KIAN
HINDI nga sila nagbibiro noong nakaraang linggo. They dragged me back to my old school. I refused to, but, boy, Katie is such a brat. Hindi ako tinantanan hanggang sa pumayag ako.Tsk! What am I going to do here, anyway? Just to meet Chelsea? Oh, come on. I just met her.
"Let's go~!" Excited na sabi ni Katie sa back seat.
Mom would take us to the school. And she, also, is excited as them. I would be if I still have my sight. But I don't.
"Nandito na tayo." Malambing na sabi ni mommy. Tinulungan nila akong makababa ng kotse. "I'll be back to fetch you, Kian." I nodded to her, "Arthur, call me if gusto na ni Kian umuwi."
"Yes tita." Arthur said.
"I'd like to go home. Now." I crossed arms in front of my chest at nagtaas kilay. To look more intimidating.
"No." Boses ni Raq. Nilingon ko siya, "You don't. Now, shall we go?"
Before I could answer, she locked her arms in mine and dragged me again. Argh! Natatawang sumunod sina Drake sa'min.
Habang naglalakad kami, hindi ko maiwasang marinig ang mga bulong-bulungan sa paligid. Some gasps in surprised.
"Hindi ba si Kian 'yan?"
"Huh! Siya diba 'yong grade 9 na nasagasaan last year?"
"I heard after the incident, he lost his sight."
"Poor guy. It must be hard for him."
Tumungo ang ulo ko. This is why I hate going here in the first place! They felt sympathy towards me. And I don't need their sympathy!
"It's okay, K. We're here. Don't mind them." I snapped back from my reverie when Drake tapped my right shoulder.
"Oo nga, K." Lumingkis na rin sa kabilang braso ko si Katie.
"Bitiwan niyo nga ako dalawa! Para kayong ahas na nakalingkis sa'kin." I struggled to get out from their graps. Pero mas lalo lang nilang hinigpitan.
Natatawa naman sila sa reaksyon ko. Lakas mang-asar eh. Hindi ko alam kung saan kami papunta. Pero naramdaman kong tumigil kami.
"Chelsea!" Sumigaw si Raquel.
Teka? Chelsea?
"What's your name?" Tanong ko rito.
"Chelsea."
So, andito talaga siya? Yung babaeng tinulungan ako sa mall? Bumitaw sa pagkakalingkis sa braso ko si Raq. Narinig ko ang yabag ng heels niya sa semento, tumatakbo.
"Upo ka, K." Inalalayan ako nila Arthur na umupo. Pinakiramdaman ko ang upuan ko. It's a bench.
"Hala!" Napabitaw na rin si Katie sa'kin. "Nagtext 'yong kaklase ko sa section ko. May klase na raw kami. Mauuna na ako."
"Sige, babe. Ingat." Paalam ni Arthur.
"See you later, K."
