-MIKHAELA GARCIA’S POINT VIEW-
It’s Sunday at wala akong magawa. Maybe I should go shopping for things dahil ubos na rin ang supplies sa dorm. The dorm management heard about murder’s death kaya wala muna daw akong roommate, but it’s a good thing afterall. I brought my point collector kasi umiba na ang rules.
The points we have will be used in this University as the money, I have atleast 1k points at OFCOURSE hindi iyon sapat para maging pera ko! I don’t know who changed the rules, pero mukhang abuse lang ata iyan! Si Shane ay nakaabot na ng 20k points and I have absolutely no idea how she got those! Kailangan ko talaga ang pro tip nya, ASAP kasi hindi sapat ang points ko para sa shopping!
“Hemera, how do you collect many points the easiest way?” Tanong ko kay Shane as if she was a search engine.
“You can defeat a lower gangsters and force them to give you a big amount or you can do some errands and demand for a big amount, I’m pretty sure you would dislike the errands.” Sagot ni Shane.
“Anything else which I wont need to waste an energy with?”
“Hmm, pwede rin umabot ka ng 90 and up sa mga tests and quizzes. I’ve heard the smart students gets 5k points each week.” Sabi pa ni Shane and I made a face.
“Are you referring to yourself, hemera?” sabi ko sakanya.
“Hmmm… I guess?”
“Haayss. Looks like shopping is off the menu. Pati sa canteen din ba ay points na din ang gagamitin?” tanong ko kay Shane.
“Yeah. Almost everyone is suffering because of it- well not everyone, mostlikely the weak ones kasi wala silang magawa and just get defeated at nababawasan lang araw-araw ang points nila.” Ani Shane. I thought about the situation of Natasha, marami siguro syang points and that was probably the reason why the Devil Gang interfered with someone as weak as her.
“Do you have good news for me?” It’s been a while since I asked that question, wala din naman ang roommate nya so I sat on the couch beside her.
“Eh. Just a couple of news. I don’t think na magugustuhan mo ang mga balitang iyon.” Ani Shane.
“E’hem! JUST TELL HER A GOOD NEWS. A good news is what the Queen wanted.” Biglang saad ni Abby at binigyan ng madilim na tingin si Shane. She’s right, I want good news, but it’s odd she’d say that.
“Alright. The polls are open, you can catch up and become the President of this school. The president and the Vice will be given an annual income of 100k points. Sounds good?”
WHAT!? Oh my gosh, gusto ko ‘yan!
“Ano nga ba ang mga specific na trabaho ng president?” Tanong ko.
“Hmmm… The president give orders, nag-aayos ng problema, nag-sho-shoulder ng problema ng paaralan, worry about the supplies inside the university, lead the seminar ng mga guro, segregate the money given to the university para may mga supplies ang bawat stores, they segregate the money for the teachers and the staff members, pati na rin ang mga vendors, they make sure to maintain the assurance of the school, naghahanap ng mga bagong estudyante, identify wich students should have the right to stay or to be expelled at mawawalan ng legal position sa Gangster Government-”
“Stop. Ayoko ng ganyang trabaho. Magigiba lang ang utak ko nyan.” Sabi ko.
“So that means, can I be the president?” Tanong agad ni Shane.
“Sure, do what you want, pero ayokong magiging excuses mo ‘yan sa mga utos ko.” She’ll be busy at sasabihin nya na wala syang time and- Argghh. She’s the most smartest among us. I need her and her time for me.
“Yes! Walang problema!” Ani Shane.
“Pffh! Make sure you’ll share your points with us.” Sabi ni Abby.
“Hehh? Sa’yo? Pff. No.” Ani Shane.
Aha! May na-isip na akong ideya para makakuha ng points!
“No! You’re sharing your points with our Queen, with me and with Evelyn.” Abby hissed at shane.
“What? Me? No no, no offense abbs, I don’t need your help or neither of you guys’ help to get me points. I have a dog that collects points for me.” Maktol ni Evelyn. Ehh?
