Trials End

Chapter 28

Patuloy lang kami sa pagbabasa ng phone. Ang iba naman ay nagkwekwentuhan. Napahinto na lang kami nang may kumatok sa pinto.

Tok tok tok

"Kami na baka pagkain na yan." Earl removed his airpods and stood up. Tumayo na rin si Claud at sumunod kay Earl.

We all stopped when we heard a sudden cough of our Claud.

"Uhh.. aray.." Daing ni Claud habang hawak ang tyan.

I saw Earl's fuming eyes and ran towards the man who kicked Claud. He grabbed his collar and threw a deathly stare. 

"Shit ano yan!"

"Claud!"

Tumayo kaming lahat at tinakbo ng mga boys ang pagitan nila kila Claud. Kitang kita ko ang pagtagis ng mga bagang ng mga lalake. Worry is visible in the girl's face.

Keith ran their distance and faced Niccolo. "What are you doing here, Niccolo?" I can already feel the coldness in his voice.

He's in front of echo boys. As if he's protecting all of them.. Us.

A mischievous smile plastered on Niccolo's face. "Ha ha ha." He started with a sarcastic laugh. "Why are you asking, Keith the great? Kayo ang pasimuno."

Pasimuno? Ano sinasabi niya? I also saw the confusing eyes of my classmates. Did our boys started a fight behind our backs? Did they sent an invitation for a fight?

"As far as I know, kayo pa ang may atraso samin. Tell me Niccolo why you are here, let's talk it out." Keith's trying to keep all his emotions. Alam ko, kita ko ang pasimpleng sipsip niya sa kanyang kanang pisnge.

He's still standing tall between echo and alpha.

Nagkibit balikat si Niccolo. "Don't be like that, Keith. Maliit na bagay lang naman ang issue sa theme pero anong ginawa niyo? Nag upload kayo ng poster para sabutahin kami! Ganyan ba kayo katakot matalo ha? Nag uumpisa pa lang school year ah"

"...Tapos hinayaan na namin to umupa at ayusin ng school pero ano? Binalik niyo na naman ang issue ngayon! Lahat ng studyante sa university pati ibang year ang sama ng tingin samin!" Sumigaw pa siya lalo para madinig ng lahat ang kanyang galit.

Saan ba niya nakukuha yan? Hindi nga kami pumatol sa mga ginagawa nila. Sila nandaya, nanlait at nang aaway. Bakit parang kasalanan namin?

Pinanliitan siya ng mata ni Keith."If I were you Niccolo, know the story first before coming here."

A laugh escaped on Niccolo's lips. "Kung maka asta ka para namang mas makapangyarihan ka sakin..."

Niccolo smirked. He took a step at ngayon mas lalong malapit na sila ni Keith. Keith didn't move an inch and still looking at him eye to eye.

The whole Alpha class steps forward too. Still, Keith didn't faze.

"Pinapaala ko lang sayo Keith na kaya ko pabagsakin yang mga hotel mo." Nakangisi lang si Niccolo habang si Keith ay kalmado lang nakatitig sa kanya. Nakapasok na ang buong Alpha sa room.

Mas mataas sa kanya si Niccolo?

So what duh

It's not a surprise na nagkasya kami sa loob ng room. Our room is twice as big as the regular classrooms. Malaki na ang room namin kaya nakakatakbo sila dito, kaya naiintindihan ko ang gulat nila Rave nang makita nila ang lawak ng room ng alpha.

My patience reached its peak and I decided to accompany Keith in the front. I walked and every step I made, they looked at me one by one. Uso naman kasing huminahon but it looks like hindi lang usap to.
