ED's POV

"Gin, nagmamadali ka ba? Sure ka na ba?" Tanong sakin ni Snyder pinag-uusapan kasi namin ang kasal ko. Tumango lang ako bilang tugon. Minamadali na ng parents namin ang kasal. Mas excited pa nga ang daddy ko at madalas na syang tumatawag.

Nakatambay kami dito sa mansion ng Montenegro. "Dapat pogi ka ngayon kasi grad ball nyo diba?" Nagtaas baba pa ng kilay si Chase. Wala ngayon si Morty, nagsabi rin sya na bago ako ikasal saka sya babalik.

"Mamaya pa naman 'yon..." pero kating-kati na ko na makita si Montenegro. Panyamot kasi si Alleyna eh, laging sinasama si Montenegro kung saan-saan.

"May duet kayo mamaya diba? Anong susuotin nyo?" Tanong naman ni Lay.

"COUPLE SHIRT IS THE BEEEST! ヽ(゚∀゚)ノ" sigaw ni Chase na galak na galak sa sinabi nya.

"Ang bading mo dude! Couple shirt? Ang baduy mo!" Singhal ni Snyder. Sumimangot naman si Chase. "Bitter ka lang Snyder, wala ka kasing love life kaya manahimik ka nalang dyan" saad ni Lay. Napanguso nalang si Snyder.

"Pupunta na 'kong school." Sabi ko sabay tayo at diretso sa sasakyan ko.

Pagkadating ko ng school, dumiretso agad ako sa audio room. Nasilayan ko pa ang mga officers na busyng busy sa pagseset-up ng stage para mamaya. Nagkalat din ang mga may special performance.

"Dude? Will you join us for lunch?" Tanong sakin ni Kier. Umiling ako. "Nakita mo si Montenegro?"

"I saw her with Christene earlier."

"Geh pre, salamat." I tapped his shoulder and walked away. Kanina ko pa sya hindi macontact. Ayokong mag-isip ng masamang pangyayari pero hindi ko maiwasan. Saglit akong tumigil sa paglalakad para pakalmahin ang sarili ko. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I have this fear of losing her.

I felt warm arms wrapping my waist from my back. Relief crawled my system. "Sorry, hindi na kitㅡ "
I kissed her forehead. "It's alright you're here now." Nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Tangnang paranoia 'to.

"Lunch tayo?" She asked. "Sure!"

Pagkatapos naming kumain, bumalik din agad kami sa school.

"Ito susuotin natin mamaya." May kinuha syang dalawang itim na t-shirt sa bag nya at inabot sakin ang isa. Kunot-noo kong tinignan ang shirt bago ko kinuha. "I can buy you a nice dress..."

"No need, baka wala kang pambili. Okay na 'yan." I chuckled a little. She didn't know that I'm a billionaire and I'm 20x richer than her. "Oo nga, wala akong pambili." Tinignan ko ang design ng shirt. Pinacustomized nya pa ito. "I like it." Sabi ko, ngumiti naman sya. "Sobrang pangit ko pala dati." She softly chuckled.

Umiling ako, "ako rin, ampangit" tinuro ko 'yung shirt na hawak nya. Ang nakalagay kasi sa shirt ko I love this nerd tapos may picture nya sa gitna. 'Yung kanya naman, I love this geek tapos may picture ko sa gitna. Nakakatawa 'yung itsura ng shirt namin but I find it sweet.

"Akala ko ayaw mo ng ganyan."

"Not really... this is cool, I love it..."

Suot na namin ang shirt. I couldn't help but smile. I'm holding her hand while making our way to the stage. She seemed so nervous. "Nikakabahan ako baka pumiyok ako..."

"Don't be, nandito naman ako. Just look at me okay?" Tumango lang sya. Sumenyas na ang operator at pinatugtog na ang kakantahin namin. Maraming umattend ng gradball, pero hindi naman ako kinabahan.

(Hani)
♪I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!

(Me)
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
Just in case I ever need 'em again someday,
I've been setting aside time,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

[Chorus]
(Both)
All I wanna do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
Ooo hooow

[Verse 2]
(Hani)
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs,
I know that it's out there,
There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere!

(Me)
I've been looking for someone to shed some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions.

[Chorus]
(Both)
All I wanna do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
And if I open my heart again,
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end!

(Hani)
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

[Chorus]
(Both)
All I wanna do is find a way back into love,
I can't make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I'll be there for you in the end!

"Wow, I knew you're a great singer! Pero mas magaling ka kapag kaduet mo si Hani." June said while tapping my back. I smiled at him and made my way through the halls.

Humiwalay kasi sakin si Montenegro matapos ang performance. She said she would like to express her gratitude for Alleyna. The microphone slipped from my hand and touched the ground. It didn't feel so right, yet I allowed her cause she seemed so happy.

Nagpalinga-linga ako ngunit hindi ko parin sya mahanap. May humatak lang sakin kaya ako napatigil. "Gin!" It was Sot he looked so happy. "Oh, Sot..."

"Finally! May donor na si Ate! Si Christene ang nagsabi na may kakilala daw sya na willing magdonate! Gagaling na si ate! Malaki 'yung chance na magising na sya" napangiti din ako sa sinabi nya though I can't remember his sister's name anymore. "That's good news...nasa'n naman ba si Logros?"

Umiling lang si Sot. Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit kinabahan ako ng bahagya. Kinuha ko ang cp ko at sinubukang tawagan si Montenegro pero out of reach ang linya nya. Napansin ko na nakatingin parin sakin si Sot. "May problema ba?"

"Si Hani kasi, nagpaalam sya na pupuntahan lang si Logros saglit pero hindi ko sya makita...ugh nevermind dude. Baka napaparanoid nanaman ako..."

"Nope, I'll ask the others... don't worry." Tinapik ni Sot ang balikat ko at nagjog sya papunta kayna Kier.

Pinuntahan ko lahat ng madalas na tambayan ni Montenegro pero hindi ko parin sya nakita.

Tumakbo sakin papalapit si June. Hinihingal pa sya bago magsalita. "Christene is missing."

"S-si Hani din."