“Who’s this dog? Akala ko iniwan mo si Coconut kay Katelyn.” Sabi ko.
“No, not coconut. It’s Cj.” Sabi ni Evelyn at pinaburot ang bubble gum nito. EHH?!
“You I noticed you’ve been calling Cj a dog since the beginning, akala ko sya lang ang pinaka-totoo mo’ng kaibigan?” Ani Abby kay Evelyn. Evelyn dropped her phone at parang naluha.
“No he’s not! Alam mo ba Abby, kung sino ang tinuri kong totoong kaibigan? It was you! I treated you my bestfriend in this whole big world! Napaka-dami kong kaibigan and you’re the only one whom I treated best, of course Queen is excluded in this friendship thingy because we serve her the best, But I swear, Abby! I know you noticed to na parang magbestfriends na tayo, but why do I feel like mas close pa kayo ni Shane?! It hurts, alam mo?” Drama ni Evelyn and I rolled my eyeballs.
“Oh. I think that’s offensive.” Sabi ni Shane.
“I don’t think it is.” It’s a joke. Evelyn.
“Para sainyo, hindi. But clearly I took that as a very offensive speech.” Sabi ni Shane. Napaikot naman muli ang mga mata ko.
“Ahm. Eh, because… Evelyn, hindi ka kasi mukhang saucy… But uh… we’re still friends, aren’t we?” Ani Abby. I wonder what she meant by that.
“Saucy? Do I look like a dry meat now?” Reklamo ni Evelyn.
“Hindi naman, but you do look like a dry meat.” Sagot ni Abby.
“See! I knew you don’t like me anymore! I noticed you liked shane because she’s hot.” Reklamo pa ni Evelyn. Bakit parang nawawala na ako sa topic nila?
“Me?”
“Oh, No, of course not. Shane is just clever.” Sabi ni Abby and her face blushed.
“Abby, tell me what kind of stuff you got into.” Sabi ko kay Abbigail. She’s acting strange lately at ayoko ‘yang ugali nya ngayon!
“Napalapit lang naman ako sa isang weird freaky girl, and now I understand her. Would you guys accept If I be a lesbian?” Sabi ni Abby. I just noticed her showy outfit and she’s brushing her legs against themselves.
“Abbs, aren’t we Lesbians? Diba mahal natin ang isa’t isa? We sleep together, we cuddle and kiss eachother on the cheeks! Doesn’t that what lesbians do?” Maktol pa ni Evelyn. Uhh…
“Uh… more than that..” Ani Abby.
“Oh I see. I know what you mean, abby. And I’m not against it nor agreeing with it either.” Sabi ni Shane.
“So magiging Lesbian ka na talaga? Is that an indirect way of telling us na pagod ka na kakahabol kay Josh.. o tumarget ng lalake?” I should probably knock the sense out of her.
“Nope. Hindi naman ganun, go pa rin ako kay Josh. But of course, wala namang masisira kung gusto nya pa ako but he’s just holding back against it, alam ko yun. So if I’m interested with a girl, it’s not a problem at all.” Ani Abby. Ehh?!
“I don’t understand a single thing.” Ani Evelyn.
“Huh. Nice.” Ani Shane. Sa pagtingin nya ay nice iyon? My god, what has gone with the two of them. With the three of them!
Abby blushed but it was creepy because she’s giving off a weird vibe and I wide grin on her face. Pumatong sya kay shane at pinag-dikit ang dibdib nila and she kissed her! What the hell?!
“Abby! Eww! What are you doing!?” SIgaw ni Evelyn. Exactly!
They kissed for a while dahil sumabay din si Shane! NOOoO!! My beautiful Queens!
“Mhm.. You’re good, Shane.” Sabi ni Abby kay Shane.
“Eh. I cant tell but we’re both Equal now.” Sabi din ni Shane. THAT DOESN’T MIND HER AT ALL?!
