Chelsea’s POV

Hindi ko pa rin mawari kung ano ang ibig-sabihin ng mga naka-sulat na iyun. I didn’t even slept that much thinking of what Ben told me. Kung totoo ang sinabi niya at mga sinabi niya kay Zoe. It would sum up all his absences to those days. The last time I saw him is when Venice went back from Russia the night their older brother died. After no’n wala na akong nasagap na balita ukol sa kanila.

Paano ba naman kasi, pinalayas nila si Venice noon diba?
And even on her burial, siya lang ang wala sa buo niyang pamilya.

“Kung ako sa ‘yo, makikinig ako.”

I looked at the person beside me. She motioned our instructor na busy sa kakasalita sa harapan. She’s our strict instructor for this semester. At nawawalan ako ng gana kapag klase na niya. Who would? May sasaya ba kung magagalit na lamang bigla kahit nanahimik ka lang sa isang gilid? Hindi ko alam kung may sayad talaga ito o essence talaga iyun nang pagiging matandang dalaga niya?

“What is she saying anyway?”

Ellia smirked, “Our Final Defense, girl. She’s one of the panel.”

Hindi ko maiwasang mangamba. Tss. Can’t she get lost of our way just for once? Tama na siguro iyung nakikita namin siya sa isang klase sa loob ng limang buwan at pati ang final defense naming ay papatusin niya?

“Guess we’re doom?” I softly said.

“You bet.” 

Gods maybe heard our summon at sa wakas tapos na sa pagsasalita ang terror na iyun at dinis-missed kami sa klase.
Ellia is walking beside me. We are on our way to the central park. Not on the cafeteria dahil sa ganitong oras ay maraming tao roon. Lalo na’t lunch na ngayon. Ellia Martell is my buddy on this semester. Wala talaga kasi akong naging permanent friend since when I started college.

The girls wouldn’t want it either. Pinagbantaan pa ako na huwag daw sila ipagpalit kung hindi ay kakalimutan nilang nag-eexist pa ako.

It was CJ who said that. Gusto kung matawa habang naiisip iyun. Ang lakas niyang sabihan ako nang ganoon when in fact, when they’ll do it, mawawala rin sa kaniya si Kuya Tyron. And she wouldn’t dare to do that.

We sat at one of the benches na naroroon. The central park has lots of benches na pwedeng masilungan because lots of trees surrounded it also. Dito ko nakasanayang kumain since first year and Ellia want it here also.

Philippians College is a sister school of St.Philipps. Though, sa pagkakaalam ko, talagang pagmamay-ari talaga namin ito. Unlike, St.Philipps na ibinigay lang sa amin ng mga Crest.
I suddenly stopped from what I’m doing.

“What?” Ellia asked.

Hindi ko nagawang pansinin ang tanong niya at nilapag na lamang ang kutsarang may lamang kanin na sana’y isusubo ko.

Crest.

It’s the very first time for this past six years that I think about them.

What? No! You saw Emma Crest on Eris’ birthday last two months, Che.

But I am talking about them. All of them.

Matapos ang isang week na absence na ginawa naming tatlo nina Erin at CJ matapos ang libing ni Venice ay wala na akong naging balita pa sa kanila. The last one maybe was when they told me that Jacob Crest dropped his studies and as Emma. Even Dad has nothing on his sleeves about those family. I bet kung alam din niya kung anong klase ang mga taong iyun.
