TGIWS: Phoenix Ryler Velasquez's POV (Complete)

Part 38

Part 38

Nasa harap ko si Darlene habang inaayos niya ang buhok niya. I looked at her from the reflection, her eyes still red because of crying, even her nose.

If I could have just rewind what happened earlier ay sasamahan ko na siya para hindi na maulit ang nangyari.

Hinila ko na siya palabas ng restroom. We stopped when we saw Harvey and our friends standing outside. See, even sila alam nilang hindi ‘yon magagawa ni Darlene.

"We all know that you can't push Iris."

Tumango kami sa sinabi ni Trevor, well except to this stupid person named Darius. For sure he's believing the lies now.

We headed to the cafeteria so Darlene could eat lunch kaso Iris and her friends showed up. Halatang gusto lapitan ni Gianna si Darlene pero hindi niya ginawa dahil nakatingin ako, same with her friends. They just stayed with Iris even if they wanted to stay with Darlene.

I rolled my eyes when I saw Darius looking at his sister. I am so pissed whenever I'm looking at his face. Nabi-bwisit ako tuwing naaalala ang nangyari kanina.

Susupalpalin ko talaga siya ng katotohanan kapag nalaman ko ang totoo. Hindi ako makasingit lalo na noong nagkainitan sina Darlene.

Hinawakan ko sa kamay si Darlene para umalis na. Nothing would happen if we stayed here.

"Oh? Are you beautiful? I can't see."

"Gano'n talaga kapag hindi ganito kaganda nakikita mo sa salamin kapag hunaharap ka. Hindi ka sanay sa maganda dahil sa itsura mo." I could sense that Darlene is too bored in this conversation. "Saka, hindi ako nagmamaganda, ah? Maganda talaga ako pero nasayo na 'yon kung inggitera ka."

Oh, that's really burnt. Ibang klase talaga sumagot si Darlene.

"Tangina, luto!"

I thought we were leaving but Darlene stopped, she looked at Iris from head to toe before rolling her eyes.

Damn.

Sinundan ko na si Darlene, but after a few steps Iris pulled her hair. Hinawakan ko agad ang kamay niya.

"Let her go, Iris!"

Halos tanggalin ko na ang kamay ni Iris sa buhok ni Darlene. Fuck! Why were their hands so tight kapag ganito?

"Fuck it. Don't touch her." I uttered while pushing her to let go of Darlene's hair.

But fuck! Iris didn't want to! Mas lalo niyang hinila ang buhok ni Darlene.

"Aray! Ano ba?! Bitawan mo ako!" Pati si Darlene inaalis na ang kamay ni Iris.

Fuck! Halos magtulungan na kami dahil ayaw talaga mag-paawat ni Iris. A glitch of irritation glimpse of their eyes when they looked at Iris.

"Darlene, stop!"

Ako ang tumigil nang marinig ang sinabi ni Darius. Pati ako naiinis sa bwisit na 'to. Tangina, bibigwasan ko talaga 'to, pigilan niyo 'ko.

"Iris! Let her fucking go!" I hissed.

"Nasasaktan ako!" Darlene shouted in pain.

I held Iris' hand. I pushed her harshly. Bumagsak siya sa sahig. Hindi niya inaasahan ang ginawa ko.

Darlene's eyes were shocked, she couldn't speak and chose to go upstairs. Tinawag pa siya ng iba pero hindi na siya lumingon. I followed her using my eyes. Nilingon ko ang iba.

"What?" I asked.

"You pushed Iris so hard. Bumalibag siya sa ginawa mo," Gianna was so shocked.

Tumingin ako kay Iris na hindi rin makapaniwala sa ginawa ko. Umiyak na agad siya.