“Ano na ba ang nangyayari sainyo?” Huhuhu my beautiful Queens gone off wild! AhhHH!!!!
“I’m fine, Queen.” Sabi ni Shane. NO you’re not!
“Queen,” Tinabihan ako ni Abby at niyakap sa tagiliran and kissed me on the cheeks. That’s a weird vibe there.
“Nothing is going to change if we’re all acting just normal.” Sabi ni Abby.
“You’re not acting normal.” Not at all!
“pero okay lang naman, di’ba?” Sabi ni Abby. Hahalikan na sana ako ni Abby sa labi ng binlock ito ni Evelyn.
“I’m not letting you infiltrate our Queen.” Malamig na saad ni Evelyn kay Abby.
“Infiltrate? That’s a mean thing to say it. Hindi naman ako mukhang germs.” Arteng saad ni Abby.
“Oh, no, Abby. You do look like a germs to me now.” Sabi ni Evelyn.
“W-what?” Tumayo si Abby at niyakap si Evelyn. She brushed her cheeks on Evelyn’s cheeks and giggled like a middle schooler.
“A-abby, s-stop!”
Hindi ko na sila pinansin at tinuon ang pansin kay Shane. She’s the Shane shane I know, palaging malamig when she’s not interested on a case.
“Abby really can go oftenly weird.” Sabi ko.
“Oo nga. We can tell.” Sabi ni Shane. Shane oftenly go weird too, wala naman din syang kakaibang expression sa ginawa ni Abby! Oh god.
I heard my point collector ringed kaya kinuha ko ito mula sa bulsa. 5,000 points was transferred to your Account, student number 3001.
I checked my poinst at naging six thousand na ito!
Shane threw her phone in the air at sinalo naman ito, or it was probably her point collector.
“Did you-?”
“Yep. Pleased now?” anito.
“I am. Thanks!” Pasalamat ko at nag-paalam na sakanila. Now I have enough points to spend on the mall! Ibinulsa ko na ang point collector and left the building.
Apat na building pa ang layo papunta sa Mall building, which means I can encounter someone along the way at madadagdagan pa ang points ko.
Napansin ko ang isang lalake na papalakad sa direksyon ko, I sensed a cold aura on him kaya hinarangan ko ang daan nya. Let me remind myself na hindi ako naka-mask ngayon, I should attract more attention pero wala masyadong estudyante dito sa daan.
The guy went another direction kaya sinundan ko lang ito and blocked him every time.
“Excuse me.” Sabi nito.
Ah, polite din pala.
“I challenge you to a duel.” It’s unlikely for me to challenge just anyone I see, pero mukhang malakas din naman ang taong ito.
Matama nito akong tinignan at sinimangutan.
“Challenge… Not accepted.” Sabi nito. Ugh?! ANO!?
“Tss.” He stepped away at lumayo saakin! Does he think he’s a hot sh*t?!
But.. he do look hot and handsome.
“Hey! I’m not done with you!” Sigaw ko sakanya.
“Some day.” I heard him said at pumasok na sa isang building. Rrgh!
Nagpatuloy nalang ako sa paglalakad until I reached the front gate of the mall.
Ehehehe I want some cappuccino right now.
Papasok na sana ako sa mall when something got my attention, isn’t that-
“Hoy hoy!” I ran towards that gang dahil parang may tinatalo sila. They were beating a boy!
“Ano’ng ginagawa nyo!?” base sa necktie nila, they looked like the 3rd year college students! And they’re beating a junior high?!
A guy clenched his fist at dumura sa gilid.
“Jythe, this girl is the worth.” Sabi ng isang lalake. Kinwelyohan ko yung nag-ngangalang Jythe at pinagsusuntok ang mukha hanggang hindi na ito makagalaw. Wala man din itong stratehiya at madali ko lang siya napatumba. His friends were wide mouth opened kaya ibinagsak ko na sa sahig ang lalake.
“Give me some points.” Sabi ko sakanila.
