Drag me Down (Flower Crown Series Two)

Drag Thirty

"So, you're telling me that I should fire Natasha's teacher, Miss Ava?" he started to asked after I stated about my concerns.

I looked at Natasha who's just staring at Sir Jackson. Parang pinapatay na niya ito sa titig. I don't know why pero parang may nararamdaman akong holistic galing kay Natasha.

I gazed at Sir Jackson. He's looking at me.

"As I have said Sir, if you let Natasha say wha-"

"I get it what you're trying to say Miss Ava" he take a deep breath. Umupo siya ng dahan-dahan sa swivel chair niya. He leaned on in and removed his gaze on us.

May kinuha siyang folder sa mesa niya and opened it.

"We'll get her tested. I observe her for three days from now on" he sighed and put down the folder he's holding.

"Is that all?" he raised his gaze on us. Tumiim-bagang ako. What the hell?! Ganyan ba talaga ang greeting ng mga owner?! Gosh! Bakit dito pa ako nakarating?!

I heard him chuckled kaya tumingin ako saglit sa kanya. He's making fun of my situation. It's just my concerns! Nakakainis dahil nacucurious pa ako sa owner ng center na'to.

"That's all Sir Jackson. If you excuse us" padabog kong pinatunog ang wheel ng wheelchair ko.

Padabog kong inikot ang wheelchair kaya hindi ko na nakita ang mukha ni Jackson and I did that on purpose dahil ayokong makita ulit 'yun. He's making my blood boils.

Magsasalita sana ako para sumunod sa akin si Natasha nang marinig kong magsalita si Jackson kaya napatigil ako.

"You're cute Miss Ava" I did not make a very single move. I just observed our environment. Tanging aircon lang ang naririnig ko just now.

I take a deep breath and buong puwersang humarap kay Jackson. That look. I hate how he smirked. Nakakairita na.

"Thank you for the compliment" matabang na saad ko and tinalikuran ko na talaga siya ng mabuti.

"Natasha, let's go" sabi ko kay Natasha. I saw at my peripheral vision na pumunta siya sa likuran ko. Laking gulat ko nalang when she pushed the wheelchair lightly.

"Natasha, stay right beside me. I can handle this"  I stated.

"I will help you Ate Ava. You were breathing aggressively" I heard her worried voice. I stopped. I know that those are visible but I can't help but to stop. She noticed it right away.

I sighed and nodded.

"I surrender" and I chuckled. She continued pushing the wheelchair until she stopped when we're infront of the door.

Umalis muna si Natasha sa likod ko and pull the glass door para makalabas kami. Laking gulat ko nalang nang biglang may tumulak sa wheelchair ko.

"Wha-"

"I insist" I heard Jackson's voice from behind. I rolled my eyes.

"No thanks. I can handle-"

"I insist" narinig ko naman ang pagmamatigas niya sa kanyang voice. Hindi na ako nakapalag nang tinulak naman niya kaagad para makalabas kami ng tuluyan sa office.

Nakita ko nalang si Natasha na nasa tabi ko at tumingin sa akin. She smiled at me.

Napaingos ako at tumingin sa nadadaanan namin. Just what the hell?! Ayoko na talagang makitang tinutulungan ako ng isang Jackson!

This will be the last time I saw his face!

"Where is your room Miss Ava?" I heard him asked. I rolled my eyes.
