Chapter 15

"Uuwi na tayo, Lianna," Mommy commanded. I have no choice but to go home even though the camp isn't finish yet.

My bags and all my things are already here our car when I got inside. My mind is still spinning but I am already okay. I closed my eyes and leaned my back as I am trying to relax myself.

I passed out... again. Ang huling alaala kobago ako nahimatay ay umiiyak ako dahil sa sobrang kirot ng nararamdaman ko. Siguro naghalo-halo na kaya sinumpong na naman ako. Wala akong tulong kagabi, napagod sa mga ginawang activities, at iyong mga sama ng loob at pakiramdam ko dahil sa nalaman.

Wala rin akong ganang sagutin ang tawag ni Khiel nang makita na tumatawag ito. I turned it off and never open it again for 2 days. Saka ko lang ulit siya inopen nang Monday na.

Kate is worried when she heard the news that I passed out again.

"Sinong ka-subcamp mo?"

"Janna."

"Baka nagpagod ka kaya ka na naman sinumpong ng hika mo?"

I am too lazy and tired to respond. I continue re-writing my notes. Next week is our fourth quarter examination. I am already excited to take a vacation... and to take a break to everything.

"Ano bang mga sinalihan mong laro?"

"Masaya siya, 'di ba? Lalo na iyong amazing race!" she cheerfully said. I remained silent. On my peripheral vision, I saw her staring at me.

"Ang pinakapaborito ko sa amazing race eh 'yong sa putikan! Sumama ka siguro sa larong iyon kaya ka sobrang napagod?" still, I didn't respond.

"Are you okay?" she asked. She put her back of her hand on my neck to feel my temperature but I avoided it. She was stunned with my sudden action.

"I'm okay." I mumbled before looking away.

I focus my vision on my notebook while writing however I can still feel her eyes still staring at me. Maybe she's curious why am I suddenly being like this.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at hinarap siya.

"What am I to you?" I suddenly ask her. Her lips parted. I saw sudden confusion in her eyes but she immediately shook her head and answered my question instead.

"Friend." she muttered.

"Friend." I echoed her. I nodded and gave her a small smile.

"Why?"

"Wala lang." I bit my lower lip.

Buong maghapon akong tahimik. Napansin iyon ni Kate pero nanatili rin siyang tahimik. Magkasama pa rin naman kami pero hindi ko talaga siya kinakausap. Marahil nagtatanong na siya ngayon kung anong nangyayari sa akin at bakit ang tahimik ko pero hindi niya magawa kasi nahihiya siya o iniisip niya na baka pagod lang ako.
