BELLA

I quickly turned down Lola's suggestion on me transferring to another school.

She's afraid my mental health will completely fail if I'll stay. We did went to a therapist for my whole summer break and I was able to realize what I should do.

I shouldn't run away like what I did before. I have to turn off the fire and trace down the cause of this misery.

But before I deal with the storm, I have to fix something first.

First day of enrollment ngayon and I'm sure ngayon sila pupunta. Maaga akong nagbihis at nag-ayos para magpa-enroll din.

Nakasuot lang ako ng cropped top na manipis lang ang tela kasi alam kong mataas ang linya ngayong araw. Ayokong pagpawisan ng sobra. Pares naman nito ay isang high-waisted mom jeans at white rubber shoes.

Pagpasok pa lang sa gate, napansin kong tinitignan na ako ng mga tao. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba alam nila ang nangyari sa akin o sadyang tumingin lang talaga sila sa akin pero hindi ko na binigyang-pansin ang titig nila.

Kinakabahan lang siguro ako para mamaya kaya parang balewala nalang ang mga tingin nila sa akin.

I clutched onto my chest out of nervousness. Anong gagawin ko kapag nakita ko sila?

Right, I don't have a plan. What should I do? What should I say? I keep on repeating those questions in my mind.

Papasok na sana ako sa elevator kaso may kumalabit sa akin na naging dahilan ng paghinto ko.

"Bella! I didn't know you were admitted to a hospital? I heard Kulas hadn't gotten any sleep and skipped trainings because of you," Frans informed me.

She must be referring to Sebastian because I heard her calling the guy 'Kulas' before.

But wait, he skipped his trainings because of me?

"Kayo na ba?" she asked out of the blue.

What? Where did she get the idea na kami na? Is it because Sebastian was watching over me for a few days?

Naalala ko na may something pala sila ni Sebastian. Wait...

It can't be...

Hindi pa man ako nakasagot ay nagsalita siyang muli.

"I saw the two of you sharing one bed so I'm guessing na you're dating already," she gave me a smile and I can clearly sense na it's a forced one.

Paano niya nalaman? Bumisita rin ba siya sa hospital nung araw na 'yon?

"He's my childhood friend Frans. Please don't get the wrong idea," I assured her.

Her tensed shoulders relaxed. She gave me a smile before patting my shoulders. "Oh, that's good. Well, I need to go na pala Bella. See you when I see you!" nakipagbeso siya sa akin bago siya tuluyang umalis.

I stared at her back.

Something's really off about Frans recently.

Napailing na lang ako sa naisip. Busy lang siguro si Frans kaya she's acting differently lately.

"Frans!" I called her name and she shot back a questioning look.

She's been with me for a long time already. Isa siya sa mga nandito sa tabi ko pagkatapos ng nangyari sa akin. I think she understands me even though we haven't talked about my condition yet.
