You'll Be Safe Here

3-They Finally Meet

Zach's PoV

Another day to live. Another day to not exist. Okay din ang ganito ehh, tahimik buhay mo. Walang pake sayo ang mundo. So whenever you judge them, it doesn't matter at all. You don't exist in their world. May mga lalapit sayo pero plastik lang lahat yon. Hindi totoo. Wala nang totoo ngayon sa mundong to. I know. Alam na alam ko yon. Lahat peke, kahit pamilya mo peke. So sinong aasahan mo di ba? Kundi sarili mo lang. So it's better to be alone. Mas masaya. Mas tahimik. Mas walang problema.

It's been what? A week? Isang buong linggo na akong outcast. I'm trying to be normal, pero walang kwenta. I'm being left out. Ayaw na talaga nila saken. No one wants to be with me anymore, should I just die??

Andito ako ngayon sa rooftop, ayoko na. Tumayo ako sa gilid ng rooftop to see how high it is nang may magsalita.

"Bangas lang aabutin mo dyan. Unless ulo unahin mo"

Paglingon ko may nakaupo pala dun sa isang side ng rooftop, hindi ko siya napansin dun.

"W-who are you"

"You don't need to know"

"N-nagtatanong lang naman ako"

"I don't tell my name to anyone. Wala namang makakaalala bakit ko pa sasabihin di ba?"

"Weird"

"Everybody says that"

"No! I'm sorry I mean..."

"Weird, loner, saddist, adik, siraulo... I've heard them all. It's normal for me"

"You're not mad?"

"More like, I'm already used to it"

"I'm Labyrinth by the way"

"I know. Famous ka di ba?"

"Am I?"

"As far as I know, and as far as I care about? Oo"

"Baka dahil sa party... sa bagay kafamous famous naman yata naging katangahan ko dun. Sobrang famous ko wala nang gustong sumama saken. Sa sobrang famous ko lahat umaayaw saken. I am the FAMOUS Labyrinth TANGA Santiago."

"Do you even know why you were left out?"

"Funny how I don't"

"What if I tell you I know?"

"What?!"

"But again I don't give a damn about your issues so spare me"

Tapos humiga na siya at mukhang tutulugan ako

"Teka!"

Walang kibo pa rin

"How did you know?!"

"Andun ako malamang. Can you shut up? I wanna sleep. Istorbo ka"

"Teka kuya!!"

"Shut up. Di ba tatalon ka?"

"E-ehh?!"

"Kung tingin mo sagot yan sa problema mo then go"

"What? Hindi mo ko pipigilan?"

"Natry ko na yan. Bangas lang inabot ko."

"Ehh?!"

"Pwede ba manahimik ka nga"

"Teka kuya!"

"Stop calling me kuya!" He sat up and faced me. Ang seryoso ng aura niya.

"Hindi ko kasi alam pangalan mo!"

"Would you let me sleep if I tell you?!"

"Yes!"

"Zach" he said then laid down again to sleep.

Zach? Sino ka??
