Keya's POV

"Keya, she's back." Mahinang sabi ni Sel sakin while handing me back the red sticky note with a "You'll die!"-note na siyang nakita ko sa locker ko.


I looked at them with confusion, disbelief, and worry. I know for sure that I'm not afraid to her. Natatakot lang ako sa kung ano ang pwede niyang gawin sa mga mahal ko sa buhay. I can defend myself physically, but I'm not sure if I can do the same when she'll hit me emotionally.

"How? I thought she was gone?" -nagtatakang tanong ko sa kanila.

"Or maybe napagtripan ka lang ng ibang estudyante? You know their games." -kontra ni Cyell sa iniisip namin.

"It can't be that simple Cyell. We know really well kung pano gumanti ang mga estudyante dito. They don't do sticky notes. Besides, she's the only one who threatens Keya like that. And the penmanship, it's hers." -Joy explained na nagpaisip samin.


"But how did she managed to put it inside your locker? Outsiders are strictly prohibited to enter our academy. Unless... " -pambitin ni Eicy.

"Unless what?" -I impatiently asked.

"Unless someone did it for her." -Eicy finished.

*Riiiing Riiiiing*

Naagaw ng atensiyon namin ang pagtunog ng phone ko tanda na may tumatawag.

I immediately accepted the call and was greeted by my boyfriend.

Nagsign ako ng wait sa mga kaibigan ko and then mouthed 'Dale' para iinform sila kung sino ang tumawag.

Lumayo muna ako sa mga kasama ko while they continued to talk about the note.

"Where are you?" -mahinahong tanong niya sakin sa kabilang linya.

Napatingin ako bigla sa oras ng phone ko at biglang napatampal sa noo nang makitang 5:30 na. We were caught up by the note na hindi na namin namalayan ang oras.

"Omoo! I'm sorry boyfriend ko. Hindi namin napansin ang oras. And to answer you question, nasa may locker kami. Sorry talaga." -tarantang paliwanag ko. He sure hates to wait pero when it comes to me, he's always this patient. Buti nalang.

"It's okay. Pumunta na kayo dito. My friends and I are waiting. And please, hurry up, okay? Baka pagsarhan kayo jan. Guards often lock every room at this time of the day." -paalala niya.

"I totally forgot about that. Okay, I need to go. Love you!" -I hurriedly told him and then hung up.

Napalapit ako sa mga kaibigan ko after that.

"Guys we need to go na. Kanina pa daw sila naghihintay sa parking lot." -aya ko sa kanila.

"What about the note?" Tanong sakin ni Joy.

"Sa bahay nalang." -I answered tsaka ako nagpatiuna sa paglakad. Naramdaman ko naman ang pagsunod nila kaya dinalihan ko na ang paglakad.

---

It only took us 5 minutes bago marating ang parking lot.

"Finally, you're all here!" -masiglang sambit ni Terrence nang makitang palapit na kami sa kanila.

Sinalubong naman ako ni Dale sabay akbay sakin.

"Guys! Kay Dale ako sasabay ngayon ha?" -paalam ko sa mga kaibigan ko na tanging tango lang ang naisagot.

Nakita kong nakipag-usap pa ang mga kaibigan ko sa mga lalake bago ako tuluyang makapasok sa sasakyan ni Dale.

Umikot naman ang kasama ko papuntang driver's seat.

"Seatbelt, please." Paalala niya so I fixed mine and then he drove.

Dahil nga malapit lang ang bahay namin sa Academy at walang traffic ay mabilis lang kaming narakating sa bahay.

I was about to get out of the car but he held me up by holding my hand and pulling me back to the passenger seat.

"Wh-why?" -gulat na tanong ko dahil sa naging akto niya.

"You have a problem." -he seriously told me completely ignoring my question.


"No, I don't." -pagtanggi ko but his expression clearly showed me he wasn't convinced.

"Don't lie to me, please. I know there's something bothering you. It's all written in your face." -he pleaded while having this worried look.


"I'm just tired. Okay? I'll get better when I get 'lil rest." I reasoned out.

He sighed after what I said. Unti-unti niyang binitawan ang pagkakahawak sa kamay ko.

"If that's what you want me to believe. Then, I will. Just remember that I'm always ready to listen." -saad niya totally giving up asking what my problem is. And I'm thankful because he did.

"I'm so lucky to have you." I told him out of the blue which made him smile a bit.

"I'll tell you, I promise. But now, is not the right time." -I admitted tsaka ako lumabas sa car niya.

"Take care, okay? Text me you get home. And I love you boyfriend." -I stated for the last time and when I heard his 'I love you, too' I closed the door of his car and watched him drove his way.
