Sitio Series 3: Scheming List

Chapter 36

Drowned

I stood as firmly as I can. “No.” For the first time in my life I had this strength to be brave in front of someone. “Hindi mo ako girlfriend at kahit kailan hinding-hindi ako naging ganoon,”

“What gotten inside that pretty head of yours?” He worriedly asked.

I stared at him mockingly. “You have Rafiya. Why can't you be happy and leave me alone for fucking sake. You're done playing with me right? Sooner or later you'll dispose me, and right now I'm doing you a favor. Can't you be more thankful?” I laughed sarcastically at the sight of him, looking so desperate.

“Who told you that?” He asked but I ignored him. Nakatulala lamang siya kaya’t sinamantala ko ang pagkakataong tuluyan ng makawala sa kadenang ako mismo ang nagtali sa sarili mula sa taong iyon. Taong ngayon ay kusa ko nang lalayuan para mailigtas ang sarili mula sa kagagawan. Even though the talk between us was intense I managed to walk away with much courage to do so.

Dumiretso ako sa dorm hindi na sumali sa bonfire activities nagdahilan na masama ang pakiramdam ko but na lamang at pinayagan ako ni Sir Arhel kaya naging madali ang lahat. Umiiwas, oo umiiwas ako sakanya kay Rafiya sa lahat ng tao rito.

Kinaumagaha’y walang lakas akong sumali sa morning activities, wala ni isang gustong maging kagrupo ako kaya’t mas minabuti ko na lamang manood sa mga kabatch kong masayang naglalaro. Nakaupo ako sa may ilalim ng acasia kasalukuyan silang gumagapang sa putikan nahahati sa sampong grupo.

They were all  laughing their heart out while I was busy watching them. I smiled seeing Deiry’s being pissed on Rossweisse. Kasalukuyan kasing sinasadyang lagyan ng putik ni Rossweisse ang damit ni Deiry.

“Dali!” Sigaw nito parang batang maliit na first time hinayaang makipaglaro sa labas. Inulit-ulit nito ang ginawa nagtalon-talon sa may basang putik, nakatayo lang si Deiry habang nanggigigil na nakatitig sa lalaki. “Deiry–––putangina!” Halos atakihin ako sa kakatawa ng biglang binato ni Deiry ng bolang gawa sa putik si Rossweisse sapol na sapol ito sa mukha.  “Ganito ka ba magmahal Deiry?! Medyo sadista ka ba?!” Deiry flashed a satisfied smile leaving Rossweisse with no choice but to sigh and smile, I know that he wasn't angry about what Deiry did rather he was happy seeing the girl whom he likes smile with satisfactory.

I envy them.  I shut my eyes close feeling the chills brought by the wind. The moment I opened them a hand holding a bottled juice welcomed my sight. “Mainit,” he timidly answered. I chose not to be involved with him. “Dorothy did Genevorld told you something?” He asked. “Hanggang kailan mo ako dededmahin?”

I rolled my eyes, “pumunta ka sa girlfriend mo,” I answered shoving him away from me.

Gremory smirked. “Kaya nandito ako kasi nandito ang girlfriend ko,” inis akong tumayo at humakbang paalis. He liked this, he liked to make me a foolish, toying me until he lost his interest. Porket mahal ko siya ginagawa niya iyong advantage para paikutin ako, para paasahin at pagmukhang tanga.

Oh, well tanga naman talaga ako according to Deiry.

I had tons of bad choices and decisions way back, mas pinili kong sundin ang tibok ng kalandian kaysa maging isang NBSB na mala Maria Clara. In the end I successfully ignored Gremory tuwing magtatama ang mga mata nami’y awtomatiko akong lalayo at tuwing nararamdaman ko ng may gagawin itong kakaiba para mapalapit ako’y agad ko namang gagawing shield si Feitan na buryong-buryo sa akin.

Feitan snorted. “Dati halos sakalin mo ako tuwing binabash ko si Gremory,” he clasped his hands together. “Joke ba ‘to? After how many years sinampal ka na ng guardian angel mo ng katotohanan?” Inis kong pinalo ang kanyang braso, “late pero pwede na. ” Anito. “Sabagay, highschool love is one of the kind ‘yon nga lang mahirap kalimutan kaya goodluck.”
