---CHAPTER 6---
[Caleb's POV]
hay!!! monday na naman... time for school...
i still cant forget about last friday... when Aria sang sa beautifully... feeling ko na-iinlove na ako sa kanya... or maybe her voice?? well i dont know whatever na lang...
at school...
"yeah i thought she was a total loser... but when she sang i think i fell inlove with her... " i wonder who this dude is talking about.. maka-usap nga
"hi...can i ask who your talking about?" i told him from behind
"its only that Aria girl.." he turned around, him and his friend was shocked that it was me.. i wonder why?
"oh..why is she loser??"
"oh..i didnt mean to--"
"come on man tell me"
his friend spoke.. "dont you know that she's considered the biggest loser in this school..." what??Aria??.. " but since last friday at Amber's party... it all changed... everyones thinks that she's differnt in a good way... and now a lot of guys are falling for her... including this guy.." and tinuro niya yung kasama niya...
"oh well then that's great... i have to go now"
umalis na ako ...i have to talk to Aria...
as i was running towards the garden i heard a lot of laughing...
"loser"
"your always going to be a loser"
"freak"
"go and die"
what the hell is happening in that crowd??!!...
lumapit ako and sumiksik sa crowd ...hanggang nakita ko kung anong pinaguusapan nila...
its Aria ...
covered with eggs and flour... they are throwing eggs and flour at her...
"stop it!! stop it!!" i said as i covered Aria with my body...
"Caleb get out of there!!" Amber told me
"why are you doing this to her?!"
"cause shes a loser!" a girl shouted
"what is going on here?" thank goodness a teacher finally came
"what the hell are you all doing!!?? you all get detention !! go to your classes!!"
everyone started to leave...
i carried Aria... she's weak... some parts of her arm and legs are bleeding.. they have gone to far...
"mr. johnson! where do you think your going?"
di ko na siya pinansin ..ang mahalaga ay maalagaan ko si Aria..
i walked out of the school carrying Aria...sinakay ko siya sa kotse...
*****
[Aria's POV]
ag sakit ng katawan ko...wait bakit nakahiga ako sa malambot na kama... i can feel someone ginagamot niya ang mga sugat ko...
"gising ka na pala" si Caleb?
"where am i?"
"at my house... grabe ang ginawa nila sila... dont worry i'll make them all pay for what they did" galit niyang sabi
"thanks but no thanks... sanay naman ako sa mga pinag-gagagawa nila sakin eh..."
"what are talking about?? gusto mo ba na lagi ka nalang ganito!" galit na talaga siya
i started to cry...
"n-no..i'm tired of it"
"Aria... please dont cry... i'm sorry for raising my voice... here drink this"
inabutan niya ko ng warm milk...
"th-thanks"
"ubusin mo yan okay? kukuha lang ako ng food mo" umalis na siya
im starting to feel that i really want to die... akala ko di na ako hindi na gagrabe ang ginagawa nila sakin...but i was wrong...
"Aria ... hear's your---"
"Aria drop that!!!"
he tried to get the blade from me but i refused to give it...
"no... i want to die... i want to die"
[Caleb's POV]
she cried in my arms and she let go of the blade...
"i want to die... i want to die" she kept repeating that
"shhhh... its okay ..im here... shhhhh"
her life is precious ...she just cant see it... how can her parents let her go through this...
"keep a close eye on her" i told the maid
"yes sir"
i have to go to her apartment and get her clothes...
i was about to go inside when i heard voices from inside
"where is she??" i think its her parents
lumabas na yung mga nasa loob..and they were two men...they noticed that i was about to leave...
"hey!! who are you??" the man said
"uhmm... i just came by to see Aria... i guess she's not here" i lied
"how do you know Aria?"
"oh she's a friend of mine"
"i didnt know Aria has friends" the other man said
"well im the only one... can i ask who you are?"
"we are the people who look out for her...she's under government protection"
"government protection?"
"didnt you know? her parents left her..because they are drug pushers and now are in jail"
"what??!!" i didnt know this
"she was under the influence of drugs.. when she took drug tests it was said to be postive..that's why the government took over her.. she's been through a lot of abuse by her parents"
"well..did you know that she's always bullied at school because of that?"
"no we are not aware of that because she said that she's okay"
"she's lying... if you'll excuse me i have to go"
i left them... i cant believe she's going through this..i have to do something for her....
