To Fall Apart

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I woke up feeling nauseous. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko dahil sa sakit ng bumangon ako. I groaned and looked at my messy room. Junk food all over, my loptop is dead, and me lying on the floor.

Shit. This is my own kind of being messed up.

I slept very late last night watching the series I've been watching for the whole week. Tinapos ko na talaga kagabi dahil hindi ko na mahintay si Van. Amara and Arielle are done watching it and I cannot relate when they're talking about it.

As a result, I'm not really feeling well. I groaned when I try to stand up. I went straight to the bathroom and had a cold shower to ease my headache. Nawala naman ng kaunti, pero ang sakit pa rin ng mata ko.

Bumaba ako ng hagdan at hindi ko nakita si Papa. I went to the kitchen to find breakfast but I see a note in our refrigerator. It was from Papa saying that he has a business trip. Umirap ako. Whatever.

Hindi pa ako nakakainom ng tubig ay may bumusina na sa labas. I groaned again when I see that I'm going to be late! Mabilis kong kinuha ang bag ko at dumeretso sa labas. I saw Van waving his hand at me.

"Good morning!" masiglang aniya.

"Morning." I forced a smile. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko ng umandar ang sasakyan.

Shit, I really am not feeling well.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

I wave my hands at him telling him it's nothing. I don't want him to know that I'm done watching the series we're watching. And in weekdays. Knowing how pababy he can be? He'll be mad at me.

"I just skipped breakfast." palusot ko.

"Okay, mag drive thru na lang tayo."

"Wag na." agap ko. I took a glance ay my watch and see that there's only 10 minutes left with us.

"Ayokong malate." sabi ko at sumandal sa bintana ng kotse.

I close my eyes and tried to rest my throbbing head. I swear, I'll buy glasses for that damn radiation when I decided to watch again for eight freaking hours straight.

"Andy..." I felt someone shaking my shoulder. I groaned and try to open my eyes.

Nakita ko si Van sa gilid ko nakaabang na sa may pinto. I quickly brush my hair using my fingers and get all my things. My head is getting worse.

"You sure you're okay?"

I nodded at him.

"Yep. Just a headache." sabi ko at lumabas na.

Inagaw nya ang mga dala ko including my bag while we're heading to my room. Saka ko lang napansin ang suot nya ng makalagpas kami sa guard.

"Hatid ko lang manong." sabi nya. The guard smile at us then nod slowly.

"Bilisan mo lang."

Dumeretso kami ng paglalakad ng marealize ko ang araw ngayon. It's Thursday. And Van has no classes during Thursday. Hindi kasi kami magkaklaseng dalawa. I actually requested for it. I mean we're always together, as in always. We we're on the same village, same school, and being in the same room would be too much.

I don't want to stress my classmates whenever he's having tantrums or I have one. Because we seriously hard to handle during those times. And, I don't want to see him flirting my classmates and my classmates threatening me. I already experienced that.

During our second year, Van flirts with our president. And I don't really care. Not until he dumped her, and he reasoned out me. I'm the secretary of the class by the way. It's just that I rant on him one time about our president for being irresponsible and giving all the load works at me. Then, he already dumped her. Just like that.
