Fire Heart: Her Secret

Chapter 24

Ash's POV

Kanina pa ako nakatulala habang nagdediscuss si Ma'am Ebony, ang science teacher namin. Dalawang araw na ang nakalipas nang umalis si Daniella. We're also unable to think properly because we're preoccupied with wondering where she is. How long will she be gone? Is she going to return early or not? Mrs. Delaney, well, if only she hadn't done anything rash.

"Okay, class dismiss." Tumayo agad ako at aalis na sana sa classroom nang may humawak sa aking balikat. "San ka pupunta?" Takang tanong ni William, hindi man halata pero nararamdaman ko, may kunting lamig sa tanong niya. "Magpapahangin." Ikli kong sakit at tinanggal ang kanyang kamay sa aking balikat.

Why am I so worried about something that shouldn't bother me?...

Pumunta ako sa canteen para bumili ng makakain. Pagdating ko doon ay umorder agad ako since binigyan nila ako ng daan. I mean, this is a good thing since I am not in the mood to wait for anything right now.

"One Large burger and Coffee Latte." The girl immediately told to wait for a minute and right after, she gave me her order. Now that I got my food, I quickly exited the canteen, but on my way out, I encountered the woman whom I hate. I was compelled to clench my teeth. I'm tempted to strangle her just thinking about what she did to her. Nakita niya ako kaya lumapit siya sakin.

"Ash bakit ikaw lang mag isa?" Masayang tanong niya sakin. She sure is happy that I'm alone huh? What did she expect, I'll let her go with me? Now I won't let that happen. "Why do you care?" Malamig kong tanong sa kanya. And she still had the audacity to smile. Like, I am warning you to stay away from me.

"Wala lang, gusto sana kitang---" Pinutol ko siya agad. "Don't follow me stupid fly, I am not in the mood to deal with all your bullshit right now." Nilagpasan ko siya pero hinawakan niya ang aking braso dahilan para mapatigil ako.

"I can't follow you but Daniella can? What does she--" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at pumiglas sa kanyang hawak. "I'd rather hang out with her than to some creep who acts like my girlfriend." Ngumisi ako sa kanya, inasahan na lalayuan niya pero ningitian parin niya ako. This girl is just crazy.

"But I can be." I clench my jaw.

"You will never be. She will be the only one for me." Napaatras siya sa paglalim ng boses ko at tumakbo papalayo sakin. That serves you right, bvtch. Agad akong nakahinga ng maluwag at tumungo sa rooftop.

Pagdating ko doon, sinalubong ako ng malamig na hangin. Lumakad ako sa bench at nilapag ko ang aking pagkain. I recalled the first time Daniella offered me her food, and I was hesitant to consider it. Even though I hesitated, she still gave it to me because I was hungry too. That made me smile. Napamulsa ako habang tumingala sa ere.

Umupo ako sa bench at kinain ang aking pagkain. Pagkatapos kong kumain ay umalis ako para pumunta sa dorm ni Daniella ng patago, ayaw kong may makakita sakin. Inikot ko angaking mata paligid, wala namang presensya o kahit estudyante na naglalakad. Tumakbo ako at nang makarating na ako sa 5th floor, nakahinga ako ng maluwag.

Agad ko ginamit ang aking Air Teleportation. I successfully got inside her dorm. Her room is like a fireplace because of the colors and everything. Malinis ang dorm niya and I can smell her scent everywhere. Lumingon ako sa mesa at nakita ang isang sobre. Dahil na curious ako, binuksan ko ito at binasa.

Where are you now my lady?

Yan ang nakalagay sa letter. Wait the minute, I recognize this handwritting. I have no idea how he got inside but this is so creepy. Out of knowhere, I shred the envelope into pieces and clench my fists. Is this the reason why he's acting cold around me now?
