"Is she waking up yet?"
"Humanda sakin yung gagong yun pag may nangyari kay Cass!"
"Kalma lang Rea. Hindi naman fatal yung kalagayan ni Cass eh."
Hays, sino ba 'tong mga taong to? Pwede ba sila sa labas nalang mag bangayan?
"Pakiusap lang kung hindi nyo alam ang salitang respeto sa tulog, makakaalis na kayo." Mahinahon kong bitaw. Para ma emphasize na naiirita ako sa lakas ng boses nila, tumagilid ako at tinakpan ko ng unan ang kaliwa kong tenga.
Saka ko lang napagtanto na sana, hindi nalang ako kumilos.
"Fucking world. Gusto ko lang magpahinga, ayaw pa kong pagbigyan." Pikon na ko. Puyat ako pero hindi ako binibigyan ng pagkakataong makatulog. Ang sakit ng kanang balikat ko at hindi ko alam bakit.
"Thanks God you're okay Cass!" I looked up to see whose voice it is.
Nagtataka ako kung bakit may tatlong demonyo sa harap ko.
"Do you want me to ask you three what the hell brought you here?" Monotonous kong tanong.
"Is that how you greet your best friends after 2 months Cassidy?"
I cant help but raised a brow listening to what Rea had said.
"Really Levisque? Last time I checked, I dont have one nor three."
Nakita kong napangiwi onti si Rea sa sinabi ko.
"Aww, our little Cassidy still pouting about being left alone."
If only glares could kill, this girl Kristy would be a dead meat by now.
"Like get it over yourself Chase! We have to leave, not because we want to! Tigil tigilan mo ko sa pag aakting mong ikaw ang iniwan." Dagdag pa nya.
And all I did was to laugh.
"Are you hearing yourself Mendoza? Or did the air of CU sucked out all the few brain cells left in your tiny brain?"
"Aba't! Tang ina mo ka ah-"
Bago pa man din niya ko masugod sa higaan ko, naawat na sya ni Alex at Rea. And all she could do was to hope her stares could kill. So do I.
"Cassidy please, I thought we we're over this? Napag usapan na natin to before di ba? You told us it was okay-"
"Yeah, it's totally okay. I was really doing fine actually, you know without the fume of the presence of three demons." I cut Alex off in her mid- sentence.
I heard Kirsty snorted. Kaya napataas kilay ako sa kanya. But it was Rea who talked.
"May okay bang nakahilata sa isang infirmary bed Cassidy?"
This time napakunot noo ako. Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa kwartong akala ko ko ay kwarto ko. Aaahh great, clinic again.
As if on cue, lumabas si Miss Gina, clinic nurse, sa office niya.
"Feeling better ija? How's your shoulder?" Tanong niya sakin nang makalapit na sya.
