" Akala ko ba aalis ka sa Zero?"

Inirapan ko lang si Damon.

" You didn't tell me we have a new member," sambit nito kay Spongebob na kakapasok lang sa driver's seat.

May bago ba kaming member?  Pinalitan ba nila ang posisyon ni Zeus?

" Do we have a new member?" tanong nito pabalik.

" Sino 'tong babaeng katabi ko?" ani Damon at tumingin saken. Napatingin din saken si Spongebob at nagkibit-balikat.

" Miss naligaw ka ata. Hindi 'to taxi___."

" AAAAAAAH!" I screamed, making them all covered their ears.

" Nakatakas ata sa Mental Hospital 'to," puna ni Gusion.

If I could only explode and kill them with me. 

" Kayo na nga may kasalanan kayo pa nagkaganyan! Bumalik na nga ako para sa inyo eh.Why are you like this?! Do you really have to be this cruel?" I gulped.
"You're not the Zero I called friends."

I tried to suppress my tears.

" Fake din ba lahat ng tawa na ___."

" This is Spongebob. Whether we win today's game or not, dedicate your lives, give your all and don't let anything stop you. Am I clear?" putol ni Spongebob sa drama ko.

" Copy that Right Rook," sabay na sambit nina Damon.

" Let's go." 

Gusto ko na talagang umiyak at sumabog. They're so insensitive!  It's true that we were taught to hold back emotions. Pero kailangan ba talaga nilang gawin saken 'to?

When the car stopped, hinintay ko silang makalabas muna. I don't want to cry so I have to keep distance. They said the code  was about a psychopath and the clue would be found here. I'm going to find that clue alone. Sino naman ang may sabing kailangan ko sila? hmph!

But the moment I stepped out of the car, they are already nowhere to be seen? Did they really leave me just like that?

They purposely made me angry! Pero kahit alam ko, nakakagalit pa rin eh.

I tried to reach out through  the earpiece.

" This is__Hello? Hello?"

THEY CUT ME OFF FROM THE LINE?!

Sumikip ang dibdib ko. I tried breathing in and out but it didn't help. I sat on the ground, hug myself and burst into tears.

" Hehehe."

Pinahid ko ang mga luha at tiningnan si Naruto.

" Hehehe Nikka laro tayo dun."

" H-indi p-wede eh. May..may laro pa ta-tayo," sambit ko na iyak pa rin ng iyak.

Looking at his dejected look, I saw myself in him. We've been excluding him in almost everything, just like what they did to me.

So I decided to accompany him.

" Ba't ka sumimangot dyan? Sa-sabi mo laro tayo," wika ko na humihikbi pa rin.

A smile plastered on his face.

" Hehehehe tara."

He grabbed my wrist and we both run towards the place with " No Entry" sign  on it.

Tinalon namin ang bakod at sabay naming sinipa ang nakalock na pintuan.

The door opened, the sound of guitar echoed in every corner.
