THE UNWANTED (COMPLETED)

13-The changes

   I immediately open my eyes as I heard my alarm. I miss my alarm.

"Good morning, Friday!"

I stand up and do my morning routine. Finally, makakasabay na rin ako sa kanilang kumain.

I missed the first floor. The Dinning. The kitchen. The living room and even the people around. I feel like I was caged for a year.

"Good morning, everyone!" I greeted as I saw all of them sitting on their proper place. As usual, tita and Nicholas is the only person who saw me, or not.

"Finally, natapos din ang kaartehan mo. Happy to be taking cared of Tita?" Sarcastic na turan ni Kuya Marco. Napangiwi ako. I calmed myself.

"Hey, Marco." Saway ni Tita.

"Yes!!" Nakangiti kong sagot. Not minding his sarcasm. He just 'tsk'. I heard Nicholas giggled. I glanced at him. I saw that he thumbs up to me. I just bite my lip. Nice one.

Breakfast ended. We parted ways. Kuya Jun is asking me about my feelings. I assured him that I'm really okay.

"I'm okay now, Kuya Jun. Don't worry. I can already faced school and the people inside of it." Malaki ang ngiti ko ng sinabi ko yun. Nagbuntong-hininga siya at ngumiti. He knew that I'm telling the truth. He really knew me na.

Dumating ako sa school na maaliwalas ang mukha. I'm not smiling but I'm like 'blooming' that's what people murmuring and whispering while I'm making my way to our classroom. Pakiramdam ko, biglang sumaya ang paligid. Ow well, I have a beautiful morning. I don't mind the toxicity around me.

"Natasha!!" A familiar voice called from somewhere. I stop then find where that voice.

'Aha!' Someone is jogging towards me. Someone means Miguel. Walang iba. 'What is he doing here?' I crossed my arms infront of my chest.

"What?" Agaran kong tanong ng makalapit na siya. 'Feeling close lang.' I almost rolled my eyes.

"Hahaha ay taray." Tawa niya. Napangiwi ako. Akmang tatalikod na ako. Wala namang kwenta ang sinasabi niya. I don't have time for him. Sinisira niya ang magandang gising ko.

"Wait!" Pigil niya sa akin. Again, tinignan ko ang kamay niya, who's touching my arm. Tinanggal niya naman yun agad. "Ang impatient mo naman. Kiaga-aga ang sungit mo."

'Biro ba yun?'

"What do you want?" Pinagdiinan ko yun para malaman niyang wala akong pakialam sa mga sinasabi niya. Tumawa na naman siya. 'Is he crazy?'

"Nothing, I just saw y---" Tumalikod na talaga ako at naglakad ng mabilis. Walang kwenta nga.

"Hey!" Habol niya, tsk. Ang kulit naman nito. "Sungit mo talaga, iniisnob mo ang kapogian ko."

'Biro ba ulit yun?' I didn't answer. He murmured 'Sungit talaga, baka meron siguro.' I stop as I heard him say that.

"Oh bakit? Kakausapin mo na ba ako? Napansin mo na ba ang kapogian ko?" Sunod-sunod niyang tanong. It added a fuel to the fire.

"You know what? Ang kapal mo." Pinagdiinan ko ulit iyon sa mahinang paraan para feel na feel. "Stop tailing me, you're not my tail anyway. And please, stop talking to me. Ang feeling close mo, alam mo yun?" Pagtataray ko sa kanya. He only chuckled and murmured again. 'Meron nga.' Hinampas ko siya ng mahina sa braso.
