Chapter 5

Elle

"What the fuck is wrong with you!? Why did you lie? We could have won if you told us that you can't swim!"

"And if I did?" I stared at Harrice. She's shaking in anger. I care less because I personally think that it only makes her look hotter. "What will you do? Will you tell me not to jump on that stupid boat and kill myself?"

It's such a sight to see a Silva fighting her urge to be violent. Noon, naniniwala ako na kung mayroon man na pinakakalmadong Silva, that's Eris. But seeing Eris being so irrational in hurting Tris, I've changed my mind. Nawawala yung pagiging kalmado at antukin nito pag nakikita si Tris.

And here in front of me is a Half-blood Silva, trying to be rational, at least.

Mas lalo tuloy akong natetempt na asarin ito at sagarin yung pasensya nito. At how far she can keep that beast inside.

"Ate Harrice, it's okay. It's just a game." Someone from the team slightly push her back, away from me.

Bahagyang lumambot yung itsura nito nang awatin ito ni Dree.

"You won't, right?" Kumpirma ko pa dito. "Baka nga lunurin mo pa ako."

Kung sinabay sana ako nito kanina nang lumangoy ito baka nagpapilit pa ako kahit diring diri ako sa tubig dagat. But no, she jumped with Dree. If she care about her team, she'll go back to pick me too. Pero hindi naman sya bumalik. Nagbanta lang. Pero walang ginawa.

"Yes." she admits.

I commend her lame attempt in trying to regain her senses. Mukhang ayaw din nito na sumigaw habang nakaharap samin yung bata.

"I would push you off the edge." dugtong pa nito.

Umangat yung kilay ko bago sinenyasan si Dree na takpan yung tenga nito.

Nang makita iyon ni Harrice ay tila bulkan na sumabog na yung inis nito. Sabi na nga ba ayaw lang nitong sumigaw dahil naririnig ng bata.

"But no, I am not like you! I am not a stupid, selfish, self-entitled, fucking bitch, that only thinks about me, myself, and I. I am working with you as a team! I don't bring my personal grudges along with this! So I would have most probably just tagged you with me para sabay tayo nakalampas! Damn!"

Wait. Bakit ang sakit na naman nang mga pinagsasabi nya? First, I am not stupid! Second, I am not self-entitled because I work my ass off to have my own title. Third, I am not a fucking bitch. Saka fault nya dahil hindi naman nya ako binalikan! The nerve!

"For just a game? Bakit ba kayong mga Oliviar mga mukhang pera?!" I spat. "You will all do anything and everything for money, no?"

Kagaya lang din ito ng ate nito. Lahat gagawin para sa pera. Hindi ba kaya nga nalulong noon sa drugs si Rainey ay dahil sa kapatid nito na supply ng supply niyon?

Anong kapalit? Lahat ng allowances ni Rainey noon napupunta dito. Akala ba nila hindi ko alam na kung saan saang resort at mamahaling lugar dinadala ni Rainey si Cariette noon? That freak!

I will never forget that. She was leeching off money from Rainey.

"Do we have food?" Harrice asked our teammates.

Sabay sabay naman nitong itinuro yung isang piling ng saging.

Napatitig na lang ako dito. Mukhang kumalma na kasi ito bagamat mukhang naiiyak nang masulyapan yung pagkain na nakuha namin.

She contentedly took her share. Sat in the corner. And happily ate her one piece of banana.

Ganon lang? Tapos na itong magwala? Akala ko naman ay may ilalala pa yung ugaling barbaro nito.
