Augusta Walker

Chapter 8; Change of Plans

Augusta's P.O.V

He...seduced me...?What?Ano?

Sa galit 'ko,tumayo ako at sinundan siya sa labas.Nakita 'ko naman na pumasok siya sa dalawang malalaking pinto sa end ng hall.

He knows I'm following him,he's smart,after all.Pumasok na rin ako sa malaking room at nakita siya'ng nakaupo sa swivel chair niya.

"Bakit sinundan mo 'ko?" Tanong naman niya ng kalmado.

"Seduced?Really?Inakit mo 'ko?!" Nagagalit talaga ako sa sarili 'ko--I fell for it.Napakahina 'ko talaga.No,let me rephrase that,napakaweak ng strategy niya.Psh.I'm not weak.No.

He nodded."Sa Tagalog,oo." Then gave me a playful smirk habang paikot-ikot siya ng 90 degrees sa upuan niya."May...problema ba?"

"I can't believe you!Grabe ka!"

"Bakit?" Oh,he's playing the innocent."Anong ginawa 'ko?"

"Seducing is a weak strategy.Cheap moves." Pampupula 'ko naman sa kaniya.

Tumayo siya at unti unting lumapit sa'kin.He stared at my eyes,I stared back.Nang 5 inches na lang ang distansiya namin,slowly,inilapit niya ang mukha niya sa tainga 'ko.I shivered.I didn't move,I can't move.I can feel his hot breath against my neck.

"Cheap moves give me everything I want." He whispered attractively then eventually took a step back.

I stared at him,surprised,with anger clouding my eyes."Adik." I hissed.

Ngumisi na lang siya."Judgemental." He countered.Ako pa judgemental?

"Oh,shut up.Peabrain."

"How so?Is that the nice way to talk to the Vampire Government's president?" He teased.

Aba't talaga'ng--

"Yeah,the loudest president I've ever known who doesn't consider the things around him before he plans something." I snapped.

Tiningnan niya agad ako ng seryoso.He tilted his head to the side."I know you're proving a point there."

Napaisip ako ng mabuti sa sinabi niyang plano,I'm finding loopholes then bigla na lang ako'ng natauhan at napatingin sa malayo."Yeah,I think I am now."

"Tell me," Umupo siya ulit sa swivel chair niya.He's so graceful,careful with every step."What's that?"

Tumawa ako ng malagim."I finally have something against your plan."

"Excuse me?"

"Anong araw na ngayon?"

"Friday...?Hindi ko sigurado.Bakit?" Nagtataka niyang sagot.Hindi pa rin niya nakuha.

"Yeah.I can't go to school,no more."

He looked down his desk,thinking deeply,he looked up at me after with a smirk glued on his face."Monday pa,Ms.Walker."

Ngumisi rin ako.Hindi niya talaga nakuha ang pinaparating 'ko."Yeah.So what date is today?"

"I'm not sure.I don't like watching days pass by,I'm immortal and it hurts me to think I'm getting older each day." He snorted.

"Kahapon,March 1." Pinaalala 'ko naman agad sa kaniya.

"So March 2 ngayon?What's the point?" Tanong niya habang nakataas ang isa niyang kilay.

"Maybe you lost track of time as a vampire too much that," Naglakad ako ng pabalik balik sa harap ng desk niya habang nakapatong ang isang kamay 'ko sa desk niya,examining the wood used.

"That?" He urged,sounding curious.

"That you forgot the school days end on the last two weeks of March." I turned my heels around,turning on my right direction,then started walking again."Point? I don't think your plan will succeed.Wala pa'ng isang buwan 'yon,and I need,what?A year or so?" Kalmado 'kong sabi,pinabayaan 'ko siyang nakatingin lang sa'kin,nagiisip.

Tumayo siya at lumapit sa'kin.Tumigil ako ng paglalakad.He nodded."Wow.You really have taken almost all my firsts in life,did you?"

"Huh?" Tanong 'ko naman,naguguluhan.

"Ikaw ang unang nilalang na sumipa sa'kin.Unbelievable.Sa bilis 'ko'ng 'to, natamaan pa 'ko." Tumingin ako sa baba nang sinabi niya iyon.Naalala 'ko pa 'yon,it was just yesterday and it felt like a decade back."Unang nilalang na," He paused,tumingin ako sa kaniya."Pinaalis 'ko na pinabalik 'ko ulit." He continued.

"Madami nga." Sabi 'ko sa kaniya ng sumasang-ayon.Hindi 'ko alam kung bakit iniiba niya ang topic kahit alam naman niya sa sarili niya'ng tama ako.

He waved his index finger at me."Hindi lang 'yon,tama ka rin sa sinabi mo.Palpak ang plano 'ko at nakita mo 'yon agad.You outsmarted me as I do not per se the disadvantages."

Tumingin lang ako sa kaniya."First correction of my immortal life."

Tiningnan 'ko siya,nagtataka."Big deal?" Tanong 'ko agad.

Tumango lang siya."I-reschedule natin ang pagpasok mo.How about...this upcoming school year?" He offered.

Umiling lang ako at tinaas ang parehas 'kong kamay."I'm still against this."

"This year,then." Sabi naman niya,settling the decision.

"Anong gagawin 'ko sa natitirang months?Lay back?" Tanong 'ko agad,worried.If I get bored,my natural habbit is to hunt.

Sumandal siya sa desk niya at nag-crossed arms.Tumingin siya sa floor na tila parang ang lalim ng iniisip niya.From the look on his face,ayoko nang basahin ang utak niya,baka sa sobrang dami ng iniisip niya,maguluhan lang ako.His brows are knitted together.

"Umm..." Imik 'ko naman,getting his attention.

Tumingin siya sa'kin at ngumiti.I'm loving his smile."We'll just enhance your control skills."

"Ano?"

"You know,the usual way.Good idea rin 'to dahil pag pumasok ka na,less na ang chance na makakagat ka ng tao dahil buong summer,nagtrain ka."

"Sino naman ang trainor 'ko?" Tanong 'ko,getting his idea.

He smirked."You're looking at him."

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya."Excuse me?"

He gave me a smug expression."What?It's a slow season and I'm bored.I can train you personally."

"Settled?"

"Yes,ofcourse." He assured.

Tiningnan 'ko lang siya ng masama."Hindi mo man lang kukunin ang opinion ng Government body?Ganon na lang 'yon?Basta approved ka?" Sarkastiko ko namang sabi sa kaniya.

Ngumisi siya bago tumingin sa malayo."They know I won't listen to their opinions.They know for a fact that I don't value their thoughts as much as I should." Tumingin siya sa'kin ulit."So,why bother?"

Umalis na siya sa pagkakasandal niya sa desk niya at umupo na ulit.

"Ano pa ang halaga ng Government body kung sarili mo lang pala ang sinusunod mo?" Tanong 'ko agad.

He just shrugged his shoulders."I don't know.They're like my helpers or something."

I sighed."President,you're such a jerk."

He smiled smugly."I know.Don't rub it in."
