Midnight (ON-GOING)

Chapter 5

When I had nothing to lose-
I had everything-
When I stopped being who I am-
I found myself.

  -Paulo Coelho

Two weeks had passed. I can say that it was the most peaceful event of my life here in the university. While everyone was still stuck on what happen between the group of Brittany and Lorenz.

Until now, they still talk about why they were not able see them and wondering why the social accounts of the basketball players they admire are not active. Fortunately, they were able to play for their last game before this happened.

Except for the people inside the forum, no one else knew what had happened. Some of their families were too private in life and what happened was really a big shame for them.

Headmaster made a biggest and I know it's the hardest decision he ever had. Especially, almost everyone whose involved is the children of entrepreneurs who have a share in this school.

He even asked me if I had any plans to file a lawsuit against those students. I said that the decision he made was enough and he's fine with it.

Shy, Lexie and Jacky also ask me about their group if I know something, of course I denied everything I knew. It's better that only  involved people who knew the real truth. 

I still remember how Kevin's mother pleaded for what her son did. She apologized and asked if I would file a lawsuit against his son, I said no. She's happy to heard it.

"Hey."

My attention went to Cody. Ever since Lorenz's group disappeared, he always been my tail. He actually looks like a dog. Not that I don't like him but for two weeks wherever I go he's always there.

I once hid but because he's like a dog, he could smell where I was. Sometimes I wonder if the necklace that Mama gave me is no longer working. It is very nice to give him a reward. He's pretty good at hide- and-seek.

"Ano yun Cody?"

I asked him while reading a book. I'm here in the garden. I choose to stay here because the air was quiet fresh.

"Len?"

"What is it?"

I asked him again while not taking my eyes off on the book.

"Lenore?"

"Do you need something?"

"Selena?"

I frowned and look at him. But he just smiled.

"Ano nga kase yun?!"

Ngumiti lang si tanga. Bahala ka na dyan.

"Selena Lenore?"

"What do you really need!"

I raised an eyebrow at him. Ang kulit. Ilang beses kaya ito inire ng nanay niya?!

"Hehe wala lang."

"Ewan ko sayo."

"Sungit mo. Meron ka?"

Inirapan ko lang siya. Nakakainis kase tuwing magsasalita kailangan naka ngiti. Minsan nakakabwisit na kaya. Yung tipong bad trip ka na pero siya ngingitian ka lang. Hindi ko maintindihan kung nang-iinis siya lalo eh.

"Iniinis mo ba ako Cody?"

"Bakit ko naman iinisin ang magandang dilag na katulad mo?"

"Maganda? Sa intsura kong it maganda? Niloloko mo ba ako?"
