26 - Narration

S A V A N N A H

Everyone except Taeyong oppa looked up at me when I stood up. Mukhang nagtataka sila kung bakit ba ako tumayo.

"Why, Savi? You want something?" Mark asked.

Umiling ako at ngumiti ng kaonti. "I n-need to go somewhere." sabi ko and inisod paurong ang upuan ko para makaalis ako.

"H-huh? Where?" Lucas asked. Nakakunot na rin ang mga noo ng ibang NCT. I saw some of them don't agree of me leaving.

"Savi it would be better if---" Yuta oppa was cut off when Taeyong oppa interupt him.

"Just let her go." he said. Eyes still fixed over his phone. He raised it up and divert it to me.

"Go, Savi. Time's ticking."

Tumango ako sa kanya at agad umalis para bumalik sa school. It's just near here in Whiplash café. Takbo-lakad ang ginawa ko para makarating agad. Nang makabalik sa school ay may ilang estudyante pa ang nandito. Some of them even greeted me but I didn't even respond to them.

Nang makarating sa building nila Jaehyun baby ay halos walang tao sa harapan non. Of course! They have long quiz and probably everyone is reviewing right now.

I decided to go to the nearest bathroom para man lang i-check kung ano ang itsura ko. Dahil sa pagtakbo ko ay malamang gulo gulo na ang buhok ko at haggard na siguro dahil sa init ng panahon.

When I checked myself in the mirror, tama nga ako. Magulo ng kaonti ang buhok ko at wala na masyadong lip tint. My cheeks are also red from all the running. Mukha tuloy akong nagba-blush.

"Shit, I need to pee." I said silently dahil ako lang naman ang tao sa C.R na to. I quickly went to one of the stalls and do my thing inside.

When I was about to flush the toilet, narinig ko na may pumasok sa comfort room.

"Serves her right! That savannah girl is really desperate, Kisha!" lalong naiwan sa ere ang kamay ko at natigil sa pag-flush ng toilet.

"I know right. Jaehyun's just so nice to her. Halatang halata mo naman na ayaw ni Jaehyun pero etong si Savannah yung lapit ng lapit." Kisha. My hands automatically balled into a fist.

I sighed heavily and tried my best to calm myself. Okay lang yan, Savi. It's not like this is the first time that girls talk shits to you. It happens all the damn time. Madaming babae ang talagang galit sayo, palagi.

"What you did to the painting was brilliant! Paano mo pala nalaman na sa kanya 'yon?" Luna.

Natigilan ako sa narinig at nanlamig ang buo kong katawan. My mind went blank and my heart ached again at what I heard.

Sila gumawa non sa painting ko?

"I asked somebody from the art club. Buti nalang may isa din don na babaeng galit sa kanya so she quickly cooperated with me." Kisha.

Nang marinig ko ang nakakainis nilang tawa ni Luna ay hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko. I flushed the toilet and then padabog kong binuksan ang pintuan ng stall. They screamed in unison because of the loud sound it created.
