Chapter Eight

I buried my head on the pillow and screamed so loud. Why did I kiss him? Why are you acting without thinking, Court??

A beep from my phone did a good job stopping me from smacking my head non-stop. Nang makita kong galing kay Silvius iyon ay halos itapon ko iyon sa dingding. I clamly collected myself. Get it together, Courtney. I hope he wasn't harassed by my impulsiveness earlier.

Silvius
Hey! Are you home safe?

Mabilis akong nagtipa ng irereply ko sa kanya.

Courtney
Yep! Am about to sleep. U?

That's right, Courtney. We're keeping it casual.

Silvius
Can't sleep. Still thinking of your kiss.

I literally SCREAMED when I read that text. My face turned red and now I can't seem to think of a decent reply. I thought of ignoring his message but I know that I made a mistake by acting on my impulse.

Courtney
I'm sorry if you're bothered for what I did. It's just I really felt at ease when I'm with you. You also made me feel beautiful and valued earlier so that kiss was my form of gratitude.

I sighed and put my phone on the bedside table. But then, I heard it beep. Nagulat ako dahil halos tatlumpung segundo ay may reply na agad siya. His hands might be fast at typing.

Silvius
No need to apologize. I liked it and you're welcome. Always remember that you are important and you are valued, Court. And I'm always here to make you feel beautiful when you're feeling insecure. And make you happy when you feel sad.

I slept so well that night. This has been a huge step to what Silvius and I have for each other. Dati ay kalaban lang ang tingin ko sa kanya ngunit biglang nagbago ang lahat ng iyon ngayon. As we get closer and closer to each other, we also started to learn new things that both made us feel something that wasn't there before.

Maaga akong pumunta sa school nang maglunes na dahil mayroon kaming meeting sa drama club. Mortem announced that we will be having our first play this year sa Language Fest. Ang lahat ay excited, lalo na ako dahil may bago akong nobela na isinulat ko last summer.

"Courtney, ipost mo na ang names ng pasok sa club sa information board sa harap. We need to give them a brief orientation before we start our practice."

Akala ko ay makakapagpahinga na ako but I was wrong. Mas dumami pa ang aking nakatambak na gawain. I need to work double time sa club dahil busy din si Mortem sa ibang gawain na related din sa school. I am the vice president, who is also the playright, who also became the director. Mabuti naman at magagaling ang mga juniors sa pag-organisa ng props, stage, at iba pa. Our main characters were also great. I can really feel the blossom of our hard work.

I flinched when I heard something fell on the floor while the actors are reading their lines.

"Courtney, nahulog si Carlos!"

Mabilis akong tumayo at lumapit sa kanila. Carlos was surrounded by his team. He was lying helplessly on the floor, clutching his injured hand. Mayroon din siyang maliit na sugat sa gilid ng kanyang noo. I told some of the props men to carry him to the clinic para magamot siya ng nurse.

"Pano na 'yan, Courtney? Hindi pa namin tapos ang back drop ng scene four. And we also have two back drops to make. Matatagalan kami kung kami lang at wala si Carlos," nag-aalang sabi sa akin ni Emery, isa sa mga props men.
