Gloomy Blossom

Chapter 25

2 months later

After all the circumstances that had happened, I went back in our university and started to work as if nothing ever happened. I am still worried about Marcus. I can't text or call him because I decided to cut off everything that is connected to him. I will sacrifice everything for him to be safe. I miss him,though.

I am now walking in the hallway. It has been 2 months, I have already recognized some stranger walking by in the building which concludes that they are one of my family's ally. I am still constructing a strategic plan how to appoach them and tell me why are they following me.

Nagulat ako ng may biglang bumangga sakin.

"Oy, Rain. You okay?" it's Jessica. Hays. Am I? I miss Marcus,everyday. Sana bumalik na siya at sisigurafuhin kong hindi ko siya papansinin basta I can see him alive. I've been thinking abouy him for 2 months. Wala na kasi akong balita kung kumusta na siya

"Hi-i. I'm sorry. Medyo masama lang pakiramdam ko." I said. Well, it's true. These past few days . I feel weak.

"You want me to take over your class?"Jessica.

"No. Im fine. Kaya ko pa naman. Pagod lanh ako. Sige na Jes. I need to go. Late na rin ako sa klase ko."

"Okay. You take care."sabi ni Jessica at umalis na ito. Nagpatuloy na ako patungo sa klase ko.

"Good morning, class."

Mabilis na bumalik ang mga estudyante ko sa mga upuan nila at bumati sakin ng malakas. That annoys me. Wait ,they greeted me like that everyday. How that annoys me now.

"Hays, take your sit. "

"THANK YOU,MAAM!" pasigaw nilang sabi. Well, that annoys me really.

"Was that the nice way to say thank you?!"I said angrily.

Obviously on their faces they were shocked about my reaction. They stayed quiet. That was the first time that I get angry to them. I inhale and exhale slowly to stay calm.

"Get your hand outs. We will be discussing Stylistics today. I expect you know that already since you have that since last week."

I think all my classes on that day made me so annoyed and angry. What's happening to me?

"Rain, let's eat." pag-aaya ni Ross.

"I'll eat lalter." I said while fixing my desk.

"Halika na."sabi ni Ross habang hilang hila niya ang braso ko.

"I said, I'll eat later!" I shouted inside the faculty. I look around and all eyes are looking ate me. I closed my eyes firmly then look at Ross.

"Ross,I-i am so--"

"Sorry, we're just concern about you. Nangangayayat ka na kasi. Well, I think the real Rain is returning."he said and walk away.

I am still standing still and all eyes are in me. I look to Jes and she seems so disappointed then she follow Ross. I stare to Rhea slowly walking towards Jes but she only bows her head.

Hays. I go back on my desk and drink all the water in my tumbler filling my tummy para hindi ako magutom.

An hour later, Im revising ny lesson plans and syllabus for the next semester. I heard the screeching noise of the door. I saw the group of Ross entering the faculty laughing  I focused my eyes in my comouter and never bother them. But I want to say sorry to Ross. Im waiting for him to have his seat in his desk pero parang nahihiya siya. I waited for more than a minute still focusing on what Im doing. He finally sat after.
