COPULA TRILOGY: Her Vengeance

Frame #10: Corpse Bride

[Chapter Ten: Corpse Bride]

"How could you tell that equation will work, Miss Stone?"

Nakapangalong-baba lamang ako habang nakamasid sa mga nangyayari sa loob, the professor was asking about the enchanted equation that mostly worms could only know.

I rolled my eyes before eyeing on different direction, halos ilan sa mga estudyante sa loob ay mga patagong nag-uusap, too careful for their so called magister to not hear them.

Happily, Corpse doesn't always attend the entire class kaya malaya kong namamanmanan si Hayden sa malayo. Simula nang magsagutan kami noong nakaraang linggo ay hindi na siya nagpakita pa. Good for him.

I suddenly eavesdrop when two students in front of me were talking quietly.

"Tonight will be a total bomb."

I frowned, umayos ako nang upo sa narinig ko. Bomb? Is there a bombing tonight?

"Heck yeah, masquerade ang theme natin this year. I can't wait to see my boyfriend tonight, I bet he'll still look gorgeous as fuck." The girl beside her said.

At that, Iwas relieved from what she said, I really thought there would be a bombing tonight. No one knows if they're really talking about the party or the actual bomb.

Natigilan ako sa naisip ko.

Party? The party will be held tonight? Why didn't I know that? Gano'n na ba ako katagal dito sa loob?

Tiningnan ko si Hayden na medyo malayo sa kinauupuan ko, she's holding a cream colored mask while there's a paper bag on the floor. Mukhang naghahanda na rin sila sa magaganap ngayong gabi.

Napatingin ako sa uniform ko saglit. So would it mean that...

I closed my eyes out of my annoyance. No. I'm actually gonna wear some stupid eye-blinding dresses? What the hell?

———

NANG matapos ang buong klase sa buong maghapon, agad akong diretsyo sa dorm ko pagkatapos na masigurado kong nakapasok nang ligtas si Hayden sa dorm nila. I don't even know if I'm actually a spy or a creepy stalker that stalks her everytime.

Habang naglalakad ay napaisip ako. Why didn't I think of that party? Obviously, I should wear some formal attire in that event so I could enter the gym. Masyadong kulong ang lugar na pag-gaganapan ng Pars kaya hindi ako basta-bastang makakapasok kahit na hindi nakaayon ang suot ko sa theme nila, I don't have any choice but to wear something stupid so I could enter that place and look after Hayden. That's my mission, wherever she goes, I should be there too. A complete stalker, not a spy. Headmistress should've said "Stalk Hayden Salvia and keep her safe at the same time.", baka naintindihan ko pa sana 'yon.

Binuksan ko ang pintuan nang makarating ako sa dorm, the whole place is empty, and I liked it.

Sinarado ko ang pintuan at hinubad ang sapatos ko, I was about to open the door of my room when suddenly, the door beside mine creaked open revealing Life. Saglit niya akong tiningnan bago nagpatuloy sa paglalakad papunta sa sofa.

I rolled my eyes before opening the door, papasok na sana ako doon pero tinawag ako ni Life.

"What?" I asked her.

Instead of answering she tapped the clothes beside her, my brows furrowed before looking at the red fabric on the couch.

Kumunot rin ang noo niya nang mapansin niyang hindi ako lumalapit sakanya, I grinned for a second before bringing back my emotionless face. "I'm not gonna walk towards to you unless you'll say a single damn word about that trash beside you."
