REN and The Heartless Devil

CHAPTER LVI

Wednesday and the first thing that greeted me as arrived at school are his cold eyes. Looking at me blankly like I wasn't there. I have not seen him yesterday, I was occupied with my studies maraming exams and projects na dapat tapusin. And Magi said that Victoria came during lunch to fetch him kaya hindi din kami nagkita during lunch break. My heart still stings hindi naman kasi ganun kadali mawala yung feelings. I meet his eyes with the same coldness for a fleeting second and shifted my gaze away from him like I don't give a damn about his presence. And continued walking.

"Wow bago yun ah, walang pansinan" Yuri bumped my shoulder when she said that. She sounded happy, sya kasi ang unang naapektuhan pag malungkot ako. "Move on, move on na talaga ang drama natin no?"

"This is what he wants Yuri, I am just helping him. I am tired of fighting for both of us, fighting over shits that really don't mean a thing in the end. He already let go of the thread that binds us and I should do the same." It won't be easy I know pero alam kong kaya ko 'to. I have Yuri with me so as Brylle and the gang.

"Don't worry Gab we got your back. Hindi ka nag-iisa okay, marami kaming sumusuporta sayo" she gives me a genuine smile as we keep on walking towards our room. I know Yuri. Kaya malakas ang loob ko because I know they are with me in this.

"Ren, Yuri good morning!" masiglang salubong sa amin ni Magi. "Look pinagbake tayo ni mommy ng black forest." Kita kong yung medyo malaking box ng cake sa tabi nya. I am happy for all their efforts to cheer me up. Kaya I should also do my share of the bargain. I give her a smile and greeted back.

"You look okay today" Drake said as I settled beside him.

"Just today?" I raised my brow teasingly at him. Alam ko naman kung anong ibig nyang sabihin. I look messed up for the past few days. I was just trying to lighten up the atmosphere. Mapakita man lang sa kanila na okay lang ako, that they don't have to worry about me anymore.

He's shocked from my playful respond for several seconds. "Welcome back" he said with wide smile after he recovered, he even tap my shoulder. I returned his smile, it feels good to be back.

The class ended well at ngayon nga ay papunta na kami sa cafeteria. I am excited for Tita Audrey's cake. "Lubayan mo nga yang cake Gab para ka namang hindi pa nakatikim nyan, kulang nalang maglaway ka." Pabirong sita sa akin ni Yuri, I can't help it. My eyes are glued on the box Drake is carrying.

"Shut up Yuri, I am not looking at it" labas sa ilong kong sagot sa kanya. My eyes not leaving the poor box.

"Yeah, yeah right. Kaya pala kulang nalang sakmalin mo yung box no." She scoffed pero hindi ko na sya pinansin malapit na din kasi kami sa cafeteria. "Oy ang dadaya nyo ah, hindi nyo kami hinintay" Yuri joke as soon as we reached our table.
