Runaway From The Labyrinth (Run Away Trilogy #1)

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Nakatulala akong naglalakad papunta sa classroom. My mind was still on the clouds and I felt so light like a feather dancing with the wind. Gusto ko nalang matulog nang napakahaba, yung sa sobrang haba, ayoko nang magising pa.

Life is full of sacrifices and choices. In every move, you choose and sacrifice the latter. You cannot be successful without sacrificing the one that really has a big part in your heart, that part would just be a burden and hinder.

But the thing is, di ko alam kung anong isasakripisyo ko o kung kailangan ba talagang magsakripisyo.

I can't help but sigh. I don't really know what to do about this. I hate this. I hate choosing from the choices as if I'm discarding those things I didn't choose.

To follow what Xionus said about distancing myself to Khael or to decline his warning and be with Khael at masasaktan si Zel.

If I would choose the latter masasaktan ang best friend ko but if I choose the former masasaktan si Khael. But I don't want to hurt Khael because he also has a place in my heart.

I think there's a reason behind Xionus's warning, but I don't know how or where to start. Should I ask him? Will he be honest if I ask?

My mind is in a total mess right now.

Pagkarating ko sa room agad akong naupo sa upuan ko. Di ko na pinansin ang mga classmates ko na nag-good morning sa akin, my morning was never good.

Napahilot na ako sa aking sentido. Sumasakit na ang aking ulo sa pag iisip ng kung ano ba talaga ang gagagwin ko. I want to share my thoughts to Zel but I know her mind is also hazy.

"Choose wisely, Yumi." Bulong ni Xionus sa likod ko. I just glared at him. His advice doesn't even let me feel good even just a bit.

Lunch time na. At napag isipan ko na sa classroom na ako kakain kasi nagdala ako ng lunch box. I just wanted to be alone right now at alam kong wala din si Zel sa cafeteria ngayon, she's also not feeling good.

Akmang bubuksan ko na ang lunch box nang may kumuha nito.

"Give it back." Pagod ko siyang binalingan.

"Come with me," sabi nya sabay talikod.

I rolled my eyes. Nandito na naman ba siya para guluhin ang nananahimik kong buhay. When would he stop disturbing my peaceful life?

"Stop glaring at me, just come with me and stop asking questions, ayaw ko sa mga maiingay." Nakayuko akong sumunod sa kanya. I just decided to follow his orders kasi pagod ako at ayokong makipag-away.

Di ko alam saan ang aming paroroonan. Nagpunta kami sa abandonadong building at umakyat gamit ang hagdan patungo sa rooftop—rooftop? May sign pa na restricted area pero walang pake si Xionus at agad binuksan ang pintuan.

Well, he's a goon, he doesn't give a fuck about rules.

Nabighani ako sa tanawin ng rooftop, napaawang ng konti ang aking bibig.

The vast blue sky, ang kabuoan ng school, parang mga maliliit na langgam ang mga tao sa pananaw ko, the breeze of the air na sumasampal sa mukha ko at pilit kong hinahawakan ang skirt ko para lang di lumipad.

I can't stop myself from closing my eyes and feeling the moment. When was the last time I felt like this? I feel free.

"Sit down. Stop smiling like an idiot," he said na nakapagmulat sakin. He just broke my fantasy a while ago.

"This is restricted right? Di tayo papagalitan dito?" Tanong ko.

"Nope," maikli nyang sagot.

Akmang bubuksan na niya ang lunch box niya pero napatigil siya nang magtanong ulit ako.
