Cyres POV
I walked out on that classroom. I don't mind kung pinagtitinginan ako, kung pinagtsi-tsismisan ako. It's not new after all.
Pag labas ko there's a student in the hallway. All eyes on me. Tulala man pero nakuha ko pang matawa. As if a zombie is walking on the cat walk or red carpet kung pagtinginan. Para akong artista na nagkaroon ng issue.
Hindi ko namamalayan na nasa roof top na ako. Nakatayo lang ako sa gitna thinking of what did happen. I swear, I didn't do that. My heart was breaking pero wala ng luha na lumalabas sa mata ko. Its already tired na gusto ng pumikit.
Nahiga ako sa bench. And I close my eyes. Nakaramdam ako ng antok at diko na namalayan na nakatulog ako.
----
In my dreams everything was okay. Lahat masaya. Lahat walang problema. Walang iniintindi. Walang umiiyak puro tawa.
In my dreams, I have complete family.
I have my mother na mag aasikaso pagka gising ko para asikasuhin pagpasok. Maghahanda ng baon at mag aayos ng buhok. Hihintayin sa pag uwi. Ipagluluto ng meryenda, ng dinner at hahatiran ng gatas bago matulog.
I have my father, na tuturuan ako when I have homeworks and projects, drive me to school back and forth.
I have my best friend who will not leave me even in my toughest and darkest time. I have friends who will fight for me.
But they are just my dreams.
Dreams are not true. Because its just a dream.
I woke up in my beautiful dream when I heard someone.
"Why are you sleeping here?" I saw Harry standing in front of me.
Bumangon ako. Pero walang salitang lumabas sa bibig ko. Naramdaman ko ang bigat ng mata ko alam kong maga ito kaya nahihirapan akong idilat ito.
"Do you need money that much?" he asked.
Hindi pa rin ako umiimik. I didn't do that....
It's really hurt when someone you thought believes in you is now asking a question with insult like as if I am the most desperate thief in the world. Ang sakit lang.
"Be thankful, Barbie didn't tell that to her parents. Otherwise you'll be in trouble." He said again. So why is he telling this now?
"I am already in trouble." Yun lang nasabi ko. Nanunuyo din lalamunan ko.
"Huh?" He said.
"The hell I care I'll be in trouble when I'm already in.? My whole life is a mess so I don't mind being in Jail or being expelled." Saad ko.
"Why are you talking like that?" Tanong nya
"You know what? Kahit naman magsalita ako. No one will believe me. Right? Even you." Di ko napigilan pumatak ang mga luha sa mata ko.
"So if I'd be in trouble, then let it be. Even if that trouble will lead me to death, I don't mind. Mas okay pa yon. Living here is like living in hell. Death is not painful... mas masakit pa mamuhay sa mundo na to. Sa mundong walang alam kundi ang husgahan, insultuhin, pagtripan, pagtawanan at kung ano-ano pa. " wika ko.
