19 Run Away

"He's bored with his life, that's why"

I heard her giggle and she hit my shoulder making me flinch a little. I turn my gazed and frown. I don't like that habit of her.

"But I had this urge that Alci likes you Cam"

"Remember? When you return his ID card? The way he look -"

"You're so imaginative Ella Marie. Why don't you eat again, I think you're just hungry" I said and stand up not wanting to heard her opinion

I check the time on my wrist watch again before I grab my bag beside me. I turn my gaze on her and she's now not saying anything making me laughed lightly. Good thing she didn't push it further.

"I need to do something, see you around" I bid

She smile brightly and wave her hand. I left her on the cafeteria and I walk towards the professor's office. It's a bit tiring because it's a little bit farther from the cafeteria, I also don't want to turn around near the art room because it's much farther in that way.

****

WITH my full strength, I pulled the white cloth that covered my huge canvas making it slowly fall into the floor.

"Oh My Goodness Cami..." I heard George whisper in awe behind me

I can't see her reaction but I bet she's now covering her mouth with her one hand just like what she usually do.

"This is indeed an art Ms. Xena" Ms. Fuentes commented

"It's not finish yet. Actually I'm planning to fill those white spaces on the upper corner" I said while staring at it intently

"Are you willing to auction this?" Ms. Fuentes ask me again and I stilled on my spot

Am I? A small smile form in my lips and nod my head.

"I guess" I hissed

I stared at my Phantashia Verus as I heard her laughed. It seems like I'm just looking at myself in the mirror, although not everyone can understand how I perceive it, I'm very much happy everytime I look at my Phantashia Verus.

I back to my reverie when I felt my phone vibrate. Apologetically, I look at Ms. Fuentes and George and they both smile at me. I excuse myself before I answer the call without knowing the caller's name.

"Where are you?" It greeted me with a sudden question

With wide eyes, I automatically turn around. Viscos is on the line! I thought he's busy?

"Why did you call?" I hissed with controlled voice

I walk fast to leave the art room, not wanting anyone to heard our conversation.

"I wanted to make sure you're okay" he said in calm voice filling my ears with his english accent tone making me nodded my head

I understand...

I took a deep breath, realizing what does it mean. He's really thoughtful, but sometimes it's irritating and annoying.

"I'm fine" I mumble back

"Are you sure?" He ask seriously

"Yes" I instantly reply

We both end up in silent. I honestly don't know what to say. Should I ask him how was the ceremony? Or should I ask him if he attended the ceremony? I don't know. I'm too tured to inquire those things, because it's like an endless repetitions. Redundant questions and redundant answers. That so tiring...

"I brought her a bunches of coliquet flowers just like what you instructed me to do" he voice out although I didn't ask him

"Trevar didn't attended the ceremony" he added and all I could do is to nod my head

Alder is really fooling around. Unlucky him because I'm not as foolish as him. I didn't fall from his trap.

"I called because I promise her that you'll be okay" He explain

I know...

"I am okay" I assure him

"You're not crying?" He make sure asking an assurance

By the tone of his voice, I know he's being sarcastic making me rolled my eyes. I'll surely smack his head if he's with me right now.

"I'm not crying" I hissed with irritation

He chuckle making me bit the inside of my mouth for wanting to exclaimed.

"You can now end the call, you're disturbing me" I rudely reply

I'm in the mood to talk to him. He's so nosy.

"You're grouchy again, not so you-"

'Sailing upon the sea,

the steams left in it's wake.

The veil shipping on it's cry,

it's final farewell.

If I were then to go,

beyond the hills of thatch.

Would I be greeted joyfully

by the summer air.'

Viscos voice became a whisper until it fades into the thin air as I heard that familiar song. It filleds my ear with it's soft melody bringing back those memories. Am I hallucinating?

'My love's a melody

falls gently across the sea.

A melody which I sing

high and low.

My love is like a bird,

a seagull in the sky.

Sweeping over,

so gracefully high and low.'

My feet moves on it's own as I follow where does the song came from. I'm just hallucinating right?

'If I then called your name,

amid the setting sun.

I wonder if you would then reply,

showing your gentle side.'

On and on it's play,

the piano's wistful grace.

Resembling the whirling sea,

the waves upon the beach.

The people passing by,

what is it that they dream.

Their dreams forgotten as,

they fade into the same air.'

My lips quiver and I'm controlling myself not to cry. I'm not hallucinating, I'm really hearing it. And each step that I take leads me to where the song came from.

'My love's a diary,

each page carrying.

Memories, spelling out

days of my life.

My love is like a boat,

drifting into the breeze.

On and on,

until it fades silently.'

I stop walking followed by my tears that falling down from my eyes as I found the source of that music.

"Viscos..." I whisper

"Shit! Cami! You get out! Get the hell out of there!" He shout with full of rage on the other line

"I'm seeing Mamman... heavy rains, and loam soil.." I mumble lost with my own thoughts

Viscos is shouting but it seems like I can't heard anything aside from that song.

"Mierda Cami! Don't listen!"

"She's crying... she crying and bidding her summer goodbye..." I cried out and the next thing happen

I run away again.
