Jury's POV:
After seeing them fight, I immediately stood up but still looked at them while hiding behind the open door. They were unmoved, even the girl with them didn't move a muscle.
They really fought with them and although they're being outnumbered, they still won.
Wow...
Are they a professional fighter? Or...
"Ah!"
Napasigaw ako nang biglang tumama nang malakas ang pinto sa kaliwang braso ko, hinawakan ko 'yon bago sumilip para tingnan kung paano nangyari 'yon.
I blew a loud breath when I saw two guys bickering with each other while walking at the hallway, mukhang nagkasakitan na sila dahil tinulak ng isa ang kasama niya dahilan para tumama siya sa pinto at mahampas naman ang braso ko ng pinto. They didn't even apologized, they just kept on bickering while still drunk walking.
Hinihimas ang braso na sumilip muli ako sa may pinto, my eyes widen when I saw Noah and Chase walking towards the door. Mukhang narinig nila ang sigaw ko, even though the music is loud, this area is still empty. Ako lang ang tao sa loob kaya alam kong rinig na rinig nila ang pagsigaw ko.
Sumandal ako sa pader at kinakabahan na huminga nang mabihis.
Did he saw me? Or did they heard me?
Dahan-dahan akong umalis sa pagkakasandal at mabagal na sumilip para tingnan kung nasa labas pa rin sila pero hindi ko na sila nakita, mga taong napatumba lang nila ang natira sa labas. I tried to look around while still peaking but I couldn't see them, ever their shadows.
Napalunok ako nang may maramdaman akong nakatayo sa likuran ko, I slowly look behind me without moving my head and body. I wanted to see if someone's really here with me using my peripheral view only but I couldn't see a thing.
If he will suspect me that I witness what they did, baka magaya pa ako sa kanila -
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Mabilis kong hinarap ang taong nagsalita sa likuran, I blinked multiple times when I saw Noah standing in front of me. Nakakunot ang noo na nakatingin siya saakin, he's just alone, maybe Chase and the girl already walked away except from him just to corner me.
"Ah... I... You see..." Kinuha ko ang bracelet sa bulsa ko at akmang ibibigay na sana sakanya 'yon pero agad siyang umayos ng tayo at nagsalita.
"Whatever. Get lost, weirdo."
"... Ha?"
Sinundan ko siya ng tingin nang nakalagay sa magkabilang bulsa ang kamay niya na naglakad palayo saakin, I couldn't move my feet to catch him. Nanatili lang akong nakatayo at naka-angat ang kamay habang hawak ang bracelet na isasauli ko sana sakanya.
Did... Did he just called me weirdo?
I groaned, naiinis na binulsa ko nalang ang bracelet at sinamaan siya ng tingin bago pa siya makaliko ng daan.
"I'll choke you to death if you ever suspect me about losing your bracelet, you moron." Bulong ko sa sarili ko.
Kinuyom ko ang kamao ko bago naglakad sa kabilang daan, I need to enjoy my night. If I'll just let myself be annoyed at him, baka mapagaya pa ako sakanya.
I couldn't believe someone who looks like him will have the opposite attitude of him, just seeing how he stand and talk. I could probably say that he's a warfreak type of guy.
