Mysteries of Tomorrow

Chapter 14

Kath's POV

today is the first day of the sports fest. nitong mga nakaraang linggo ay puro practice at pag aaral ang ginawa namin. hindi na nga kami masyadong nakapag hangout ng grupo dahil sobrang busy at pagod kami.

lagi ko pa ding nakikita si Dylan na nakitingin sa akin tuwing umaga pag pasok, his eyes are like telling me to come back to him. pero pano ko magagawa yon? kung may higad na laging nakakapit sa kanya. all of the students assumes that they have a relationship, dahil kung makakapit si Addison kay Dylan ay wagas.

it breaks my heart seeing him with another girl that should be me. pero wala akong magagawa, he made a 'mistake' and I chose this path to be far away from him.

okay na kong hindi kami mag kasama at masaya na kong makita siyang masaya sa malayo kahit hindi ako ang nag papasaya sa kanya.

ayos na sakin na mahalin siya sa malayo.

"okay guys? are you ready? tayo na ang susunod after ng dance club." anunsyo ni Julian. nauna ang dance club kung saan kasali si Angela.

dahil ngayon ang unang araw, may welcome party ang school to welcome the other students from different academies. kaya ang magiging busy ngayon ay ang cooking club, dance club, at music club.

may mga foods stalls na ginawa ang cooking club, ang dance club naman ay mag peperform ng dalawang kanta. ang unang performance nila ay ngayong umaga, at ang huli naman ay mamayang hapon.

ang pinaka busy ay kaming music club, dahil halos buong araw ay tutugtog kami. natapos na ang morning assembly at announcements kaya nag simula na ang welcome party.

natapos na ang performance nila Angela, and I'm not gonna lie their performance was awesome, and Angela was such a great dancer.

"good morning everyone! and thank you so much GDA dance club for such an amazing performance." the MC complemented. ang mc pala ay si Angelo.

"next up, is GDA music club! everyone if you have an request song, just go to the music booth on the side and write the song that you like. so let's all welcome GDA's music club!" sabi niya at nag palakpakan naman ang mga tao. pumunta kami sa stage at inayos muna ang ibang mga instruments.

"hi everyone I'm Kath, and I will be the main vocalist for today." pag papakilala ko.

"and I'm Matthew, also the main vocalist." si Matthew naman ang nag pakilala.

"I'm Amy I will be playing the electric piano."

"and I'm Julian the music club president and I will be playing the guitar."

nag simula na kaming tumugtog.

(insert song: fight song by Rachel Platten.)

si Matthew ang nag simula.

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

it's my turn. we chose this song as an encouragement to the students. a lot of students also requested this, sabi nila ay bagay daw ito para sa mga players na students.

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

I started the chorus and after that is Matthew.

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

our duet.

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Kath:

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep

Everybody's worried about me

In too deep

Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)

And it's been two years I miss my home

But there's a fire burning in my bones

Still believe

Yeah, I still believe

Matthew:

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

Kath:

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

both:

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

A lot of fight left in me

Kath:

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Matthew:

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

Matthew:

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

Kath:

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)

I'll play my fight song

both:

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Kath:

Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me

pagkatapos non ay nag palakpakan na ang mga tao. I looked around and saw a lot of people in the crowd. ang daming tao pero nakita ko pa din siya. nakangiti siya habang nakatingin sa akin. he is smiling proudly, na para bang proud na proud siya sa performance ko.

nag iwas ako ng tingin at nakipag fist bump kay Julian. this past weeks Julian and I became close. he took care of me every time I will have my breakdowns kaya I'm grateful for him.

"did you guys like it?!" sigaw ni Julian sa crowd at nag sigawan naman ang lahat. his really great on stage, halatang sanay na sanay mag perform.

"our next performance will be a request from a student at isa lang ang main vocal, so Matthew? you can take a rest first." nakipag fist bump din sakin si Matthew bago umalis. this time ako lang muna ang kakanta. I'm nervous but I know that I can do well.

nag simula na ulit tumugtog ang mga tao sa likod ko.

(song: fine by Taeyeon covered by Ysabelle Cuevas english version.)

On a ripped piece of paper I

Threw the last of my tears away and

Now it's all clear something bout you

this song is representing me right now.

"everyone the dedication booth is now open!" rinig ko pang announce ni Harry sa gilid.

I ignored that and continued speaking.

