VAI.

Malalim ang gabi. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin. Malamyos na musika sa malapit ay naririnig ng dalawang taong kasalukuyang hinahabol ang hininga.

Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa nangyari. My head—and especially my heart couldn't decipher what exactly has happened.

"Rye . . ." I whispered his name.

He blinked. Tila pino-proseso rin ang pangyayari. We kissed. That was it. At nakakapagtaka, this was the first intimate moment I had with him—pero bakit parang napaka-komportable? Bakit hindi man lang ako kinabahan?

Why do I find comfort between his arms and with his kisses?

"Rye . . ." muli kong sambit.

He tilted his head. 

"I'm not saying sorry for what  I did," he said.

Umiling-iling ako. That's not what I meant. Hindi iyon ang ibig kong sabihin sa mga nangyayari. Dahil mas mataas siya sa akin ay kinailangan kong itaas ang aking paningin upang harapin ang mga mata niya.

I looked deep into his ash-gray eyes still full of emotions I can now name.

Muli kong ibinuka ang aking bibig para tanungin siya sa katanungang paniguradong magkakaroon ng lamat sa pagitan namin.

"What will happen to us?" I asked.

I'm not a new student anymore. 

I'm already part of one of the most dangerous clubs in this school and I've been friends with the dangerous owners of this school and now . . . I'm associating myself fucking romantically with one of the school's dangerous students?

It's like suicide.

Sumeryoso ang mukha ni Rye sa naging tanong ko. I know he already thought about this beforehand. I know he already knows what he will be risking if this continues.

"I'm ready for everything, Rainelle." He said, whispering my name. And everything just stopped.

Napaiwas ako ng tingin dahil hindi ko kinakaya ang intensidad ng mga titig niya. How . . . just how can he nonchalantly say all of this? Paano niya nasasabi ang lahat ng ito nang hindi manlang nagdadalawang-isip?

From the start, has he already decided?

Napakagat ko ang labi dahil sa tindi ng aking emosyon. Magkahalong takot, lungkot, pagkamangha at saya. 

Of course. 

Of course, he knew.

Tumango-tango ako sa sinabi niya. 

"Ditto, Rye. Ditto."

MAVIS.

"Mav, can you please roam around outside while nag-aayos kami dito?" Reyn asked. 

Mahina akong tumango at hindi nagsalita. I walked towards the entrance of the gymnasium.

Mayroon pang ibang estudyante na yumuyuko kapag nakakasalamuha ako o nakikita akong naglalakad sa harap nila. Ang iba nama'y binabati ako ngunit mahina ang boses, hindi ko alam kung nahihiya lang o natatakot na.

I only stared at them coldly. It wasn't in the rules to act friendly to every student, it would just give them the thought of taking advantage of you.

"I'm ready for everything, Rainelle."
