Sid...

No... It can't be you...

P-paanong??

"Anong ginagawa niyo rito?"

"S-sid.. Anong... anong..ginagawa mo rito?" I asked stuttering.

"Why are you in that black outfit?" Gray asked him suspiciously.

Kunot noo namang tiningnan kami ni Sid.

"Why are you-"

"JUST ANSWER HIM!!!" I shouted.

Both of them were shocked.

Hindi... Ayokong maniwala na siya .. No..
Please....

Sid let out a deep sigh. "What's wrong if I'm wearing black? I don't feel like wearing our uniform today. I can break the rules if I want." Iritadong sagot niya.

No... That's a lame excuse, Sid..

"Then, what are you doing here?" Gray inquired.

"I've been looking for Dina." He replied with a confused look.

"Me? Why are you...." Takang tanong ko habang nakaturo sa sarili ko.

Bakit niya ako hinahanap? May kailangan ba siya sa'kin?

"Teka nga muna, why am I the one being interrogated here? I'm the one who asked you first. What are you doing here?" Matigas niyang sabi and gave the two of us a suspicious look.

Gray smirked and put his two hands sa bulsa ng slacks niya.

"Nothing. Namamasyal lang. Masama ba?" Sagot nito kay Sid na may mapang-asar na ngisi.

Binigyan naman siya ni Sid ng matalim na tingin. "It still class hours and no one is allowed to wander in the forest."

Gray shrugged his shoulders and said, "We can break the rules if we want." He then left the two of us while smirking.

Halata kay Sid ang pagkadisgusto at pagkainis kay Gray dahil naiyukom niya ang kanyang kamao pag-alis nito. Talagang maiinis si Sid sa kanya dahil inulit lang nito ang sinabi niya kanina.

After Gray had left, the whole place was filled with silence. I was even quite surprised when Sid suddenly faced me.

"Now, let's get back to our room. Teacher Joyce had just started the class." He told me with a cold tone and started walking away from the forest while I just followed him silently.

Tahimik lang kami habang naglalakad. I can't take the scene earlier out of my mind, at ayoko ring si Sid ang pagdudahan ko..

How could it be?

Ghian had already suspected him in Nicole's case. Could it still be him?
Pero sa nakikita ko sa kanya, he's someone na hindi kayang gawin ang mga ganung bagay.

And it doesn't seem like he was the one we saw earlier. Iba ang pangangatawan ng lalaking nakita namin kanina sa pangangatawan ni Sid. Maaaring coincidence lang na nakita namin siya sa gubat after the incident occurred.

'Don't judge him by his outer appearance, Ellaine Dina. Most of the criminals wear their masks to hide their identity. Wag kang pakasisiguro. You still don't know him.'

Again, Ghian's words of wisdom flashed in my mind.

Ako nga lang ba talaga ang naniniwalang inosente siya...o sadya kayang....

Pero parang may mali eh..

Basta.. I just felt something strange...

When Ghian uttered those words...
