Sorry for the late update..:-)
The next day, nothing has improved. Hindi pa rin ako pinapanasin nina Simon. It hurts. Akala ko ba special ako sa kanila? Bakit ganoon na lang kadali para sa kanila na bitiwan ako? Ugh, I don't really know what to do now.
"Hi, Alice," bati ko nang madatnan ko siya sa classroom after lunchbreak. Wala pa sina Simon.
"Oh, hi, did you have lunch with Gryph?" As if naman hindi niya alam. Siguro si Alice na ang bagong princess nila. I have nothing against her, but I can't help feeling jealous.
"Uh-huh," maikling sagot ko. Baka kasi hindi ko maiwasang magtanong tungkol kina Simon.
"May pinuntahan pa sina Simon. Nakipag-meet sila with other Black ShAdow members." And, I thought I have a poker face! Anyway, it's still information about them so I'll take it.
"Okay," sabi ko na kunwaring walang masyadong pakialam. But, I care! I care for those hard-headed, high pride idiots!
"So, how's Victor?" pag-iiba ko ng usapan. But, I honestly want to know about these two.
"He's fine. You know he has changed, I'm hoping it's real, anyway. The boys said so. Hindi na siya gumigimik with girls," masayang kuwento niya. So, what does that mean?
"That's good to hear. How about you two? I mean...you know," I said.
"Uhm..we're good. We're good friends, actually," nakangiting sagot niya. And, they seem okay. I mean, being good friends to Victor mean something, right? May patutunguhan... So, I guess, they don't need intervention anymore.
I feel like an outsider. I'm hurting but because of pride, I don't want to give them the pleasure to see that I am hurting because of them. But, gosh...it really hurts... especially when Simon looks at me as if he doesn't know me. And it happens a lot for the past two days.
Sometimes, I am wondering if I have to move on. Kailangan na ba talagang tanggapin na they don't want me to be their friend anymore? Do I have to insist? Should I be the one to cross the bridge? Pero, ano nga ba ang pinagmulan nito? Parang ang babaw kasi, eh.
Kahit hindi pa ganoong katagal ang friendship namin, they already play a big part in my life. They taught me to be me, to come out of my shell.
"Simon, can I talk to you?" Finally, I found the courage to approach them after class. But, he just looked at me and left. I tried appeal to the others but to no avail. Only Calan showed a little kindness to me when he pat my head, but he also left me. They all left me alone and...hurting.
"Hey, Audrey!" It was Gryph.
"Uwi ka na? Hatid na kita." yaya niya.
"Just go ahead, Gryph. May tatapusin lang ako," I did not wait for his response. I just walked away from him. I know it's not fair to be rude at him. It's like blaming him for what's happening which is not fair. But, it makes me wonder if it was a mistake to search for him. May it wasn't... Maybe it was a mistake to make looking for him a big deal. Maybe I made them think that finding Gryph was more important than my friendship with them.
I just wandered around the garden, hoping it would make me feel better. Pero, napagod lang ako sa kakalakad. My gosh, what was I thinking? I thought to rest for a while. When I realized that it's getting dark, I decided to head home.
I entered my car, which stayed most of the time at the parking lot of the school, because someone's always bringing me home, before it was Simon, and these past two days, it was Gryph. and with what's happening now, I think my car and I will be reunited again.
Hindi pa ako nakakalayo sa campus nang biglang may nakita akong lalakeng nakahandusay sa gitna nang kalsada. Recalling what happened with Calan before, I felt nervous thinking it was one of them again. Bumaba ako para i-check 'yong guy, but as I stepped out f the car, a guy approached me from somewhere. It was too late to read his intention when he grabbed me and covered my mouth with a handkerchief. Then...nothing.
