Ravage | SKYA book 2 [COMPLETED]

22nd: Unexpected Fight

Nang dumating ang dismissal ay mabilis akong umalis ng Academy. Hindi ko na rin inabalang mag paalam sakanila Kierra ng personal at itinext nalang sila na sa bahay ulit ako tutuloy.

I want to spent more time with Casteen. I can't imagine how she spent three years inside the Amaranth building without anyone knowing she exist. She doesn't deserve that.

'We'll buy clothes tomorrow for socials, are you coming with us?' Reply ni Kierra sa text ko na agad ko rin namang nireplyan.

'Sure' tanging sagot ko rito kahit pa may nakabili na ako ng ilang accessories na gagamitin ko sa socials.

Wala rin naman akong plano dito sa bahay bukas at baka mapapayag ko naman si Mama na ilabas ko si Casteen.

For sure, she'll love it. Just one 'yes' from Mama and we're good.

"Hi ate!" Isang matinis na boses mula sa isang batang babae ang sumalubong sa akin pagkabukas ko ng pintuan.

She'll never gonna stop talking. Here she goes.

"Helloooo" Patakbo kong salubong rito at agad na binuhat siya nang makalapit siya sa akin.

Saglit itong yumakap at agad ring humiwalay ngunit hindi ko ito ibinaba at tuluyang pumasok sa sala. Nang makaupo ay tsaka ko lang napansin ang hawak nito na kanina niya pa tinitignan kaya pala hindi niya ako tinitignan at dailan ng katahimikan niya.

"what's that?" Tanong ko rito sa hawak hawak nitong frame habang may mga pangalang ibinubulong habang itinuturo ang picture.

"It's you" kasabay nang pagsabi niya niyan ay inilapag nito ang litrato sa harap ko at ipinakita sakin kung sino ang nasa picture

"and your friends" malaking ngiting tuloy nito

It's us. Me, Kierra, Vienna, Vivienne, Brynn, Hailey, Amanda, Asche, Zayd, Quen, Nathan, Bryon,Traze, Travis, Raven, Rancor, Jin, Saji, Kendric, Aeco, Adlie, Kyo, Tres, and Riley. I cut pictures of everyone and put it here. A frame where we are complete.

"Y-yeah" tango ko sa kapatid ko at pilit na itinago ang kumakawalang mapait na ngiti.

I wish we can have a photo all together and put it in a frame, display it in our rooms, and look at it as we reminisce moments after decades. But it will never happen because we'll never be completed, except for this photo collage.

"why are you holding this?" Tanong ko rito habang abala siya sa pag tingin sa picture

Another reason why we can't have a photo together, is because what we have before, is not the same with what we have right now.

Tables have turned. Things have changed.

"I also want to have friends ate. I want them to be like your friends. They all seem nice" ngiti nito at muling tinitigan ang picture frame.

They all are. Because I'm not going to be friends with them if they're not.

But...

"You know what?" Kinalong ko muli ito

"you should wish for you to have better friends than mine" matamlay kong ngiti rito

I'm not going to talk bad about them, they don't deserve it. Even if I don't understand a lot of thing going on with them lately.

"Why ate? Aren't they the best friends?" Tanong ni Casteen sabay turo sa picture

"There will always a better version" ngiti ko rito na dahan dahan niya namang ikinatango
