This is embarrassing: waking up in a boy’s CR (yes, I made myself clear. I woke up in the boy’s CR).
I stood up but I was tied up, again. Why could my life be any worse? I looked at my phone and checked the time: 1:15 P.M.
I realized that, that sleeping scent only lasts for minutes. The next forty-five minutes will be the time of the second batch of the practice.
I need to get out here, fast. I thought.
I was trying to get out. Suddenly, someone opened the door and I realized it was Val.
Why is he really trying to help us? I thought.
He went in the comfort room and simply cut the rope. I was free.
He grabbed my arm and raised me up. “There’s no time. Let’s go.”
We went out.
What to do next? Oh, go upstairs and knock out Andie.
Your mother, I thought.
While going upstairs, I can’t handle the thing that I dropped the bag of Val and destroyed (I think) the phone of his.
Val stopped in while he was going up. I stopped too. He let his hands near his mouth and screamed something. “Putol! Tulungan mo nga yung kaibigan mo dito!”
I placed my arm on Val’s shoulder. “You don’t need to help me anymore. I’m fine but thank you for your help.”
He removed my arm like he was disgusted. “Look I’m trying to help you, okay? It’s not like I’m going to let you be harmed by some stupid girl. In fact, she just wants revenge for what you did.”
I rounded my arms. “But she already had her payback! That payback was a year, well not a year but a school year, ago. Can’t you see? She just wants us to be embarrassed or so called disgraced by Jillian. Let me guess: you’re still into this. Karl and Bruce are still there, downstairs, with Andie trying to get mad at her. And you’re still with-”
“O, ano pa ginagawa nyo diyan! Lika na ah, tulungan ko na kayo.” Jessmin interrupted and I looked at her when she said that.
I looked back at Val and gave him a sneer look. I pointed my finger on him. “I’m warning you.” I looked at Jessmin that looked terrified. “Jessmin, let’s go. Let’s leave Mr. Fantastic here.”
Jessmin and I went down and left Val in the middle of the stairs.
“Cess,” Jessmin said. “Let’s calm you down with the-”
“Calm me down, what for?” I asked.
Jessmin went in front of me, raised her arms sideways and blocked my way.
I stopped. “What is this for? Block me for… WHAT? It’s not like I’m going to somewhere.”
She dropped her arms. She smiled and said, “Change plan!”
She let her lips closer to my ear. I covered my ear with my shoulder. “Stop I’m ticklish!”
She let her face away me. “Sorry. I didn’t know that you were ticklish in the ear.”
“Well, know you know.”
“Okay, change plan. Listen.” While she was saying this, her voice was silent. “Mariya and Tracy are in the room doing some ‘change the plan’ something.”
“They are?”
“Yes! Seriously, they’re having this… this…”
“I know, I know. You don’t need to say it already. What now?”
