MYSTERIOUS NERDS meets CAMPUS ROYALTIES

Mission #40 Yancey's Grief

(Special Chapter)

LHORRAINE's POV

G-Grey and Lee??

Diba Grey si Ash?

...at Lee si Junea.

Agad kong nilibot ang paniningin ko and I saw the Uncrowned Royals pero wala si Junea at Ash.

Parang may kung anong bagay na bumaon sa dibdib ko. My heart started to beat fast inside my chest at nahihirapan na kong huminga.

I moved backwards. Hindi ko atah kayang magstay dito.

Umatras ako--

"Aww." I squealed after kong bumangga sa isang matigas na bagay. I felt warm hands on my shoulder kaya napalingon ako.

"A-Ash..." I stummered. He's dazzling in his suit. Nakatingin naman siya sakin coldly.

Napalingon ako ulit sa may stage only to see
Mark Thunder Grey and A woman happily chatting on the stage.

Napatingin ako kay Yancey who has sad look in her eyes.

Naramdaman ko na lang na hinila ako ni Ash pasandal sa kanya and he kissed the back of my head for about 3 seconds before leaving me dumbfounded.

Napahawak na lang ako sa chest ko. Bakit ganun pa rin? Bakit ganito pa rin ang nararamdaman ko?

Why did he do that?

I shook my head. Hindi... Mali ito.

"Yancey..." I called her.

"Ang sakit pala, akala ko kaya kong maging masaya para sa kanila." She said.

"Yancey, masokista ka rin eh. Alam mo pa lang engagement party nila tapos pumunta pa tayo dito."

"Kaibigan namin sila, April, ako, si Minerva at Cyan, magkakaibigan kami noon."

April yung fianceé ni Thunder, ate ni Junea.

"Does he remember you now?"

Umiling siya. "I've been hiding all this time kasi natatakot akong makasira ako ng relasyon, maybe ngayon lang ulit kami magkikita-kita ulit, though wala na si Minerva."

"You're here as April's friend? Masokista ka talaga." Irap ko.

Natapos ang ritual nila, basta yung program. Bumaba na yung couple at kinausap yung mga bumabati sa kanila.

"Congratz." Yancey said. Nakangiting lumingon samin yung couple pero agad ding napawi ito.

"Y-Yancey?" April stummered. Napatingin si Thunder kay April, he really can't remember her.

"Hi, long time no see." Nakipagbeso si Yancey sa dalawa.

"Y-you're alive?! Oh my gosh! Where's Minerva?!" Naiiyak na sabi ni April at niyakap si Yancey.

"She's in a nice place right now."

Napatingin si April kay Yancey na para bang sinusuri kung nagsasabi ito ng totoo. Naiyak na lang si April.

"Masisira ang make up mo." Yancey chuckled though tears were starting to form in the corners of her eye.

"I'm sorry." April sobbed.

Napatingin ako kay Thunder na nakatitig sa mukha ni Yancey, maybe he's thinking that he has seen Yancey before.

"Yancey?" Napalingon kami sa babaeng dumating, maganda ito at sopistikada.
