Bring Me Home (Batangas Series)

III

Scared

I stormed off the gymnasium and walked very fast. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako patungo. I just know na we have to be away from the crowd. Pero paano? We're at school!

I can feel Fifth following me and I know he is there dahil bawat estudyante kong nakakasalubong ay nakatingin sa likod ko.

I saw an ally between two buildings. It says 'Freedom park'. Kaagad naman ako nagtungo papunta dun. Pagkapasok ng freedom park nakita kong tumingin sa akin lahat ng estudyanteng nakatambay doon. May ilang nagpapractice ng sayaw at ilan na gumagawa ng assignment.

Bigla naman sila nagsitayuan ng nakita ang taong nasa likod ko.

You are so fucked Mona, now how do you deal with this beast.

When all the students leave, hinarap ko si Fifth. I looked at him straight in his eyes. He is wearing his PE uniform as well. His muscles were all on the right places. Now I understand why they are afraid of him. Not just because he is an Alcaraz but his physique – his height, body, muscles, and strong features. It all screams power.

"What do you want from me Fifth?" I annoyingly said to him.

He stared at me na parang binabasa ang mga nasa isip ko.

"I said, what do you want?" medyo tumaas na ang boses ko sa sobrang irita.

"Don't hang out with Sebastian." Sinabi nya with so much authority.

Napatawa naman ako sa sinabi nya.

I can't fucking believe this guy.

He looked at me confused as to why I am smiling.

"Look, Fifth." 

I walked towards him and closed our distance "I am new here in Batangas. I don't know you, your family, your history, your story, your dramas and your power but I am not like the rest that you can control." I strongly said.

I stopped walking when we are inches away.

Kailangan kong maging matapang so I can survive here in Batangas dahil kung magiging mahina ako sayang ang mga pinaghirapan ko. Sayang lahat ng sakripisyo ko.

"You can't control me, because you don't own me." I proudly said.

"Still, don't hang out with Sebastian." Matigas nyang sabi habang tinititigan ako.

I saw him gulp. Even his adams apple looked perfect. As I trail my eyes back to his eyes, I stopped to look at his lips. It was red and very hot.

I got distracted and moved a little bit away.

What the hell Mona. Now's not the time to appreciate him.

"Sige nga, tell me why. Why should I not hang out with Sebastian?" paghahamon ko sa kanya.

"Because I say so." He seemed annoyed but still very controlled.

I smirked. I can't believe this guy.

"Hindi mo ba ako narinig Fifth? I just told you, you can't control me. I have been in this school for two days! Goodness gracious! Two days pero puro sakit ng ulo ang natatanggap ko dahil sayo. Don't speak riddles with me." 

I crossed my arms and pataray kong sinabi. 

"If you think I am like your other girls, nagkakamali ka. I am not that easy. You can't control me just because you are an Alcaraz. I have my own problems. My own dreams. My own ways. Kaya tell me what you want. What do you really want? Not hang out with Sebastian?"
