I'm all alone right now.
And that's all I want.
Nakatambay lang ako sa suite, not knowing what to do. Nakasandal lang ang ulo ko sa headboard ng kama. Nakabihis na ako't lahat-lahat pero hindi ko pa rin alam ang gagawin ko. Then my phone beeped kaya napatingin ako doon.
From: Stalker
I am ready to confess and face you. Can you meet me at the hallway near at our classroom? If that's okay with you.Napabuntong-hininga ako. Pumunta muna ako ng banyo para magbihis saka lumabas ng suite. Lahat ng dumadaan ay napatingin sa akin. Tiyempo namang papasok na sana ang pito sa suite namin that's why I stared at them coldly pero iniwas din at nagsimulang maglakad papunta sa classroom ko.
Then I saw a tall guy, but Cherauno is taller. Then he faced me, smiling nervously.
"Hi." he said.
"Hi." I repeated then looked at his right hand, offering to shake hands.
"I'm Neon Emerson." he said while offering his hands. Emerson? Quite familiar. And also his feature.
I accepted his hand at binitawan din. "Emerson? Are you related to Norilee?" I asked, wondering. When I posted my profile picture in our online app, she commented there, and her full name is Norilee Emerson. The one who Eevee bullied before. "And also... you had fight with Grayson before, first day of class, right?" I asked again. I remembered him.
He chukled while nodding. "Yeah. I'm Norilee's brother and..." medyo napangiwi siya. "—I'm the one who got fight by that man."
Then we became silent.
"Me gustas." agad na sabi niya kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. "I really really do."
"Disculpe." tanging nasabi ko kaya napatingin din siya sa akin kaya naiwas ko ang paningin ko.
"Por qué?"
"I... I-i can't return your love for me. D-disculpe."
"I know. But, I just want to try to reach you out. Nagbabaka-sakali lang naman." tumawa siya kaya napatingin ako sa kanya pero kita ko sa mukha niya na nasasaktan siya.
"But we can still be friends, right? Just at least." sabi niya kaya ngumiti ako.
"Oo naman."
"You need some time, right? Maybe I should go now. Thank you for appearing in front of me." sabi niya sa akin. He waved his hand then slowly, walking while hands on his pocket. I sighed heavily then started walking in different path.
Bigla akong napadaan sa room ng Dos saka di sinasadyang sumilip. Nakita ko doon si Eevee na nag-iisa at... umiiyak?
Dahan-dahan akong pumasok sa room saka umupo sa tabi niya.
"Alam mo, hindi magandang umiyak nang nag-iisa." saad ko sa kanya. Pinunasan muna niya ang nga luha niya at agad siyang tumingin sa akin.
"Why are you here?" malditang tanong niya sa akin.
"Dinadamayan ka." simpleng sabi ko.
