CASSANDRA

Chapter 9

Khalib Ramirez

'I DON'T need to fucking pretend 'cause I don't fucking know you Khalib'

It was the first time she called me by my name again. But it was lifeless.

It's been days since the two of us went outside but I still can't forget the words that she said. Who is she kidding? She don't know me? That's just bullshit! I wanted to hate her for that pero hindi ko rin maiwasang isipin kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari sa kanya. Why is she like that?!

I slammed my head on the wall. It's throbbing and the fucking reason was her. Ni hindi ko na nga kinakausap si Hazen. Wala na rin akong pakealam kung puro siya reklamo. Sometimes I want to push her away. I want to tell her to stay away but everytime I see her cry, I just can't. She's like a little sister to me.

I sighed.

Shaire has different effect on me. She also make me feel some wierd feelings long time ago but I love it.

After she said that word she immediately left at the mall. She left me dumbfounded. I can't tell of she's lying or not. Her eyes held no emotion. I've watched her talk, laugh, and smile to her friends but it didn't reach her eyes.

"Fuck. You always did this to me." I whisperd.

I stayed quiet and relax my mind. If I keep on thinking about this. It will sure make me crazy.
There's only one question running on my mind.

"What happend to you Shaire?" Iminulat ko ang mga mata ko at nakita ko nanaman ang mga bagay na yun. Isa pa to sa mga dumadagdag sa iisipin ko. I always saw glitch. It's like I'm inside a broken program or device that causes things to glitch or sometimes fade.

"Fuck."

"Dude?" Vienn came in.

"Let's eat?" He said. Tumango ako at nauna na siyang lumabas. I put on my shirt first then follow him. When I reached the kitchen I saw all of them sitting while shouting at each other. All of them is in the dining except for the one person that lingers on my mind for a few days now.

I sat near Vienn and wait for them to shut up para sabay sabay kami kumain. Vienn din't recognize me cause he's busy teasing Kaita. Shaire's bestfriend.

"All of you. Shut up." Mak said. They stop talking but they din't stop laughing.

"Where's Cass, Kai?" That man ask. Can't he live without Shaire? .

"At the roof top. I guess." Answered Kai.

"Oh. Okay."

I immediately finish my food then hurriedly went to the roof top. I'm done on keeping my self away from her. I'll felt like I go crazy if I don't see her.

I've look at each corner of the rooftop but I din't found anyone. I don't see even Shaire's shadow. I heard a raging sound of a bigbike and there I saw her riding that bigbike like she owns the road.

"What a stubborn woman you are..." I whispered.

I stare at the sky for a few minutes before I decided to left the roof top. I might just took a sleep. I'm tired. I sighed.

Too much of her.

"IT'S TOO boring!" reklamo ni Kai habang kumakain ng biscuit.

"Yeah, I agree." said Selene. It's been days since that situation happened and we still din't talk nor see each other. Not that I want to see him. Why would I want to see that freaking man? Damn!
