Me & You: Between Life And Death (COMPLETE)

Chapter 7

Adriel.

I will attend my class even if my head is throbbing in pain. Hindi naman pupwede na aabsent nalang ako dahil lang naparami ang inom ko kagabi. Mula sa carpet ay agad na lumapit sa akin si Shacklu sa kama at niyakap ko siya. Masaya ako kasi kahit papaano feeling ko buhay pa rin ang alaala niya... Pagkatapos kong pakainin si Shacky ay naligo na ako at nagbihis. Kinuha ko ang mga gamit ko pati ang susi.

"Hey, Shack! Stay here. Okay?"

I went off and drove to school. After a long drive ay nakarating na rin ako. Lintek! Hindi nga pala ako kumain. Kaya kumukulo ang tiyan ko sa gutom.

I already parked my car when I remember that today's university's foundation day. There's no class. I should be at home and rest instead. But I infer to eat at the cafeteria because of so much pain I had in my stomach. And right after I ate my breakfast, I stood up when a band of girls darted towards my position.

"Hi! You're new here. Right?"

I just nodded. Wala ako sa mood makipag-usap sa kanila so I grabbed my bag from the white chair and about to leave. They seems shocked about it. Well, the hell I care. I propelled outside. I grooved my brows when I saw them laughing out loud...

"You jerks!" I shouted with irritation as I banged my bag to their heads. These damned aliens who set up a stupid schemes for me!

"Did you enjoy that?" si Nikko.

They were the one who enjoyed that nose out ludicrous event. I didn't even expect that my hallucinations will turned out to be that way. Who would have thought that I mistaken her for someone!? She's dead, Adriel. Damn. She's dead!

"Hindi..." tipid kong sagot at nagsimula na ang nakakalokong halakhak nilang tatlo. Akala mo ay mga kriminal na nakalaya sa kulungan. Iniwan ko sila dun at madaliang naglakad patungo sa university's office.

"Hoy! San ka pupunta!?" sigaw nila.

"It's completely none of your business..."

These guys are pain in the ass! They're still following me. They're like a scent on my clothes where it perambulated me wherever I'd go.

"Sama kami!"

I eyed this place. This is my first time here. I noticed that there are lots of posters and trophies around the corner. Maybe because this university is entitled of being one of the most prestigious private university in the whole country. I didn't doubt that.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" si Nathan.

"Just wait here..." utos ko.

Actually, may kailangan lang akong makausap dito. Si Edward... the nerd guy. Kailangan niya raw kasi ng pera. Ibibigay ko nalang sana ng libre pero ayaw niya. Kaya naisip ko na kapalit ng pera ay sa kanya ko nalang ipapagawa ang mga requirements ko. Though, kaya ko namang gawin iyon but to show a little act of kindness ay iniutos ko na sa kanya.

Nang igawi ko ang ulo ko sa kabilang korte ng opisinang ito ay natanaw ng mga mata ko ang mga poster, frame, bulletin board and acknowledgement wall.

I took a step back. My lips formed a sad smile. I pursed my lips hard and then suppressed my tears.

Betryle Claire Harte
University Student Government President

Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali. Siya yan. Si Betryle yan. I browsed when I realized that this is real. The picture is real so is this place. But it's seems imposible...

The doctor said that she was dead. She didn't managed to survive because of so much injuries she got.

I gasped some air when I'm starting to lose my breath. All this time buhay siya. Hindi man lang niya ako dinalaw sa hospital nung panahong na-comatoce ako. I almost envisaged her in my dreams. But how she could just walk away without saying a proper goodbye? My mourning was all in vain.
