In the eyes of others

Sarah's Pov

I don't know what happened between Seira and Elia. We asked, but sasabihin nya lang everytime that everythings okay. It's only a momentary separation.

How can she still hope that she'll be back when Seira's engagement to Lucas has been confirmed and voice out to the whole world. Their wedding is next month.

Excited ang lahat.

Except samin. Lalo na ang kaibigan ko.

"Nasaan si Elia?" tanong ko sa tatlong bagong transfer dito. Arcane, Aideen and ang medyo tahimik na si Neisha. And there's the cold one Raven with her best friend Clayren. Wala sila dito,  hindi yun sumasama samin. And I feel something about those two.

I've known na cousin sila ni Seira. Kilalang kilala kaya ang angkan nila.

Their transfer here had the whole school shaken. They own this school but ngayon lang sila dito nag-aral. And it's odd.

Aideen is busy flirting with Zia na kita sa mukha nito ang pagka-irita. She can't focus on reading lalo na't todo daldal ito sakanya with pa hamplos pa. Zia's straight as a metal. Kahit ano landi mo hindi yan effective. Siguro pag naging isa kang fictional character na kinababaliwan nya. Baka sakaling lingunin ka nyan. Baka lang. Well, free naman umasa.

They have been following Elia the moment they transfer here. Para silang aso, palagi nakabuntot sa kaibigan ko.

"Pumuntang cr, Neisha is with her." Arcane is the one who answered. Just like what Elia said, she's like a gangster. Palagi din siyang nakangisi. Playful na ngiti. And the other one? Aideen, she's always wearing that flirty smile and an expression that she's always up to something. Magkapariha silang dalawa.

I'm worried about Elia. Palagi nalang siyang may ginagawang kalokuhan. I can't count ilang detention na siya this semester. Pinagtri-tripan nya kasi kahit sino.

I'm just surprised the Dean hasn't kick her out. Maybe because kasama nya itong tatlo. Pinagtatangol siya. Siya naman tawa lang ng tawa. But I can feel that it's a force one. She's forcing herself.

Alam namin sobrang nasasaktan na siya.

Wala kaming magawa. All we can do is watch her not to do stupid things. But nasa buting pagiisip pa naman siya. At least she's not drinking or flirting. Siya pa nga tumatangi pag may lumalandi sa kanya. Saying she's straight and kung lalaki naman, her reason is she's a lesbian.

Mostly na lumapit sa kanya ay mga babae since they heard the break up between the popular couple of the campus.

And now, that position is ours na ng baby ko.

And she's busy, my Stella is busy. Siya kasi ang gumagawa sa mga trabahong dapat kay Seira. Kawawa nga ang girlfriend ko.

Seira is still here, but hindi na namin siya medyo nakikita. Not like before na parang kahit saan bigla nalang siyang sumulpot pag may lumandi kay Elia.

Ngayon? Tanging pagmasid lang sa malayo ang magagawa ng kaibigan ko kahit nasa isang paaralan lang sila at ilang hakbang ang layo.
