delcroix heirs' academy ✔ chapter twenty three

theia celestine greene.

Nakauwi na din kami, at sinasabi ko, kawawa talaga si Harvee. Sadyang ang daming binili ni Sev.

Bumili ba naman siya ng limang soccer balls, tatlong goalkeeper gloves at mga clothes? Hindi lang 'yun, bumili pa siya ng mga sapatos, ha?

Goal niya yatang pahirapan si Harvee.

Bumili naman ako ng books, at si Gabrielle ay bumili ng albums, at si Axelle ay bumili ng brushes and paints and whatever.

Matutulog na ako. I turned off my lights, and humiga na sa bed. Ipinikit ko na rin ang mata ko, and said good night to earth.

Aw. Ang sarap matulog.

Bigla namang nag-ingay ang phone ko signaling na may tumatawag.

Panira, ah? Sinagot ko nalang with a grumpy face on. Bahala siya.

"Theia?" Tanong niya, and then I was surprised nang marinig ko ang boses na 'yun.

Ang problema lang, parang mabigat ang boses niya at may problema. He seemed like he just cried.

"Leo. What's wrong?" I asked, and then I heard him sigh from the other line.

Napano ba siya?

"Can you meet up with me? I'll pick you up. I just need someone to talk to," sabi niya, and I felt hesitant.

Bakit hindi sila Vance? Bakit ako? Gusto ko sanang tanungin 'yun, kaso it might come out as weird or rude or something along those lines.

"Time?" I asked, instead, and then I heard some shuffling on the background.

"Now...? I'm outside your window," he said, and then I looked out my window.

I widened my eyes, seeing him there. Nasa second floor ito, ah! Paano siya nakaakyat sa balcony?

Without anything, binuksan ko ang glass doors na namamagitan sa amin at pinatay ang tawag.

Nasa labas na kami, and we gazed at the stars. I then remembered that one scene in High School Musical. Pfft.

Just looking at the stars, I decided to ask him.

"What happened?" I softly asked, and then he looked at me.

"Um... I ran away, kind of," he said, at nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko bago ko siya pinalo.

"Are you crazy? Bakit?" Tanong ko, at huminga naman siya ng malalim bago iniiwas ang tingin sa akin and instead looked at the starry night sky.

"My grandma is pissed off at me. She always has, and always will be. Malay ko sa kanya. She thinks that everything I do is for fun and I'm just messing around with my life. Sabi niya pa, 'you're nothing, Leo, you aren't deserving of being a Wesley. Pinapahiya mo ang ating pangalan' at iniwan ako. It is her birthday today, and I bought her a cake and a bouquet of flowers. Mali ba 'yung ginawa ko, Theia?" Sabi niya, and I heard his voice crack.
