Chapter 4: Afflict
Kath's POV
Hi! Kathryn Kai Mercado is my name.
You can call me by that name,
But Kath is my nickname.
By the way,Naglalakad na kami galing sa crime scene. Since may 30 minutes pa kami before mag time so dumiretso kami sa tambayan namin which is behind the school building, kung saan may malaking puno.
"Umm...Leigh?"Tumingin kaming tatlo kay Jean na tinawag si Leigh.Nakakunot ang noo nya at seryoso which is not so her.
"Why?" Tanong ni Leigh na sinabayan ng taas kilay. Typical Leigh.
"Why did you freak out when that Samuel call you che?" Straight forward na tanong ni Jean. Yeah! ako rin eh kanina pa ko naku-curious kung bakit ganon nalang naging reaction ni Leigh kanina.
Buti nalang natanong ni Jean.
"Ah that? Forget that." Yan lang ang sagot ni Leigh atsaka sya nahiga at pumikit sa ilalim ng puno.
Tsk akala ko malalaman ko na kung bakit! May tinatago tong babaitang to samin eh!
"Huy! Babae! may tinatago ka samin noh!? Bakit nga?" Kinulit ko na rin si Leigh. Masyadong mapaglihim na to ngayon eh! Di naman to ganito dati ah!
Hindi nya ko sinagot, ni hindi nga manlang sya nagmulat ng mata para tignan ako eh!
Psh.
"Badtrip naman oh! Ganyanan na pala tayo ngayon. Tsk tsk" Si Jean. Nagmamaktol na naupo sa tabi ni Leigh. Nanatili naman akong nakatayo,Si Rea naupo naman sa kabilang side ni Leigh.
"Oo nga eh! akala ko ba walang maglilihim? Best of friends tayo dito,right? So why keeping secrets? psh!" Banat ko na naman. Nakakainis na kase eh!
Because of my rant,her eyes opened and looked directly to my eyes.She looked at me with her infamous bored face.Psh pa cool pa to eh!
"Yes we are best of friends here,I never forget that. But hey, I still need privacy.Sometimes it's not all about friendship it's all about trust. So if you trust me you won't questioned me keeping secrets,Let me ask, Guys do you trust me?"
"Yes, we do." Sagot naming tatlo with matching nod pa.
"See? So why bother? This won't harm any of you, Just Tsust me." She then flash a smile.
"Okay." Me and Jean said in unison. The three of us looked at Rea who didn't bother to reply.
She's directly looking at Leigh.
"I do----We do trust you, Believe me. But you're asking us to trust you while you're not Trusting me! even Jean and Kath" napataas na ang boses ni Rea.
"W-what? Hey, I trust you! All of you! Why do you think that I don't?" napaupo na si Leigh.
Patay tayo dyan.Alam ko na kasunod nito. I should be ready.
Debate is coming.
"Simple. If you trust us you won't keep that mini secret of yours." depensa ni Rea. Halatang badtrip narin.
"Ha! So ang basehan na pala ngayon ng Tiwala eh yung pagsasabi ng sekreto?"Singhal ni Leigh,badtrip narin."How about the privacy? Pano kung confidential yun masyado? Kailangang sarilinin para walang masaktan?
Konti ang nalalaman mas maganda. Dahil para sa taong yun .Pag marami kang nalalaman,balakid ka.
Hindi magdadalawang isip na iligpit ka ng taong yun pag isa ka sa magiging hadlang sakanya."
