Her Name: ZOEY

Chapter 2:

                                    Zack

It's been two weeks since my heart wrecked by the girl I really love the most. Two weeks naging tambayan ko tuwing gabi ang bar. Two weeks I'm dreaming about her. Two weeks I'm crying for her and I think that two weeks is enough for my pain.

I step forward to the railings of the rooftop. Eventhough I'm depressed I still go to school. And now, it's time to quit this unfortunate life of mine.

"I QUIT! THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL CRY FOR A GIRL! I REALLY HATE YOU! YOUR ASSHOLE!  BITCH! I DON'T LOVE YOU! MAGSAMA KAYO NG LALAKE MO!  AAAAAAHHHH! " I scream over the top of my lungs. Wala naman yatang makakarinig sakin dito dahil 5th floor ang taas ng rooftop na Ito.

Tumulo na naman ang luha ko. Shit! I want to quit this life. When I was supposed to jump from this building, I heard someone chuckled. Napatingin ako sa paligid and there's nothing in here. Wala namang ibang taong makakapunta rito dahil pinagbabawal.

"Go! Jump!" Napabaling ang tingin ko sa babaeng nagsalita. She was so familiar but I can't recall her name. Alam kong nagkita na kami somewhere pero.... di ko talaga matandaan.

"Hey stupid! Jump! What a coward.!" What did she say? Parang nanginit ang ulo ko sa mga narinig ko. She remembered me of someone who has the courage to call me a coward.

Bumaba ako sa railings at hinarap ang walang hiyang babae.

"What did you say?" Pinagdilatan ko siya ng mata. Pero wala itong epekto sa kanya. Parang nageenjoy pa nga siya na nakikita akong nagagalit.

"You're stupid. Fool. And a coward." She said those words without thinking na nakakasakit na siya.

"You don't know me, so stop judging as if you know the whole story." I said those words with a cold tone.

"You lost the girl you love. She broke your heart into pieces. You are in pain right now and you want to quit your life." Namamalikmata lang ba ako? Or is it real that I saw her teary eyed. "Am I right?"

"Bro! Anong--- " napatingin ako kay Zeki na may pagkagulat sa kanyang mukha. Nakita ko rin sa likuran sina Grey at Drew.

"Tooool! Wag mo kaming----" si Drew naman parang nakakita ng multo.

Napukol ang tingin nilang tatlo sa babaeng kaharap ko. It seems like, they know this girl.

"Zoey." Grey muttered and I think it's her name, dahil napatingin ito sa direksyon niya.

Without saying a word, the girl who called me stupid walk away. Before she exited the rooftop she gave me a glance and to my friends.

Who is she?  The name Zoey ring a bell to me.

                                  * * *

"Ano ka ba naman tol! Balak mo ba talaga kaming iwan?? After ng pinagsamahan natin itatapon mo na lang iyon ng ganun-ganun nalang?? Tol! Di ko kayang mawala ka !" Kanina ko pa talaga naririnig ang pagdadrama ng Drew na'to.

We'are here at cafeteria, after the rooftop incident dinala nila ako dito. Kung nagtataka kayo kung pano nila nalaman na nasa rooftop ako, hindi ko rin alam kung bakit. Kahit ako rin nagtataka eh.

"Ang pangit mo na bro. Di kana katulad ng dati." Napatingin ako sa salamin matapos sabihin iyon ni Zeki. Then I saw my face, sa sobrang laki ng eyebags ko mas mainam Kung tawagin nalang itong eyesack.

I don't care about my looks. I don't care anymore. All I want this moment is to forget what Samantha did to me.

"Buti nalang talaga, nandun ang anghel mo tol. " napatingin ako kay Drew. Is he referring to that girl? Tss. She's not my angel I don't know her either.

"She's Zoey. Classmate siya nina Grey and Drew sa isang subject." There he goes again, reading what's on my mind. Napitingin ako kay Grey na para bang malalim ang iniisip.

"That girl was so irritating. She called me a coward without thinking that she doesn't know me yet." At kung hindi siya nandun tapos na sana ang pagdurusa ko ngayon.

"But thanks to her, you're still here talking to us and facing us with the dark circle below your eyes." Zeki stated crossed arms. They are very thankful but for me, nakakainis isipin yun.

"I need to go." Without waving on us, Grey walk throughout the cafeteria.

Sinundan lang namin siya ng tingin hanggang makalabas na siya ng pinto. Its weird, ngayon Lang iniwan ni Grey si Drew always kasi sila magkasabay nito co'z they have the same schedule. Tss, what's with you Grey?

                                     * * *

                                    Grey

Zack was so very depressed because of that Samantha. He want to end his life for that shitty thing. He doesn't know there's someone who truly love him, who get hurt seeing him in pain.

There is something I need to do so I decided na magpaalam muna sa kanila. I texted Drew and Zeki to meet me at the parking lot. I need an allies so I can pursue my plan.

Before I lead my way to the parking lot, I need to fetch someone who will be our main character to my plan, and that person is no other than....

"Hey Zoey." I called the blonde girl who is sitting at the bench.

She looked at me with her shocked face. "Grey! Kumusta siya?" She looked so worried to Zack.

"Come with me, I need to tell you something." Without her permission I grabbed her wrist at kinaladkad siya paalis.

I hope my plan will work.
