CHAOS AND STORMS

“saan ba tayo pupunta?” willow asked us. we're walking through the hallways of the second building and hindi namin alam kung saan kami pupunta.

“sa conference room tayo magtatago” thorn said as we followed him. i noticed he's a bit off ever since they opened the topic that his own girlfriend is cheating on him.

he spoke less, he ignored everyone else na nakakasama namin and it seems like he’s already giving the cold shoulders to willow.

“do you have the keys to it?” willow asked again. i heard loud scoffs from beside me and hindi na ako magtataka na may galit sila kay willow dahil nga sa ginawa niya.

she saw cassidy and paris rolling their eyes at willow as willow just puts her head down while walking. she felt guilty, of course sino ba naman hindi maaawa sa ginawa niya kay thorn na sobrang loyal sa kanya.

nakarating na kami sa tapat ng conference room nang biglang dumaan ang malakas na ihip ng hangin sabay na rin ang mahinang patak ng ulan. thorn then immediately opened the room kasi hindi na namin kinakaya ang lamig dito sa labas.

we hurried inside not leaving one of us alone outside so that we’re safe in numbers in case something happens.

“tatago na lang ba tayo hanggang mag-umaga?” i heard the hint of annoyance in ryker’s question and wala naman kami ibang magagawa pa kundi ang magtago muna.

i sat down on the floor pulling down ryker to come sit beside me. kilala ko itong kaibigan ko pag malapit na mag-alburoto sa inis kaya hinayaan ko siya kumalma while we come up with an idea on how to escape whatever the hell is happening in this university.

“we have no choice but stay in the night, ry” paris explained and she’s right. we have no idea what to do and no idea how to leave with the heavy weather stopping us. “then come up with a plan” ryker said na parang nagagalit ito sa hindi namin malamang dahilan. biglang tumahimik and wala ni isa sumabat sa sinabi ni ryker kasi nga wala kaming ideya pa.

“why are you so upset all of a sudden? it's not like ginusto natin ito diba?” paris spoke breaking the silence.

“oops” priam said and earned a light slap from felicity. “what? baka nga mag-away??” rinig ko pang tanong nito kaya pinatahimik muna siya ni felicity at astrid.

“away magkaibigan lang ba or may somethi—” priam was cut off with cassidy covering his mouth and pushing him to a side na malayo kina ryker to avoid conflicts.

both ryker and paris glared at priam as he now raised his hands in defeat at saka ito tumigil sa kaka-dada ng kung ano ano.

“i mean, hindi sana tayo magtatagal dito sa university kung maaga sana natapos yung filming” ryker says eyeing someone from the room.

napatingin ako kay astrid na parang gusto na sampalin si ryker sa sobrang init ng ulo nito ngayon.

“so, are you blaming us kaya tayo na-stuck dito?” astrid asked and i do not like where this is heading. “guys, that's enough” guile stated at sinubukang putulin yung sumbatan nila.

i panicked a bit kasi hindi ko gustong nagagalit isa sa kanila, especially when it's ryker, paris or thorn who’ll snapped.

“whose idea was it na magtagal dito?” ryker asked again and konting konti na lang is kita kong sasabog na sa inis si paris at thorn.
