INVETERATE: Shattered Fate

Shattered #7: First Party Under The Contract

Jury's POV:

"Hi, Jury."

"God, my classes this morning is finally over. At last."

"Chet, take my bag, will you?"

Hindi ko pinansin ang tatlo kong kaibigan nang lumapit sila sa lamesa ko sa loob ng cafeteria, I just grumpily munch my food with my brows furrowed. Nang makaupo silang tatlo ay patuloy pa rin silang nagku-kwentuhan.

Mas lalong sumama ang itsyura ko nang maalala ko nanaman ang nangyari kahapon, I can't believe I said okay to his offer. Natauhan lang ako nitong umaga at doon na ako sinimulang mabad-trip.

"Hey."

Umangat ang tingin ko nang tawagin ako ni Nathan.

Tiningnan ko lang siya habang patuloy na kumakain at masama ang timpla ng mukha ko, he frowned at my looks.

"Is the food that bad?"

I shook my head aggressively and started to eat faster than earlier, I was munching with so much hatred that the three of them stopped moving ang just stared at me with their mouth slight open.

"What?" I asked while there's still some food inside my mouth, umiwas naman sila ng tingin bago nagsimulang kumain.

I just rolled my eyes and continued to eat in silence.

I hope I won't see that guy around the University, I wanted to have a good day. Sana rin ay huwag niya akong i-text o tawagan para lang utusan.

"Woah..."

Sinulyapan ko si Chet nang magsalita siya, he was looking at someone with some admiration in his eyes, even the two are looking at that person too.

Nakakunot ang noo na sinundan ko ng tingin ang tinitingnan nila habang patuloy pa rin na ngumunguya ako ng pagkain, my frown deepened when I saw a student walking inside the cafeteria.

What's with the woah to them? He just looks like a pretty normal and descent college student who study well. He looks like he's from a formal, strict and rich family too.

"Dean Park... The famous student in the Business Department." Bulong ni Chet sa sarili niya pero narinig namin 'yon, "He wasn't famous because he looks hot or intimidating, he was known for his intelligence and yow... He acts and looks clean, even his face looks serious everytime even though his style came from a nerdy loser."

I just gave the guy who's name is Dean a bored look, nagpatuloy lang ako sa pagnguya at tiningnan siya.

His uniform is so clean that even his suit is way more cleaner than we have. Plinantsa ba niya 'yon nang sampung beses?

His hair is ash grey and a bit curly, I couldn't see his whole face though because he's not facing us.

I scoffed mentally.

What's so special with that student, though? Naging kilala lang siya dahil matalino siya at maingat gumalaw? Really?

I blew a loud breath. I'm starting to be judgemental, I'm not even like this before. Is it because of my anger towards Noah that I can't even control it now?

Nathan shrugged, "He looks like a serious and good kid to me." Nagpatuloy ulit siya sa pag-kain at hindi na pinansin ang estudyante na pumasok. Harvard continued eating too while Chet remained his look at him for some seconds before continuing to eat too like nothing happened.

Bumuga ako nang malalim na hinga nang makatapos na ako sa pag-kain at tumayo, "Sa cr lang ako." paalam ko at dire-diretsyong naglakad papunta sa cr sa dulo ng cafeteria.
