Hayden's POV:
Nowen held my wrist quietly. I was just staring at his back as I follow him with my mouth zipped, I never intended to see him today.
Natauhan ako nang mapansin kong binitawan na pala ako ni Nowen pero napalitan 'yon ng gulat nang makita kong dire-diretsyo lang siyang naglalakad, mukhang binitawan niya ako nang makita niyang lutang ako habang naglalakad.
Hinabol ko siya.
When I caught up with him, I walked beside him as I bring my head a bit low.
I heard him sniff. Hindi ko 'yon binigyang pansin pero nang makatatlo na siyang singhot ay tiningnan ko na siya. Despite the nightlight, I could see how red his nose is with the help of the lampposts.
"Are..." tinikom ko bigla ang bibig ko pero umiling-iling agad ako at muling nagsalita. "Are you fine?"
Hindi siya sumagot, instead, he sniffed again.
Yumuko nalang ulit ako at hindi na nagsalita pa.
"It's cold."
"Is it?" I looked at him when he finally spoke. I pouted a bit when he remained silent again as his eyes were focus in front of us, inalis ko nalang ang tingin ko sakanya at tumingin din sa daan.
Napansin kong papunta kami sa President's office kaya hindi na ako nagsalita pa dahil alam ko namang hindi siya sasagot. Gabi na, nandito pa rin ba ang President?
Nang makarating kami sa tapat ng pintuan ay humarap siya saakin at mataimtim akong tinitigan. I looked away as I feel myself a bit flustered.
"Talk only if I told you so."
Nagsalubong ang kilay ko sa sinabi niya. Hindi ko na nahabol pa ang mga mata niya, nauna na siyang pumasok at bago pa masarado ang pinto, I held onto the doorknob and opened it again so I could enter.
"We're not sorry to bother you this late." pagbati ni Nowen nang makapasok kami sa loob ng President's office. Tumingin saamin ang babaeng nakaupo sa swivel chair. Napatingin naman ako kay Nowen na may ngiwi sa aking mukha. He really doesn't respect everyone.
Lumipat ang tingin ko sa principal.
"How may I help you? Mr. Fontenelle and... Miss Salvia?" nagtatakang tanong ng babae nang mabanggit niya ang apelyido ko. Napahinto rin siya sa ginagawa niya.
Naglakad si Nowen at umupo sa visitor's chair.
"I'm here to reach out my concern about the walls of Morwittz. I'm suggesting for the next night roll to include the area where no students go, I have a feeling that they already created a hole in the walls somewhere."
"Aren't you suspecting those four people the other day?" the President asked with a frown.
"No. I know them."
"So, you're having the guts that the thick wall which is securing our school for decades was somehow destroyed? If that did happened, dapat may narinig tayong ingat mula roon."
