Xyla’s POV
I thought I’m gonna die. Akala ko yun na ang katapusan ng buhay ko. Ano bang nangyari? Bakit ba bigla ko nalang naalala yon? I thought I conquer all the fears but I didn’t. May takot parin akong nararamdaman. I sat on my bed and look on the floor. I remember that, because of that incident, hindi na nagkaroon pang muli ng family reunion ang buong Grayson. Kung hindi lang sana mga inggitera’t inggitero ang mga pinsan ko, baka kung saka-sakali, nagkasundo-sundo kaming lahat. Napalingon ako sa phone ko ng biglang magvibrate yon. I get it and open the message.
‘Ate, are you busy?’Xytee asks. I started typing.
‘Why?’ Agad naman siyang nagreply.
‘I’ll call you.’Naghintay ako agad ng tawag niya. Sinagot ko agad nung magring ang phone ko.
“May problema ka ba?”
“I just miss you Ate. Can I come there?”
“Uhh… don’t think that’s a good idea. You know, if someone sees you here, they might see you in the Acad. These boys that I’m living with, they are all studying there.”
“Is that so? I would wear contacts and wig then.” Napaisip ako.
“Make sure your wig wouldn’t be taken off on your head. These boys might mess your head and it will accidentally fall off.”
“I do have a solution for that.”
“Okay. Bring your butler but make sure that you’ll text me if you’re infront of the subdivision. I would be the one who’ll pick you up.”
“Okay Ate. Uhh… do you want me to buy something?” Hmmm… ano bang magandang ipabili kay Xytee?
“Buy me five boxes of chocolate truffles.”
“You sure Ate? Are you stressed or something?”
“Not really but, I wasn’t just the one in this house. We’re lots remember?”
“Okay, okay… I’ll buy some fruits for you too.”
“Thanks Xytee… take care. Call me pagmalapit na kayo.” I ended the call and look at the floor again and sighed. Xytee is coming. I need to fix myself. Tumayo ako’t naghilamos atsaka nagbihis. I choose to wear the white sweater that Xytee gave me and partnered it with my black shorts and I bun my hair messily. Tiningnan ko ang itsura ko. Parang nasa palasyo lang ako. I remove my contacts and wore my thick glasses. May grado ‘to dahil medyo Malabo yung mga mata ko. Sinuot ko lang yung white flip flops ko and look my reflection on the mirror.
