Santillian Series 1: Santillian in Distress

SD 11

South's

"You should've been there and dictate to me what I should say"  I poke myself repeatedly as I catch on what I said to Asher last Monday. Isang linggo nalang ang natitira at tuluyan na kaming hindi magkikita ni Lance. I want to hear his confession before we part ways, what happened last week keep on filling the empty spaces in my mind, it always come back to me, what I expected would happen and I what I did to Asher and I always felt guilt whenever I thought of that

"Ikaw naman kasi sissy, hindi din kasi maganda na umasa ka na mag coconfess talaga siya sayo. Malay mo hindi pala.." West aforementioned. I was hurt to the fact that maybe he wasn't really going to confess his feelings maybe what he said was true na 'yun lang 'yun baka hindi talaga niya nakalimutan

"But still, you should keep your hopes high tulad nga ng sabi mo diba? Walang mawawala sa'yo pag nagexpect ka" North  comforted me with he shoulders at si West at East pina-pat yung back ko

"At isa pa, this is just the beginning for the two of you. Ikaw at si Asher, maaagapan mo pa naman 'yun knowing him from your stories he will easily forgive you" East said as she laid he back to the head board

Me and my sisters were supposed to have our E. Night a.k.a Entertainment Night plano ni West pumunta sa bar at isama kami all of us insisted maliban kay North, she was so strict. Gurang na talaga 'to sa aking paningin na dinaig pa si Mommy sa pagiging strikta kahit na kasama naman siya. She said that it was too risky for us kasi graduating na kami

"Why is she so superstitious? " Badtrip na humiga si East sa kama niya at nag pagulong gulong dahil hindi napagbigyan

I neglected her behavior because something complicated was running in my mind. Thinking what I should do, sa Monday hindi ko na alam kung kanino ako sasama. I will feel lonely and abandoned, that's for sure

"Thinking about them? Make yourself busy sissy, don't make your world revolved to those guys have a life" She was bearing her sweet smile and I nodded, somehow I take her advice seriously when she has that smile it was a smile my sisters have to push me into something great in my life

"Yeah, you girls are the best when it comes to cheering me up" I joined her in her bed with a hug and we both went asleep

3:35 am

"E-east?" I said in my drowsy voice as I cleared my vision. She 'ssh'ed and she left tip toeing. I went back to my deep slumber

I woke up late the other day and stayed in the library kaysa mapagalitan ako ng Economics prof ko. Yesterday I was sleeping at sinita ako ng librarian so I needed to find another space for me to sleep hanggang sa nakaaabot ako sa mga benches, I sat on the bench where I took a picture of Asher, where we first met and almost became friends that time.

Nakatulog ako ng mahimbing with my hanky covering my face ng may magtanggal do'n

"Gosh—" Napaangat ako ng makita ko si Lance na may malawak na ngiti holding my hanky high

"Cutting classes?" Umayos ako ng upo at tumabi siya sakin he leaned his back against the wooden bench-board and sighed

"It's been a tough year right? Four days left and we're over" Sinapak ko siya at nawala ang ka-dramahan niya

"Over ka diyan, hindi ganu'n ang tunay na friendship Lance, isip nga" biro ko and he laughed with me

"I didn't said that the 'over' was about us. It's about me and Phoebe" I intently looked at him puzzled. Bakit? Mag bre-break na ba sila? Aalis na ban g bansa si Phoebe? O baka naman mamamatay na siya?
