Alex (girl)


I don't know what else to do. I've beencleaning my room, naglaba na rin ako, ginawa ko na lahat ng pwedekong gawin pero bakit di parin maalis sa isip ko si Alex. Hindi ko naata kakayanin to eh. When will this stop? Everyone in this house hasbeen acting so strange that all I wanted to do was lock up in myroom. Pero alam ko na mas mapapansin nila tita na may problema akopag ginawa ko yun.


I'm not ok, but I need to be, atleastfor now. That's all I can do to help myself. He was even in mydreams, even in my dreams.


My train of thoughts has been cut whenI heard my phone ring.


"Hello?" I spoke.

"Alex, it's been days. Why aren't youanswering my calls?" Kevin.

"Sinagot ko naman na diba?" Ianswered sarcastically.

"Alam kong may pinagdadaanan ka, peropinapatay mo naman sarili mo sa ginagawa mo ngayon. Your otherseniors said na madalang ka na daw pumupunta sa choir practices,"tuloy tuloy niyang sermon.


"Bakit ikaw? Hindi ka rin namanpumapasok ah," I'm getting tired of this.

"You're getting tired of what?"shit, hindi ko napansin na nasabi ko pala yun. I thought that wasjust in my mind.

"Nothing," I denied.

"Don't give me that shit because youchose this," aray!


Oo na, ako na pumili nito pero bakitpag nanggagaling kay Kevin, napapamukha sa akin na mali talaga? Parakay Alex naman to ah,


Eh ikaw?


Tanong ng sarili kosa akin. Alam ko naman na may maganda ring kalalabasan to. I defendedmyself from myself! God this is do getting fucked up.


"Hello?" oo ngapala, nasa linya pa si Kevin.

"I need to go,"I rushly answered.

"No Alex, we needto tal--," and I hang up.


Pagkababa ko ngphone ko, humiga ako sa kama ko and decided to take a bath and goout. Kahit saan, ayoko lang nababantayan.


I'm about to reachmy blow drier to dry my hair when Shara knocked on my door.


"Yung sundo moate andyan na," she spoke on the other side of my door.

"Sundo? Walanaman-," I was cut off midsentence when I heard Kevin's voice.

"Ang tagal moAlex, late na tayo," sabi niya, what the?!


So I put down myblow drier and picked up my hair brush, phone and headset and stuffedit all in my shoulder bag. Pagbukas ko ng pinto, si Kevin nalang angnandun.


"What the fuckare yu doing here?!" I whisper yelled.

"Bibig mo," hewarned.

"Sorry," agadko namang hingi ng tawad. "Follow me," he said looking so calm,nakakatakot.


Alex (boy)


I knew I should've had taken Allen'swords. Ayoko nang bumalik dun sa alaalang yun pero wala na akongmagagawa ngayon. Everything has been all set and done and the onlything that I can do now is try to move on....


I was pulled out off of my train ofthoughts when someone shared her umbrella with me. Pagtingin ko kungsino, it was Kaye. We're friends before but being by her side right nowmakes me feel uneasy.


"Can you please hold the umbrella?You're a lot taller than me you know?" she smiled handing me theumbrella.

"Uhm, thanks?" I said unable tothink if it's okay to be by her side right now, what if Alex sees us?


Don't be such a pussy, Alex cheatedon you. And this is not even called cheating kasi wala nang kayo.


Minsan naiinis natalaga ako sa sarili ko but this time, I think I can agree with himfor the first time.


Naglalakad na kamipapunta sa building ko when she suddenly held my hand pulling me theother way. "My building is this way, would you mind? Samahan mo akohanggang doon?" she said already pulling me the opposite direction.


"Sige," was allI can say letting her pull me. Nung malapit na kami sa schoolbuilding niya, may dumaang sasakyan and just as I was about to lookaway, I saw Alex in the passenger's side looking at our linked hands,she looks so pained it made me pull my hand away from Kaye's grasp.


"What's thematter?" Kaye asked causing me to regain my current self.

"Wala wala," Ireplied as I watch the car go, nakita ko plate number and there's nodoubt. It was Kevin's car. So Kevin is with her, huh? Tsk.


Kevin


"I know what you saw Alex, is this the reason why you insisted topass through here?" I asked her obnoxiously earning a glare fromher.


"I just wanted to confirm my feelings, kung talagang kaya ko bangpanindigan tong ginawa ko o hindi. What we saw earlier confirmed myfeelings," she said with full of resolve but that ticked me offeven more. How she looked at them spoke a million words than what shejust told me.


Why did I even agreed to this. Nahihirapan din akong tignan siya naganyan. No one wants to see her like this. Pero bakit mas lalo pa niyang pinapahirapan sarili niya? I don't know what's running through her mind and it's making me lose my temper. I just stepped on the gas and raced through the open highway.


"You need to clear up your mind," I insisted on Alex which isn't listening to me obviously so i just concentrated on my driving.

Just as I was about to pass the other establishments, she suddenly spoke. " I want pancakes," and closed her eyes.
