That Infamous Girl

25

Everything's a mess.

I feel like a mess.

I woke up with my head throbbing like hell. Pakiramdam ko may hangover ako na ewan.

Nang bumaba ako wala na sila. They were already at school. They left me a note. It was posted on the ref.

Tinignan ko ang bandage sa braso. It was the part of my arm where the bullet struck.

Ginamot nila. I know I collapsed again, last night. I mentally rolled my eyes.

Kumain muna ako at nagbihis bago naisipang umalis. There's no need to hurry, dahil late na rin naman ako.

Tumigil muna ako at humarap sa salamin.

But what surprised me was that.. my eyes. Dahan-dahan akong lumapit sa salamin.

A-Anong nangyari?

Bakit?

Bakit blue ang mga mata ko?

Nag flashback ang nangyari kagabi.

Laxus. Celtic dragon. The drug. When I fell asleep. The race. Si Kian. Si Cole. The black van. Yung lalaking bumaril sakin.

That's it.

I grabbed my bag and found my phone. Alam kong nahimatay na naman ako kagabi. I know they treated my wound. Where did they put the bullet?

I dialled Cliff's number but he wasn't answering. Damn this guy. Nakikipaglandian na naman ba?

Buti nalang nag-ring ang phone ni Steff.

["Hello?"]

"Where's the bullet?"

["Huh?"]

"The bullet."

["Wait. What?"]

"You sure treated my wounds, where did you put the bullet?"

["Yumi?"] I mentally face palmed.

"Damn it. Answer me. The bullet in my arm last night!"
