I glared at Percival the instant I heard his voice. I bit my lips as I sort through my sketchbooks, I don't want to be rattled everytime because of him. Ang rami artworks ko ang nilumot na lang ang nasira. Kasama na ang bagong mga sketches at portrait sana ni Percival dahil hindi ko 'to nalagyan ng fixative. " Can't you see I'm busy."
Percival leans on attic's door." I thought you need a break..."
"I don't know why I would need a break. Hindi naman ako napagod sa paggawa ng props." I surrendered but I keep gathering my sketchbooks. Napatayo ako para ilipat sana yun sa study desk ko." My head is just hurting because of certain someone. Dahil sa tindi ng pagiging pathological liar mo pati ako nababaliw na rin dahil sayo."
"...Because you saw me in the art club again?" Pag-uungkat niya.
"...A hallucination, an imagination. That's it." Asik ko.
He chuckled." If you say so..."
Agad ko siyang nilingon." I hate it when you say that."
"Why would you hate everything I do or say? Bakit ako lang, Sheena?" Percival replied to me with so much hurt." We have strange start, but what of it? You accept other despite of that. Si Gregory nga kahit sinubukan ka niyang iblackmail dahil sa illegal drugs tinanggap mo siya ulit. Si Ronald kahit wala siyang balak tulungan ka o manatili sa tabi kahit noon pa lang ayos lang sayo."
"They are real people, that's why. Diba sabi mo painting ka?" I replied coldly to him as I put on my jacket." Stop giving a rant. I just don't like you acting as if I'm an idiot for not believing your bullshits okay?"
"Then, I'm sorry I won't bring it up again." Percival sighed, his shoulder dropping." I just wanted to see you that day. But for now---are y-you still up for stargazing?"
"I'm just tired that day, you didn't visit me. That's why I thought I saw you." I glance at him. I am compelled to explain myself. Pero siya, ang bilis niya mag-iba ng topic." Bakit ko pa ba kasi sayo nakwento? Nakuha mo pa tuloy sakyan. Ngayon, dini-distract mo na lang ako."
"It would be fun, Hon..."
"Stargazing lang? What else?"
He place his finger in his chin." Malamig sa taas. Hot Cocoa? Bonfire?"
Napatigil ako. "Bonfire? That's not bad, there's a lot of sketches I want to burn."
