Dumulas ang kamay nya.
"MARK!!!"
He tried to grab unto the rail but...it happened so fast. His foot slipped and the ladder fell. He plummeted to the ground. Head first. Blood was scattered everywhere.
H-he's dead??!
No!
It can't be!
Is this real?
Syempre hindi. Natakot ka naman.
Dumulas ang kamay niya pero isa lang, ang isa ay nakawak parin sa rail ng bubong. Kinuha niya ang sapatos at bumaba ng ligtas mula sa hagdan.
"No offense, but fuck you. Kinabahan ako." I tried to hide my concern with a scowl as I reach for my shoe.
We reunite once again my beloved shoe.
"Hehe. S-Sorry." He apologized.
Kukunin ko na sana ang sapatos ko nang bigla siyang lumuhod.
Hala sya.
Kinuha niya ang paa ko at isinuot ang sapatos. Omaygadomaygadomaygad Cinderella who? I only know Germaine.
"Bakit mo ginawa yun?" Sheyt. Hindi ako kinikilig. HINDI!
"I-I just t-thought that um...uhh sorry." Nauutal pa itong humingi ng tawad.
"Ah ano umm don't worry... hindinamanakogalitangcutengaeh" I slurred my words.
"Sorry what? I didn't get the last part." He beamed starting to gain confidence again.
"WALA. Bingi mo. Tara na may klase pa. " I started to walk away and he followed behind.
Nang makarating kami sa room, tapos na ang klase at oras na para sa next subject kaya umupo na lamang ako at nag hintay.
"I missed a whole damn class, lagot ako kay mama." Bulong ko sa sarili ko.
Ano'ng sasabihin ko sa kanya?
"Ay hello Ma, siguro tinawagan ka ng office 'no? Wag ka mag-alala I was just hanging out with a boy, tapos may nag susuntukan tapos yung nanununtok kinuha yung sapatos ko tapos hinagis sa bubong. Don't worry Ma everything's under control."
I was too busy being a worrywart at hindi namalayang kinakausap na pala ako ni Mark.
"Hello??~ Earth to Gem? Germaine? Germaineeeee." He waved a hand in front of my face.
"Ha? Ano? May sinasabi ka ba?" I finally snapped out of my terrifying thoughts.
"Wala pa 'kong sinasabi, napansin ko lang na ang lalim ng iniisip mo." He said.
"Ahh.. wala ganun lang talaga ako."
Pag-tanggi ko.
"Yung totoo?" Nilapit niya ang mukha n'ya sa'kin at tinitigan ako sa mata. Namumuro na 'tong lalaking 'to ah.
"Ever heard of personal space Mark?" Tinulak ko ang mukha niya palayo.
"Whatever you say." He shrugged.
Minutes passed and the teacher arrived. The same routine happened through out the day. The teacher comes in, they introduce themselves, and we have a little warm-up lesson.
Uwian na nang pinatawag ako ng Principal na si Mrs.Gwen Santos sa kanyang office.
Kumatok ako sa pintuan.
