Seduced by the Mafia

Chapter 8: Ruined

Penelope's POV

"HE WHAT!???"

Napatakip ako sa tenga ko sa lakas ng sigaw ni Stella, napalingon samin ang iilang tao sa canteen kaya tinitigan ko siya ng masama.

She laughed nervously towards the crowd before looking back at me and stared back.

"Noong isang araw lang kilig na kilig pa ako sa pa bear, roses and strawberries tapos ngayon malalaman kong muntik ka ng gahasain!?"

Nagtitimping sumigaw na wika niya habang nanlalaki ang kanyang mga mata na nakatingin sakin. Tinampal ko ng mahina ang bibig niya bago magsalita.

"Right?"

I agreed with her statement when she suddenly furrowed her brows and looked at me questioningly.

"Right? By right, you mean kinilig ka din don sa mga pinadala niya? Including the broccoli and the bread?"

I rolled my eyes at her, as if this was the time to be talking about what I felt when the same person had almost molested the hell out of me.

I was about to say something to Stella when my attention was caught by a familiar figure.

"Devin!!"

I called out to him and waved my hand, which made him look at me, boredom consuming his entire face.

I don't know why, but I feel like his presence is always familiar. Have I met him before? Parang pag nandiyan siya parang may naaalala ako pero di ko alam kung ano.

"Bakit?"

Magkasalubong ang kilay niyang tanong sakin. Inabot ko sa kanya ang paper bag na may laman na snack nilang tatlo na hindi niya naman inabot at tinitigan lang.

"Bubuhatin mo ba gamit mata mo? Nangangalay na ako dito."

Ibinaling niya sakin ang mga mata niya mula sa paper bag, parehong nasa magkabilang bulsa niya ang mga kamay niya, nag aabang akong abutin niya ito pero hindi niya ako pinansin at nilampasan ako kaya hinila ko siya pabalik gamit ang bag niya.

"Ano ba?! Hindi ako pupunta sa training. Kainin mo nalang yan."

Naiinis niyang wika, napairap nanaman ako ng mata ko. May mga araw talaga na sinusubok ako ng isa sa kanila.

"Devin may usapan tayo."

I stated firmly, which finally caught his attention. He snatched the paper bag aggressively from my hand and held it tightly.

"Tss."

Tanging nasabi niya at nagsimula ng maglakad palayo.

"Ano yon? Nautusan mo si Devin? Pano mo yon ginawa?"

Nagtatakang tanong ni Stella sa halos hindi mapaniwalang tono. Devin was known to be a troublemaker, like he literally made the whole campus know just how much trouble he can cause. The list was so long that I don't know where to start, but some of the recent incidents include when their swimming schedule was moved to 7 am, and I heard he didn't want to participate, so he put some poop in the pool. Another incident was the vending machine at our department area stopped functioning because of him; I heard he got burned by hot coffee, and voila! the vending machine ended up dead and just yesterday, he replaced the USB for the film showing of the department, and we were so shocked to suddenly be watching porn during theology activity.

The list goes on, but despite the numerous times his parents were called to the guidance office, I heard the sad part is that none of those times did a family member come to settle things for him. It was always just anyone, but definitely not a family member.
At first I only thought that his parents may be busy but thinking about it now it seems like somethings going on in the background.
