Tasting Lucifer's Kiss

"Oh my God this sucks!" I tried to open my eyes and look for that thing keeps on ringing and ruining my sleep. That fucker, I will destroy you. Umayos ako at hinanap ko yung cellphone ko at tinignan kung sino ang tumawag. Uh, it's Lucienne.

"Fuck you very very much Lucienne. I'm sleeping. The fuck do you need?" I groaned and stumbled while trying to sit and removing some of my hair blocking my sight. But then, I heard a sigh on the other line.

"Today is our first day and you need to get up. School's starting within an hour." she said calmly. And that's when reality striked me. Well, fuck. It's my first day on Locusts. 

I got up at sinuot ang tsinelas ko para maligo, "Yeah, understood. Bye." at bago siya makapagsalita, I hang up. Naligo narin ako para makapag ayos na.

Well, I guess I need to be more careful today. Nasa school namin and Maori Tribe, ang clan ng mga Fremont. Allied sila ng clan namin, pero sa hindi ko maintindihang dahilan, Marco said that they are the one to blame about Gelen, my mom's death. I dont know why, and I dont have any idea kung bakit nila itutumba ang nanay ko, cause as far as I know Montes Fremont and my mom was a very good friend, back then.

Pero kung sila man ang dahilan ng pagkamatay ng magulang ko, I will surely make their lives a living hell. They don't know the power of Gren and Locusts. At sa pagkakaalam ko, doon nag aaaral ang mga Fremont, and that would be fantastic kung ipapatumba ko sila isa isa, What a very good idea.

Lumabas na ako sa banyo at sinuot ang uniform ko, tinignan ko ang sarili ko. We have unifrorm ofcourse. A mini skirt, above the knee, stocking and a black blazer with white long sleeve and a black necktie. There's a 'xii' engraved on the unifrom marking us as the senior.

Pumunta narin ako sa kotse ko para makapag drive na, I don't even know ang school, pero siguro may map naman dito sa phone ko. Well, maybe this is a 30 minute drive.

"Henrietta," I heard my name being called by someone, when I got to reach Locusts High and I'm pretty sure it's Lucienne. She's also using our uniform and such. With her black curly hair. I nodded, on her direction.  Pero may napansin ako, she has someone with her. At naka slacks ito, which mean it's a college student. Woah, woah. Who the fuck is that?

My eyebrows met when they reached me. "Who is she?" I pointed on the girl's direction asking. I observed her, she has a magenta hair na sobrang deretso, a black orbs and a pretty eye. But she has a scar on her lips na mukang nahiwa. Pero all in all, she's pretty. But her looks screams 'i don't give a fuck and you're boring.' Well, alam kong masamang manuro ng tao, but sadly I don't care because this is my territory. 

Tumingin naman si Lucienne sakanya, "Oh, Vendetta. Vendetta Aragon my step sister, and this," she pointed on me. "Is Henrietta Gren, the owner of Locusts High and Clan." Well, what a pleasing intro Lucienne. So siya pala yun, matagal na niyang kinukwento ang step sister niya, and I didn't imagine na this is what she looks like. 

"I don't care." Malamig na pahayag ni Vendetta and I was taken a back by his rude attittude. Excuse me what? But before na makapag salita ako, umalis na siya waving her hands while walking.

Lucienne looked at me, "Well, she is my step sister at siya ang tutumba sa mga Fremont like what you said,"  Ah siya pala yun? So what is she? A killer like that? "Ano ba siya?" I asked Lucienne while were walking on our way to our respective room. Sinusundan ko lang siya, dahil this is my first time on this. "Well, she is an agent from an exlusive clan or something. Last time she killed? I can't remember but If I'm not mistaken.." huminto na kami sa isang room at pumasok. "A priest." 

A what? A fucking what? A fucking priest? Oh holy shit. Matinik pala itong Vendetta na 'to. And yes, you heard it right, hindi ako ang tutumba sa mga Fremont. As much as gusto kong sa kamay ko sila mag dusa. But no. And why? Simple lang, ayokong madungisan ang pangalan at kamay ko para sa walang kwentang tao. Hindi ako papatay. No, and never.

"Oh, the transferees. Come in, I'm Joan, you're first period." Yep, and guess what. Were late. Sa pagkakaalam ko kasi, walang adviser dito dahil senior year na to, or more likely if you'll convert it, it's a second year college. Pumasok na kami like what did this Joan said. "You can introduce yourselves," Lumapit na kami sa harap, at nag signal kay Lucienne na siya ang mauna.

And so she did, "Hello everyone. I'm Lucienne Aragon an exchange student. 18, and well, maybe that's all."she said at sinabi naman ni Joan kung san siya uupo. Sumunod naman ako sa harap to introduce myself.

I scanned all the people here, all the students.  All of them. None of them are even familiar or something. New faces and indeed na hindi ko sila kilala. I stood and faced all the students, "Henrietta.." I said, contemplating if I'll say my last name because it's too dangerous to declare yourself as a Gren.

Huminto ang paligid, just all eyes and attention are mine. Looks like they are asking for more. But sadly, that's it. "Oh," Joan snapped back. I stared at her with my eyes saying that she cant fucking give my surname. "You can sit beside Versace Fermont at the back. Thank you." 

Versace.. Versace Fremont. A fucking Fremont.

Napangiti ako sa naisip ko. This is it. I'll seat beside a Fremont. Lumakad lang ako on the aisle and sat beside him. He's looking at the window and not even minding my prescence. "So as we proceed.." Joan continued to talk infront while me, I don't give a shit. Were too advance on California so clearly I don't need that.

I looked at the man beside me, thick eyebrows, sharp jawline, grey eyes and a porcelain skin. Well, he's fine. Not that bad as a Fermont. He's focusing his gaze at the window so I decided to talk to him. 

"Hello there," I tried to sound as nicely as possible. Then I waited for his reply. But no, he didn't even replied. 

Asshole. A Fremont indeed.
