The Jerk is a Ghost

68

Shouts in my mind. Damn.

I looked around. Behind me, standing. S-si Zia.

Is this real!?

Zia was standing, dressed in white and with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Zia." I whispered into the air.

"Will you forget me !?"

"H-no, Z-Zia." We have been training this for about two months and now, we can use our skills and knowledge we learned those days.

We faced the door and Noah left there and picked up the baseball bat.

The door slammed and seemed to be breaking down. Loud blows of the heads of the zombies outside can be heard. "How did you find out about that?"

"I heard you from your companion, brother. You intend to take me away from here. You didn't even ask me what I wanted?"

He blew into the air and ran his finger through her hair. "Is it being said that this is where the conversation will end. I know you still want to come in even though those people have treated you like that."

He looked at me. "So I never asked you again."

"Brother. I'm not happy with what you did." "And I'm also not happy with your actions now. You're the type of person who doesn't just back down even if they've been rude to you. But I hope you understand that they are also guilty and should learn. They don't deserve to have. of a mighty member like you. "

"But you are also one of their members and you are related to me. Does that mean you will betray them because they insulted me?"

She shuddered to turn away from me. "The answer to that question of yours doesn't matter anymore. You're gone."

"Kuya naman," sus ginoo. He is very stubborn. It's also bad if he takes the initiative to avoid.

Let's try again. He might give up and agree.

"I don't want to leave here."

"I'm not saying you're leaving this place. I'm referring to my office. Go back to your room eating her breakfast.

Fend looked at me again. "Anyway, that's all I wanted to tell you. See you later."

I was surprised when he stood up immediately. "I thought you haven't had your breakfast yet?"

"Yup! I'll just buy something I can eat out. I'm still working on SSC." he explained.

"Don't work too hard." I have no idea why I told him that.

Regardless, that made Fend smile. "I won't, don't worry." then he left.

As expected, Raine looked at me insanely because of that. "Don't work too hard? What, are you also concerned with Reviere? I thought it was just Mat-mat, enough?"

I laughed at the term he used. "What are you talking about? Is it wrong to say that?"

"Yes, especially if you don't want to be misinterpreted when you're talking." he answered with a smile.

"He's a fool then. Just eat there!" I dismissed. Raine shrugged, but finished her meal anyway.

I must tell Mathieu about this. I'm sure he'll love to hear this news. If ever the scouts see him play, I'm sure they'll take interest right away. Honestly, Mathieu is even better at playing compared to the rookies in the UAAP this year that I watched on TV.

That morning, we went again to the designated room for e-sports. I'm just a little nervous since it's the one who will dictate who will be the champion for this year. We were set to compete against seniors from Tech-Voc track, and by the looks of it, it looks like the ones we can compete with are really good.

I even heard that they participated in national competitions before.

We go to the back of the grand hall, each room for every team. The game will be televised in the grand hall of the school, which is why there are so many students waiting on the big screen there. You thought, there’s a screening going on. Thus, I decided not to talk to her again.

My laundry job was postponed due to it. Good thing Raine has P.50 to fill my P4.50.

Again, while doing laundry, Laurence and Hanna were playing. They we're both 'pasaway'. So I have to beat Hanna and ban her outside. Their tandem is not good.

It was three when I finished washing. I made 'banlaw' at 4:30 PM.

Since, I was so tired in an all-day works, I have fallen asleep so as Raine. We haven't had our dinner due to 'viandlessness'. We're waiting for Taiwan, actually.

It was 9:30 PM when we eat. Taiwan brought no viand..

Haay! What will happen to us tomorrow?!

"Lord God, thank You, for Raine's breast milk was starting to increase. It almost satisfies Baby Zj. Thank You for the blessings. God, please help us in finances. Give us our financial needs morrow. Give us a happy day. Protect my 'mag-ina' in harm. Save us from any bad fate. Amen!'

I woke up at 8. It was very late waking-up since Baby Cool was born. Raine and I were both sleepless due to him. He's always awake at the dawn.

Since Raine has related to me her dream that I was leaving to Bulan this Saturday, I'm worried. I knew dream is an antonym of reality. Thus, it means I was going to stay here for a long time.

I wanted to go to Bulan as soon as possible. I don't want to stay here in Bautista, if I do not have a job. It's hard! Our lives would be so harder. Plus, I was 'problemizing' our debt to Jano and Gie. I have thought of Mama and pity her. She's the only one I could run to. However, she has to work there in Sauyo. I also 'problemizing' our daily consumption, not to mention Baby Zj and Hanna's milk in the next days. Haay! I want to escape from these. I want to hide. Zildjian was stopping me to leave. But my heart says I have to go.

Before Mama's 'padala' of P300, I have had a load. I have planned to text Lola Bening, thus I texted her immediately. I have received a reply after an hour. It's a bad news. It frustrates me. It's gonna be on May. It's the formal turnover of tenancy from Lolo Aton to us (Mama/me). s**t! Morning, Evening came and it's finally our gangs' meeting. Nagsama kaming dalawa ni Vivien patungo sa shrine and I couldn't help but feel bashful.
