TGIWS: Phoenix Ryler Velasquez's POV (Completed)

Part 45

Her eyes were looking straight at the TV where the lessons are. Binaba ko ang tingin sa kamay niya, she was braiding the side of her hair.

Sinipa niya ako kaya inalis ko ang tingin sa kaniya. Iyong buhok niya na lang ang hinawakan ko. Her hair smells like dove shampoo. Ang bango. I was smelling it.

Inalis ko ang kamay ni Mavis nang balak niyang hawakan. I saw Trevor laugh with everyone. I rolled my eyes before continuing to caress her hair.

I just can't handle my sleepiness. Inaantok ako sa sinasabi ng Teacher sa harap. It looks like a bedtime story... nakakaantok. Pero nang marining ko ang lesson ng Teacher, nawala ang antok ko.

We wanted to know if Darlene could forgive those people who hurt her or kung patatawarin pa ba niya?

Halatang ayaw sumagot ni Darlene pero pinipilit siya ng lahat para sumagot.

"May gusto lang kaming malaman tungkol sa sagot mo," Dash said to Darlene before looking away.

Hindi alam ni Darlene ang rason kung bakit gusto nilang sumagot siya. Gusto lang naming malaman ang sagot niya.

Nilingon ko si Darlene dahil ang tagal niyang sumagot. Pati ang iba, nakatingin na sa kaniya.

"Sa tingin ko... hindi na." In that answer, I stopped.

After knowing the reason why she said, No, it's because that person ruined her trust. She was right, if the person loves you, you will never ruin her trust no matter what happens. It's hard to earn trust, that's why she said no.

Hindi ko na magawang makinig sa harap dahil paulit-ulit na pumapasok sa isip ko ang sagot niya.

Kahit naglalaro kami ngayon ay iyon ang nasa isip ko. It kept on rotating inside my head. Hindi niya talaga kami kayang patawarin, 'no? Kahit na matagal ng tapos iyong pustahan, still ginawa namin.

"Ipapasa ko 'tong cellphone sa taong laging inis pero BJ ang pangpakalma."

Napalingon ako sa sinabi ni Renz. What the fuck? Wait, I don't know what he's talking about... if it's the buko juice or the... you know... but still hinagis ko ang nadampot kong bag kay Gael.

Tanginang bibig talaga na mayroon 'to.

"Anong BJ?" Darlene asked.

I almost coughed. Hindi na lang ako nagsalita at sinaway si Darlene para hindi na siya magtanong.

"B... Buko juice." Trevor answered as he kicked Gael.

"E, teka lang 'di ba-" Tinakpan ko ang bibig ni Darlene bago pa niya matapos ang sasabihin.

"Darlene, I said stop it," saway ko.

She removed my hands from her mouth. "Sasabihin ko lang na-." I cut her sentences.

"Shut it." I looked at her straight. "Close your mouth."

Baka kung ano kasi ang iniisip niya. Tumahimik naman siya. Ibinaba ko ang kamay ko sa ilalim kung nasaan ang kamay niya para hawakan.

Masama akong tumingin kay Gael, he closed his mouth and peace sign. After having these kinds of shit games, they have a kind of party here. Nakakaasar, ang ingay nilang lahat.

Noong mag-lunch time ay lumabas kami. We headed to the cafeteria and everyone was there. I ordered food for Darlene and then we shared a table with her brother.

May pinag-uusapan sila pero wala akong pakialam. It's about Zay and his question. Sumagot naman silang lahat kaya hindi ako nakasali.

I was holding Darlene's hand, sinusubuan ko siya ng fries... wait, nakokornihan na rin ako sa sarili ko... fuck, ganito pala mainlove. You're doing a thing that you not supposed to do. But I don't care though I'll do what I want.
