Zealous MIn

"Zea?"

My body tensed when I heard Ichii's voice right outside my door and I did just the thing that I know is right for this situation. And that is, to not speak a word nor make a single movement. Nanatili lang akong hindi gumagalaw sa kama ko while I wait for her next words...

"Hey, Zea..." she called again.

This time, I felt a lil' happy yet at the same time side. Masaya kasi bakas sa tono niya na nag-aalala siya sa; akin and sad kasi nagawa kong pag-alalahanin ang isang Ichii Yu. 

Pero kasi...

'I don't want them to know what happened yesterday...I just...just can't...'

Seconds turned into minutes and before I know it, nabasag na ang katahimikan sa pagitan namin dahil sa pagbubuntonghininga ni Ichii.

Sorry talaga Ichii...Hope you won't kill me for not answering you back...

"Zea, we're going now. Kumain ka na lang kapag nagutom ka ah!" 

Mas tinalukbungan ko lang ng kumot ang mukha ko as I nod as a response.

 "Then, I'll be going now..."

Footsteps were soon heard and before I know it, I managed to let out the breath I didn't know I was holding.

Maya-maya pa ay narinig ko na ang ilang ingay at usap-usapan sa baba which was stopped by the closing of the door. Minutes later, narinig ko na ang pagbukas ng engine ng sasakyan and after a few more seconds ay tuluyan ng nakaalis ang sasakyang sakay-sakay 'yong limang nilalang na kasambahay ko rito sa residence na ito.

It took me a few more minutes to contemplate the fact that I was already alone before I managed to sit up from my bed and remove my blanket all over my body.

 Yesterday was.... was...

As memories of yesterday flashed in my head, I got the urge to just lay down in bed and cover myself (including myself) with the blanket again.

"Gosh Zea! Stop thinking about it. Stop thinking about it!" pagcha-chant ko sa sarili ko as I roll over my bed.

This took minutes bago ko muling makalma ang sarili ko and ended up staring into nothingness right after.

Yesterday was a disaster. Yesterday was the worst day ever. Siguro nga marami ng nangyaring pangit sa akin sa loob ng school na pinapasukan namin nung mga kapwa kasama ko dito sa Loser Residence pero yesterday would be like ze WORST of all.

"But it's not like you could lock yourself in your room forever, right Zea?" I told myself in like a third person kind of way bago ko muling ginather ang lakas ng loob ko upang umupo sa kama at dahan-dahan kong itinapak ang paa ko sa malamig na sahig ng kwarto ko.

I shivered the moment I touched the cold floor but the moment I got over it ay tumayo na ako at nagtungo na sa may bag ko na ibinato ko lang kagabi sa may walk-in closet ko. Ewan, ayoko lang makita yung bag ko kahapon.

I rummaged through it and got my car keys, as well as my phone bago ako bumalik sa kama ko at doon ay umupo.

First, I put the key on the side table then opened my phone. Well, tried to open it pero hindi na ito nagbukas pa.
