Namula ako sa sinabi niya.

"W-What...what are you even saying?!" I tried to sound really annoyed but my voice was shaking.

He smirked. "Sayo lang. Malamang, ikaw lang naman manager namin 'di ba? 'Tsaka, in a relationship na 'ko sa music!" His serious face then became happy. He laughed and slightly shook his head.

I almost sighed with his explanation. For a second, my heart jumped and my cheeks turned red. Ngumuso ako at inirapan siya.

"Of course... that's what you meant," bulong ko. "Tawagin mo na sila. Mauuna na ako. Ma-issue pa 'ko sa inyo wala sa oras e," I sounded bitter.

Umalis na ako bago pa siya makasalita. I sighed again. What is this I'm feeling? Umiling na lang ako at hinayaan ang nararamdaman ko.

Days have passed, humupa naman ang issue tungkol kay Bianca at Cole. Not that people really know it. Siguro ang iba, but not everyone.

Sinara ko ang locker ko no'ng halos mapatalon ako sa gulat noong makita si Bianca na nakahalukipkip sa tabi ko.

My lips twitched and as if it was instinct, I stepped back.

Her brows arched.

"Can you stop fooling around, Courtney? Ngayon alam ko na kung ano'ng teknik mo! You pretend that you don't care and people, like Cole, go to you! Just like me before! How stupid of me!" She massaged her temples and shook her head.

My forehead creased. What is she saying? I made sure I looked tough, but on the inside, I'm scared by her.

She looked evil just by the way she looked at me.

Napalingon naman ako sa pinto. I saw her henchmen closing and locking the door. Sinundan ko sila ng tingin hanggang sa tumabi sila kay Bianca.

Nakaramdam ako ng kaba. It feels like they will fo something back to me.

"I don't even know why you're here in the first place...." she started walking towards me to lessen our gap. "You don't have the talents. Swerte ka lang at may label ang tatay mo kaya ka nakapasok 'di ba? Kaya ka manager."

I felt the coldness of the lockers at my back. I didn't know that I was unconsciously stepping back until I hit the lockers.

My breathing got heavy. I didn't know what to do.

"Say something! Wala kang kwenta! You are nothing! Pabigat ka lang!" Umiling ako.

That's not true! Hindi 'yon totoo. Hindi ako pabigat.

"You don't have a talent! You don't belong to this place! You don't get the right to be with the Inkx!" She turned red. She was fuming mad! Hindi ba at dapat ako ang matakot?

"I–"

"Shut up! You don't get the right to talk back to me!"

What the heck?! She wanted me to speak and now, she doesn't want me to?! What kind of a sick mind does she have?!

"Girls... you know what to do!"

She placed her hand on both sides of the locker, locking me in.

"W-Wha–" I couldn't let my voice out!

I was about to protest about what she's doing when she suddenly slapped me.

I felt it still immediately. Halos maiyak na ako sa sakit, but I chose to face her. I was also about to slap her what both of her henchmen got the hold of my arms.

"Bitawan niyo ako!" sigaw ko. My voice was practically shaking but I still felt brave for some reason.

"No!" Bianca slapped me again, but now on the other side of my face. Bale nasampal niya na ako sa magkabilang pisngi.
