Picture.

"Pass your papers." I looked at my back and took all of the papers Gei handed me. Another one of my nerdy classmates who's into books.

Napahinga ako ng maluwag nang matapos na yung final exam namin para sa araw na ito. Next week is another sem break. Which means more work in the deck.

Starting tomorrow, it'll be the day count before that very day. That very day when I will permanently be erased from their lives. They could do the test again, but it would be a lot of work.

I looked at the classroom's door and was expecting Kayden to be there. But I was just not expecting Brett to be there.

Nakasandal siya sa pader habang maraming tao ang kinukuhanan siya ng litrato. Marami ring nakatingin sa kanya. It's even my first time to see him waiting at a classroom door.

Dahang-dahan kong kinuha yung selpon ko mula sa aking bulsa. I took a picture of him, at kung minamalas nga naman, tumunog ito. Hindi nga pala siya nakasilent.

Napatingin siya sakin at umirap sa hangin.

"Pati ba naman ikaw?" Natawa ako sa reaksyon niya. He placed his arm on my shoulder and whispered by my ear. "I'm feeling uncomfortable here, let's head to the caf."

Gamit yung index finger ko ay tinulak ko yung ulo niya papalayo sakin. Nauna nalang akong naglakad habang nakahalukipkip

Naramdaman ko yung presensya niya na nasa tabi ko kaya sabay kaming pumasok sa caf.

Kitang-kita mo yung gulat sa mga mata ng mga estudyante na kumakain. Palagi naman kami magkasama noon, but right now, like this? Magugulat talaga sila.

His arm was on my shoulder, sinong hindi mababahala doon?

I quickly took his arm off of me. "Ang bigat." Sabi ko pa.

"I quit." He placed both of his hands in the air.

"Correction, it's supposed to be surrender." Pagtatama ko.

"Whatever." I gave him an amused smile before going to where Denise and Kayden is.

Kayden was being his typical self, at least with headphones, and Denisse was waving at us. I saw Kayden looking up to where we were. And stood up.

He walked up to me and held one of my shoulders to stop me from walking. "Wait for me here. I'll buy you food."

I bit my lip and nodded.

"Alam mo bang nagasawa yan." Napatingin ako kay Denisse nang sinabi niya yon.

"Nagasawa?" Napakunot yung noo ko. "What?"

Narinig kong napatawa si Brett. "Nain-love kase yan nong mga twenty-two, well, hindi pa naman totally, pero gusto niya lang makapagmove-one sa nangyari."

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. "In love?" I suddenly felt like I was being crushed. Of course! Patay ka na sa mundo nila! Hindi naman siya pwedeng mamuhay sa nakaraan diba?

"Kinasal sila, nagkaroon ng anak. Never knew it would be unhappy which was totally unexpected." Biglang siyang napa-aray. When I looked at his sister, she was throwing sharp daggers at him.
