I am here right now at Fraucs House kong saan niya tinatago si Klien.
Finally, they found him after those incidents ngayon ko na lang ulit siya nakita but this time he looks disgusting, after a months of staying on the street alone.
"You're still in love with Apryll, aren't you?" tumingin naman ito sa akin habang naka upo sa sahig. Naabotan ko kase siyang nagsusuka.
The reason why I am here because of Fraucs and I know that Fraucs parents have no idea about Klien is here.
"It doesn't matter." seryoso ang mukha nito habang naka tingin sa akin.
"Look at you. It clearly does." habang nakatingin ako sa kanya he's disgusting, he's not like that before.. before what happened.
[DOOR OPENS]
"What the hell happened?" sigaw ni Fraucs sabay pulot ng mga nakakalat na damit sa sahig. Napalingon naman ito sa akin.
"He shot up and then he almost choked on his own puke." I said then I looked at Klien.
"What the f**k is wrong with you, Klien?" sigaw nito sabay lapit kay Klien na naka yuko lang habang naka sandal sa gilid ng kama.
"Leave him alone, okay?" sigaw ko sa kanya sabay lingon nito sa akin. Inis na inis naman ang mukha nito.
"What? now you're defending him?" inis nitong sabi.
I really mad at him after what happened to Apryll? If he's not a jerk like his r****t friends... It will never be happened to Apryll.
"Yeah." I replied while he's looking serious at me.
"You have no any idea what you did to Apryll?" I shouted on him.
"Yeah, I was trying to get justice for Haviba and I'm sorry if it hurt Apryll, but maybe it's time for her that truth to come out, too." he said.
"What the f**k gives you the right to decide what needs to come out?" sigaw ni Klien kay Fraucs, napatingin naman kami sa kanya.
"Look, I've done everything I can.. everything I can think of to make things right. But I can't do it alone. Okay?" seryoso nitong sabi sabay lapit sa amin.
"Look, I'm sorry about the video records. But it's gonna get worse before it gets better and I need you guys." dugtong pa nito. Nagtinginan naman kaming dalawa.
"Okay. I need to go home. See you tomorrow." tumayo na ako, tumango naman si Fraucs sabay bukas ng pinto.
"You must take care of him, his kinda mess up. I don't think that Apryll want to see him like that." sabay lakad ko palabas ng kwarto niya.

"Hey, klien listen to me. Okay! please help yourself and help us. If you do this... you can help Haviba and I know Apryll may forgive you." naka yoko lang ito habang kinaka-usap ko siya.
"Do you think so? that Apryll still need me? that she still love me? after what I have done to her? Do you?" seryoso nitong sabi.
Naglakad naman ako papunta sa kama ko at umupo rito. Habang naka tingin sa kanya.
"He needs you... and Haviba needs you too. Please do this.. This the only way to help her, to get a justice for what did your friends do to Haviba." tahimik lang ito.
"I'm going to sleep." sagot nito bago humiga sa kama niya.
Sighed! Humiga na rin ako at ipinikit ang mga mata ko.

Pag gising ko tulog pa si Klien agad naman akong bumaba para mag breakfast nang maabotan ko sila Mom and Dad sa baba.
"Morning, son." sabi ni Mom sabay halik sa pisngi ko.
"Morning mom, dad." sabay upo ko at kumuha ng pancakes at nilagay sa plato.
"I should eat my breakfast on my room." sabay lakad ko paakyat ng kwarto at agad na sinarado ang pinto.
Yes, my parents didn't know that I hide Klien here at my room. After we found him at the streets. I let him stayed here. We need him to justify for the case of Haviba. I know he could help us.. and Haviba.
Nilapag ko muna sa study table ko ang pancakes at coffee. I prepared my things before I go to school.
Nagulat naman ako ng biglang sumulpot si Erika na dumaan sa bintana ng kwarto ko.
"Hey, why did you get there?" tumingin naman ito sa akin.
"Why do you want me to knock on your door and tell you parents that I want to visit Klien here and help that bastard guy?" sabay irap nito sa akin.
"By the way, don't expect that Matt will go here, She's the one who send me here to help that... Klien." sabay upo nito sa sofa.
"Why are you doing this?" tumingin naman ito ng seryoso sa akin.
"Because maybe it's time to do what is rights." nakangiti nitong sagot at biglang seryoso ng mukha niya.
"Okay, I have to go to school. Don't you ever make a noise here." tumango tango naman siya.
"Fine. Just go I'll take care of him." sabi nito at ilang sandali pa ay na gising na rin si Klien. Napatingin naman siya sa aming dalawa.
"What are you doing here?" tanong agad ni Klien kay Erika.
"Well, I'm here to help you, you must stop taking drugs Klien it wasn't help you." nainis naman ang mukha ni Klien at agad na bumangon.
"I should go." sabi ko naman sa kanila at agad na lumabas ng kwarto.

