Just by the Window (COMPLETED)

Epilogue II

Fucking Logan.

What hell is his problem? Ano bang binabalak niya kay Tori? Hindi talaga maganda kutob ko sa lalaking iyon compared to Chester. I really want to punched him on his face when I saw him laughing with Tori.

"Huy, nakabusangot ka diyan?" Drex breaks my thought. Mas lalo akong nainis. "May gusto ka kay Tori, 'no?"

"What?"

He pointed where Tori is sitting. "Kanina ka pa naka-titig kay Tori," he whispered.

Am I?

"No," I quickly denied.

"Ah. So, kay Logan pala? Hindi ka pa ba nakaka-move on kay Mary? If I were you, hindi ko na gagawing textmate ang mga manloloko."

"What? Who told you I'm texting with Mary?"

"E, lagi kang nakangiti kapag nakatingin ka sa phone mo, e. The last time na nagkaka-ganyan ka, in love ka pa kay Mary. Tsk. Ang banal ng pangalan. Sobrang layo sa ugali. Alam mo, mas okay pa nga si Tori, e. Sa labas lang 'yung pagka-masungit, mabuting nilalang pala sa loob-loob."

My forehead creased upon hearing that words from him. "Do you like Tori?" I asked, because swear! Hindi ko alam iyong gagawin ko kapag nagkataon na may gusto nga siya kay Tori.

He scoffed. "Why don't you ask that to yourself? Ako pa tanungin mo, mas masahol pa 'yun sa kapatid ko."

I chose not to talk with Drex because I don't know where the hell did he get the news that I was texting Mary.

"So, tara? Student lounge natin gagawin," Eviara suggested as Sister Amore dismisses us.

"May class ba tayo sa religion tom?" Tori asked, sounds annoyed.

"Wala. Why?" Eviara replied.

"Siraulo talaga 'yung madreng 'yun. Bakit niya tayo pinapapasa ng pinapagawa niya sa hindi niya naman klase?" Tori's litany. She's right tho, but the fact that she hated the subject makes me wonder, too. I remember the time when we're in our 7th grade, she used to have the highest rank in Values Education. That's why I hated her so much, my mom wanted me to make it all to the top kaso sinira niya.

I was quitely following to where this group was heading. Student lounge is occupied so we needed to change our location. Drex suggested na sa school bleachers na lang para raw maliwanag since it's getting late naman na.

Natigilan ako nang biglang tumigil si Tori sa paglalakad. "Why?" I asked. Nilingon niya ako pero agad rin siyang umiwas. I was alarmed when she suddenly put her hands on her chest that made me realize that she was having a hard breathing.

Fuck, what's happening on her?

"Fuck, no..." she whispered.

I looked around to ask some help pero masyado nang malayo sina Drex. Agad kong hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat niya para mai-harap siya sa'kin. "What's the matter?" I calmly asked. I hope seeing me calm could help her calm as well.

She looked at me. Sobrang lapit namin sa isa't isa kaya kitang-kita ko iyong repleksyon ko sa mga mata niya.

"No, I'm okay," she replied.

No. It's not. I want to tell her that.

Her eyes telling me she's not.

Hours has passed and we all decided to go home. Tinapos ko nang maaga iyong task ko just to watch Tori's moves. She's definitely bothered by her spot. Lagi siyang palingon-lingon sa paligid niya na para bang pino-protekhan niya iyong sarili niya. I want to ask her, seeing her bothered makes me bother as well.
