All Alone

Chapter 10

I'm writing this offline and I'm planning to finish this without publishing it. Bukod sa wala namang magbabasa, nahihiya pa akong i-publish. If you're finally reading this, please forgive me for the grammatical errors and typos. I'm still on the process. x

I don't know what's gotten into me. Sobrang galit ko kanina.

A little part of myself wants to confront Trinity and get what's mine but I can't bring myself to do that. It's just... not me.

Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling si Eve at bigla na lang siyang sumulpot. He kinda confiscated the blade and made me drink a lot of water.

"What were you thinking?" medyo galit na tanong niya pero pinipilit na kumalma.

I shrugged. "I-I don't know... I was just so angry."

He deeply sighed before arranging my things. Siya na ang nag-ayos ng mga gamit na ginulo ko kanina.

He stood up and offered me his hand. Kumapit ako sa kamay niya at tumayo na rin.

"You should get going," saad ko at umupo sa may upuan doon.

I buried my face in palms and tried to calm myself.

"I'll st–"

I immediately raised my head and cut him off. "May klase ka 'di ba?" I looked at his uniform that is now grungy. "Nadumihan na ang uniform mo."

He glanced at his uniform before pulling the chair beside me and sat down.

"I don't mind."

I was infuriated about what he said. Inis akong tumayo at humarap sa kaniya.

"Ayaw kong um-absent ka dahil lang sa 'kin," sambit ko at binuksan ang pinto para makadaan siya.

Toby was so shocked when I opened the door. Dali-dali siyang umalis doon sa may labas at naglakad palayo. I'll talk to him later.

"Thank you," bumaling ako kay Eve. "Pero i-priority mo muna 'yung pag-aaral mo."

He heaved a deep breath before nodding. Tumayo siya at lumapit sa akin.

I was astounded when he held me and kissed the top of my head. Nagtagal iyon. Hawak ng pareho niyang kamay ang gilid ng ko. Napahigpit ang kapit ko sa doorknob.

"Don't get used to bossing me around, baka magalit ka sa 'kin kapag hindi kita sinunod," he said while cupping my cheeks.

He chortled before pinching my cheeks. Nainis ako agad at tinanggal ang hawak niya sa 'kin.

"I'll be back," aniya bago ginulo ang buhok ko at umalis na.

Kung hindi ko siya maaalis sa buhay ko, I might as well stay a little far from him.

Nang mapaalis ko na siya at nang kumalma na ako ay bumalik na ako sa studio. Nakakahiya naman na kanina ko pa suot ang leotard na 'to. Ang plano naman ay isusukat lang.

Wala na sina Harvey sa labas. Parang bumalik naman ata sa normal ang lahat. I'm glad.

Sinalubong ako ng mga designers. I'm not in the mood to ride with their jokes so I just answered their questions about the leotard.

"Ang ganda sa 'yo, Sienna!" si Harvey at inikot-ikot pa ako. Halata namang pinapaganda lang ang mood ko.

I didn't react. He cackled when he noticed that I am not really in the mood. I turned to Henry and the designer that's talking seriously about something. After a while, he turned to face us and clapped his hands.
