CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

K a i

There were too many people in the auditorium. It's draining my energy, so I've decided to go outside. There, fresh air. Someone ran from behind and hugged me. This warmth, this scent, this person, is the one who weakens me. It's like whatever she does, I'd still love her. My heart belongs to her and only to her, but I have to be cruel to her right now, so she won't do stupid things again in the future.

"Don't play with baby Victoria's feelings, sis," I remember Paris telling me. Shaking it off, I let out a deep sigh. Someone needs to learn her lesson. I will make her realize that she cannot bail out on me again because it hurts a lot. Still hurting.

"So, you want to break my heart, huh?" I trembled when I saw her grinning. "It's okay, Kai, you can break it all you want, as long as I can have yours. I will play your game and I don't care if I lose, kung 'yun ang ikatutuwa mo, sige."

"I play the game better than you do."

"Oh, really?" She then snaked her arms around my waist, placed a kiss on the side of my neck, and whispered, "Run." I didn't know what she meant by that, but when I heard Jackie speaking on the megaphone and telling the students that the lucky person who can bring me to Ice will be forgiven. "I suggest you hide, darling. I'll see you later," She says sweetly, giving me a passionate kiss before letting me flee.

"There she is!" A student spotted me. Shit, where the hell will I hide? No, not behind the bush, that's too obvious. I simply cannot just stand here and get wrestled, so I ran again. "Here, I saw her went inside the cafeteria!" Every man for himself, nagtutulakan sila, nagsisigawan at nagtuturuan kung sino ang maswerteng maghahatid sa akin sa kanya, kaya naman nang makahanap ako ng pagkakataon ay agad akong tumalon sa lamesa ng ibang estudyante upang makawala. "She got away! After her!"

I found myself taking a break near the Dean's office. "Great. They won't find me here." I giggled a bit, sneaking into the large room. Umupo ako at nagpahinga. Uminom na rin ako ng tubig dahil kanina pa ako takbo ng takbo. "Mr. Maxion, pasensya na po kayo kung nandito ako, I was hiding from the students," Paliwanag ko sa principal nang makita niya akong nagtatago sa loob ng kanyang opisina. "Lalabas na lang po ako mamaya kung wala na sila."

"Alam mo, miss Lucas," Actually, it's Sinclair, but it's okay, it's my mother's name anyway. At isa pa, 'yun ang alam nilang lahat dito, eh, kaya hindi ko na binago ang apelyido ko. It can create chaos inside the Crimson Walls if I did. "...galit sa akin ang kasinatahan mong si miss Cambria, ang panganay na kambal, dahil daw pinabayaan kita at hinayaan kong tratuhin ka ng hindi maganda ng mga estudyanteng humahabol sa'yo ngayon."

"Yeah, I remember how you looked away that day when the students were giving me verbal smackdowns." The old man lowered her head, probably feeling ashamed. "Worst, you had chosen to ignore me when it escalated to some of them physically abusing me."

"Apologies, Miss Lucas."

"No promises, Mr. Maxion, but sure."

"Pinarusahan ni Ice kahit yung mga grumaduate na. Nawalan sila ng trabaho at ang iba sa kanila ay nahihirapang makakuha ng trabaho." Wow, Eunice Yuki, grabe ha. "At kung hindi ako gagawa ng magandang bagay na ikatutuwa niya sa isang linggo, mawawalan ako ng trabaho."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be a-"

"Come with me, Kai." He instructed me to follow him and so I did. I'm surprised he led me to this place. "I delivered her safely here, am I forgiven?" Tinignan ko ng masama ang matandang nagdala sa akin dito. At sino 'tong kausap niya sa library na nakaupo sa swivel chair?
