Chapter 55

Sky's POV

I really don't want to go to school. I want to have a long rest, especially my mind and heart. I really feel so down. It seems like I'm alive, but I am also dead. I don't know! I just want to escape reality and get lost!

I went out of my car after a minute. I was surprised seeing her outside, but I just walked away.

"Sky," she uttered my name as she keeps on chasing me, "let's talk, please," she begged.

I stopped and look at her, "why? Is your conscience hunting you now?" I asked, and coldness can really be heard on my voice. But, I don't want to lie, I'm hurt and sad, but I still love her. Sh*t, no one is as stupid as me.

"Oo, Sky!" she's now in tears, "hindi ako nakakatulog nang maayos! Lagi kitang iniisip!" she yelled. We're now getting the attention of other students. Napapatingin sila sa'min and they're starting talking sh*ts, of course.

So, I went back to my car and I told her to follow me. Ayokong marinig nila kami dahil baka kung anu-ano na 'yong masabi naming 'di maganda. This is a matter between the two of us and they're not involved, so they don't have the right to listen to us.

"Should I feel happy?" I asked her as she went inside my car. She looked at me, still weeping. "Tingin mo ikaw lang?" I asked, but she just keep on crying. "Hindi ako nakakatulog, hindi ako nakakain ng maayos, hindi ko alam kung ano 'yong gagawin ko! Lagi na lang akong nag-iisip! Iniisip ko kung sa loob ng halos anim na buwan saang parte ka naging totoo sa'kin," I said, staring at her.

"S-Sky, I-I'm sorry...akala ko kasi...mahal kita—" I gestured her to stop.

"Any time soon, I'll accept your apology, but for now, I am so resentful. Punong-puno ng galit ang puso ko, Veia," my tears are now at the verge for falling, "best friend din kita, ikaw 'yong pinakapinagkakatiwalaan ko, pero ikaw rin pala 'yong mananakit sa'kin nang gan'to. I just want to be loved by you. I just want us to be happy together. But, what did you do? Lahat ng hiling ko, binaliktad mo lang. Now, I want to move on too soon, so just please...don't ever talk to me again nor come close to me," then, I went out of my car before my tears fall.

I don't want to hurt her. I don't want to see a woman crying. But, I'm sorry, I need to think of myself this time.

'I'm sorry, Vee.'

Hillary's POV

Kaliwa't kanan ang naririnig ko tungkol kina Sky at Veia. Others said they're over, others think they just had a misunderstanding. They got different views and opinions. Tsk, ang daming tsismosa at tsismoso na nagkalat sa mundo.

Since first subject pa 'to, then it means magkaklase kaming tatlo. I went inside and Professor Lance greeted me. I just smiled at him. He's so strange, honestly. Sa lahat ng kaklase ko ako lang 'yong binabati niya. He has the looks, he's kind and gentleman, he's also intelligent, but knowing that he's my professor I need to respect him, pero minsan 'di ko nagagawa. Minsan hindi ko pinapansin 'yong pagbati niya sa'kin, I just find it so weird and I'm very uncomfortable about it. Just like now...his eyes are just in me as we're waiting for his time to start the class. Ewan ba't ang aga niyang dumating. Tsk!

And, finally, Sky's here. And since college na kami okay lang kung saan ka uupo, so he sat beside me, wala rin naman akong katabi, eh. I was about to talk with him, but he suddenly takes a nap.

I just sighed and looked outside, waiting for Veia to come. I just want to know if how is she right now. Is she sad after their break up or she's happy. Tss!

"Hillary," I was startled when Sky called me. I looked at him and to my surprise, he's now staring at me! Tsk! "I just want to thank you again for accompanying me last Saturday," he tried to give me a smile, but it's not real.

"No problem," I replied. Hindi ko naman sinasadya na mapatingin sa kaniya, pero nagulat ako nang makitang seryoso siyang nakatingin sa'min.

Hmm. Let me confirm something.

He's now taking a nap again? Tsk! But, I still called his name. "What?" Sky muttered.

"Can I see your hand?" I asked.

"Ha?"

"Dali na kasi. May titingnan lang ako."

Umayos siya ng upo at inilahad 'yong kamay niya. Ipinatong ko 'yong kamay ko sa kamay niya—sh*t, mas malambot pa 'yong kamay niya—he finds it so weird, but I no longer mind his reaction, instead I look at Professor Lance, who is now looking at our hands with knitted brows, he then looked at me, showing his damn smirk.

Hmm. Now I get it.

***

Morning classes were done. I'm on my way to the locker area to get my PE uniform. And, unfortunately, I crossed with someone at the hallway with her bitch friends, laughing so damn hard! Ngayon ko lang siya nakita dahil hindi siya pumasok kanina sa first subject.

"So, at the scale of 1 to 10, how happy you are?" I asked, smiling to death!

Pinaalis niya muna 'yong mga bitch friends niya saka niya ako tiningnan muli, "Hillary, pwede ba, hindi ako masaya, okay?" aniya.

"Really? So, I heard you crying earlier?"

"Ano bang gusto mo?"

"This," then, I slapped her. It seems like her eyes are now in flame. Tsk, tsk, "actually, that wasn't enough. Kaya lang I no longer want my hand to touch your damn face," I uttered, showing her my devilish smile.

She now looks so angry, then she said, "alam kong mali ako, Hillary, pero humingi na naman ako ng tawad sa kaniya, ha, kaya wala kang karapatan na sampalin ako!"

"If Sky could just dare to hurt you physically, Veia, he won't hesitate to do it. You're lucky enough that you hurt a person like Sky, who doesn't want to see a woman in tears. Kaya ako na lang ang gagawa, kasi kailangan mo ring magising sa katotohanan na hindi lang isang mali ang nagawa mo kun'di napakalaking mali, Veia! Hindi mo alam kung gaano kalamig kung makitungo si Sky dahil sa ginawa mo! Ang kapal nga naman talaga ng mukha mo," I burst out. Kulang pa nga 'yan, eh, pero baka maiyak na siya sa mga sasabihin ko.

"Nagsisisi na ako, Hillary," she's now in tears.

"Of course, you should. Pero, kung nagsisisi ka talaga, then leave Sky alone. Don't bother him anymore. Nag-usap na kayo kanina, 'di ba? Then, that's the last. Huwag mo na siyang kakausapin dahil kapag ginawa mo 'yan mas lalo mo lang siyang pinapahirapan."

"Kaya nga aalis na ako sa eskwelahang 'to," my brows suddenly knitted. Sinabi ko lang na huwag na niyang kausapin si Sky, but I never told her to leave this school, "I'll just take the final exam, then I'll leave. Happy?" she asked, smiling.

I don't know what to say. Masaya ako dahil mapapadali ang pagmomove on ni Sky knowing that they no longer in the same place. Pero, sh*t, ayoko rin siyang umalis. Am I gotten stupid now? Tsk!