Yeah you and I, were one of a kind

But now I know it was all in my mind

How could you tear my heart in two?

yeah, how could you do that to me? I may look okay in the outside but I'm still broken about what happened.

Days turn to months and the months turn to years

I wonder how different our lives will be

Will you be fine

Even though I know you won't be mine

Still you fill up my days

I can never erase your face

it has been weeks, but I still love him. hindi ko alam kung pano mag move on. pero masaya ako dahil masaya din siya.

Will you be fine

Will I be pretending it's alright

Like a fool I believe you and I could stay the same

It's not fine

It's not fine

I will be lying if I said that I'm fine, pero totoo din naman na masaya ako para sa kanya. but will I be also happy for myself?

My hair tied up in a knot and

I wake up from the mess you made

Forgetting it all, something new

how can I start again, if I kept seeing you everyday looking at me.

But no matter how fast or how far I go

Your shadow and your memories won't leave me so

I run in vain, can't escape you

I can't escape from you and I don't wanna escape from you. pero alam kong hindi tama, at mas okay na lumayo at mag simula uli ako.

Days turn to months and the months turn years

All the scars that you left will heal, you'll see

I know that it will heal, maybe not now but someday magiging okay din ang lahat. someday makakalimutan ko na ang ginawa niya and someday I might find the man that will truly love me.

Will you be fine

Even though I know you won't be mine

Still you fill up my days

I can never erase your face

Will you be fine

Will I be pretending I'm alright

Like a fool I believed you and I could stay the same

It's not fine

It's not fine

"to my baby that I hurted. alam kong hindi ka okay at alam kong nasaktan kita ng sobra. pero tandaan mo na minahal kita at hanggang ngayon ay mahal pa din kita. from your 'ex-boyfriend'" rinig kong basa ni Harry sa isang papel. hindi ko alam pero piling ko ay si Dylan ang nag sulat non.

Kath, wag kang assuming hindi lang ako ang nag break dito sa mundo.

They come rushing back

Painful mem'ries we had

So I'm faking a smile, could I ever be the same again?

I gather my pride

Set all these feelings aside

I'm not scared anymore, I'm letting you go

it hurts when I let him go. baka nag kulang ako kaya kami nag kaganito, at sa iba niya hinanap ang pag kukulang ko.

Our last goodbye

Looking back to us just one last time

But wherever you are, I hope you're doing fine

I look at the crowd and there I saw him looking at me. tinignan ko siya habang kinakanta ko ang kanta. I smiled at him telling him that I am fine. even though it's a lie.

I know I will be fine

Won't be pretending to be alright

Not a fool to believe you and I could stay the same

It's not fine

It's not fine

lahat ng tao ay kayang umahon. hindi man ngayon pero alam ko balang araw ay babalik ako sa dati. babalik kami sa dati. not as a couple but as friends. maybe not now but someday everything will be fine. everyone can start over again with being friends.

It's not fine

pagkatapos kong kumanta ay nag pasalamat ako at bumaba ng stage. I can't control my tears. hinanap kaagad ng mata ko si Sofia.

nang makita ko siya ay yumakap ako sa kanya at inilabas ang mga luha kong kanina pa gustong lumabas.

Sofia hates hugs but she hugged me back.

"shh, it's okay it's okay." yun lang ang sinabi niya. nang tumahan ako ay kumalas na ko sa yakap.

"I wil.. be fine again" mahina kong sabi.

naging okay naman ang buong araw. bukas ang cheer dance competition at bukas na din ang simula ng mga laro at unang mag lalaro sila kuya. kalaban nila ang Dark Slive Academy.

nang makauwi kami sa bahay ay humiga kaagad ako sa kama ko.

"wag nalang kaya akong pumasok? tutal wala naman na kaming gagawin at sa friday pa ang final performance namin." sabi ko sa sarili ko.

parang ayoko kasing manood, pero dahil mag lalaro si kuya papasok nalang ako.

"Kath, dinner" binuksan ni kuya ang pinto at halos hilahin ako palabas.

"hey! I can walk alone. bitawan mo ko." pagkasabi ko non ay binitawan na niya ko.

"akala ko hindi ka naman kakain eh, kaya hinila kita palabas." sabi niya pagkabitaw sakin.

