The Phonograph 1.0

Xiara POV

This all seem so familiar. But why do it seemed so familiar? I've been thinking about it these past few days. It's familiar not because I've seen it. It's frustrating! I'm not even listening to the teacher's lectures anymore because this stuffs occupied my psychotic little brilliant brain.

The others bombarded me questions the moment I walked into the classroom. Others meaning Sam and friends. But I didn't answer most of their questions. They're giving me weird glances the whole time. Hindi pa rin ako sanay sa ganito. I don't have friends. I keep my distance. I don't really like attachments. I don't like those kind of risk which I can't analyze.

Malapit ng matapos ang huling klase namin and I'm itching to go out. Waiting always feel excruciating.

"Class dismiss."

Finally! I stand up and ready to go out when a hand hold my arm and I look at Drake.

"I'm going with you." He said and let go of my arm.

"Where are you going?" I heard Sam asked but I just walked pass her. "I'm going with you!" she added.

Blake is waiting outside my classroom and he automatically smiled the moment he saw me. Unlike his twin who's grumpy.

"Hi." Sabi niya at nagpatuloy na ako sa paglalakad. "You're coming too?" I heard him asked. Probably because of Sam and friends.

"Xiara wait!" I heard Drake at tumigil ako sa pag lalakad at lumingon sa kanila. "I think we should get our car first bago tayo pumunta dun para makaalis tayo kaagad."

"Okay." Sabi ko at nagpatuloy na sa pag lalakad.

May pinag-uusapan sila but I'm more occupied on thinking some other stuffs. Should I tell them who I saw down there? They're not going to believe me anyway so why bother. And I don't want them involve in any of this. I already have a feeling that this is not good.

"Sa akin ka sasakay." Sabi ni Blake sabay akbay sakin. Nagiging komportable na siya sakin. Pasimple kong hinawi ang kamay niya na nakaakbay sakin at binuksan niya ang pinto ng shutgun seat sa kotse niya.

Nung nasa labas na kami ng old gate, I immediately got out of the car and so does Blake.

"Xiara ako na ang kukuha sa phonograph." Sabi niya nang akmang bubuksan ko na ang old gate. It's not lock pero may padlock na nakasabit dito and the gate is all rusty.

"Kami na ni Blake ang kukuha." Sabi naman ni Drake at binuksan na ang gate.

Agad naman silang pumasok dalawa para kunin ang phonograph.

"Isn't this stealing?" tanong ni Yvonne.

"It's borrowing." I said without looking at her. I can see the old building from here. I still don't get why they didn't renovate it. It can be use and they shouldn't let it go to waste or something happened here before?

"Borrowing from who?" Brix asked and I didn't answer. I'm already done with that conversation earlier with the twins.

"Xiara, why do you need a phonograph? No one uses that today." Said Freddie.

"And you got that from there? Ano pang nakita mo sa underground?" Carly asked curiously.

"Stuffs." I answered her.

"You don't like talking much." Brix commented and I look at him. They say photographers took photo in things that can caught their attention or interests them. First impression on Brix, he look like he doesn't want to be involve in anyones business and he doesn't want anyone to mind his business. So why is he here? What caught his attention?
