NOT ALL WE SEE IS TRUE {COMPLETE STORY}

chapter 26

Victoria's P.O.V

"My faults"

It was just one mistake,
It was just one lie,
But you treat me as if I need to die,
I know I'm wrong and I didn't deny.

You told me it's fine,
But I know I Cross the line.
I should stop it now,
But I don't know how.

I know how it feels,
Because, I've been there before.
It's the feeling that I want to ignore.
Crying all night, causing my eyes to sore.

If you let me explain, you'll know why,
Inside of my heart that is so shy.
I look at you, like looking at the sky,
Like a bird that wants to fly.

I've read her poem a million times, trying to figure out what happened to her. She put a note above to not read it but I can't help it. She's been spacing out in class, she tenses when someones near her. Shes being so different. Parang takot na takot siyang may lumapit sa kaniya. She rarely smile and talk to anyone. She's not like this before. I know something happened kaya siya nag kakaganito. I just don't know what.

Lumabas ako para hanapin si Red, may kaylangan akong iutos sa kaniya.

Papapunta nako sa cafeteria ng makita ko si Drake at si Xianna na nag uusap. Tumigil ako saglit at tiningnan sila. Kita kong may ibinulong si Drake dito and Xianna tense. Nag madali itong umalis.

Susundan ko sana ito ng sumulpot si Mrs. Samonte.

"There you are. The meeting is about to start. " Saad nito sakin. I nod at her at bumuntong hininga bago sumunod sa kaniya papunta sa meeting room. Mamaya ko nalang kakausapin si Xianna.

"Red! " Tawag ko dito. Kanina pakong paikot ikot kung nasaan si Xianna pero hindi ko ito makita.

"Yep? " She said and I roll my eyes.

"Can you do me a favor? " Tanong  ko. Tiningnan naman niya ako at nag isip.

"It depends kung ano ang kapalit. " Saad nito at tinaas taas baba pa ang kilay.

Haish...

"Bibilhan kita nung gusto mong cellphone. " Sagot ko dito. Nanlaki naman ang mata nito.

"Really!!? " Hindi maka paniwalang tanong nito. I just nod at her.

"Yess! Thank you, thank you! Your the best ate in the world! " Pang bobola nito sakin.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever basta gawin mo yung ipapagawa ko. "

"Game! Ano ba yan?" She said and clap.

"Bantayan mo si Xianna. " Saad ko. She look at me confused.

"Why?  anong nangyari ba kay Xianna? " Tanong nito. I sigh.

"Walang tanong tanong and do what I say. " Saad ko dito. She pursue her lips but then nod.

"Deal! " She said at nakipag fist bump sakin. I roll my eyes.

"Cool. Ohh, and specially pag si Drake ang kasama niya. " Dag dag ko. She giggle.

"Are you jealous of Drake? " Tatawa tawa niyang tanong.

"Ofcourse not! " Nakasimangot kong saad.

"Basta bantayan mo. Understood? " I said and narrow my eyes at her. She nod and salute at me. Napa iling nalang ako sa kabaliwan ng batang iyon at nag lakad na pabalik sa opisina ko.

Naupo ako sa upuan ko at nag isip ng paraan kung pano ko malalaman ang nangyari kay Xianna. Alam kong may tinatago siya. Everytime she look at me ramdam kong may gusto siyang sabihin.
