Lost Star

Chapter 17

It's the last day of school when everyone is excited to take a vacation. On the other hand, Christine is depressed because she noticed that Vincent is enjoying the company of the boys rather than joining her in their favorite spot.

After the last class, Vincent stayed in the room with Christine to wait for Christine's Lola.

Vincent: "Hello Christine."

Christine: "Why are you ignoring me?"

Vincent: "Am I? Then why am I here?"

Christine: "It's over."

Vincent: "Wait. What?"

Christine: "I said, it's over. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I hate you."

Vincent: "I don't understand."

Christine: "Read my lips. It is over!"

After that, Vincent hurriedly pick-up his bag and walks out of the room.

"Come back here you bitch" Christine angrily shouting at Vincent. When Ms. Carino heard the loud voice of Christine from her class session, steps out of the room and scolded her to stop shouting unpleasant words.

Christine was stunned and went back to the room where she and Vincent came from.

Vincent continues to walk away from Christine and hold back his tears until he reaches his shuttle service.

He closes his eyes pretending that he is sleeping so as nobody would ask what happened.

"I hope I will not burst into tears. Please Jesus bring me home fast." Vincent silently uttered. He feels that it is the longest 20 minutes of his life.".

Then Vincent heard Mang Vic, "Vincent woke up. You are home."

"Thank you, Mang Vic" Vincent graciously answered and got off the shuttle service. He then went straight to his room and started crying.

Jovie is wondering why Vincent, who normally stops at the kitchen to take a glass of water, went upstairs and locked himself in the room.

"Vincent, do you want me to prepare some snacks?" Ate Jovie asked and did not hear anything after that. She thought that Vincent was only tired and taking a nap.
