Tale Of Lucy Nakahara

Chapter 42

"No... it's not me. It was Margarret."

She scoffed and mocked me. "See? Told you!" sigaw niya sa mga nandito.

"Blaming someone? Using the Dark Land's princess as your escape goat?"

Napatingin ako kay Annya nang sabihin niya yun. Puno ng gulat ko siyang tiningnan, pati siya huhusgahan din ako?

"What Lucy? Cat got your tongue? We all know that you have a bad temper pero 'di naman namin aakalain na ganito kalala. We knew you hate Mayka and the other transferees but that doesn't give you the right to kill her and involve innocent people." puno ng galit niyang saad. Her eye are blazing with hatred, anger and disbelief.

"Hindi ako yun! I didn't kill her and those people! Si Margarret yun!"

I heard them all scoffed.

"What did she do? Nagpanggap na ikaw at nagsimulang manggulo dito?" puno ng sarkasmong tanong ni Dara na mabilis kong sinang ayunan. I nodded.

"Inatake niya ako sa bahay namin and then I blacked out. I woke up in the middle of a forest and then—"

"Sinong maniniwala sayo?" napahinto ako sa pagsasalita ng biglang magsalita si Dara.

Her words stopped me from defending myself, her mocking voice, their stares stopped me. Isa-isa kong tiningnan ang mga kaibigan ko, sila Annya, sila Mirko. I looked at them one by one at sa klase ng tingin na binibigay nila sa'kin ang tuluyang nagpaguho ng mundo ko, tuluyang nag pawala ng pag-asang may maniniwala sa'kin.

"Believe me... hindi ako yun." I pleaded.

"We saw what we saw." Yurika said.

Nilingon ko siya.

"You're an impostor." I breathe.

"You're a fake." ulit ko at sinigurado kong rinig na nila ako, ng mga taong nasa paligid ko. Sunod-sunod na bulungan ang narinig ko mula sa mga taong nakatingin sa amin.

Sunod kong nilingon si Ivan at puno ng pang aakusang tinuro.

"Trydor ka."

Sunod kong tinuro si Marru.

"Peke ka." mariin kong saad bago ko tinapunan ng tingin ang lahat na nakatitig sa akin na para bang nawawala na ako sa tamang huwisyo. They all looked at me like I'm a mad man.

"May trydor dito! They set me up! Ivan is one of the traitors! Yurika and Marru are fake, nasa poder ng Dark Land ang totoong Yurika!" I shouted and I can hear desperation on my voice.

I wanted to clear my name. I did not do this.

"They all set me up! Hindi ako ang pumatay kun'di si Margarret, ginawa nila to para sirain ako and I don't know siguro para gantihan ako? I don't know!" I desperately shouted trying to convinced them and make them believe me.

"Ivan is a traitor. I saw it! They abducted Yurika!"

I pointed my fingers again at Ivan who's looking at me with void emotions.

"You're a traitor! You think you can pull me down this way?! No—"

Isang sampal ang nagpahinto sa'kin... sampal mula kay Tiffany.

"Will you stop pointing fingers?! You're nonsense Lucy! What you're saying are nonsense! Stop putting blame to others! Aminin mo na lang ang lahat! We saw what you did with our own eyes!"

"No! Nagsasabi ako ng totoo! Trydor si Ivan at impostor si Yurika at Marru! Can't you see it?!"

Tinapunan ko ng tingin ang mga studyante at gurong nakatingin sa amin.
