[Gemini Ong's Point Of View]
Napailing nalang ako nang makita kong seryosong lumabas ng chess club si king kyle looks like our president again is the winner,well after that day when he visited this place two weeks ago he always comes and challege our president a smirk just formed in my lips hoping for answers eh?
napailing nalang akong pumasok sa opisina ni faye,hmm looks like she's not here.
"Looking for someone?"
ngising sabi ng tao sa likuran ko na ikinagulat ko nalamang.
"Pres you startled me geez"
kunot noong sabi ko na ikinangisi lang nya saka inilock ang pintuan at bumalik uli sa table nya,Faye Benitez....I didn't even noticed her,I didn't even felt her presense.
"Gemini Ong,19 years of age,the campus loner,Vice president of my chess club,Parents?deceased,reasson?hmm ano nga ba?"
ngising sabi nito na ikinaseryoso ko.
"You know what there's something incommon with us.We both like observing you being the campus loner while me?a didsguised of having no sense of direction,Pero ano nga bang inoobserve mo dito?"
ngiting dugtong nya habang may subo subong loli pop at pinaglalaruan ang isang queen chess piece sa kamay nya.
"Do I still have to state your job and your goals?or you REAL objectives?"
saad nya sabay tawa na nagpakuyom nalamang sa mga kamao ko.
"Enough!"
I shouted saka nilabas ang poison niddles ko at inatake sya na gad naman nitong naiwasan ng ganun kadali,just as I thought she's not just an ordinary student here.
"You know what?Your actions is kinda dangerous,sigurado ka bang alam mo kung ano ang pinapasok mo? all things has it's concequences sana lang handa kang harapin yun,call this number if you have enough guts"
ngising sabi nya sabay abot sakin ng isang calling card at saka iniwan na ako dun,napabuntong hininga nalamang akong itinago iyon saka lumabas na ng opisina nya.

(Hall way)
'OMG!king kyle is too hot kyaaah'
'but hmmm he's kinda cute reading a book'
'I didn't know he can live without his gadgets even for a second hihi still handsome though'
'I like his aura today kyaaaaaaahhh'
'Is that the loner gemini?'
'Yeah the chess club vice president'
'She's beautiful'
'yeah but too bad she seems to don't have any interest in boys'
'tsk I got rejected by her'
'pfft what do you expect,well even though she's beautiful she's still a geek'
napailing nalamang ako sa mga usap usapan sa paligid napangisi nalang ako nang makita sa kabilang bahagi ng hallway si king kyle...or is it really his name or is it even him? napailing nalang tuloy akong binilisan ang lakad ko hanggang sa makarating ako sa rooftop.
"Long time no see...Gemini"
ngising sabi ng pamilyar na boses sa likod ko napailing nalang tuloy akong humarap sakanya.
"your still the same you can't even put your books away from you even for a second"
ngising sabi ko sabay sandal sa railings.
"Well I'm not like him"
poker face na sabi nya na nagpatawa lamang sakin.
"So it's been uhmm 6 years I think?Hindi ko alam may balak ka pa palang lumabas sa lungga mo"
ngiting sabi ko na nagpaseryoso lang sakanya.
"Well even though I'm too busy I still know what's going on in my surroundings"
walang emosyong sabi nya.
"You two do look like each other that much the other won't be able to notice it eh?but the funny part is even you two are always the same you still has difference,hahaha they did thought your kyle earlier"
iling iling na sabi ko na nagpairap lang sakanya.
"So did you made up your mind?Want me to help you?"
ngising sabi nya,napaiwas tingin nalang tuloy ako.
"As if I will"
nakaiwas tinging sabi ko parin hanggang sa dahan dahan syang lumapit sakin sabay yakap ng mahigpit napabuntong hininga nalang tuloy ako.
"Please let me do this for you masyadong delikado ang pinasok mo,just this once gemini...please hindi ko alam kung anong magagawa ko kung may mangyaring masama sayo"
napayuko nalang ako sa sinabi nya,pinipilit ko syang itulak pero masyado syang malakas.
"6 years past kung hindi mo ko nagawang kumbinsihin noon hindi mo parin ako magagawang kumbinsihin ngayon,time didn't heal my heart but hardened it,and I won't be able to forgive myself I will not see those people suffer,Hinding hindi ako matatahimik kung hindi sila mawawala sa mundong ito."
puno ng galit na sabi ko pero lalo lang nyang hinigpitan ang yakap nya sakin hanggang sa diko na napigilan ang pagbagsak ng mga luha sa mga mata ko.
"Please gemini hindi ko mapapatawad ang sarili ko kung hahayaan parin kitang gawin to!I'm always here for you ako ang lalaban para sayo"
pagmamakaawa nya na lalo lang nagpaluha sakin.
"Sorry but I have to go"
Saad ko sabay pilit na pagpupumiglas pero ayaw nyang bumitiw.
"I won't let you go,Not in the past,Not now not ever!laban natin to please let me---"
hindi na naipagpatuloy nito ang sasabihin nya ng putulin ko na ito.
"KING AUSTIN FUKUDA ENOUGH!"
sigaw ko naramdaman ko namang unti unting lumuwag ang yakap nya napahagulgol nalang tuloy akong itinulak sya ng mahina saka tumakbo papuntang ladies room,mabuti nalang talaga at walang tao inilock to ito saka naghugas ng muka napakuyom nalang ako ng kamao ko habang nakatingin sa repleksyon ko sa salamin.
"Sorry...but I have to do this"
napabuntong hininga nalang akong kinuha ang calling card na nasa bulsa ko saka tinawagan ang number na nakalagay doon.
"Gemini Ong..."
a cold and intimidating voice answered making my heard race hindi ko alam pero para bang nanginig ang buong kalamnan ko nang marinig ang boses na yun.
"HELL..."
nanginginig paring sabi saka napaupo nalamang sa sahig,why did faye---does is mean that...
"If you want answers meet me at a certain place I'll text you where an what time well if you called this number now then you made up your mind right?"
saad nito napa buntong hininga nalang ako saka napakuyom ang mga kamao ko.
"Wala na akong pakielam sa buhay ko sangayon isa lang ang mahalaga sakin...so tell me are you willing to help?"
this is it...wala ng atrasan to.
"Count me in and I'll count on you"
