Vagary Demeanor (T.R.A.V.E.L SERIES #4)

Chapter 13

---

I made a face because of what he said. Pinagmasdan ko siya ng matagal bago tumayo na. Malelate na kami.

"I guess," sagot ko bago umalis.

Tutal siya lang rin naman ang tumatawag saking Emiliana. And also, sabi niya before, I'm his Emiliana because it means enemy. Ni hindi ko nga pala iyon naconfirm.

Napataas kilay ako ng di ko maramdaman ang pagsunod nito. Nang nilingon ko siya ay nakita ko ang bibig nitong nakaawang habang nakasunod sakin ng tingin.

His ears look red too or am I just imagining things. I shrugged.

I raised a brow before turning around again. Bahala siya malate, ang bagal niya!

Hindi naman nag tagal nang makarating ako sa room ay sumunod siya. Hindi niya na ako naabutan sa paglalakad tapos medyo hingal ito. I'm guessing nagtagal siya doon, or maybe he used a banyo.

Dumating rin ang teacher namin after him so hindi siya late.

"Good afternoon, children." Bati nito. He's a Korean teacher who teaches Music.

"Good afternoon, Sir!"

"I guess you already know about the one month break you'll have after this week." He stated.

Nag yes naman ang mga estudyante dito. I also nodded.

I felt Dirv move kaya napalingon ako dito, he's leaning on the chair, his elbow on my chair. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay bago nilingon ulit ang prof. Nakapangalumbaba kasi ito at nakatingin doon.

"We offer tours during that time. For those students who want to travel South Korea, Jeju Island in specific, you can join. I'll be part of your tour guides. Registration will be at the gymnasium later at 3pm after your class."

"Tara, Emiliana." Napaigtad ako dahil sa biglaang bulong ni Dirvin sa tenga ko.

Nanlaki pa ang mata ko dahil nabigla sa lapit ng mukha niya. Napasinghap ako bago napaiwas ng tingin at nilingon nalang ulit ang teacher namin. Leaning on the desk because my heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It keeps on beating fast.

Nagwawala iyon!

"That's it. Now, I'm gonna have mind games for you. Let's start…"

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. Should I join? Pero kasi, one month iyon, mabuti sana kung one week lang. I should study. And baka hindi rin ako payagan nila Mommy because I'm the top 2 now.

Napapikit nalang ako ng mariin. I can already feel my father's anger. I just know he'll talk about that.

When the one month vacation started, I woke up late. Monday pa magsisimula iyong travel dito. And guess what? Napilit nga ako ni Dirv sumama.

Kailan ba hindi?

He's such a persistent ass!

I didn't tell my parents about it. I can't believe I'm hiding something from them. I feel like I'm doing something so bad. Parang a sin.

I don't want to call them. For sure they'll ask about my ranking for this quarter and I'm not ready to get acolded yet. Vacation naman, can I enjoy it?

I just don't want to talk about those… things.

I sighed.

I've decided to just pack my things kahit hindi pa naman mag Monday. Sa Monday pa kami aalis eh, we're gonna tour around jeju island, we'll do the activities there.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mga pwedeng gawin doon. I didn't do my research and I don't want to do it either. Para surprise nalang pagdating doon.

And we'll have a tour guide naman, ayos na ring meron because we're all still minors.
