EPILOGUE

Rock's POV

Inah Walter. Oh, so that's the name of my girl, huh. Quite simple, neat but it's really elegant and beautiful when it comes to my ears.

"So, what do we do?" I asked Mom and Dad.

My co-clan, Gio and Trevor is also here. We're planning to do that tradition. The unimaginable, crucial, brutal, unexplainable, tradition. The Fieldtrip Museum.

"I don't want her to get hurt." I said.

There's something inside me na kinakabahan sa mga mangyayari, I don't want her to get hurt, ayokong malagay siya sa panganib, ayoko rin siyang magalusan kahit na kaunti. I will be there by her side, she'll never get hurt. Fuck this tradition. This is all wrong, I know, she'll get mad.

"Rock, pumasok kana." Sabi ni Dad at inihagis sa akin ang bagpack ko.

As usual, tinakbo ko lamang ang school at palaging sa likod ako dumadaan. Minsan, sa unahan rin kaso maraming ibang students ang umaaligid sa akin so I prefer here. Ako mismo ang tumibag sa pader ng bakod na ito so I can go inside.

Neon International School

Kahit nagkaklase, I can hear her thoughts so loud, I can smell her blood, tangina ang bango.

Napapayuko na lamang tuloy ako habang pilit na hindi iniinda ang naririnig at naaamoy ko mula sa kaniya. Adik na kung adik pero nakakaadik talaga siya. God, Inah. What have you done?

"Pabibo."

God, did she just called me pabibo in her mind? Kaagad ko siyang tinitigan, she's busy looking at her empty notebook.

"Pero pogi siya, a."

Oh, really? Bigla na lamang tuloy akong napangiti habang pinapakinggan siya. She also said na sobrang putla ko kaya naman napatingin ako sa balat ko, oo nga, I'm so pale.

"Putla ano siya may leukemia?"

Mas lalo ko tuloy tinitigan ang balat ko. Am I so pale talaga in her eyes? Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang malungkot.

May nangyaring patayan sa loob ng school, halos 400 o lagpas pa daw napatay na mga studyante dahil doon sa isang serial killer na nakapasok sa Neon International School.

"Is she okay?" Bulong ko.

Magdidilim na pero naandito pa rin ako sa school. Hinahanap ko si Inah, baka mamaya pinatay siya. I can't remember, nasa plano ba ito? Yung kay Ma'am Nakajima? I'm too occupied because of her hindi ko na maalala ang alignment ng plano! Shit!

Napadaan ako sa office ni Ma'am Nakajima and by that point, I can smell her blood pero nakahalo sa ibang dugo.

She's inside. My lady is inside.

I can't do anything but to sit outside katapat ng pwesto niya, she'll never know that I'm here. She'll never know na pumunta ako rito. I can hear that she's shaking and trembling in fear.

Fuck, my poor Inah.

Two weeks cancel ang klase at two weeks rin ako hindi mapakali sa Mansion. I want to see her, I need to see her, for fuck's sake!
