Krystal's POV
Naiinis talaga ako sa babaeng yun.
Pano ba naman kasi inindian ako sa report namin.
She knows how important the report was to me since grades namin nakasalalay dun.
Tapus yung boyfriend pa niya uunahin niya.
Ugh!
"Oy baka mapunit yung papel" ally interrupted me with my thoughts
I look at her confused "ha?"
"Hakdog! Hahahaha"
Baliw to ah
"It looks like you're about to kill someone" still tawa pa rin siya
"Ano ba kasi tinatawa tawa mo jan?" I asked her since tawa pa rin siya eh
"Ikaw eh. Kawawa yung papel oh" she pointed me the paper I scribbled on.
I quickly crumpled the paper and throw it on the trash can beside my desk.
"What's the problem ba?" Now she's no longer laughing
I'm currently here at the clinic since duty ko ngayon.
Yes, I'm a working student.
Si ally? She's one of my good friends dito sa school. Working student din siya na kasama ko dito sa clinic.
"Wala" medyo bitter kong sagot
"Asus..wala daw. Niloloko mo?" She said in a sarcastic tone
I scratch my head out of nothing.
"So? Ano na?" She's not yet done questioning me. Ugh. This girl.
I rolled my eyes to her.
"Thea" I simply responded
"hmm? Thea? Mondia?" She asked with confusion. "You mean si ganda?"
I nodded as a yes to her question
"What about her? What happened?"
"She happened!"
"What do you mean?"
"I couldn't believe na nalate siya sa class namin earlier eh we have a report to present pa naman" I rambled
"Talaga? So how's your report?"
"Ayun. Mabuti na lang may copy ako. Tsk"
"Eh ano ba kasi nangyari sa kanya at di siya nakarating on time?"
"Ewan ko ba sa babaeng yun"
While we're busy chit-chatting, a two students came in the clinic carrying a girl.
They hurriedly placed her in the clinic bed.
Ally came towards them immediately.
"Speaking of thea ganda" I heard ally said
I looked over on their direction as I took the stethoscope and there I saw thea unconsciously lying.
Wala kasi yung school nurse namin at this moment. May pinuntahan lang saglit. Babalik naman daw siya before lunch.
Kaya kami na muna ni ally bahala dito sa clinic.
"What happened to her?" Ally asked the two students
"We were having our break time in our dance practice when she suddenly fainted" the other student explained
"You can leave now. Kami na bahala dito" I said to the two students while getting closer to their direction where thea and ally are.
Then they quietly leave the clinic.
I slightly move down the upper part of her clothes. I'm about to place the stethoscope near her heart when I saw something na nakaattached banda dun.
"What is that?" Ally asked me referring to the small patch right above thea's upper left chest.
"No idea" I answered truthfully because I really don't know what's that thing.
I checked for her heartbeat.
It seems to have a normal beating.
I checked for the other part.
There's no problem at all.
"Maybe she's overfatigued" I told ally "let's just wait for her to wake up"
Ally just shrugged her shoulders.

🎶 🎶 🎶
Cause I know that it's not easy
But it's gonna be okay
Yeah it's gonna be okay because...
We'll go
Dancing through the night
To the sound of your beating heart
Beating heart
Whoa
We'll go out out of sight
Listen to my beating heart
Speeding just for you
Oh, oh, oh
"Krystal?"
I automatically lift my head up and look at her direction when she called out my name.
I turned down the volume of my phone to make the sound of the song that being played on my phone low.
"Finally you're awake" I said
She put her hand on her head as if she was trying to remember what happened.
"Do you remember what happened?" I asked her as I walked to her side of bed
"I'm not sure" she responded
"Hinimatay ka during break time sa dance practice niyo"
"I did?"
"Here. Let me check your breathing"
She feel a little uncomfortable when I did check her breathing with stethoscope.
Maybe she doesn't want me to discover the small patch she got right there.
Too late I already know.
I'm really curious on why she have something like that on her chest tho.
What is that for?
"Now inhale.. exhale.."
I continue doing what I'm doing when I noticed the sudden rapid beating of her heart.
"Are you okay?" I asked her worriedly
"W-what do you mean? Of course.. I-I'm okay" she stuttered
"mmmkay"
"H-how long am I here btw?"
"Approximately 10 minutes"
"That long?"
"hmm.." I hummed as a response
I look at my wrist watch. I only have 5 minutes left to my next class.
"I'm going now"
"you gonna leave me alone here?"
"I still have class and ayoko malate" sabi ko "you can stay here for a little bit if you want"
"Nang mag-isa?"
I just shrugged "I have class to attend"
I walked out from the clinic. Di ko naman napansin na she followed me behind.
"Diba sabi ko stay ka lang muna dun?"
"Diba sabi mo pag gusto ko lang?"
Tiningnan ko lang siya.
As we walked through the hallways, I asked her something out of my curiosity.
"What's that thing on your chest?"
She didn't answered me so I stop walking and turn my heels to face her.
She just staring at me.
Realization hit me. I should've not ask her about that. Maybe it's too personal.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to ask you about it"
Ang tanga ko naman. Bat ko ba natanong bigla yun.
"It's okay" she said with a smile plastered on her face "anyways mauna na ko"
Nauna na siyang maglakad.
Medyo malayo na siya nung tinawag ko yung name niya.
"Thea?"
Nilingon niya ako with her confused look.
"You should really take some rest" I demanded
She smile before she said "if you're going to forgive me then maybe I will" she's still smiling as if isang napakagandang deal yung sinuggest niya. "How about that?" She added while moving her eyebrows up and down.
I sighed. Such a tease.
"Fine"
