Chapter 18
Some of our classmate may think that our classes for today went well. But for me? It was not. Wala na naman akong kahit isang naintindihin sa mga diniscuss ng professors namin. It looks like I've become the type of student na pumasok lang para sa attendance and I hate it.
"Kat, mauna na kami sa'yo ha? May family dinner pa kasi kami," pagpapaalam ni Nicole sa'kin.
I nod my head and bid goodbye at her. Althea on the hand went home already. Nagmamadali siya kanina dahil tinawag daw siya ng parents niya.
"You look bothered, Kat." A guy from behind me spoke.
"I'm just thinking something," sagot ko kay Trent.
He is here together with me and he looks really worried. Kanina pa siya ganiyan pero palagi kong sinasabing ayos lang ako.
"You're thinking someone, Katrina. It's not something." Pagpipilit niya.
Biglang nanubig ang mata ko sa sinabi nito. He is right. I am thinking someone and that someone is Tim. Honestly, after I leave him on his office earlier, hindi na siya nawala sa utak ko.
I like him. I wouldn't deny that but I need to stop this feeling. It's not good for the both of us.
"Aray..." Bigla akong napadaing nang hinawakan ni Trent ang braso ko.
Kumunot naman ang noo niya at bahagyang tinaas ang sleeves ko. I saw how he clenched his jaw when he saw a bruise on my shoulder.
"Who did this to you, Katrina?" Mahinahon ngunit diin na tanong nito.
"Wala lang naman 'yan, Trent."
Sinubokan kong ibaba ang sleeve para matakpan ang pasa nang pinigilan niya ako.
"I am not dumb, Katrina! Last time I checked, wala ka pang pasa nong pumasok ka sa office ni kuya!" Malakas nitong sigaw.
Napalunok ako dahil nakita ko ang galit sa boses at sa mga mata nito.
"N-natamaan lang n-naman--"
"Tell me that kuya Tim didn't do that," tukoy niya sa pasa ko.
I looked down and remained silent. I couldn't utter any word.
"I'm gonna punch him hard on his face," bulong nito na narinig ko rin naman.
Tinignan ko siya at hinawakan ang braso nito. "H-hindi naman n-niya sinasadya, Trent."
He gritted his teeth. "Seriously Katrina? Hindi sinasadya? Sinaktan ka niya tapos hindi niya sinasadya?!"
Hinila niya ako sa isang bench at pinaupo do'n. He then sat beside me at hinilot ang noo niya.
"Tell me everything," bigla nitong ani.
"H-huh?"
"Kung ano ang nangyari sa office ni kuya kanina. Sabihin mo sa'kin lahat, Katrina." Aniya ng hindi tumitingin sa'kin.
"Trent, hindi naman niya s-sinadya--"
"Stop defending him, will you?!" Tumingin ito sa'kin bago nagpatuloy. "I told him not to give me some reasons na magalit sa kaniya, Katrina. But he just did!"
