The Fourth Dimension

Chapter 4

"What happen to you Ms.Gregory? Are you sick or what?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Ms.Starks, ang english teacher namin.

"I'm.. I'm fine." sabay yuko.

"Just go to the clinic. Do you want someone to assist you?" Umiling nalang ako bilang sagot.

Tumayo na 'ko at nagsimulang maglakad papuntang clinic. Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko kay Ayana. Hanggang ngayon ay di pa rin siya nakakabalik. It's been 3 days since the day that she disappeared. I know that I clearly explain to her how to use the machine, ewan ko lang kung nakinig siya. Nag-aalala na talaga ako. Balak ko sanang gumawa ng panibagong time machine para masundan ko siya pero my parents won't allow me to enter the lab because of what I did. Pero hindi pa nila alam kung ano ang nangyari kaya nakakahinga pa ko ng maluwag.

"Dad..."

"What are you doing here, Aloizia? I told you not to enter here. didn't I?" My hands were trembling. He's furious.

"I'm.... I just..." I'm lost for words.

"From now on you are not allowed to enter here. Do you understand? I'm going to remove your registration on the computer program so you won't be recognized. You're dismissed," he said and turn his back.

Imbis na dumiretso sa clinic ay mas pinili kong pumunta sa library. Pumunta ako sa bookshelf na nasa pinakadulo. Nakatulala lang ako hanggang sa tumunog yung bell which indicates na break time na. I just stayed there and close my eyes. Yeah, this is all my fault and I need to do something, I need help from someone who is capable. But I don't have any friend except for Ayana. I just realize how my life sucks big time.

After a while, I decided to go back in the classroom because I still have 2 subjects to go. When I got there, nandun na si Ms. Santos which is our instructor in Practical Research.

"Okay guys, now I'm going to dictate your groups. Listen carefully because I'm going to call your surname," okay? What's happening?

Susubukan ko sanang tanungin yung katabi ko pero 'wag nalang. I'll just wait for my groupmates. And oh... I. Hate. Groupings. A. Lot.

"Falcon, Gregory and Gariston." WHAT? As in Hans Gariston? Another Ayana. This guy has a big mouth just like Ayana.

Oh. Ayana's not here. Sigh. But wait... Gariston is loud but he is also a smart kid, and a math freak, he probably loves science too, but I'm not sure. Maybe he is the one that I need to help me to get Ayana back. I don't really like talking to people but for Aya's sake, I got this.
