SECRET MOVE

Chapter Six

A/N:Unedited

Athena Grace Flac

Nang pumayag si Jade na sumama kami sa kanya. Agad kaming kumilos at walang sinayang na oras. Hinawakan ni Sharpay ang kamay ko saka namin sinundan si Jade sa kitchen. And I was stunned when he opened a trapdoor in the floor. I never expected he had a 'murphy door' or secret passageway in his house! Gosh!

I was hesitant to climb down at first, because it was pitch black. It felt like a dungeon in an online game, where zombies might suddenly appear. But Sharpay told me to calm down, because I wasn’t alone. I took a deep breath and started climbing down, following Jade.

As I climbed down, I couldn't help but feel scared. I hate dark, narrow spaces. I would die if a mouse jumped on me. Oh gosh! But Sharpay laughed at me dahil ramdam nya ang panginginig ng kamay ko pero agad din syang huminto sa pagtawa nang pagalitan sya ni Jade.

We ran through an underground passageway, climbed up another ladder, and emerged from the gutter hole onto a main street several blocks away. Eww, it stunk!

"Pagsinabi kong go, tatakbo tayo papunta sa itim na kotse na yun." Instruct ni Jade sabay turo sa itim na sasakyan na nakapark sa kabilang side ng road. Tumango naman kami ni Sharpay bilang tugon. Ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko sa sobrang anxiety at kaba. I don't know what will happen next basta ang nasa isip ko nalang sumunod sa Instruction ni Jade.

When we heard Jade's 'go'  we dashed towards the car and we jump in inside the car. Jade immediately started the car and sped off, probably at full speed. Todo ang kapit ko kay Sharpay. Goodness! I didn't want to die. I thought this kind of stuff only happened in action movies, but here I was, in an action scene.

Jade turned the car at the intersection, but as we drove off, several police cars pulled up in front of us.

“WTF! What should we do now?” Sharpay asked Jade, her voice sounds worry and fear.

“Sharpay, Jade, whatever… guys, if I never see you again, I just want to say that I have a crush on both of you. Sharpay, you are the kindest and most beautiful human being I’ve ever known. And you, Jade, you’re really handsome, but…”

Nahintuan ako sa pagsasalita when Jade suddenly hit the pedal hard and started driving in reverse like a maniac.

I grabbed onto the car's handhold, my breath catching in my throat from shock and fear.

"Oh my goodness! What are you doing, Jade?! I'm too young to die! I've spent my whole life behind a computer screen. I haven’t seen the world yet! I’ve never even been to the beach!" I cried out, gripping the car handle tightly.

“You know what, guys, I think I can go to jail. Please drop me off somewhere!” I added, still trembling, and then I let out a loud scream as Jade made a sharp turn.

"Ang ingay mo Athena!" Saway ni Sharpay na halatang naiirita sa sigaw ko. Kaya nahintuan ako sa pagtili.

Jade took a sharp turn into a street, avoiding a truck by half of inch. He turned the car around 360 degrees. And started driving even faster. Magkayap kami ni Sharpay habang iyak ako ng iyak dahil sa mga panyayari. I didn’t want to be here anymore. I wanted to go home! I thought we were safe, but when I glanced in the rearview mirror, I saw two black cars hot on our tail. My entire body trembled, and my lips quivered in a panic attack.
