Don't You Dare

v

-James' POV-

Papunta sana ako sa gym nang may marinig akong boses ng mga babae kaya napahinto ako sa paglalakad.

"Ano, hindi ka makapalag ngayon?" rinig kong sabi ng isang babae na nasa kabilang banda ng pader na pumapagitan sa amin.

"Ano ba! May gagawin pa ako!"

Woah, that's a familiar voice. Is it Ree Li?

"Dare queen ka, 'di ba? Fight us! It's a dare!"

"Stop it! Ayaw ko kayong saktan."

"Anong stop? Wala kang magawa ngayon?"

"Pagkatapos mong landiin si James?"

"Hindi ko siya nilalandi! It's just a dare!"

"Anong dare, ha?!"

"Aray!"

"Ayan ang dapat sa malanding kagaya mo!"

"Attention seeker!"

That's it.

"TAMA NA 'YAN!" sigaw ko at pumunta kung nasaan sila. Nagulat ako nang makita kong nasa lapag na si Ree.

Ano ba 'tong ginawa ko? Bakit hinayaan ko pang marinig siyang masaktan bago ko sila tignan?

"J-James..."

"Don't you dare show your face to me again." mariing sabi ko sa mga babae at inalis na ang tingin sa nasa lapag na Ree para ituon ang tingin sa mga babaeng gumawa nito sa kaniya.

"Kung ayaw niyo mabasag ko 'yan at manghiram kayo ng mukha sa daga."

Nagsitakbuan sila kaya naman tinulungan ko na si Ree tumayo pero tinabig niya ang kamay ko at tumakbo palayo. Agad din naman akong tumayo para sundan siya.

Hindi siya kabilisan tumakbo kaya nasusundan ko siya. Nakita ko siyang pumasok sa auditorium.

Anong gagawin niya dito?

Pumasok din ako. Madaming tao pero madilim.

"Thank you! Thank you, Kyle Ho for a wonderful performance! Now, for the most awaited of all, from our very own school... Ree Li!"

At nakita ko siya sa may stage. Tumugtog na siya at kumanta.

"I often close my eyes and I can see you sad, you reach out for my arm and I'm woken from my dream."

"Although your heart is mine, it's hollow inside, I never had your love and I never will."

Woah, ang ganda ng boses niya.

"And every night I lie awake, thinking maybe you love me like I've always loved you."

"But how can you love me like I loved you when you can't even look me straight in my eyes."

Nakaka-iyak?

"I've never felt this way... to be so in love, to have someone there yet feel so alone."

"Aren't you supposed to be the one to wipe my tears, the one to say that you would never leave."

Nakakapanibago sa nararamdaman.

"The waters calm and still, my reflection is there, I see you holding me but then you disappear."

"All that is left of you is a memory in that only, exists in my dreams."

May kakaiba.

"I don't know what hurts you but I can feel it too and it just hurts so much to know that I can't do a thing."

"And deep down in my heart, somehow I just know that no matter what, I'll always love you."🎶

May nag iba nga ba?

"So why am I still here in the rain..."

"More! More! More!" sigaw ng mga tao pagkatapos ng pinerform niya.

Hindi ko alam na nag p-piano pala 'to si abnormal at hindi ko maitatanggi na maganda ang boses niya.

"Sige, sige. Pero last na 'to." nakangiting sabi niya na nasa stage.
