Chap 15

Yoshiro's POV

Yeah, they're chatting, what ever. Naramdaman ko yung uhaw ko kaya I poured water in the glass

"So when will you start to attend classes?" tanong ni kuya then I took the glass of water

"As soon as I got enrolled and I'm hoping that I would be in the same class as you" pagkarinig ko ng sagot ni Kiara bigla na lang humigpit yung grip ko sa baso that broke the glass.

Agad namang lumapit si kuya at dun ko lang nakita na nasugatan pala yung palm ko

"Ano bang ginagawa mo?" nainis ako sa tanong niya kaya inirapan ko siya

After a while, dumating siya with the janitor to clean the mess I made

"Be careful next time" sabi ni kuya tapos bumalik siya dun sa tabi ni Kiara

Binelatan ko lang siya nung hindi siya nakatingin. I searched this Kiara girl and I found out na naging leading lady pala siya ni kuya sa isang movie then dun na daw nagsimula yung friendship nila. Friendship daw, landian yan! >=. Nalaman ko din na isa pala siya sa mga ayaw kong idols pero i-oobserve ko muna siya. 6 pm na nung nagpaalam yung Kiara girl at hinatid muna siya ni kuya sa labas.

"Ang init ata ng dugo mo sa kanya?" sabi ni dad na nakaupo ngayon sa gilid ng bed

"She's one on our lists pero i-oobserve ko muna siya before deciding things"

"Sa pagkakaalam ko may something daw sa kanila ni Dustin"

"Ano naman ngayon?" inis kong tanong

"Mag-ingat ka, baka agawin niya sayo si Dustin"

"Wala akong pakialam dad" inis kong sabi

"Your face betrays you, your face is sad"

"That doesn't mean anything" depensa ko naman

"Kilala kita Yoshiro Steves, I know when you're lying"

Pagpasok ni kuya tinanong ko agad siya

"Sinabi mo ba sa kanya kung anong dapat gawin pag nasa school na siya?"

"Yung pangalan mo sa school, yung hindi niya sasabihin na nasa hospital ka, yung sa seat, sa JCR etc. sinabi ko na lahat"

"Good"

"Dad, may I talk to you for a while?" tumango naman si dad then lumabas sila ng room

Di ko nalang yun pinansin at nilantakan yung dala ni kuya. Isang lingo na pala akong na-confine sa hospital, ngayon I'll spend the whole week to rest at mag home study para kahit wala ako ng 2 weeks alam ko na ang topic nila. Andito ako sa kwarto ko, nakahilata, nagbabasa when someone knocked on the door, si kuya lang pala.

"Mind if I join you?" tanong niya

"M..." umupo siya sa floor, I mean humiga habang hawak yung book niya then narinig ko nalang na nagbeep yung laptop ko, I checked it at sa underground website yun.

'Papalitan ni Kiara si Devily as the editor-in-chief ng high school paper'

Napabangon ako sa nabasa ko kaya tinawag ko agad si kuya

"Kuya, maligo ka na at magpalit, pupunta tayo sa school" then I pushed him out of my room

Pagkababa ko andun na siya sa sala na naghihintay

"Ang cute mo pala pag naka casual clothes ka lang"

"Get your bike and let's go"

"Bakit ka ba nagmamadali?"

"Basta, sumunod ka nalang"

Pagdating namin sa school dumiretso agad ako asa JCR

"Nga pala, inayos namin to ni sir Alfred last week"

Good, nothing changed, andun parin lahat. I locked the JCR at pumunta kay sir Alfred and I just barged in at nakita ko dun si Kiara talking to him.

"Devily..." gulat na sabi ni sir Alfred

"Ano tong nabalitaan ko?" I straightly asked him ignoring Kiara

"Uhmm..."

"Listen, I'm not going to give up the JCR and my position as the editor-in-chief" I directly told Kiara

"I asked the head of this school and the teachers and they all agreed that I will replace you"

"Replace me? How could a new comer like you would be allowed just that easy"

"Coz I'm a famous actress, everyone knows that I'm smarter and I've proven it already these past few days and I'm not like you... anti-social, bully... you're a bad influence"

"Oh, that's why... maybe you just bribed them" her smily faced turned into a grumpy one at tumayo sa tapat ko

"I'm not that kind of person YOSHIRO"

"You're breaking one of my rules chick" sabay up and down ko sa kanya

"I'm going to tell everyone that you got hospitalized for a week" then she headed to the door

"You might want to know the consequences of your actions" she stopped and turned around

"What? You're going to wreck my career like what you did to the others? I'm telling you Yoshiro, I'm not an easy foe" then nag walk out siya

"So am I" saka ako ngumiti

Nagulat na lang ako nung sinundan siya ni Dustin. Magsama kayo!!. I went to the door and slammed it at bumalik kay sir

"Don't tell me you're going to side with her" I looked straightly sa mga mata niya then ngumisi siya

"After what I witnessed just now? I won't let her take your position at tama ka sa sinabi mo kanina sinuhulan niya yung ibang teachers. Pero hindi ko maipagkakaila na matalino talaga siya"

"Tell this to the others"

"Yeah"

Bumalik ulit ako sa JCR and locked myself in. I spent my time trying to calm myself. Nung naboring ako tinignan ko lahat. Yung mga posters napalitan, yung mga papers at ibang documents nasa tamang lugar. Umupo ako sa swivel chair at inopen yung computer then I saw a strange folder so binuksan ko yun. It's a music video, Your Guardian Angel featuring Final Fantasy Crisis Core.

Muntik na akong maiyak, eto kasi yung time na namtay si Zack tapos si Cloud naman... ah basta yun. I keep on playing it. I love the music. Naalala ko tuloy yung panaginip ko tungkol dun sa guardian angel ko. Naramdaman ko naman na uminit yung pisngi ko. Kailan ko ba siya makikilala?

"Dev buksan mo to" nabosesan ko si kuya kaya inopen ko yung door at hindi ko maexplain yung facial expression niya

"Ok ka lang?" pumasok lang siya at umupo, sinara ko naman yung door at umupo sa harap niya

"Kiara, she's not going to stop until she gets what she wants"

"Bakit ba kasi andito siya in the first place?" inis na tanong ko

"It's because of me"

"Obviously, so what's troubling you?" I crossed my arms
