Dreams of Tomorrow | Book 1 (UNDER-EDITING)

Chapter 74

After Shawn and Elizabeth talked, we decided to continue the conversation at lunch break para kasama namin ang aming mga friends.

2 subjects had passed and it's finally lunch break. Hindi namin pinili na kumain sa cafeteria because it's a crowded place at baka marinig pa nila Jessica ang pag-uusapan namin. We decided to eat in the field, may seats and tables naman doon kaya the problem solved na at naka-order na rin kami ng lunch namin. Mula nung makabalik si Jessica kasama ang mga minions niya dito sa school, nawala ang sandaling peace dito because nang-bully nanaman siya. 

"Okay, sana walang makakita sa 'tin dito," Sambit ni Gwen. 

"Alright, let's start with the conversation." I said while eating some burger. 

"Wait, wait.. Naguguluhan talaga ako. Elizabeth, would you mind if you'll tell us the whole story?" Kaydence asked. 

"Y-yes, I'll tell you everything. B-but, paano kung mahuli nila ako?"

"Kami ang bahala sa 'y---" Sabay sabay pa naming sabi nila Gwen at Kay. 

Tumingin ako sa dalawang lalaki, si Shawn na nakasuot ng reading glasses while his hair's messy at nakikipag-share ng fries kay Ryden.

"I'll record everything, just in case," Shawn said calmly. He looked at me and smiled secretly. Bumalik ang tingin ko kanila Elizabeth at natawa ng mahina. 

"I'll start... Rallianne," She looked at me. Nagulat ako because I heard my name. "You're a victim. Sila 'yung tumulak sa 'yo nung nasa comfort room ka. Jessica, Yamia, Hayleigh and... M-me." Nagulat kaming lahat sa huli niyang sinabi, she's involved. How does that happened?

"Yamia was so jealous of you. Pinili nila akong mapasama sa kanila. I was the one who called them na papunta ka sa c-comfort room. Everything was planned by J-Jessica..." She said and suddenly shed a tear. Kinuha ko ang tissue sa bag ko at binigay sa kaniya. 

"Kaydence, I saw everything. Sa library, I was there, studying. Nakita ko biglang pumasok si Hayleigh at Jessica sa library... Hayleigh hates you so much, s-she even told me na... P-Pahamakin ka. They're the one who pushed that book shelves, at nung natapos na nila 'yung ginawa nila. They acted like nothing happened..."

"How cruel is that gi--" Tatayo na sana si Kaydence nang pigilan siya ni Gwen. 

"I-I'm sorry..."

"No, Elizabeth. You're a victim too, pero, we still need proof," I said. 

"Yes, Rallianne's right. Kung pupunta tayo sa Dean's office na walang evidence, baka tayo pa 'yung maakusahan na sinungaling." Sabi ni Gwen. 

"Continue lang Elizabeth." Ryden said. 

"Now, Gwenevere. Si Jessica ang nag-lason sayo, and it's pretty obvious. She really don't like you, nag-gawa siya ng mga fake rumors about you. Talk bad about you and... She's your--- I'm sorry. I'm telling this because, nasasakal na 'ko... Lagi nila akong kinakawawa. They even threatened my family, please. Help me," Tears started falling galing sa kaniyang mata. 

"Here, water." Bigay ni Kay sa kaniya. 

"Thanks..." Hinintay muna namin siyang mag-calm bago mag proceed sa iba pa niyang sasabihin. "Here's the proof," Elizabeth said at nilapag ang phone niya sa gitna ng table. "Navoice-record ko 'yung ibang sinabi nila." She said and played the voice record. 

"Ugh, that Gwenevere is so annoying."

"Ano ka ba Jessica, paulit-ulit mo na lang 'yan sinasabi."

"Tsk! Tumahimik ka Yamia. Mabuti na lang at nakapaghiganti na 'ko sa mangaagaw na babaeng 'yun." Tumawa ang isang babae. "Ay, by the way. Ikaw Elizabeth! Tatanga-tanga ka na lang lagi! Go back to your mayamang ex-boyfriend and give us all his money!"
