WC. 

Kenny's in her room, and I'm still in mine, thinking about what should I say. I know it's hard for me, and I always wonder how hard it must've been for Kenny to keep doing this. Or was it ever easy, Ken? 

Now, I'm starting to doubt everything dahil parang sasabog na ang utak ko kakaisip. Si Avi na nga sana ang tatanungin ko pero she still refuses to talk to me, kapag nakapag-usap na raw kami ni Kendall and I said okay. Hindi ko na siya pipilitin na sabihin sakin dahil si Kendall na ang kakausapin ko. 

Knock. Knock. Knock. 

Still nothing. And now, isang solusyon nalang ang naiisip ko para makapasok ako sa kwarto niya. Susi. I asked Mommycakes for Kenny's room dupe key, kaya ngayon, whether she like it or not, papasok ako. 

I inserted the key, hesitating for a moment but this needs to be done. Or else, mas mahihirapan kaming ayusin 'to habang tumatagal baka mas mapalayo ang loob niya sa'kin. 

I saw her sitting in front of her vanity table. Hindi ko alam anong ginagawa niya so I called her. 

"Kendall." I tried calling her by her name and still, no response. 

"Kendall Nathalie Cruz." And that's when she looked at me. Nakataas ang kilay at seryosong nakatingin sakin. Tila bang kinukwestyon kung bakit ako nasa loob ng kwarto niya. 

"And who gave you the permission to come inside?" Pagalit niyang tanong. 

"No one." I answered truthfully. I know I'm not welcome here, and that is why I unlocked it with key. 

"Exactly. So, anong ginagawa mo dito, Winter?" There it is again. She called me by my first name. I really find that weird ever since the first time she called me that. 

Bumuntong hininga muna ako at naupo sa kama niya. Wala na akong pake kung magalit siya dahil naupo ako. 

"Ken, why are you doing this?" Tanong ko sakanya. Nagsisimula palang ang usapan pero parang iiyak na ako. Parang lahat ng naipon kong emosyon, ngayon lalabas. 

"Anong sinasabi mo?" Maang-maangan niyang tanong. 

"You. Why do you keep ignoring me?" This time, nakatingin na siya sa'kin. 

"Dahil galit ako sa'yo, Ate." She called me ate again. She's softening up.. her cold girl
