Hey, Sandy

CHAPTER SIX

CALL

Life without Sandy is somewhat dull. I don't know how to describe this but it feels incomplete. So much emptiness.

After the letter incident, me and Miggy has been planning our way to talk to one of the minions of the seniors. But they seem so distant that we can't even see one of them after class. Which made me frustrated day by day.

I always think too much that even in my class I space out and can't even cooperate. This plan is eating my sanity out!

"I hope you understand our lesson for today! Class dismisses!"

I got out of our room as soon as the class ended and saw Miggy leaning on the wall across waiting for me. I called him and nudge him to follow me. He walks beside me then hand me his phone.

"What's this?" I asked

"I ask someone to help me get one of those seniors their number and luckily he has one yeheeey!!!"

He even claps his hands and jump. I look at him shockingly.

"How and Who did you asked for this?" I asked suspiciously. He shrugged his shoulder as if it's nothing.

"It doesn't matter. We have someone now!" he exclaimed. I stood there curious of who's someone did he asked for it. But I shrugged it off and just follow Miggy to the cafeteria.

Yeah, it doesn't matter. What matter now is we can finally ask for some information of Sandy's doing.

"So, what do you wanna eat? Do you want rice with adobo? Or with caldereta? Lumpia?" he immediately asks as soon as I sat across him in his chosen table. I told him what I want and he flee to the counter.

Miggy is enthusiastic. He is full of energy and friendly. And I know also that he doesn't want to get involve with dangerous events. So, I don't think he would befriend anyone in those circles, would he? I don't think so.

Later that afternoon we are on his place planning on what should we tell the person we're about to call that we wanted information of Sandy. Or does he even know Sandy personally? Does he even saw her with their superior?

"Shall we call now?" he asks. I look at him and nod. He nods too and start dialing the number.

It took three rings and someone answer on the other line. We look at each other and wait for it to speak.

"Hello? Who's this?" the man on the other line spoke. I poke Miggy to answer it and he did.

"Uh, are you Kevin Solarez?"

"Yes, I am. Who are you?"

We can feel his annoyance on the other line that added to my nervousness.

Shit, are we gonna get in trouble? Ofcourse, Idiot! Stupid fool, the moment you plan all of this you are already in trouble!

I hissed to myself.

"This is Miguel, we just want to ask if we could meet tomorrow? We just wanted to ask some important matter about something"

The other line got silent for a moment. So, we look at the phone if the call ended but it's not.

"Miguel? Miguel Chavez?" Kevin Solarez asks. That made me look at Miggy mysteriously. How did he know him?

"Y-Yeah, haha How did you know? Anyway, could we meet?" he laughs nervously at that.

"Sure, meet me outside the campus at 4 pm sharp" Kevin Solarez said then the line ended.

Miggy look at me cautiously and put his phone inside his pocket while I look at him mysteriously.

He smiles at me and stood up.

"He probably knows me because I got a lot of friends inside the campus. Right?" he explains. He seems so nervous and bothered.

I sigh and stood up to pat his shoulder.

"Good luck! I'll see you at your funeral after the meet tomorrow. I'll make sure to donate boxes of coffee and biscuits. Okay?" I jokingly said to him. His eyes got big at what he heard and jokingly punch my shoulder.

"Noooooo! WTF man? I'm not ready to die yet"

He even knocks on his wooden table three times. Probably to shoo away what I said. I laugh at his state.

**

I was on my way home when my phone rang. I look at the caller and saw my mom's name.

"Mom?"

"Kuya... Mom and Dad are fighting. I'm scared."

"What? Where are you?" I asked. Hurriedly run to find a cab.

"I'm in my room. They are so loud, kuya..."

The anxiety is very evident in his voice. I cursed in my head thinking that this might trigger his seizure.

"Okay, listen to me I want you to close your door and then go to your bed. Try to cover your ears and don't listen to them. Understand?"

"But I can still hear them, kuya"

"Just think of happy thoughts and wait for me. I am almost there"
