FLORIAN'S P.O.V.
Do I really deserve her?
O tama talaga si Lhor? Na hindi ko siya kayang protektahan...
I hate accepting the fact pero bakit nakikita ng sarili kong mga mata kung ano'ng kayang gawin ni Rex?
I hate even white lies pero bakit hindi ko matanggap na sinasampal ako ng katotohanan?
I can see her as I was standing behind every Black Bear listening to her lead. I can see her but I am not listening to every word she's saying, but rather, I am thinking about her.
About us.
Bakit nga ba ako yung pinili niya at hindi si Lhor?
Bakit nga ba hindi si Lhor ang napili niya na mas higit naman sa akin?
Bakit ako?
I was staring at her, locking my eyes with her eyes, speaking words inside my brain. I can't even hear the words she's saying right now as if I was deaf enough to ignore the words.
Until I heard the last...
"Three O'clock pa lang naman ng madaling araw. We still have five hours to prepare bago tayo pumunta sa address na ibinigay ng taong yun. You may do whatever you want within five hours but don't be late. Kailangan natin siyang makita ngayong araw."
Those were the words I only heard.
And she stared at me with no words to be heard from her beautiful lips.
She stood up from that tidy chair she's been sitting at and approached me as if we were the only ones in this room. She's only focusing on me.
She gave me a warm hug and at that very moment nabalik ako sa katinuan at niyakap siya ng mahigpit. "Are you okay? ," she asked.
"I am now."
Saglit niyang nilingon ang Black Bears na agad yumuko sa harapan niya at lumabas sa kwartong ito. Sa huli, kaming dalawa na lang ang natitira sa kwarto at katahimikan lang ang kaya kong ibigay at this moment.
"I am tired, Florian ," she said and deeply sighed.
She's tired.
Agad ko siyang binuhat nang makatulog siya habang nakayakap sa akin.
I can feel her warmth as I carry her to her room. Maingat ko siyang inihiga sa malambot niyang kama at pinakatitigan ang anghel niyang mukha.

UNDERDOGS AND DEMONS
ActionPeople always say, never be attracted with the angelic face. They were demons. Every year, in every school, there's always a repeater and a transferee, and of course, the infamous worst section full of repeaters, gangster-like, and ill-mannered stud...
