Inhale. Exhale.
"Hooh!" I made a deep sigh as I started to walk on the school's hallway. And just like the old times, they greeted me with pleasure and hospitality. Some smiled sweetly while some just nodded and made my way.
Me? Being the girl who's everybody's Miss perfect still like the old times. . .pretending that everything was fine. I kept on smiling, act nice and even wave to those people who smiled at me. Just like how it used to be.
But I know that some people are not the same anymore. After what Chloe did to me, alam kong marami na rin ang ayaw sakin pero hindi lang nila pinapahalata. After that malicious photo of me with different guys, nawala ako sa school for almost 2 months kaya hindi maiiwasang may mga maling chismiss na pinag-uusapan ang mga taong walang alam.
But I am still Yllana Zoe Alegre. This is me and no one will gonna mess with me just like what Chloe did.
Pinagpatuloy ko lang ang paglalakad ko kahit may iilang nagbubulungan at umiiwas ng tingin sakin. Final exam will be a month ahead at kailangan kong makabawi sa mga absences ko. Yon nga lang dahil nasa kabilang side ang Chemistry building, kailangan ko pang dumaan sa soccer field.
My heart was racing for the fact na posibleng makita ko si Rylle dito sa field. But I don't have a choice kaya kahit ang lakas ng kaba ko ay patay malisya akong naglakad sa gilid.
But I felt someone was watching me right after few seconds kaya pinilit kong huminga ng malalim at mas binilisan ang hakbang ko. But I stop on the ground when a soccer ball rolls towards me. Kusang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko.
Hindi ako nakagalaw at nanatiling nakatitig lang ako sa bola. Not until a familiar shoes suddenly showed up beside the ball. Para akong tumakbo ng ilang milya sa bilis ng tahip sa dibdib ko. I'm trembling. God! He's still has this effect on me.
"Zoe."
I bit my lower lip hard. Ayukong umiyak. Ayuko. As much as I want to live peacefully where no one was hurting, kailangan kong kontolin ang emotion ko. I'm Yllana Zoe and just like how it always used to be, I pretended to be fine and lift up my head to face him. But the moment our eyes met, a familiar pain strike right straight to my heart.
I still remember how we ended our relationship. Masakit pa rin pala na maalala yon lalo pa't minahal ko siya ng sobra. He never trusted me at mas pinili niyang paniwalaan ang mga pictures na si Chloe ang may pakana.
"Zoe." His voice was still the same. . sweet and caring. But even though he still occupies my heart, hindi na pwede. I can't seem to be happy again because of Chloe. Ayuko nang maulit ang nangyari. Chloe ruin her life because of Rylle, and being with him reminds me on how Chloe almost end up my life. We didn't deserve each other.
"I've gotta go." I smiled at him. He eyed me closely but I choose to pretend and be fine. "Nice to see you again." Then I walk briefly. Pero kahit ilang hakbang na ang nagawa ko, still I can feel Rylle's eyes are glued on me. I tried not to shed tears pero napaiyak pa rin ako.