"I'm not THAT crazy" I truthfully said. tumawa naman siya.

nang makarating kami sa dinner table ay nandun na si mommy. umupo ako sa tabi ni mommy at si kuya naman sa kabila.

we ate our dinner while talking. how I wish we are complete, pero we are happy kahit hindi kami buo.

after dinner I drank my meds, binantayan pa ako ni kuya para masigurado na ininom ko yon. he kept treating me like a kid.

kinabukasan ay tinatamad nanaman akong pumasok. hindi tulad nang dati na halos araw araw ay exited akong pumasok. ngayon ay lagi nakong tamad.

pag pasok namin ng school ay madami nang tao. dito sa dorm natulog ang mga players and participants ng ibang school habang kami naman ay umuwi.

nag punta muna ako sa music room para mag hintay ng first game at nakita kong sila Julian at Sofia palang ang nandoon.

"good morning."

"good morning. tired or lazy?" tanong pa ni Julian sabay tawa.

"both?" tumawa din ako.

Julian is like my best friend now, ang dali niyang pakisamahan and he has a friendly face and attitude.

he checked on me when I passed out a few weeks ago. siya pala ang kasama ni Dylan na nag uwi sa akin.

lumipas ang ilang minuto ay onti onti nang dumami ang students.

"guys, mag sisimula na yung cheer dance competition." sabi ni Harry pag pasok na pag pasok niya. halos hinihingal pa nga siya pag pasok niya mukhang tumakbo yata papunta dito.

nag tayuan lahat ng gustong manood. ayokong manood dahil kasali don si Addison pero as a support pupunta ako.

kasama kong pumunta sa stadium ang officers ng music club. pag dating namin sa stadium ay ang dami nang tao. buti nalang ay may mga bakante pang upuan sa harap. dahil malakas si Julian sa mga estudyante ay lahat kami nakaupo nang mag kakatabi.

tapos na ang Silver Blam Academy at sunod na ang Golden Dawn Academy. sa totoo lang ang galing nung Silver Blam Academy, I know nothing about cheer dance pero ang galing nila.

tapos na ang GDA maganda ung simula nila pero nung kala gitnaan ay muntik nang mahulog si Addison. buti nalang ay may sumalo sa kanya. halos lahat ng tao ay nagulat dahil muntikan na siya mahulog. nag aalala ang lahat. pati ako, kahit naman na ayaw ko sa kanya ay nag aalala pa din ako. I'm not that heartless.

"grabe hano? muntikan nang mahulog si Addison. for sure ang Silver Blam Academy na ang winner nyan walang silang mistake eh." sabi ni Amy nang matapos ang cheer dance competition. sa last day pa iaannounce ang winners.

pabalik kami ng room ngayon dahil lunch na. Julian will be treating us lunch because we did a great job yesterday.

"dami naman ng pagkain. salamat president!" sabi ni Harry. pag pasok na pag pasok ay makikita mo kaagad ang madaming pagkain. nag thank you ang lahat at nag simula nang kumain.

"oh, kinuhanan na kita ng pag kain. alam ko namang adobo lang ang kukunin mo diyan eh." sabay abot sakin ng plato na may onting kanin at adobo. when did Julian knows me so well?

"thank you." yun nalang ang sinabi ko at nag simulang kumain.

pagkatapos ay uminom ako ng gamot. since malapit nang mag 1 pm ay nag punta na kami sa gym. 1 pm kasi ang simula ng basketball game, maaga kaming pupunta dahil sigurado akong madami nanaman ang tao don mamaya.

nang makarating kami ay onti palang ang tao halos ang players palang ang nandito kaya nakaupo kami kung san namin gusto.

"oh insan andyan na pala kayo, cheer niyo naman kami!" sabi ni Tyler pagkakita sa amin.

"kantahan pa namin kayo!" sigaw pa ni Julian kaya naman tumawa kami.

onti onti nang na napupuno ang gym at malapit nang mag simula ang game. tumingin ako sa bench at nakitang nakaupo don sila Addison. I guess she's cheering for her boyfriend.

nag simula na ang game at unang una palang ay lamang na ang GDA. mukhang nahihirapan ang DSA sa pag steal ng ball at pag shoot ng ball kaya hindi sila nakaka-score ng maayos.

"wooo that's my boy!" sigaw ni Addison nang maka score si Dylan. si Dylan naman ay walang pakealam sa kanya. I wish I could cheer for him.

malapit ng matapos ang game at hawak ni Dylan ang bola.

He looked at me with his lovely eyes and shoot the last ball.
