Ionnah's POV

I was waiting for that Kaori girl to speak out and to admit she started the fight. Magsasalita na sana ako kaso bigla nalang siyang nagsalita.

"It wasn't me who started it."

Sh*t. What the hell is she saying?!

"That's not--

"Really, Ionnah? Ganyan ba ang natututunan mo?"

Bago pa ako makapalag ininterrupt na ako ni mommy. Why do I have to bother explaining? She'll never believe me anyway.

"You're consuming our time. Such a waste of time kung ganitong bagay rin lang mababalitaan ko. Useless."

D*mn it.

Useless.

Am I really that useless?

"Just give her the right sanction for that stupid act." tumayo na siya sa kinauupuan niya without hearing my side. "Sumunod ka nalang Denrick, bring your child. And Courtney, please excuse her, she'll be absent for her next classes."

"Yes, ma'am."

After that, I heard the sound of a door being shut.

Hindi ako makagalaw. Lumabas siya ng room without me explaining. Parang sinarhan niya ako ng karapatang magexplain. Naramdaman ko nalang may tumulong luha sa mata ko.

Stupid tears.

"I'm giving you my apology for what my daughter did--

"Don't be dad. Willing akong tanggapin ang punishment, pero ang magsorry sa kanya? Wag dad."

"Faith--

"Dad naman eh! Si mama di ako binigyan ng pagkakataong magexplain! I'm asking you this as a favor, please pagbigyan niyo ako!"

Huminga siya ng malalim

"Alright, then. We'll wait for you at the gate." he said and then left the room.

"Kaori. Alam ng buong school ang nangyari. Bakit mo binaliktad ang pangyayari? Why did you said that to Ionnah's parents?" tanong ni ate Courtney kay Kaori as soon as nakalabas si dad.

I did not let Kaori answer ate Courtey's question instead ako na ang sumagot.

"Ano pa bang rason ha Kaori? Isa lang naman ang alam ko eh. Ang sirain ako. Tama ako diba? I don't know what I did to you, for you to hate me that much na pati siraan ako sa magulang ko ginawa mo."

Tumayo ako at naglakad palabas. Habang hawak ko ang knob ng pinto tiumigil ako at nagsalita,

"Congratulations for ruining my life, Kaori. You did great. And I hope you're satisfied now. Salamat ha? SALAMAT."

And I slammed the door as hard as I can.

Pagkalabas na pagkalabas pinunasan ko yung luha ko. Nakakapagod ang umiyak, ayoko na.

"Ionnah.."

Inangat ko yung ulo ko and I was surprised na nakita si Dylan.

"Ano ginagawa mo dito--

I was surprised when he suddenly hugged me. Can I be this weak this time? I just need a hug so badly.

Dylan's POV

Di ako mapakali sa upuan ko habang hinihintay naming magumpisa yung next subject namin.

"Hoy Matt! Di ka magkandaugaga diyan! Ang likot mo!" sabi ni Rey.

"Yeah. Will you please stop moving? Nakakaurat ka na!" reklamo ni Tyrone.

"Ano ba kasi iniisip mo?" tanong ni Gab. "Keiran! Si Dylan oh di mapakali, may LQ ba kayo?"
