"What are you doing here? Kalian ka pa umuwi? Alam ba nilang nandito ka? Nakita ka ba ng mga media sa labas? Bakit ka nagpunta dito? May problema ba? ANO?" nakakaasar siya. Kanina pa ko tanong ng tanong sa kanya but he just keeps on smiling at me. There's that amusement shining in his eyes. Ni hindi ko na nga napansin na napalakas na pala boses ko dahil sa inis.

He patted my shoulder. "Hey. Don't need to shout." Then he gestured to keep silent at lumingon sa paligid. In which, I did followed. Fuck. All eyes are on us. There are even some who dared take pictures and videos. "Ayan." I heard him whispered before he grabbed my hand and drag me.

"Hoy! Where the hell are we going?" I asked him as keep with his pace. Damn those legs. Ang bilis niyang maglakad. Takbo na nga halos since ang daming sumusunod eh.

"I'll tell you later. Just shut up for now and keep running."

I don't know for how long we ran, but I found myself in the back of the school with him. Wala nang tao maliban samin. Well, me, him and a black car – Porsche to be exact. I know he owns it. But the question is, what are we doing here?

I watched him open the door of the shot gun seat while I tried catching my breath. Damn. Ang layo pala ng napuntahan naming kung tutuusin. But looking at him, I felt that it has no effect on him, well, yes, he's panting but not like me. Mas yung akin eh.

"Sakay." He demanded, still panting, as he opened the door next to him, which is yung door to the shotgun seat.

I raised my brow in response. Ano siya hilo? At saan naman kami pupunta? I compose myself, hands on hips. "I still have class, Dae. And where do you plan to take me?"

"I've already excused you." He said grinning at me like what he used to do when we're kids and he did something naughty. "Just get inside and you'll know."

I shook my head. "No."

He walked towards me. "Yes."

"No." I step back.

"Yes."

"I said – " but before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed me by the waist, lifted me, and carried me with me facing his back. Asar. "What are you doing? Ibaba mo ko. Damn it Dae! Put me down!"

I felt him slap my thigh. Kainis. Ang sakit nun. "Shh. Sa ingay mo may makakakita sakin." He said. "And sorry, ayaw mo kasing sumama ng maayos e. No choice." Then he deposited me inside, place the seatbelt even. "So, better keep quiet and relax."

After making sure I'm safe, he walked around to the driver's seat and started the engine. I just stare at him willing him to melt. He started driving to the exit I never knew existed. I look at him again, how did he know this way? Hindi naman siya taga-dito ah?

"Raph, stop looking at me like that." He joked. "If looks could kill, I bet I'll be dead."

I snorted. "How I wish it'll happen." I turned to him, arms crossed. "Now, answer me Damon. Where the hell are you taking me?"

He looked at me before looking back ahead to the road, though I didn't miss the smirk that was plastered on his face. "Let's say, we're running away."

I watch him talk to the staffs and assign this and that. I didn't bother listening or talking, kapag kasi siya ang nagsalita, kahit ako, nahihirapan sa kanya. What he wants, he gets. That's his personality and I'm a bit exhausted to try and persuade him and have a confrontation. Wala pa sa wisyo utak ko para makipagsagutan sa kanya. Isa pa, nandito na kami. Wala na rin akong magagawa.
