romaine severine beauregard.
Five days. Five days since i lost my best friend and my twin who turned out to be blinded by her goal to kill me. Five days since I avoided everyone.
Hindi ako nagpupunta sa classes ko. Pumapasok ako ng school but hindi ng classes. I saw Harvee's ashes. They kept it in a jar in his room.
A lot of things happened in the span of five days.
We discovered that Lili isn't really as bratty as we thought she was. She cried and explained to us the same night of the ball why she is mean and bossy to everyone. Her older sister got disowned last year, because she wasn't able to find a suitable husband as an heiress. And the reason why she stuck to our friends was because she was given the same responsibility— find a husband suitable for an heiress, someone of a high profile family. so yeah, she made it her mission to get one of the black reapers but she was unsuccessful. She's actually in the hospital right now, caring for Tavi.
In the span of five days, I also managed to not be able to talk to my friends. Every time i see them, I automatically get out of the way. Siguro kung nandito si chimpanzee, my life won't be boring. I'll have a striker to my goalkeeper. But If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have died.
Also, stupid Lexus broke off the engagement with Gabrielle by getting himself disowned. Pinilit daw niya ang dad niya, and then he was given a chance to choose— marry her, or get disowned. But he chose to get disowned.
Nasa ilalim ako ngayon ng isang puno, at nag-iisip. If my best friend was here, hindi kami mabobored. Kick here, catch there. Pero wala kasi. Because of me. People will have to stay away from me.
"Romaine!" Tawag ng isang boses, at napalingon naman ako.
"Jai?" I asked, nakita si Krill Jairell Vertes na nakatayo sa likod ko habang suot pa ang uniform ng Rakuzen.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't able to stop Raleign." Sabi niya, and then he looked down. Mas apektado pa sakin. Tsk.
"It's okay. Forget about it. It already happened. Wala namang magagawa ang salita." Sabi ko, and then asked why he was here.
"Meeting. Pres, Vice and Sec ng bawat school. Kaso cancelled daw, Leo is in the hospital." Krill said, at tumawa naman ako.
"Pekeng sakit lang 'yan, let's bet. Anyway, who's your vice and sec?" Sabi ko and then it was his turn to chuckle.
"Ymir and Akira." He replied, and i nodded, after seeing them all together.
"Let's talk later. I'll be leaving for now," I said, after seeing my friends walking towards me.
Tsk. I don't need people today. Or any day at all. Bakit pa kasi naattach. I don't want any guilt anymore, so i decided that it would be better to go back to my old self, to silent Romaine.
Kung kelan nagbalik na si Gabrielle, ako naman ang mawawala. Pero isa lang ang wish ko. Sana maging masaya sila because I'm willing to sacrifice my happiness just so they can be safe.
I'm sorry, guys. Especially you, Harvee.
