Alliyah Llye's POV

It's been days but, he's still ignoring me. He's not replying on my message. It's our last convo when he said that he's protecting me, from what? And why is he doing that?

It's festival day today, busy ang school at busy rin kaming lahat. We're arranging our department booth. Maya-maya ay pupunta na rin ako sa gymnasium para sa play. I'm going to see him again. I sighed.

"Alliyah, paki-abot nga ng gunting please," one of my blockmate said kaya kinuha ko naman yun at inabot sa kanya.

"Thank you," she said and I just smiled.

"Bakla!"

Nakita ko kaagad na kumakaway si Ronna habang papalapit sa pwesto ko, nasa likod nya si Rachelle habang naka-shades pa ito at parang artistang naglalakad sa may field.

"Oh, san kayo punta?" tanong ko sa kanila.

"Wala gala lang kami, ikaw? Mamaya na stage play nyo ah. Manonood kami ni Chelle. Good luck," he said at umupo sa tabi ko.

"Salamat. You don't have anything to do?"

Tinanggal ni Rachelle ang shades nya at tumingin sa akin. "Well, wala naman masyado. I think we're going for a party after this. Are you coming?"

Umiling ako. "I'm not. I think we have a gig again."

"Okay, we're going to support you mamaya. Gala lang muna kami here. Break a leg, bitch," she said at tumayo na sila para bumeso sakin at umalis din.

I sighed at tumingin sa gymnasium sa harapan ko. I'm nervous seeing those people who are going to watch the stage play. I'm just going to sing and I'm not one of the cast pero, kinakabahan pa rin ako.

I walked towards the back stage kung nasaan ang mga cast na gaganap para sa play. I saw them busy preparing for the play. May nagm-make up at may nag-bibihis naman ng mga damit nila.

"Oh, Alliyah, you're here na. Maupo ka muna," Bell greeted me.

"Thank you. Malapit na ba ang start?" I asked looking around.

Tumango sya at umupo sa tabi ko. "Yes, in 40 minutes. Good luck, you can do it!" she cheered kaya ngumiti ako sa kanya.

I roomed my eyes around to find him. Nakita ko siyang nilalagyan ng make up at naka-upo sa tapat ng salamin while his eyes are close. He look so good, mas lalong tumangos ang ilong nya at kumapal pa ang kilay nya. He's almost perfect.

Hindi ko rin sya naka-usap dahil malapit na magsimula. 5 minutes na lang kaya naman naka-pwesto na sila malapit sa gilid ng stage. Nasa likod lang ako habang nakatingin sa kanila.

The stage play started. Auburn and the girl bumped with each other, natumba ang babae kaya itinayo sya ni Auburn at pinaupo sa bench. The girl is holding a guitar while Auburn is holding one, too.

"Will you marry me?" he said, he glanced on me but, immediately looked away.

"What?!" the girl shouted pero umiling lang si Auburn.
