xena eitè zin.

"God, Xena. Anong ginawa mo?" Sabi ni Seymour, habang kasama ko sila.

Nasa labas kami ngayon ng Delcroix, habang iniikot ikot ko nanaman yung Zin crest ring ko. Nakangisi pa ako, habang nasa likod ko naman si Sandy at Chloè.

We were sitting inside Sandy's car, kaya naman nakatago kami sa mga nag uusyoso na mga estudyante. Nakaalis na nga yung ambulance, nagpapakabobo pa din sila sa pagtingin. Tsk.

"What? Vance is a great athlete. We have to get him out of the official lineup," sabi ko naman, at nagdrop ang jaws nila.

"What did you do?" Sabi ni Seymour, and I chuckled.

"Chill, dude. I just added a little something to the music room's aircon." Sabi ko, at nag-grimace naman sila.

Tumanaw ulit ako sa gates ng DHA, and smirked. Even Ymir was there, waiting at the gates at parang nagsususpetya.

Nagtama naman ang paningin namin, dahil medyo tinted lang ang mga windows. I was surprised when he opened the door at hinila ako palabas ng kotse pero hindi ko pinahalata. I just remained the serious and calm Xena that everyone knew.

"Xena. Umamin ka sakin. Ikaw ba may kagagawan nito?" Tanong niya sa akin, and I furrowed my brows.

"Kagagawan ng?" Tanong ko, and he groaned sabay sinipa yung can na malapit sa paa niya.

"Vance. He's in the hospital. It's just right that ikaw nga ang may kagagawan. Hindi ka ba naaawa kay Akira?" Sabi ni Ymir, and I dropped my jaw as an acting.

"Huh? Ni hindi ko nga alam kung anong hitsura nung Vince. I just know his name. What does he have to do with Akira, anyway?" Sabi ko, and he breathed in deeply sabay sinabunutan ang sarili.

"You know what? Never mind. You can't even pronounce his name properly. Get lost," sabi niya, and I shrugged sabay sumakay na ulit sa kotse.

Naglakad naman siya paalis, at pinatakbo na ni Sandy ang kotse. Lahat sila ay nakatingin sa akin, pero I never paid attention to them.

He can never intimidate me.

Nakarating na kami sa house na tinutuluyan namin kapag magkakasama lang kami. But one thing is for sure.

Apat lang kami. Sandy, Seymour, Chloè and I.

I don't like Loren and Brynn. There's something off about them that makes me wanna puke.

"Anong plano mo? Papanaluhin yung Serenity at Sakura?" Sabi ni Chloè, and I furrowed my brows.

"Kahit Shinzen pa ang manalo. Basta wag lang Delcroix at Rakuzen," sabi ko, and they chuckled.

"You sure do hate Ymir, yeah?" Sabi ni Sandy, and I smirked.

"I don't. I just don't like the fact that he get to be happy and all, and doesn't think about what I might feel. He doesn't accept me, remember?" Sabi ko, and they nodded.

"So you don't accept him, too. Typical Xena," sabi ni Chloè, and I smirked.

Yeah. Kind of.

axerre chenaire hudson.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why the hell did you not tell me, Axerre?!"

I flinched, nang sumigaw si Shin sa akin. Nasa lair kami, at kasama sina Lili, Axen, at Lexus, pati na si Rara. Nakaupo si Rara calmly sa couch, habang si Axen naman at Lexus ay nakatayo sa may bandang likod ko. It was actually awkward.

"What can I say? Ano, maniniwala agad ako?" Sagot ko naman, and he smiled maniacally.

"Oh, so after knowing about that damn Hamilton, you wouldn't believe it? Heck, I sacrificed my hand, Chenaire! For that Hamilton! For Romaine! And what do you think I feel?" Sabi ni Shin, at nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

"You... feel?" Tanong ko, at inihilamos niya yung kamay niya sa mukha niya.

"I am so done, Chenaire. I'm going," sabi niya, at naglakad palayo.

I watched as he walked away, at walang pumigil sa kanya.

Bigla naman na nagclear ng throat si Raleign, and smirked. Napatingin kaming lahat sa kanya, and to be honest? I'm pissed off at her.

I don't hate her, but I'm just really pissed off right now.

Umalis naman si Axen, sabay na umalis din si Ziro kaso nga lang ay pinigilan siya ni Raleign.

"Are you really sure about this? Hahayaan niyong umalis si Shin?" Sabi ni Lili, at tinignan ko naman siya.

"What can he do, now?" Sabi naman ni Rara, at napatingin kami sa kanya.

"What can he do? Of course, there's a lot he can do, Raleign. He can kill us, for all we know!" Sabi ni Ziro, and I was about to calm him down when he shook his head at me.

"Can you guys shut up for a bit?! Ang iingay niyo, bakit hindi natin to resolbahin?!" Sabi naman ni Lili, at napatingin kaming lahat sa kanya.

"Oh, so that's how it is. You fear a Shinzen more than you fear a Beauregard?" Sabi ni Rara, sabay ngumisi at naglakad na paalis.

Walang pumigil sa kanya, dahil litong lito na din kami sa nangyayari.

"Aalis nako. Madami pa akong homework. Screw school." Sabi ni Lili, at hinayaan nalang din namin siya.

Sumunod naman si Lexus, at naiwan akong mag isa sa lair.

It's messed up.

raleign sistine beauregard.

"Kenjin," tawag ko, pero hindi siya lumilingon.

His hair was moving along with the waves of the wind, habang nakalean siya sa bars. As expected, nahanap ko siya sa Treasure Bridge. Yung abandoned bridge na pinupuntahan namin dati na magkasama kapag kailangan namin na mapag isa and mag isip isip.

He was wearing a black hoodie and black ripped jeans, making me shake my head as I remembered the moment he used to love wearing black cloaks.

"Kenjin," tawag ko, at saka lang siya lumingon.

"Raleign," sabi niya, and I nodded.

"Do you hate me now?" Tanong ko, and he chuckled.

"It's not my fault that I kind of have a grudge on you now, right? You messed everything up." Sabi niya, and I shook my head.

"No. We messed everything up. Remember?" Sabi ko, and he shook his head.

"Don't use that word. I'm fine alone. And you planned everything, you wrapped us around your pinky finger," sabi ni Shin, and I chuckled.

"You think I don't regret that, do you?" Sabi ko, smiling sadly, and he shrugged.

"Who knows?"

Because I do.
