"Anong nangyari sa 'yo?" I turned to Red again to wave as he walked backward. Pag ito natumba, tatawanan ko talaga siya.
Lumingon ako kay Clara na nakatayo malapit sa pinto ng silid.
"I'm not feeling well." nilagpasan ko siya at pumasok na.
"Hala! Dahil ba nagpaulan tayo kagabi?" nervousness is obvious in her voice. She really thought I don't feel well because we got rained last night? I almost chuckled thinking about the real reason why I don't feel well today. Who's gonna tell her?
"It's not because of that. I just don't feel well." she extended her hand to put the back of her hand on my forehead to feel if I'm hot or not.
"Hindi ka naman mainit. Wala ka namang lagnat." Exactly.
"Kaya nga hindi ito dahil sa ulan. Masakit lang ang katawan ko." I rest my head on my palm and closed my eyes.
"Bakit masakit ang katawan mo?" napadilat ako bigla. I glared at her, feeling a little bit impatient because of her questions.
"Hindi ko alam." I roamed my eyes around the room when I noticed something. "Where's Kiel?"
"He woke up late daw. Masakit din ang katawan. He and Blake had a sparring session yesterday. Ginawa siyang punching bag. Hindi na sparring ang tawag doon. Remind me to headlock Blake later." natawa ako dahil mukha siyang may pinaplanong kung ano na gagawin kay Blake. "Hindi ka kasi nagbabasa sa group chat!" dagdag pa niya.
"I don't use my phone that much." I said nonchalantly. I don't have the reason to use my phone.
"Of course, you are with Red 24/7, you won't need to use your phone." she rolled her eyes at me. Manakit sana ang mga mata mo.
"Do you think Blake is okay?" I asked, trying to change the topic. Her head snapped and turned to me because of my question.
I am genuinely curious because he had been so quiet these past few days. I am bothered because he isn't like that.
Isn't it worrisome if your loudest friend became so quiet?
But I think it's normal. No matter how goofy and joyful you are, there will be days that you feel like you are carrying everyone's problem. We all have bad days that we don't talk about.
Clara shrugged her shoulder and sighed. "I don't know. He doesn't share anything." she sounds sad now.
"He doesn't need to share anything if he doesn't want to. I think he only needs someone who understands him and his feelings." she nodded her head and leaned on my shoulder.
We waited for Kiel to arrive and for the class to start.
I was about to scratch my neck because it was itchy when I remembered that it has concealer. I heavily sighed. I got annoyed while applying concealer on my skin because there were a lot of them, so I asked Red to help me.
"Sit here." he said while looking up at me and took the concealer from my hand. He is now sitting on my bed. Katatapos niya lang magbihis. My eyebrows are already furrowed while looking at him. "Naiinis ako sa mukha mo." he chuckled, dimples and teeth are showing.
Sinong maiinis sa mukha na 'to, eh ang gwapo? Siyempre ako lang.
"Why are you inis? You said I'm pogi." he pulled my hand to make me sit on his lap. Hindi ako sumagot. "Sungit." he kissed my cheek before tilting my head to the right to see my neck better.
"I'm sorry. Hindi ko na dadamihan next time." sumimangot ako dahil parang hindi niya naman magagawa iyon. He started applying on the part where the hickeys are. From my neck, to my collar bone.
