Spoiler Paradox (High school series 1)

Chapter 31

We spent almost two weeks now here in Calayan. So far, so good. Dahil sinadya ko na mangyari 'yon. After that scene under the rain, infront of the waterfalls. Parang bumalik ang dating ako-my old self when we started filming this movie. I prevent myself, avoided him intentionally, keeping my distance away from him. Dahil 'yon naman talaga ang plano ko simula palang.

If I could only just rewrite-or I should've just made the script. Gagawin ko ang lahat para hindi mangyari ang scene na 'yon. Selfish na kung selfish. My main goal here is to protect myself from him, even though it is impossible. He's the director, meanwhile, I'm the writer.

No, Fayre. Your main goal here is to enjoy the filming of your first movie adaptation.

But how could I even do that? If that man-probably resting or sleeping across the room from mine is always messing my head. Giving me butterflies and such! Memories I want to forget. But how could I when he's the memory itself! Every time I look at him, the fond memories are rushing back into my mind. Terrorizing and petrifying, invading my mind in a matter of seconds.

At mukhang totoong pinaglalaruan nga ako ni tadhana. Sinadya na tuwing may mangyayari sa amin ni Enzo nang biglaan, ay katulad 'yon ng mga nakaraan namin. Which is not helping me at all. If he or she having fun teasing me up there, then I won't let it happen again.

Just like now. I built the broken wall after the calamity so damn well that I survived until now. After that incident, I only talked to Enzo regarding of the filming, and afterwards hindi na ako nagsasalita. I survived two weeks, and I will until the filming ends. Lumipat na rin ako ng kwarto sa hotel kaya hindi na kami magkatabi, habang siya ay nandoon pa rin sa cottage.

Tuwing umaga ay nagpapahatid lang ako ng breakfast sa room service. Sa lunch naman ay sabay ako kay Deam at Jaehyun, minsan kasabay namin siya but I barely look at him. And when it comes to dinner, hindi ako sumasama. I explained to them once on set kung bakit, sinasabi ko lang na hindi talaga ako kumakain ng dinner at dinadamihan nalang ang pagkain ng breakfast at lunch.

Surprisingly, I get through that. Not until now...

"We will have a team dinner," he said. While standing right outside my doorstep. Wearing a white t-shirt and dark blue summer shorts. "Since last night na natin ngayon," he added.

I stared at him for a moment. His expression is blank, just like what I'm doing now while gripping hard the doorknob. Para hindi niya makita na wala nang epekto ang imahe niya sa akin, ang biglaang pagkatok niya sa gitna ng gabi at masilayan siya. "Okay, susunod ako." I replied in monotonous.

He nodded at tahimik na umalis. Saglit pa akong napatulala at isinara na ang pinto nang matauhan. Hindi ko sure kung dinner lang kaya I need to be prepared. I wore a one-piece bikini under my dark blue denim shorts and a gray hanging blouse. I put my hair into a half ponytail, revealing half of my hair dyed in pink champagne color.

"Oh! Miss author!" Sigaw ni Ashley, yung production assistant. Siguro ay nakadami na rin siya ng inom kaya ganiyan na, she's usually shy and quiet. Iba talaga ang nagagawa ng alak.

Ngumiti lang ako and I occupied the seat beside Deam. Who's now frowning at me habang sumisimsim ng alak.

"What took you so long?" Tanong niya.

I shrugged. "Nagpaganda," bulong ko.

"I'm sure something is behind that denim shorts and hanging blouse," pang-uusisa ng baklang manager ni Deam na nasa harap niya ngayon, nasa kabilang side ng table at katabi si Enzo. Nagkantyawan naman ang ibang staff na nakaupo sa long table.

"Guys, you all making her uncomfortable," pabulong na sita ni Enzo pero hindi 'yon nakatakas sa pandinig ko.

I was about to react when Ashley suddenly stood up from her seat. Raise her bottle of beer and shout. "Cheers for the last night here in Calayan!"
