Inevitably Intertwined

Chapter 1

Watch Your Words

Sitting on a bench, I looked around and closed my eyes while feeling the breeze of the morning air. Okay na sana kung wala lang epal na sinira yung moment ko.

I sighed "What do you want Marvin?" sabi ko sa tumabi sakin habang nakapikit pa rin.

"Wow, kilala agad, napaghahalataan na crush mo ko Savy ah" pang-aasar niya sakin.

"Duh, sino ba naman ang hindi ka makikilala kahit nakapikit eh pinaligo mo na naman yata yung perfume mo" I opened my eyes and turned to him. His hair was disheveled na parang kagigising lang, and the 3 buttons of his uniform were unbuttoned showing his sando inside. Para talaga siyang walang gana sa buhay ngayon sa itsura niya.

I saw Alya coming so I stood up and got my bag. Siya lang naman kasi hinihintay ko kasi same kami ng klase ngayong umaga.

"Pucha, ang tapang ah, kaninong pabango yan?" Agad na sabi ni Alya kahit hindi pa nakakalapit sa amin.

I looked at Marvin and raised an eyebrow at him. "See? Why don't you change your shirt first Marv?"

He rolled his eyes at me "Whatever" He then turned his back to go to the locker room.

"Anyare dun?" Alya asked me habang papunta kami sa first class namin.

"Nag-away sila ni Nat kahapon kasi dikit daw ng dikit si Marv sa babae nilang classmate." I sighed, kaya naman sinasabi ko nga hindi dapat na iinlove sa tropa eh, madadamay kasi talaga yung friendship niyo kapag nagka conflict sila.

"Ayan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko eh, hindi dapat na iinlove sa tropa" Alya took the words right out of my mouth. We think this way pero at the end of the day wala pa rin naman kaming magagawa kundi suportahan nalang sila.

When we arrived sa classroom Nat was already there sitting on her chair at nakadukduk yung ulo sa desk. Alya sighed and went to her. "Natasha tumayo ka, bibili tayo ng pagkain sa canteen" She took Natasha by the hand and made her stand up.

"Huh? Saan tayo pupunta Al? Naguguluhan na tanong niya kay Alya habang naglalakad kami. She looked like a mess, parang kakagaling niya lang sa iyak tapos wala pa ata siyang tulog and her hair wasn't even tied properly, parang basta nalang nilagay yung tali and then tapos na.

Alya didn't reply hanggang sa makarating kami sa canteen. Pagdating namin we were shocked to see Marvin being hugged by another girl. Marvin looked disgusted and was trying so hard to push the girl away pero mapilit talaga yung babae at parang linta kung makadikit kay Marvin.

I looked at Alya na walang ekspresyon sa mukha habang nakatingin sa kanila, and then I looked at Nat na parang iiyak na naman, but her hands was in a fist. Meanwhile here I am, galit na galit rin sa babaeng linta pero I tried to keep it in. Lalapit na sana si Natasha sa kanila pero pinigilan siya ni Alya, kaya naman ako na mismo ang lumapit sa kanila ni Marvin.

I walked gracefully and took a glass of water na nadaanan ko sa isang table. I also took holy water from Tina one of my classmate na nag se-serve sa chapel namin. I poured the holy water sa glass na hawak ko and then took the hair pin that was maintaining my bun making my hair fall down. I used my pin to mix the water in the glass. Marvin saw me walking to them, his eyes widened when he saw Nat na hawak ni Alya sa entrance ng canteen. He was too stunned to move.

Yung linta naman nakatalikod so she didn't see me. I stopped sa harap ni Marvin at ng mga tropa niya. I didn't bother to look at them or greet them kahit mas matanda sila sa akin. I was too angry today to do that baka madamay pa sila. I pulled the girl's hair from the back making her scream in pain, I didn't know why pero hearing her scream just seemed so satisfying sa mga oras na 'to, nang medjo malayo na siya kay Marvin, I poured the glass of water on her head.

"Ahhh! What the- anong problema mo?!" She looked back at me while I was smirking. "What was that for?!"

"Oh, I just decided to place you where you belong. Diba water naman talaga ang habitat ng mga linta?" She gasped and was about to say something but I cut her off "Yun nga lang hindi bastang tubig 'yan, I added holy water para ma cleanse naman ng kaunti yung pagkatao mo. Sayang wala kasi akong dala na asido eh kaya sub nalang muna yung holy water" I told her while smirking and then shrugged.

She was about to slap me but I stopped her hand, she was so desperate so she also tried to reach for my hair but a hand also stopped her. I looked at the hand that stopped her.

Cian Oliver Usoro. Isa sa mga tropa ni Marvin, he's the silent and serious type. Palibhasa he's taking Business Administration because he has to take over their family business someday.

"Rina stop, I've told you so many times to stop hitting on Marvin because he has a girlfriend" Binaba niya yung kamay ng linta and took her other hand out my grasp too.

"Kuya you know me, when I want it I have to have it." She said to him smiling

Ah, magkapatid pala sila. Hindi naman pareho ng ugali. Yung isa ang sarap ibaon sa ilalim ng lupa, yung isa naman may sariling mundo.

"Not all Karina, matuto kang lumugar." He said with finality making the bitch Karina roll her eyes. No choice rin naman pala kung ang kuya na magsalita.

"Spoiled bitch, hindi naman lahat ng bagay makukha mo noh, ano ka gold?" I whispered just enough for her to hear it.

"Wh-what?!" She asked me galit na galit.

"Ay galit na galit si ate ghurl, why though? Am I wrong?" Lumapit pa ko sa kanya habang sinasabi yon.

"You bitch!-" She tried to reach for me but I stepped back kaya naman she fell on the floor.

"Thank you" I replied and smiled at her. I knelt down so that I can face her. "Pero ghurl, kilalanin mo muna kung sinong dinidikitan mo, you might have to deal with me if you don't, 'Wag kang dikit ng dikit sa may girlfriend dahil nagmumukha kang kabit."

"Savannah Yvette, don't talk to my sister that way." Cian seriously said. I was shocked na kilala niya ko, he even said my whole name! Natigilan ako saglit pero agad namang naka recover.

I stood up and faced him. "Well Cian Oliver, before I do that, kailangan muna matutunan ng kapatid mong kontrolin 'yang kalandian niya. So stop being an asshole and take her away. 'Wag ka nang dumagdag at baka pati ikaw mahampas ko ng gitara." I turned my back on him and went to Marvin para kaladkarin siya paalis. We've still got some issues to fix.

"Watch your words woman, you don't know who you're talking to" He firmly said, making me turn to him.

"Oh, Cian Oliver Usoro right? Business Ad? Panganay of the family?" I asked him, raising my eyebrows and even tilting my head a little so I can mock him. "Trust me Oli I know quite a lot about you, and if that's not enough I'll make sure to research" I rolled my eyes at him and left.
