The Rain Street In Ohio (Army Series #2)

Kabanata 2

Tumaas baba ang aking paghinga.

Muli siyang lumingon matapos ko siyang suntokin.

We looked at each other's eyes like a fire. Mga matang tila naghihimagsik sa nararamdaman at galit dahil sa nangyari.

He was about to speak again pero kinuha ko ang baril at ilang mga magazines roon para ibalik sa may organizers tsaka ako umalis.

"How dare him?!" I shouted out of nowhere.

"Kabago bago palang niya rito. He even didn't know what I'm capable of!" Reklamo 'ko.

"He did not know how I'm skilled enough in my position and for this fucking team!" Sigaw 'ko sa aking sarili habang naglalakad paalis.

Ni hindi ko tuloy alam kung saan ako tutungo.

I went into the medical site para ibuhos ang nararamdaman 'ko kay Ry. I told her what happened a while back dahil nakakainis na.

"Maybe he has a reason?" Si Ry.

Nganga akong napatingin sa aking kaibigan.

"Which side are you?!" I asked.

"Of course, you. Always." Aniya tsaka tumayo. She gave me a tea to calm down.

"But, you should ask him why. Carson." Pangaral nito sakin.

I bite my lips out of frustration.

"Yes, he's a bit arrogant. He judged you because of your gender. But it's his opinion lang naman. And maybe he has his own reason why he said that to you." Aniya.

Napasapo nalang ako sa aking noo.

I can't.

I can't with this shit.

"But remember, you're a Martinez. Pakita mo sa kaniya kung sino ka at kung gaano ka kagaling." Si Ry.

"Show him how skilled you are. That you are more worthy, specially in your new team." She added.

Right!

I should show him and make him feel that he's wrong in the very first place.

I nodded at her.

Paglabas 'ko sa site ay nakasalubong 'ko kaagad sila Lior at Briar.

"We've been looking for you." Si Lior nang nakita ako.

Aakmang magsasalita na sana ako nang inunahan ako ni Briar.

"Did you punched someone?" Kumunot ang noo ko sa kanyang sinabi.

I can't lie.

"Wow. Ang bilis naman yatang kumalat?" Sambit ko. Lior gasped. Tila hindi inaasahan iyun.

Tsaka bakit alam ni Briar?

Mas lumapit pa si Briar sa akin.

"I think someone saw you at the training station, Carson. You might get suspended." Briar whispered.

Napalabi ako.

"I know your situation inside our new team, but please. Lose your temper kahit minsan lang." Briar favored.

"Did you know what he said to me?" Kako ng halos pasigaw.

"He asked me to switch position–"

"What the hell?" Lior cursed.

"He judged me which is wrong. Ni hindi pa niya ako nakikilala ng maayos!" I shouted. Hindi ko na naman mapigilan.

Napalabi si Briar.
