[ Cleniché's POV ]

"Ahhhh~ S-sir. M-my headaches. Ahh. Sh—" Napatigil ako sa pagcocomplain dahil sa sakit ng ulo ko noong marealize ko na malapit na akong magmura. Kaharap ko pa naman si Kiel, baka mas lalong mabawasan ang katiting na chance na mahalin niya ako. Nasa chair #18 siya ako #19 pero kahit ganoon, wala pa rin siyang balak tignan ako. Busy lang siya kakasulat sa notebook niya.

"Are you alright, Ms. Milne? Or you want to visit our school clinic for you to receive medicines?" Tanong sakin ng prof nila sa Human Anatomy. Nakisit-in na naman ulit ako sa klase nila. T'wing may free time ako lagi naman akong nakikisit in e. Kaya parang blockmate talaga nila ako.

"I-I w-wish to v-visit our clinic, si— aww! sir~" Napahawak ako sa ulo ko noong naramdaman ko itong pumitik. 'Hangover'

"Ms. Dela Cruz, would you mind to be Ms. Milne's variable companion?" Asked the prof to the lady whose in front of him.

"Yes, sir." Tumayo yung babae at palapit na sa akin.

"C-can Mr. E-elton do the— ahh! thing?" I raised my hand. I also tried to manage to stand up.

"Mr. Elton, can you do the th—?" The prof was cut off words.

"No, sir. Sorry. I can't." He stood up and sat down after then. 'He doesn't seem to care about my health'

"Anyway, thanks, Ms. Dela Cruz" I bowed 90° before sitting down. Dang, ché! My head aches like hell.

"K-kiel~ Aww!" Napahawak ulit ako sa sentido ko. Minasahe ko ito gamit ang right fingers ko habang sinusundot-sundot ang likuran ni Kiel gamit ang left index finger ko. "o-oyy~" Ilang beses ko siyang tinatawag pero walang response. Ginulo ko na buhok niya, hinila ko na polo niya tinusok-tusok ko na rin kili-kili niya pero wala. 'I'm not used with this. He keeps on ignoring my presence'

Muling kong tinaas ang kamay ko at muling tumayo kahit hirap na hirap na ako.

"I guess, I'll be fine here. I'd rather stay here, si— awwww!" Muntik na akong matuba but someone held my arm tightly. Napatingin ako sinong sumalo sa akin.

"You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world... but you do have, some say, in who hurts you" he stated. I blinked my eyes thrice. "And choosing yourself to hurt your own is  big no-no~" Sabi pa nito at dahan-dahan akong inalalayang umupo. 'He looks familiar'

"The fault in our stars, well, I read it too. But, yea— aahh~" Napahawak ulit ako sa ulo ko at pumikit ng marahan kasabay ng pagkagat ko sa labi ko.

"she really need a medical assistant, sir. I'll be her constant companion" He softly held my right arm along with my left hand. Kahit ayoko wala na akong magagawa. Gusto ko sana si Kiel ang magdadala sa akin sa clinic kaya lang mukha naman siyang wala sa mood at walang pakialam sa mundo lalo na sa akin. I snatched my bag that peacefully lying on my chair then slid it into my arm until it reached my shoulder
