Hey, Rebel SEASON ONE COMPLETED [The MUERTE Series]

ELEVEN

After that day, Rebel had been very distant to us. Kahit na si Cherby na kaibigan nya, hindi nya pinapansin. There comes that day when we saw Cherby trying to talk to Rebel but she became a 'one question, one answer' type. Cherby became very sad because of that. Minsan din namin syang sinubukang kausapin pero she didn't even looked at us.

She now has a weapon, and that is her earphones. She always wear them when she's alone. I even caught her wearing it without realizing that it wasn't plugged to her phone. She only uses it so no one would talk to her.

She became to silent and when someone tries to be nice to her, hindi nya pinapansin. Yung iba nga binabara pa nya, kaya wala kaming choice kundi ang panuorin at bantayan sya from afar. I was too sad but I wasn't able to show it. I miss her presence and her weirdness. I miss the way she hated me so much.

"Cherby eat you foods." I said saka inilapit sa kanya ang tray ng pagkain na binili ko para sa kanya. Sabay-sabay kaming kumain sa cafeteria dahil Thursday ngayon at sakto naman na pare-parehas ang oras ng vacant namin before the last subject.

Inilayo lang nya ulit ang tray saka tumingin sa akin ng may malungkot na mata, "Ayaw." she whispered then she shifted her gaze back to Rebel who is sitting on the table near ours.

I don't get why we're this sad and she looked so fine. Ano bang meron sa kanya na kahit hindi naman namin sya ganoon kaclose ay naaapektuhan kami sa pagbabago nya?

"Sa tingin ko we're under a spell at mangkukulam talaga si Rebel." I said.

They all looked at me.

"What are you saying?" Mike asked like I spoke plain stupid.

"I mean, how come we're sad when we had only one day with her?"

"I was wondering about that too. And I'm wondering why you're sad too." Renz said.

"I think we're only feeling this way kasi ito yung nakikita natin kay Cherby at nahahawa na tayo sa kabaliwan nya. Come on guys, it's been almost two months. Hindi pa ba kayo sanay ng ini-ignore nya tayo?" Alex asked.

I immediately threw a slice of carrot to him. "Kung hindi dahil sayo edi sana hindi nya tayo ini-ignore kaya wag kang magsalita ng ganyan!"

"Ooh look. The person who said he won't make friends with Rebel, is actually mad and can't get over her now. What kind of sorcery did you do Rebel?" nang-iinis pa nyang sagot.

I only glared at him then we all watched Rebel again.

Biglang nabuhay yung loob ko ng makitang may lumapit sa kanya. Pag pinansin nya ito, lalapitan ko rin sya!

Pero napakunot ang noo ko na yung bokalista ng band ng school pala iyon.

"Hey I'm just asking! Don't be mad." the guy said habang napaatras ng isang hakbang at naitaas ang kamay as if he already surrenders.

"Geez Rebel what happened? I thought you're nice." dagdag pa nya pero lumitaw ang disappointment sa mukha nya ng biglang isuot ni Rebel ang earphones nya.

Napailing din ako at napaiwas ng natingin. What happened to her? Sobrang laking epekto ba na may magpost ng pictures nya sa social networking site?

"I can't take this anymore." Cherby said then she stood up. Binitbit nya ang tray nya at lumakad papunta sa table ni Rebel. I was hesitant at first but I figured, I can't let my twin do this alone. So I stood up as well, carried my tray and followed her. My cousin did the same and I was glad they are on our backs.

"Rebel?" Cherby called as soon as we got infront of Rebel.

She looked at us wearing nothing but a straight face, then she slowly took her earphones of and gave us a questioning look.
