ME & YOU (Completed)

CHAPTER 3

KIRSTEN'S POV:

I woke up with a headache; I wasn't able to sleep well last night because what happened yesterday is what fills my mind the entire night. I look at myself in the mirror and gosh! Ang laki ng eyebags ko! Bakit kasi di ako pinatulog ng lalaking yun! Hmmp! Kung pwde lang sana absent sya ngaun pra nman di ako ma-bad vibes... Pero mukhang imposible kasi sabi nila Mary, always present sya. Kung bakit naman kasi sya yung pasaway na masipag pumasok! Haaay.. Nanay Carmen snaps me out of my thought when she entered my room.

"Gising kana pala akala ko tulog ka pa din kasi nga di ba masama pakiramdam mo kahapon?" I nod. Naguguilty ako sa pagsisinungaling ko. "Kumusta na pakiramdam mo, nak?"

"I'm feeling better na po Nay." Tipid na sagot ko.

"Kaya mo na bang pumasok? Ang putla mo pa din oh." Puna nya. Nanay Carmen is our Mayordoma; I treat her as my second mother.

"Nay, I am always pale kaya nga lagi ako dapat nakamake up kasi super putla ko."

"Di ka maputla, maputi ka lang talaga." She giggled. "Halika na't handa na ang almusal mo. Para makainom ka na rin ng gamot."

"Yes Nay, I'll be there in a bit." I said as she smiled at me then left my room. I stood up and wash my face then after fixing myself, I went downstairs to eat. After breakfast, I went back to my room, bathe and do my morning rituals before I go to school. When I'm satisfied with my look, I grabbed my tote bag and immediately went to the garage.

7:40AM when I arrived at school. I am walking in the hallway when something hit my head. "Ouch!" I groaned as I massage the right side of my head that has been hit by a ball. Tumingin ako sa paligid para tignan kung sino ang bumato ng bola only to be astounded na lahat ng mga studyanteng andun ay tumatawa. Ako ba pinagtatawanan nila? Ugh! Heto na nman po sila. Nagkibit-balikat na lang ako. Pag lingon ko sa asking harapan, nagulat ako ng may bumangga sa 'kin at binuhos ang dala nyang juice sa damit ko. In a split second, I am soaking wet! Mas lalong lumakas ang tawanan ng ibang estudyante. I tried to ignore them; I let out a heavy sigh and went to the parking lot kung nasan ang sasakyan ko. I get my spare clothes sa sasakyan at dali-daling nagpunta sa CR. I don't even get the chance to answer ate Mel when she asked me what happen. I entered one of the cubicles; it's a restroom near the corridor so it is quiet small. As I change my clothes, I heard footsteps outside the cubicle where I was and a faded noise were heard a moment later. I ignored it and continued unzipping my dress and hastily put on the new one. When I am about to go out, I can't pull nor push the door open. I started to panic. "Help! Is anyone there? Please, I can't open the door. Please help me!" I shouted but no one seems to hear me. I forgot my bag in the car so there's no other way to call for help than to shout. "Please, someone help me! Please..." I tried to bang the door but it's useless. I'm all sweaty. I let out a deep sigh and uttered a prayer. "Please Lord, help me. I'm afraid of closed places. Please, send someone to help me. Please..." I am claustrophobic and being here all alone in this small cubicle for a long period of time makes me gasp. I am starting to feel suffocated and craving for air. "Please help me!" I tried to shout in between gasps. "Is this the end of me? Am I going to die? Oh God, please help." I'm starting to lose strength and I feel like fainting any moment now. Di ako makahinga... I was breathing heavily. Then...everything went black...

THIRD PERSON'S POV:

He's walking along the corridor when he heard someone crying for help. He ignored it since he's not the type of guy who would intervene into other people's businesses unless it concerns him. "Someone has been bullied again huh?" He told himself. He is about to walk fast when he again heard the cry for help. He's not quite sure where is it coming from. "The voice sounds familiar. I might have heard it before. "He thought. It's the first time he got curious about someone asking for help. In the university, he's used to hearing a lot of students asking for help, first, to get his attention, second, bullies are attacking again, third, if he's tormenting other students and fourth, if one of his best friends made fun of someone. The 1st and 3rd reasons are very common. He was known a jerk, bad boy and certified playboy. But he doesn't care about what other people think of him. As long as he is happy, he'll do everything he wants... Realization strikes him out of his thought when he heard the voice again, but it's fading. His curiosity has gotten him so he went to find where the voice is coming from. His gaze is accidentally fixed on the ladies room. Ugh! Is this one of their tricks again? He thought. But he doesn't feel right so he peeked inside only to find a rope tied in one of the cubicle that prevents the door from opening. He untied the knot, open the door and he was greeted by an unconscious woman lying beside the toilet. He carried her outside the cubicle and laid her down. Her hair is partly covering her face so he fixes her hair so he can see her face, then... "Shit! It's her!" He cursed when he realized who the woman was. For an unknown reason, anger is all over him now. He immediately carries Kirsten out of the restroom and brought her to the clinic.
