Hold On Don't Let Go

6. Set up

Autumn's point of view

Tuluyan ng bumigay ang buong sistema ko, i've been acting cold for months, and they would be asking me about why have i gone cold when i'am originally warm.

“Claire, can you please let me know why you're acting like that? Nagaalala na kami ni Lauren sa'iyo.”Dylan threw a sincere look at me.

Hanggang ngayon ay hindi nila alam ang dahilan ng pagaakto ko ng ganito, ewan. . . basta nawalan na ako ng curiosity, excitement at happiness, for short, wala na akong pake sa lahat ng pumapalibot sa akin, minsan nga lang.

Madalas kasi hindi ko na napapansin na tumatawa na pala ako, i just can't keep on holding on to being cold.

“Why don't ask that bestfriend of yours?”Sigurado ako'ng kilala niya na ang sinasabi ko'ng 'bestfriend' niya. I was pertaining to Drake.

I picked up my bag and walked away from him. Bahala siya magisip, may utak naman siguro siya.

A juice was spilled on me when i reached the campus field.

“Ooppss! Sorry. . . sadya.”At andito na naman ang higad na Kylie, i gave her a cold stare.

“That juice spill, suits you.”She gave a seductive smile.“Ganon ba?”

Hinablot ko ang juice sa kamay niya't binuhos sa ulo niya, she then stiffened.

“Well i must say, that suits you well better, nagmukha ka'ng pisat na tae na binuhusan ng laway.”Paalis na sana ako ng hilahin niya ang buhok ko. Bwisit na higad ito.

“You damn thief! You stole Drake from me!”I held her hand and burying my  nails on it.“Mangaagaw!”She shouted once more.

“Bitawan mo ako!”Sigaw ko at pilit na abutin ang buhok niya saka ko naman hinila ang kanya.“Ouch! ah-a-a-ah! Y-You bitch! I'am gonna kill you!”

“Gaga! Paano mo ako mapapatay kung hanggang sabunot ka lang 'din!”She screamed and tightened her hand on my hair.

“Hey! What are you both doing?!”Someone shouted and held both of our hands to let go of each other's hair.

“Hindi ba kayo titigil?!”Gumitna siya sa pagitan namin ni Kylie.“She spilled juice on me and now she was pulling my hair!”

“Done ranting about the problems in your life?”Hingal na tanong ng lalaki. Heck, i thought it was someone else but it's Drake.

“Magpalit ka na doon.”He commanded Kylie.

Pinanood ko'ng umalis si Kylie, saka ako naglakad palayo nang makalayo na'rin siya.

“Saan ka pupunta? Lumapit ka dito.”He suddenly spoke.“At bakit ako susunod sa'yo?”His expression remained hard as a stone.

“Lalapit ka o hindi?”

“At bakit ako lalapit sa'yo kung ikaw 'din naman ang kusang lumayo?”

His shoulders dropped.

“Don't bring it up again Claire, ngayon lumapit ka.”

“I won't.”Matigas ko'ng sagot.“Wag ka ng makulit.”

He sighed in defeat and walked closer to me, he then removed his blazer and putted it on me.

“I can see your brassiere, give my blazer back to me after you change.”Namula ako at umalis na siya.

Shucks! Nakalimutan ko na binuhusan pala ako ng higad sa chest part ko! Malas!

I walked towards my locker and checked if i have an extra blouse there, and i saw nothing. Wala na akong extra uniform!
