REN and The Heartless Devil

CHAPTER XLV

I was smiling as I walked towards Grae and Nicolo. "Ang galing mo Ate Ren!" Anna suddenly came to may view blocking me from going to where Grae was.

"Thank you." Nakangiti ko namang sagot sa kanya.

"Tss masyadong pasikat. If I know sinadya nyang magpahulog para sagipin sya ni Grae." Sandra and her friends were on my left and they are shooting dagger looks at me. I did not talk because obviously she's really not worth a single word from me. "What? Tama ako diba kaya hindi ka makasagot?" She was grinning triumphantly at me while I just look at her with complete boredom.

"Padaanin mo na kami Ate Sandra ayaw namin ng gulo."

"Pwede kanang dumaan Anna walang pumipigil sayo pero hindi ang babaeng ito. Kung makaasta akala mo kung sino." Her glare never leaves my face as she spoke to Anna.

"Ano na namang kaartehan to Sandra?" We all look at Vince na akay-akay ni Bryan. Disgust is very visible in his eyes.

"Wala kanang pakialam dun! Isa pa wag mo nga akong kausapin pareho kayo ng babaeng ito na nagmamagaling when in fact mga weak naman kayo." Nakasinghal na sigaw nito kay Vince.

"Kaysa naman sayo nagmamaganda hipon naman. Kung hindi dahil sa katawan mo iwan ko lang kung may papasnin sayo." The rest of the team laughs kahit si Anna nagpipigil din ng tawa. Sandra is now turning tomato red from embarrassment.

"Shut up!" Bumaling naman ito sa akin. "Ikaw baka gusto mo ding tumawa." A self-satisfied smirk escaped my lips. Maybe she had enough humiliation for tonight so she chose to resort to violence. But her slap did not reach my face when Grae stopped her.

"Lay a hand on her and I will kill you." Fear crept on her face instantly. She stumbled down as Grae strongly shove her hand. "Let's go." He grabbed my hand and we walk side by side to where the jeepy was park."Why did you not defend yourself?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "She's not worth it."

"Did you have fun?" We are both leaned our back on the car while waiting for the others.

"Hmm. I did." I am looking at the sky that's full of stars when I said that but I still can feel his eyes glued on me. I followed the urge to look at him and his lips tug into a smile as our eyes meet.

"Zeke bukas nalang daw tayo magcecelebrate kina Vince." It was Nicolo who broke the silence between the two of us.

"Okay lang wala din namang pamalit na damit ang isang 'to." I scowled on how he address me but he just gave me a grin in return. Jerk!

We bid goodbye to the team at umuwi na din kami kaagad. We are already halfway when suddenly two pick-ups block our way. I look at Grae and he was also looking at me, he nodded and I did the same. Then my eyes landed to Anna at buti nalang tulog na sya now our only problem is Nicolo.

"Wait lang Zeke." He was alarmed when Grae ease out from the car. "Ren anong ginagawa mo? Wag kang bumaba!"
