Breaking The Chains (COMPLETED)

Chain 31 - Hairpin

Chain 31

Hairpin

I stormed out of the main dungeon after I said those words. Galit akong pumasok sa cell ngunit natigilan ako nang maabutang nandoon na si Kendall sa loob. Kabababa niya lang ng kanyang bag nang mapansin niya 'ko.

"Kendall, you're here. I'm sorry hindi na kita nahintay. Mr. Megarry talked to me and–" I stopped when she just nodded.

Umiwas siya ng tingin at pumunta sa closet niya. Is she mad? Nakalimutan kong sabay nga pala kaming uuwi ngunit nawala iyon sa isip ko dahil sa halo-halong nararamdaman kanina. I let out a deep sighed before walking towards her.

"Look, Kendall, I didn't mean to left you there–"

"I saw you with Zarvick," she cuts me off then faced me.

My brows furrowed. Umawang ang labi ko at nagtataka siyang tiningnan. I blinked twice.

"W-What do you mean? I mean, where?" Napalunok ako nang maalala ang nangyari kanina.

"I saw you with him under a huge tree. I was looking for you at that time but I saw you two, talking..." She looked at me with an observant eye. Pinapanood niya ang bawat galaw at reaksyon ko.

Hindi ako nag-iwas ng tingin sa kanya at diretso siyang tinitigan pabalik. Tumikhim siya upang magpatuloy.

"I know there's something going on between you too–"

I shooked my head immediately. "There's nothing going on between us, Kendall." Matigas kong sinabi.

"But he loves you..."

Pakiramdam ko ay nawala lahat ng dugo ko sa aking mukha. Ni hindi ko naisip na may makakaalam ng nangyari bukod sa aming dalawa ni Zarvick. And I've never thought it would be Kendall! She likes him, I know.

"He's not serious about it, Kendall. He's just playing. I know him, he's rich and playboy," iling ko sa kanya.

Kendall smiled a bit. "He's serious, I talked to him when you left. I was there, I'm sorry for eavesdropping coz' I heard it all."

My eyes widened at her sudden remark. Umiling-iling pa 'ko dahil hindi ako makapaniwala.

"I know he's serious with you. He was about to follow you but I stopped him. I know it's hard for you, you're confused about your feelings and I want you to think about it. I'm sorry dahil nakielam ako," she bit her lips.

"I-I don't like him, Kendall." Iyon lang ang nasabi ko.

Bumuntong hininga siya.

"You don't like him because you love him, Cli." She smiled like she's so sure of it.

Nalaglag ang panga ko sa sinabi niya. What? What is she saying?

"H-Hell no, Kendall Pennington!" I protested.

Hindi na ako makatingin sa kanya ng maayos. She's watching me closely then she smirked.

"That's not what I can see, Cliandria Azmate Celeste." She said mockingly. Hindi siya naniniwala.

"Kendall, how many times do I have to tell you that I... I hate him!" Kinunotan ko siya ng noo para makita niyang seryoso ako ngunit mahina lang siyang natawa.

Damn it! Why can't she just believe what I am saying?

"You hate him. I get it. You hate him because you hate the way he affects you. That's it, Cli." Tiningnan niya 'ko na para bang siguradong-sigurado siya sa kanyang sinasabi.

I was stunned. Tuluyan na akong hindi makatingin sa kanya. Pinilit kong tinalikuran siya at nagkunwaring naglagay ng bag sa aking kama. Natatakot ako. Natatakot ako dahil maaaring totoo ang sinasabi niya. I just can't admit it myself. I just can't accept the fact that I'm falling for him too! Fuck it.
