Chapter 7

WEEKS passed. Greg keep pestering her and she's been growing the tree full of different faces of annoyance. Ayaw siyang tigilan nito kahit anong taboy niya. Takot naman pala itong mawalan ng taga gawa ng projects and assignments, sana hindi siya binalewala.

"Greg, please, hindi na ako babalik sa 'yo."

Hinila pa talaga siya nito patungo sa parking lot para doon kausapin. Mukhang tiris na tiris na ang pasensya, kahit siya mauubos na ang pasensya niya.

He pinned her to his car and corner her with his arms. Naririnig niya na rin ang usapan tungkol sa kanilang hiwalayan. Who wouldn't? Kilala naman kasi si Greg, and she, she's an achiever of course she have a name too.

"May relasyon ba kayo ni Roosevelt?" Naningkit ang mga mata nito.

Her body froze in fear when Greg mentioned about Luciferus. That man, he's been driving her home every day, and it's not even a secret they do. Kapit-bahay niya naman kasi ito, kaya anong masama? Libre pamasahe na rin.

"Wala. Kapit-bahay ko siya, Greg. Please, huwag ka nang mag damay ng ibang tao dahil sa kabaliwan mo." She tried to push him but he didn't budge.

Tumaas ang sulok ng labi nito. "Talaga? Prove me." Panghahamon nito.

"Anong prove you? Ano ipapakita ko sa 'yo? Alam mo naman na wala akong kotse, nag mamagandang loob lang 'yung tao." She hissed. Her heart pounded hard to her chest. She's trying to make an excuse, she's giving her best not to stutter.

"Lalaki ako, Mel, at alam ko kung gusto ka niya o hindi and I can see that there's something going on between you two." Mas lalong lumawak ang ngisi sa labi ni Greg nang makita ang taranta sa mukha niya.

"G-Greg, tumigil ka na. If you're trying to pin me on something I never did, that won't make me go back to you, mas lalo lang akong lalayo sa 'yo." She try to reason out. Pilit niyang tinutulak si Greg palayo pero mas malakas naman ito sa kaniya. After all, she's just a woman. Weak and naive.

"Then comeback to me now, Mel. Sasayangin mo ang isang taon nating relasyon? Is that what you really wanted?" He grab her arm and grip it hard.

Nilingon niya ang mga dumadaan na estudyante. They're avoiding her gaze. Damn. Sino nga naman ba siya para tulungan. They rather watch her miserable than help her. Mga walang puso!

"Ano ba talaga ang kailangan mo, Greg? Kailangan mo ng gagawa ng projects mo? Sige, gagawin ko. Just stop pestering me!" Hindi na niya mapigilan taasan ng boses ito.

"Tangina! Kaya kong gawin 'yun kung gugustuhin ko, lumayo ka lang kay Roosevelt, Melrose."

Natigilan si Melrose sa biglang pagseryoso ni Greg. She look him in the eyes. Mukhang seryoso na nga ito. Something in his eyes was… concern.

"Wala kaming relasyon, Greg. Huwag kang gumawa ng kwento."

Greg tsked before looking behind her. He look at her before cupping her face and dipping his head for a kiss. She stilled. Hindi agad naproseso ng utak niya ang ginawa ni Greg. They kissed before but this feel wrong. Parang may mali. Nabalik siya sa ulirat nang may humila kay Greg palayo sa kaniya at diniin ito sa katapat na kotse.

Her eyes look up. It was Luciferus. He was holding Greg's collar while pinning him in the car, she know it was rough grasp, she could see Greg's face turning red and his neck turning pale.

Nataranta siya nang makitang nahihirapan nang huminga si Greg.

"S-Sir… Sir, tama." Hinawakan niya ang braso ni Luciferus at pilit hinihila ito. Greg didn't even fought back but he's trying to catch his breath. Napapatigil na ang ibang estudyante para makiusisa sa nangyayari. "Sir, please, baka mapahamak ka pa."
