03 : DREAM

Excessive violence, excessive blood and gore, violent language, or ideologically sensitive issues may be present in this chapter.

Xhyna's.

"Yes, it so mahal kaya. Support locals~" She gives two winks and then begins to open the kit. "Bitch Yamada's aren't even filipino," I said, and she smirked then asked, "So where did the word " filipino" come from half-filipino half-jap sa nationality ni Kaito?" Uh, she didn't get my point. "Try this one it looks great on you, and the shade is perfect for your lips." Really I'm blushing? She's preparing to apply lipstick on my lips, but–

"YAH! What's wrong with you it's so mahal kaya and then you just make it bali."

Kier taps his shoulder and says, "Hey, you good?" I guess he isn't. I couldn't do anything because he seemed so angry and uncomfortable, he threw the broken lipstick on the trashbin. Before he went out he murmured, "D-don't buy that thing again."

What's going on? Is there a problem?

Drix and Whaelan pull their chair infront of me and Sabrina, also Kier and Amanda move to our direction Marcus keeps his eyes on us, while Emanuel taps Shane using his index finger to wake her up and pointed us, He's not worst as what they said. Shane woke up and go straight ahead to our direction. "Huh ano'ng chismis?" She said and sat down.

"Is Kaito okay?" Marcus concerned ask, I want to know too.

Sabrina's.

That's weird ha, I'm naiinis but a bit naaafrid kay Kaito he may crack a lot of jokes and appear to be a happy go cheerful guy, but when he's mad, he's scary as hell. My poor lipstick I spend five na libo to bili that then he just tapon it huhu. But it's ok, we need to know if he is ayos lang ba or no kasi he seems not eh.

"Something's going on I guess? Aniya ni Marcus mukha nga. " Hey Kai -" gulat na tawag ni Whaelan ng makita na muli siyang pumasok, "Sorry guys masama lang pakiramdam ko hahaha, alam n'yo naman mga gwapo hindi palaging okay." Napaface palm naman ako, he's so mahangin as what the fridge.

"Mukha nga, then why did you throw Sab's make up?" Xhyna ask, yeah why did you tapon it hmp! We watch him as he sat besides Drix, "May sasabihin ako sa inyong sikreto," he said.

"Hey stupid, kindly lower your voice since you said it's a secret and I don't wanna here it." Sabi ni Emanuel habang nakaub-ob sa lamesa n'ya.

"Hehe tama nga naman, continue. Hindi n'yo ba napapansin?"

"Malamang hin-" Bago pa makapagsalita si Drix ay tinakpan na ni Whae ang bibig n'ya "Madaldal ka masyado eh, pag kwentuhin mo muna 'yong tao." Tinuloy ni Kaito ang pag kukwento. "Punyeta ka, Balyena."

"Yamada's cosmetics aren't safe at all, because the toxins might cause dry skin or, in the worst-case scenario a skin infection."

Wait joke time ba this? Like dude Yamada is famous because they rank three as the most selling Cosmetics on our country. "Little you didn't know, at the ads they used different brands para 'di madamage 'yong model nila, our products can harm and make your skin worst." Sab and Friends was too stunned to speak.

"W-wait, I'm planning to buy one pa naman for upcoming schopl pageant." Xhyna says that's sad. I wish maging candidate rin akoo, am I not pretty enough? Anyways back to the topic, "So why isn't your company being reported?"

"Of course Yamada's money was like half of our country's wealth, yeah okay sorry you said it loud can't unhear it," Eman says.

"I already confronted them but nothing happened, I'm also the one who submitted the report but the case was dismissed because I lost my evidence until one day I get tired of stating that something is wrong with the product." He sighed, "It's okay Kaito, at least napigilan mo na magamit ng kaibigan natin. "

"It's fine bro just because your family made a mistake doesn't mean it's your fault."

"Uh, there's an upcoming pageant right?"

Xhyna's.

"Yes and our representative is Xhyna."

"Of course siya, like itong mukhang 'to only one sa earth."

"Xhyna cutie—"

Nabulantang ang lahat ng -

Oh shit, shit. "What is that?" We heard a gun shot, and

"Drix!" He's holding his right arm, someone shoot! Napayuko kaming lahat, bumilis ang takbo ng puso ko what the hell is going on. Sobrang kaba ng nararamdaman nahawakan ko ng mahigpit ang kamay ni Shane.

"Fire!"

Marcus was shot in the left leg, while the rest of his body was bloodied, my heart was racing something wasn't right palapit na sa akin ang isa pang lalaki na may hawak ng baril he pointed the gun at me–

"AHHHHHHHHHHH."

"Hey hey, you good?"

