"Allie," Aisly called me with her serious face.
"What is it?" I feel nervous just looking at her serious face. What did I do? Did she find out that I drank alcohol last time?
"Are you taking drugs?" I was taken aback when she asked me. How did she find out? But I don't take it often though.
"Why are you asking me that? Are you insane to ask me that? How could you ask that? As if I could take drugs." That was the longest sentence I ever told her.
"What I mean is your medicine. You had a headache yesterday, right?" She asked me with confusion on her face.
"Ah! yeah yeah." And I nervously laugh.
After that conversation, she seems like she's thinking deeply. She spaces out many times this day.
"Allie, meet me after class, please," Aisly said to me and walked towards her classroom.
-------------------
"Allie, tell me the truth. Why are you always with Jing and his gang? Did they force you to come with them?" Aisly asked.
"What? No." I instantly replied.
"Then explain. Why are you always with them?" She asked impatiently.
"Allie, are you taking illegal drugs?" Aisly asked after a couple of minutes that I did not reply.
Hindi ako makasagot. Alam ko hindi 'yon palagi, hindi ako lagi kumakain ng gummy bear na 'yon. Matagal ko na alam, alam kong illegal na droga 'yon simula nang malaman ko ang epekto non sa 'kin.
"Answer me!" Aisly shouted with her teary eyes.
"Hindi naman palagi.." I said almost whispering.
"What do you mean? So, you're taking illegal drugs? What the heck, Allie?!!" She angrily asked. Her eyes are full of tears now, I know that she's not crying because she's sad or surprised, she's crying because she's frustrated and angry.
"Yes, but only when I'm with Jing," I said with a low voice.
"What do you mean 'only when I'm with Jing'? You're always with them after class!" She shouted angrily at me.
"No.."
"Ha! 'No..' Stop seeing them! Please! Allie, wake up! It is not good for you to be with them! Stop talking with them!" I can see that she is so frustrated right now, but I can't stop my body from wanting more of those gummy bears... I can't stop..
My cellphone rang, Jing is calling.
"No! Alliee! Stop right there! You'll meet them again. Please stop seeing them" Oniria clings to my legs, stopping me from meeting Jing. Aisly is heavy, she's smaller than me but she's chubby.
-----------------
After we argue earlier, Aisly never left my side an she always clings to me. Kulang nalang itali niya ko sa upuan o kaya ay ilock and pinto ng bahay nila para hindi ako makalabas.
Meanwhile, I can't escape the side effects of the drug, I was restless and I can't sleep because I did not take those gummy bears today, my hands are sweaty and unsettled.
----------------------
After those incidents, I was rushed to the hospital. Hindi ako mapakali at minsan ay natulak ko pa nang malakas si Aisly dahil gusto ko nang kumain ulit ng gummy bear, hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko at gusto pa ring i-take ang drugs.
Finally, my parents gave me attention after that, Aisly reported to the police and Jing, Mike, also Eugene was taken to the custody, hindi na ako binalitaan pa nila Aisly at ipinadala pa ako sa rehabilitation center para mabantayan ako.
I'm still inside, healing...
