TWELVE.
Halos dalawang oras na akong gising but I didn't bother to get up. I'm still thinking of what happened yesterday.
I don't know if Tita Shize is still here o umalis na siya kahapon. After what happened on the afternoon, I didn't bother going down to eat rabbit food.
I didn't even drink blood for crying out loud kaya talagang gutom ako ngayon. I don't have any blood left on my blood fridge, and I don't want to talk to Thean or Van for blood.
Busy ako sa pag-iisip tungkol sa gyera. Ilang buwan pa ba ang kailangan naming itagal dito? We need to train faster and get stronger. We shouldn't waste any time.
"Alexa?" It's Jenna.
"Are you alright, bitch?" She asked.
Inirapan ko siya, "I'm fine, bitch, thank you for the concern" Sagot ko.
She laughed, "Well, alam kong di ka kumain ng human food kahapon and Ken told me that you don't have any blood bags left kaya nag-dala ako ng blood bag." She said and handed me the blood bags.
"Thanks." I muttered and started drinking.
"You should get down you know, all of us are worried." Jenna said.
I rolled my eyes again, "As if Lora and Joy the bitches are worried." Sabi ko
This time, si Jenna naman ang umirap, "Stupid. I meant for Ken, Thean, Van, Cody and Azrael. Hindi kasama yung iba." She said.
Natahimik kami pareho ni Jenna, "I felt guilty, too, you know." She quietly said after a minute or so
"Don't be." Sabi ko sakanya.
"Dumating ang second task kahapon, it's written in a piece of paper, town address lang ang nakalagay and everybody decided na mamayang hapon tayo aalis." She said, I nodded.
"Bababa na ko, at ikaw, bumaba ka na din, hindi bagay sayo ang magdrama." She said.
I rolled my eyes, "Hindi ako nagdradrama."
Jenna left while laughing, I sighed, I don't think I can face Van and Thean yet. I mean, yeah, kapatid ko sila but I hollered at them yesterday. That was.... rude and sassy.
Ken entered my room, he's staring at me directly in my eyes as he sat beside me. Inirapan ko siya for no reason at all. Ugh. I'm becoming an odd person.
"What?" Inis kong tanong when he's still staring and not talking. "Kung naaawa ka sakin then stop it. I don't need mercy" I added.
He chuckled, "Alam ko namang hindi mo kailangan nun, you're a tough, rude, sassy half-blood vampire." He said, inirapan ko siya.
Natahimik kami for a couple of minutes then I felt Ken's hand on mine, hindi ako bumitaw o nagreklamo. I just sat there silently.
"You know that I'm here for you, right?" He asked, then slowly, I nodded.
I put my head on Ken's shoulders, "Thank you" I whispered, embarassed to say thank you to him.
He chuckled, "Van and Thean felt sorry when you left." He said, I nodded.
Hindi naman nila kasalanan iyon. That's my fault for keeping it a secret from all of them. And damn it, I'm so dramatic. Ayaw ko ng madrama.
Bumaba na kami ni Ken and I saw Van and Thean on the living room, they walked towards me and, "Lex, look -- it's just that -- well--"
Tinignan ko si Thean ng masama bago umirap, why is he talking like that? As if he's some coward nerd. Tuh. Ayaw na lang sabihin ng diretso.
"Well, ganito kasi, Lex--" He said.