Pag dating ko sa ng school agad akong dumiretso ng locker room. Pagbukas ko ng locker ko agad na bumungad sa akin ang isang papel na naka fold? agad ko naman itong kinuha at binasa.
Your A Big Slut, b***h!
Napalingon lingon naman ako sa paligid at agad na binalik sa loob ng locker ang papel.
"Ms. Galvez." napalingon naman ako sa tumawag sa akin.
"What?" tanong ko rito.
"Do you receive my notes that I send to you?" napakunot naman ang noo ko. Biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang papel na nakita ko bago lang.
"I'll send an email to you, that if you need someone to talk or what. I'll help you." nakangiti nitong sabi.
"I don't need your help, please stay away from me. Okay?" inis kong sabi rito.
"But if you----" bigla naman sumulpot sa tabi ko si Janna.
"You heared what she said sir, please stay away from her. We should go." at agad naman kaming lumayo kay Sir Caster.
"Thanks." sabay lingon ko sa kanya habang naglalakad kami. Nginitian naman ako neto.
"Did sir caster bothering you?" tumango naman ako at nginitian siya.
"Don't mind him, he won't help us. He's clueless, it's better to keep your mouth shut around him." rinig kong sabi nito. Napatingin naman ako sa kanya.
"What?" napakunot naman noo ko.
"Nothing." ngumiti ito bago humiwalay sa akin. Hindi na ako nakapag salita pa ng mawala na ito sa paningin ko.
Naglakad na lang ako papuntang cafeteria kong saan kami magkikita ni Jendel.
When I saw Zia with Zion and his friends putting some flyers for the upcoming game next week. I stop and I looked to the flyers she holding, the same paper who I found in my locker.
Lumingon naman sa direksyon ko si Zia habang naka ngiti ito.
"Hey, Apryll, you wanna help?" sigaw nito, umiling naman ako. Ngumiti naman siya at nagpatuloy sa pag bigay ng mga flyers. Tumingin din si Zion sa akin at agad akong nag iwas ng tingin sa kanya.

"Hey." napalingon naman ako sa tumawag sa akin agad naman itong umupo sa tabi nito.
"Hey, where were you this morning?" tanong agad nito.
"I was avoiding Ziana. And, like, everyone else." napakunot naman noo ko.
"Why what's wrong?" napabuntong hininga naman ito habang naka tingin sa akin.
"Someone's trying to keep me quiet."
"What? What happened?" kita ko naman sa mukha nito ang kaba. Sabay labas nito ng papel na naka fold.
"You mean someone put this on your locker? that's seriously messed up." I said while holding the paper.
"Yeah, somebody is f*****g with my head and I've seen some clues who trying to keep me quiet and it's Ziana? I guess." seryoso nitong sabi.
"I don't think so, but whoever it is, its trying to stop you to tell the truth." napakagat naman ito sa ibabang labi niya.
"So, what's supposed to do now? does it that.. make any sense?"
"Maybe they're doing this because it's to protect Zion and if you tell the truth, then there's no protecting him anymore." napailing naman siya sa sinabi ko.
"Yeah, that sounds easy and simple for you."
"Well I'm trying so say is, I think it's what you need to do." napahawak naman ito sa mukha niya.
"You don't f*****g get it, every time I look at him, it's like.. It's like it's happening all over again. Like it's gonna keep happening for the rest of my life." I saw her eyes are in pain. Hinawakan ko naman siya sa kamay.
"I know you wouldn't understand me. I should go." sabay lakad nito palabas ng Cafeteria.