Nagising nalang ako sa boses ni Drix, "Ayos ka lang Xhy?" Okay.. It's just a dream.. A bad, worst and my unending nightmare. "Y-yeah." I'm currently seated next to Drix, with the bus window on my side. We're going to the venue, I guess. "Inom ka muna baka stress ka lang sa byahe, mahaba mahaba pa daw sabi ni Whae." Habang inaabot sa'kin ang tumbler ko.

"Ano ba 'yan Kaito ang jejemon naman ng kanta mo!" Reklamo ni Sabrina, "Shut up Sab wala ka lang music taste, parang 'di ka kumanta ng hayaan mo sila nung grade six tayo." Habang tumayo pa sa gitna at naghahanda sa paparating na lines.

"Hoy hindi ah— Pag bigyan ang pusong ito ohh, mamahalin ka at aalagaan kita~"

"Ey rak rak." Natawa naman ako sa biglang pagkanta ni Sab she's really the mood maker here. "Hoy Kaito mukha kang kawayang na nasayaw, tama na!" Puna ni Drix na ikinatawa nila. "Kaya nga, ngayon lang ako nakakita ng dancing bamboo.'" Mga 'to talaga. Napatingin naman ako sa bintana at pinag masdaan nalang ang daan.

That horror occurred two months ago. I'm powerless to do anything but scream and watch them crumble one by one like dominoes. I'm a freaking wimp, I'm so wicked.

Minsan napapaisip ako na napaka hina ko pala.

Sa pagmumuni muni ko ay biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko, someone text me. I open it and saw a message from Shane.

'Hey heard your lil' scream earlier you okay? T^T if u need anything just text me ipapaabot ko nalang dyan oki? >3< '

I smiled after I read her message, saw her looking at me at the front sit together with wait is that Simon? Yeah it's him.

I don't know how many students from our school is in the bus but I know all of my friends are here. "Hoy kaninong tsinelas to?" At iwinagayway pa ni Whaelan ang kapares ng isang tsinelas, oh gosh missing tsinelas.

"Gago ka, akin na 'yan!" Sigaw naman ni Marcus sa tapat namin, bale we're in a two seat by row bus, nasa third row si Whae habang kami ay nasa dulo. "Grabe naman paps pati tsinelas mo nilalayasan ka na, ganyan ba kabaho ang paa mo?" Kaito laughing so hard after Whae said that, there'll really out of this world.

"Inamo Whaelan akin na 'yan."

Sab grab the slipper from Whaelan and throw it to Marcus since she's far, sadly she hit his face "Owemji, sorry 'di ko sinasadya, Whaelan is so maingay kasi." Napatayo ito habang nakaharap sa direkayon ni Marcus, habang ang mga unggoy sa gilid ay pinpigilan ang tawa. Nako nako, "Head shot 'dre!" Aniya pa ni Drix habang si Kaito ay patuloy parin sa pagkembot kasabay ng tugtog.

Me finding Amanda and Kier I haven't heard them, and suddenly nakita ko na si Amanda leaning on the window quietly while Kier is sleeping beside Eman, speaking of Eman, he looks hot in his shorts and hoodie, like if he's going on vacation, and he's wearing his favorite headphones and holding his cellphone, as per usual.

"Yeah lower the fucking music I haven't sleep since last night!" Iritang sigaw ni Jade, Kaito mock her akala n'ya siguro ay hindi siya kita since nakaharap naman siya sa likuran dahil nasa pauna ang puwesto ni Jade, napayuko nalang siya ng matamaan siya ng sapatos. "I can see you stupid!" She said and go back sitting down. Poor Kaito.

Napansin kong nasa unahan ko ang unang babaeng kinatuwaan ko sa pagkatalo ko, her hair is now brownish like mine "Hi Syd." I greeted her, am I small or the seats was just high, She raised her hand and wave at me. Tumalikod ito upang humarap sa akin.

"Hi Xhyna~" I saw Drix gave a brief glance before returning his gaze to Kaito. "I didn't expect that you're going to participate here." I started the chat.

"Simon said mukha daw fun and also the prize got my attention, baka mahelp ako no'n mahanap yung family ko, hello Drix! The rumors are right pala we really look the same!" She said excitedly but Drix just smiled at him and pay attention to Whaelan Who's twerking this time.

"He he." She returned to her front-facing position and noticed her head drooping against the glass. The atmosphere here is oppressive. I trieded to hold Drix's hands, he seemed uneasy. He gives me a perplexed expression.

"Alam kong gwapo ako pero pre 'di ako napatol sa kaibigan."

Hinampas ko ito, masyadong malisyoso tf

"Siraulo! tatanong ko lang kung ok ka bugok!"
