Misfit

A/N: Short update,  but something is better than nothing. And I'm back! No regular updates but it won't take as long as this one did. I miss O, Theo and the squad. So here it is. Thank you for being with me until now!

Love, 

RNDM.

"Theo, do you think that people do things because they want to or because they have a reason to?"

We were at my room's balcony. Nakauwi na kami kanina pa at 'yong nangyari ang unang tanong niya sa'kin. Though I didn't give him an answer kasi involved na naman si Chelsea.

"O, a bit of both. Kasi at the end of the day the reason can reflect their actions. And vice versa... so it really depends."

He looked at me concerned,

"O, are you okay?"

"Yes."

"Sure?"

"Yes. Kulit mo."

"I sometimes feel like you're not okay and you're so good at hiding it that you don't even notice anymore?" Damn, bullseye.

"How come?"

"Gut feeling."

"Ulol."

"No, seriously though. I think I have some kind of magic."

"I find it effective though."

"Saan?"

"I feel like I can comfort you whenever you're in pain."

"I'm not though."

"Not feeling pain doesn't mean it's not there."

"Touché." He sighed kasi alam niya na agad ang sagot, 'di ko kayang magkwento lalo na kung involved 'yong babaeng 'yon.

"Umuwi ka na nga, Theodore. It's getting late."

"Can I sleep here?"

"Nope." I said in a monotonous tone while he pouted.

"Hindi mo 'ko madadaan sa gan'yan ngayon."

"Nag-try lang naman. 'To naman!" We went downstairs and before he left he hugged me and kissed me on my forehead.

He went to his motorcycle and before he put his helmet on, he smiled at me and waved. I nodded.

Pumasok na 'ko sa loob.

I know I promised Theo I won't work during school fest, but I might bend it a little bit.

I called Ate Jane for an update about the Xianons cause their child is acting again.

"So Sierra, here's what happened, when you started to own their corporation without making changes in their system, there are some reports in some departments saying that we're removing employees."

"As far as I remember 'di tayo nagpapatanggal ng mga tao? What is the HR doing?"

"I think may connections ang mga Xianons do'n. They were allowing employees to move out of this company slowly kaya 'di nahahalata ng higher ups."

"And how did you get hold of this, Ate?" I heard her sigh.

"Connections as well. You know how powerful your name is. More than the Xianons. I don't usually introduce myself for safety reasons na din."

"I understand, please keep on invesigating and gathering evidences against them. I was nice enough to let them handle the company even though it's failing and they're doing this to me?" Fuck.