Nagulat naman ako when they all knelt infront of me at inabot saakin ang kanilang mga point collector.
Tingnan mo ba nga naman!
“Please, be our Queen.”
“You may take all of our points.”
All of them were like surrendering their lives on me. Ganyan ba talaga sila ka bobo?
Hindi ko nalang tinanggap ang point collector nila, I feel bad if I take away something important mula sa mga tanga. Tinulungan kong makatayo ang binugbog nila na bata.
Wooh. What a pretty boy he is, mahaba ang pilok mata and thick eyebrows.
“Ayos ka lang ba?” Tanong ko sa bata.
“w-why are you helping me?” tanong nito, pinitik ko naman ng mahina ang noo nya.
“Answer me first.” Sabi ko.
“I-I’m not.” Sabi nito and wiped the blood on his lips and nose. He was badly bruised at nainis pa tuloy ako sa mga lokong ito!
“Why did you beat this kid?!” Singhal ko sa apat na nakaluhod. They trembled at halos hindi makasalita kaya inulit ko ang sinabi ko.
“B-binangga nya kasi ang pinuno nami-”
“IYON LANG ANG DAHILAN NYO!?”
They gulped at idinikit na nila ang mga noo nila sa lupa.
“Patawad!” they said.
Huh. They really are such fools.
“Wag nga kayong lumuhod! Take your friend to a clinic and don’t ever touch this boy again.” Sabi ko. I got some good lucks today. The guys followed my orders at kinuha agad ang pinuno nila palayo.
“Th-thanks for saving me.” Nakayukong saad ng bata.
“No problem. What’s your name?” I don’t think a kid like him shouldn’t be wandering around here.
“Z-zen. That’s my code name.” He replied.
“Well, Zen. You looked like a tough boy, mind if you come with me on a café?” And I meant by the ‘TOUGH’ is mukhang hindi naman sya nabahala na nabugbog sya, he seemed to act normal on it.
“S-sure, if that will repay your help…”
“Yep.”
Inabot ko sakanya ang band-aid na dala ko, I have a couple of them on my pockets.
Pumasok na kami sa mall and entered a café, wala eh, mabait ako ngayon kaya ililibre ko nalang ang batang ito. We sat on a two-seated table facing each other. His face kinda reminded me of someone.
“Are you someone’s sibling?” tanong ko rito. Nagulat sya sa tanong ko and looked away. Sabi na nga ba!
“Na-fa-familiarized ko ang mukha mo, sino ba ang kuya or ate mo?”
The boy hesitated pero sumagot din naman.
“M-my brother’s name is Travez, ch-Chavez ang apelyedo namin.” Sabi ng bata. I dont know anyone
with that name though. But I do know Sir Traviz.
“Code name?”
“H-his codename should be Zero… But he is knowned as Murder King…”
KAPATID SYA NI MURDER KING?! Kaya pala! What I saw on his face is murder king’s face!
“You’re his younger brother!? I never thought he had one!” Nagulat naman ang bata. Maybe I just raised my voice too high.
“E-everyone thinks the same thing..” Sabi ni Zen at tinabunan ang ulo nya with his hood. Kaya pala, he must be depressed dahil pumanaw na ang kuya nya.
“I’m his roommate. And I’m sorry about your loss, nakikiramay ako.” I wonder what murder’s real backstory is. Gusto kong malaman but sa palagay ko hindi ito ang tamang oras para magtanong.
“I-I’m not sad about his death. I should be happy because he said he’s happy to depart fom this world.” Sabi ng bata. Ano raw?
“H-ha? Kuya mo yun and you’re just going to say that?”
“If he’s happy about it, hindi dapat ako malulungkot. H-he he’s going to beat me again if- i-if I’ll be sad.” Sabi ni Zen at pumapatak na ang mga luha sa mga mata nya.
GANYAN BA TALAGA KA-SAMA SI MURDER SA KAPATID NYA?!
