Dorothy held my arms to walk away. I can't even talk. There is something in my head. It's irritating.
I breathe in. I gently pushed my chest because I felt heavy. My eyes also went blurry... Nahihilo ako.

"Ano ba kasing ginawa mo, Dorothy?" Luci brushes her angry voice out.

"Duh? It's rock!" Dorothy defended.
"Kaya nga. Bawal sa kaniya ang maingay at mga tunog na ganiyan..."
She knew?
Luci looked at me. "Nag research ako."
