"So, bakit kinailangan pati ako ay iwasan mo, huh!?"

Lara's face cannot by painted anymore. Nasa main building kami para mag-enroll. Next week na ang pasukan pero ngayon lang kami nag-asikaso ni Lara dahil busy rin naman sa training at madalas ay pareho naming nakakalimutan kahit na madalas naman kaming nasa campus.

"Just because."

"Shit! Seryoso ka na d'yan!? Alam mo, masasapak na talaga kita! Nagpipigil lang ako!"

"Why? Nasabi ko naman na, ah? Bakit parang galit ka---"

"Tangina! Sinong hindi magagalit sa ginawa mo. Iniwasan mo lang ako nang halos dalawang linggo. Alam mo ba kung gaano ako nag-overthink kung may nagawa ba akong mali. Tapos malalaman kong dahil lang pala kay Julius---"

"Hindi ko naman gustong gano'n. Sadyang ayoko lang talagang magkita kami---"

"Malamang magkikita at magkikita kayo dahil nasa iisang campus tayo! Patayin ko na ba ang isa sa inyo para hindi niyo na makita ang isa't isa!?"

She said seriously while controlling her breath. She's really mad. Since earlier, she consistently nagged at me. Hindi talaga siya tumitigil hangga't sa hindi nalalaman ang rason ko. Siya nga talaga iyong taong hindi mapakali at overthinker. Aniya'y iniisip niya pa na baka may nakaka-offend siyang sinabi na ikinagalit ko.

"Dinamay mo pa talaga ako! Pero nagkausap na ba kayo ni Julius? Iyon ba iyong tungkol sa---"

"Hindi yon! Tss!"

"Eh, ano? Kung hindi naman pala siya galit noong nasipa mo 'yon---"

"Lara! Hindi nga dahil doon---"

"Eh, ano nga!? Naiinis na talaga ako, ah. Hindi talaga ako titigil---"

"Tss! Fine!" I closed my eyes and feel defeated.

She's really persistent and didn't want to leave me unless I tell her the truth. I looked at her while massaging my temple. She raised her brown and impatiently waiting for me to say something.

"It's not really about Ian... I just... Tss! I can't say it!"

Nagmaktol siya sa sinabi ko pero tumakbo na ako hanggang sa tuluyang makapasok ng building. Hindi na rin siya nakalapit sa akin dahil papunta siya sa area ng HUMMS habang ako naman ay sa STEM. Doon lang ako nakahinga kahit na masyado pa ring guilty sa ginawa.

That week went fast. Lara didn't mess me up or asked some question anymore. But the only thing that I regret about not telling her is ... she now thinks that I am much affected about what happened in between I and Ian which is not true. I actually moved on in that humiliation.

Bakasyon kami ng isang linggo dahil hindi na rin kami pina-training ni Sir dahil na rin sa nalalapit na pasukan. Hindi rin kami nagkita ni Ian. Well, that's okay though. I'm still keeping my distance. Our last talk was back when he asked me what's my problem and that was 2 weeks ago. I walked out that time and didn't answer him.

I preferred leaving him than answering those questions that can truly hurt me as far as I know. So, it's better be like this.

On my first day, magkasabay kaming pumasok ni Eli. Graduating na siya ngayong taon kaya paniguradong mas busy na siya sa pagiging President ng volunteer sa school. Si Kyle naman ay STEM din pala ang strand na pinili. I wish we were classmates, though. Dan finally moved in his new school. He's fine and even tell me that he saw a lot of pretty girls there. Well, it's not new to me. Dan is really like that.
