Chapter 9

Sorry

I was full of shit.

I was full of freaking bull.

Oh, gods.

It's been a week since the incident I fucked up. I was a drunk dude, spitting words I was never sure of. Nahihiya ako at nagtatago simula ng araw na 'yon. I am not sure if he fucked his manager and what the ever loving fuck should I care about?

Because I am jealous, no riddle fucks! I am jealous!

It took me a minute after I walked away before I realized I was jealous shit and wanted to be near him every time. I was becoming a cavewoman. My emotions messed me up big time. I like him very, very much it is scary to conclude about this feeling.

October 31, I spent Halloween, alone in hotel room because I was terrified he'll confronted me. I disposed my phone and bought a new one. I only got Leigh's, tito Fernando's, Davina, and my family's contact...and of course, I knew his number I don't need to note about it. I memorized every darn digit.

Hindi pa 'ko umuuwing bahay simula ng pangyayaring iyon. It is almost an hour drive from Westchester County to the Academy. I never contacted him. Hindi ko alam kung anong ginawa niya. I don't know because I am hiding.

Alone, painting on one side of the room, I am breathing a sigh in nth times.

"You okay, del Rey?"

Nag-angat ako ng tingin at muntik ko ng mabitawan ang brush sa aking mga kamay sa taong nagtanong sa akin nito. My lips parted, consuming everything. The great Leigh Scarlett Sy Alegre asked me I am okay? That's....holy fuck.

"Am I dreaming?" I asked myself. Tinapik ko ang pisngi ko ng isang malakas. "Lana, wake up!" sunod ko sabay angat muli ng tingin. Leigh Scarlett is crossing her arms and rolling her fierce eyes toward me. "Oh, my gods. I am not dreaming!" I said goofily.

Magsasalita na sana si Leigh ngunit inunahan ko.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Kinda sad. But I'm good..." sabay tawa.

Nag-iba ang ekspresyon ng kanyang mukha. I know my smile is not really a happy smile. Halatang napansin niya iyon ngunit kahit ganoon ay nakataas pa rin ang isang kilay niya. That made my smile slightly genuine.

"If that's about an asshole, go tell him, fuck himself..." aniya sabay tingin sa aking buhok.

I even dyed my hair into shades of purple and light gray. I am so bored and I experimented my hair.

I grinned.

"But it is me being a bitch, Le."

Her eyes glowered.

"Then go fuck yourself," she snarled.

And I darn laughed out loud, full-bellied, that attract our instructor's attention. Napatayo kaagad ako upang humingi ng paumanhin sa kanya pati na rin sa klase. Ngunit nang umupo ako ay wala na si Leigh sa akin harapan at bumalik na sa kanyang pwesto. Tumunog ang telepono ko na nagpakabog ng aking dibdib. My thought drifted immediately to Sebastian. That makes me kinda sad again.

Kinuha ko sa breast pocket ang aking phone.

Nanlaki ang aking mata nang makita kung sino ang nagpadala ng mensahe sa akin.

From Le:

Wanna go somewhere?

Tinignan ko ang pwesto niya at sakto namang papaiwas si Leigh. Magtitipa na sana ako ng mensahe nang may ipadala ulit siya.
