"Where are we going?" He mumbled something pero hindi ko narinig.

"Pinagtitinginan tayo..." Hmm, wala paring imik. "Cross, yung kamay ko." puna ko na dahil kanina niya pa iyon hawak-hawak habang hinihila ako papalabas ng campus.

I skipped class yesterday due to the incident; would it be okay if I skipped today too?

Hmm, ayos lang naman siguro dahil kasama ko si Cross na hindi papasok ngayon. Wala naman akong reklamo sa kung anong trip ng lalaking 'to, ang akin lang ay hawak niya ako't hindi ako kumportable roon.

My palms are calloused, may sugat pa. Hindi malambot at sobrang dry. Nakakahiya dahil ininsulto niya nga ako noong nakaraang araw dahil sa magaspang kong kamay. Pero nakakatawa at hindi sumagi sa isip kong bawiin iyon kanina, ngayon palang.

Ha, what now Rubianna?

Siguro dahil masakit ang katawan ko? I haven't still recover from yesterday and I am barely keeping up with him and Aoike this morning. Halos nakalimutan ko ngang plano kong mapag-isa ngayon dahil sa mga nangyayari pero heto ako ngayon kasama ang lalaking hindi ko rin alam bakit ako sumama sa kanya.

Inabot nalang kami sa parking lot bago kami huminto sa tapat ng sasakyan niya. Binitawan niya rin ako sa wakas matapos hatakin sa harapan ng shotgun seat.

"Hop in." utos nito saka lumibot sa driver's seat. Bagaman nag aalangan, sumakay parin ako.

Pano kasi zero gravity ang harapan ng kotse niya tapos ang ganda ng upuan. Kahit papano, makaka relax ako.

Hehe. Hindi naman siguro masama kung pagsamantalahan ko ang pagkakataong ito. I just hope he'll bring me to somewhere nice and peaceful, hindi gaya dito sa school.

I thought I'd never see him with such calm in his eyes after catching his gaze on mine.

They were full of contradictory feelings, but madness, hatred, and yearning won out. To be honest, I was pulled to such emotions and attempted several times to mentally summon some of them out from his eyes, but I gave up just now because everything vanished as we arrived at this Japanese-themed park. 

Everything went peaceful to me, even those eyes.

I sip my ice-cold canned coffee, savoring the drink as a gentle breeze brushes my hair. It's nice, but I'm not entirely refreshed by the scene around me.

The person beside me, sitting silently, makes me anxious. Did he bring me here just to watch him zone out?

I glance at the extra drinks he bought, grateful but confused. I've already downed three cans of coffee, while Cross sits motionless, lost in thought, staring into the distance.
