Celestial Chords (Ciudad de Escalante #3)

Phase 08

Like what Krissena said, Alexandro's presence is missing in their house. Maganda iyon dahil hindi mag-iinit ang ulo ko ngayong araw. Gaya ng pinagkakaabalahan naming tatlo kapag magkakasama, nagkakalat lang kami sa kusina at nag-iimbento ng pwedeng makain.

"I don't know where did she get the audacity to grab my hair while I can break her bones?" Sameera said while narrating what she did with her classmate.

"Pinatulan mo na naman? Aren't you scared? You can go to jail. Animal abuse is also a crime," sambit ko at ipinasok na sa oven ang ginawa kong muffin.

There's a bitch in her school that keeps claiming that Sameera is jealous to her. Kami rin ni Krissena nasasabihan ng ganoon at sanayan nalang talaga. I don't know what they're up to.

"Yes, napunta kami sa guidance kahapon. How dare she? Why would I be jealous on a barbie like her?" utas ni Sameera habang naglalagay ng frosting sa mga muffins na ginagawa.

"Blessed their delusional heart. Why don't they just used their money to buy a personality, or they can eat their makeup so they can be at least pretty inside," Krissena stated.

May nakwento rin siya kanina na may babaeng gumagaya sa kanyang makeup look at hairstyle. Ayos lang naman na may kapareha pero iyong gagayahin yung damit at poses mo sa mga pictures, tapos nirerephrase ang tweets mo para i-tweet din?

Argh. Have some originality naman. Hindi pwedeng nakabakasyon lang lagi ang utak.

"How about you, Rishan? Is Wynona the fake bothering you again?" Sameera asked me about the girl I fought last time.

"Not anymore. Summer is coming. Maybe she's busy finding a place far from heat. Baka matunaw. People hate the smell of burning plastic."

It's Wynona from Ridgeview University. She's super fake that even China denied that they made her. Nakipagkaibigan sa akin para lang makakuha ng impormasyon. She told everyone that I was only pretending as a lesbian to make boys curious about me.

Pakialam ko ba sa mga lalaki?

The three of us continue to vent out our frustrations. Mula sa mga walang magawa sa buhay, bagong lalandiin at plano namin pagkatapos ng graduation. Hindi pa ako handa sa kolehiyo. Parang masyado pa akong bata at nakadepende kay Papa.

After baking some muffins and inventing a recipe for our dinner, we all decided to play games and watched horror movies. Ito lang ang laging ginagawa namin kapag tamad kaming mag-club at uminom sa labas.

We are in the middle of watching the part where the demonic spirit will appear at any moment, but a horrific face from Alexandro greets us instead of a ghost.

"Kuya! Akala ko ba hindi ka uuwi?" gulantang na tanong ni Sena nang humarang siya sa tv kung saan kami nanonood. We are too focus and we didn't notice that he walked inside Sena's room.

Mabigat at madilim ang kanyang mata nang bumaling siya sa akin. I swallowed hard when I felt that he's angry at me the way he stares. Ano na namang problema niya?

"Come with me. Let's talk," he announced in the most serious tone that I heard from him. Napapitlag ako nang hawakan niya ng mahigpit ang aking braso para patayuin.

"Can't you talk here? Don't grab her tightly like that!" Sameera exclaimed and tried to remove his hand on my arm.

"It's okay, Eera. Tanggalin mo nga! Sasama naman ako," I declared but he didn't listen.

His hand remained on my arm and dragged me out of the room. Susunod na sana sina Sameera at Sena ngunit pinahinto sila ni Alexandro.

"I need to talk to her... alone," madiin niyang sabi at hinila ako palabas.
