Her Steps (GS #1)

Chapter 11

"Good morning!"

Damn it, I shouldn't have had coffee early in the morning. My heart almost jumped out of me.

Inangkla ni Tienn ang braso niya sa akin habang papasok ako ng gate ng university. Hindi na ako nagreklamo roon but I did give her a second look.

Why?

Because I was shocked. She's fvcking wearing our uniform. It's the first time I saw her wearing it. For the past few weeks, nakafreestyle lamang siya. Maybe because she's still a first year student.

"You're... wearing your uniform." And it's different. She's wearing the skirt a little shorter than usual, the first few buttons of her blouse were open, and her blazer was just on her other arm.

One word? Fvcking hot. Oh, that's two.

"Yeah, dumating na siya kanina pero it's weird medyo maliit siya sa'kin." She consciously fixes her uniform.

Maliit? It's perfectly fit... but not for a uniform.

I looked around as we walked and noticed some people looking at her. Wtf?

Inalis ko ang blazer ko pati na rin ang pagkakaangkla ng braso niya sa akin so I could tie my blazer around her hips at hindi umangat ang skirt niya sa likuran. Her ass is also blessed, okay?

"Jhie—,"

"Don't remove it. If I ever see you remove it, I'm not gonna talk to you ever." I glared at her and she pouted.

"OA, I'm just gonna say na I have my blazer naman, you don't have to use yours. Malamig sa rooms!" She said.

"It's okay." Sabi ko naman.

"Ahm, Jhie..."

"Hhmm?" I looked at her when I felt her arm again on mine, and her soft—marshmallows getting closer to me as well.

"Can I... eat with you during lunch?"

"Why?" She bit her lower lip.

"Okay." Hindi ko na siya hinintay sumagot at sumang-ayon na lamang din.

Lumawak ang ngiti niya at bigla akong hinalikan sa pisngi.

"You're the best!" Sabi nito bago tumakbo palayo.

I slowly touched my cheeks and unconsciously smiled before I realized... She wants to have lunch with me kasi alam niyang kasama kong maglunch si Ray. My smile faded.

Lunch came and there was no sight of Tienn.

"Ano be? Wala kang balak lumafang?" Kelon asked. Inirapan ko siya. Nakain na sila and I can't tell them I'm still waiting for someone, hindi ko rin alam kung bakit.

I grabbed my phone and composed a message.

Jhiezzel Kane Portuez
Where are you? What time's your lunch?

A few minutes later and there's still nothing. There was no sign of Tienn and there was no reply from Tienn.

"Restroom lang ako." Paalam ko.

When I went to the nearest restroom, it was locked. Kailan pa naglock ng restroom dito?

I was about to go away when I heard some noises inside.

"Oh c'mon, Jai, kaya ba hindi ka na sasabay sa amin? You found new friends? Sino ha? Sino?" A woman's voice was roaring inside.

I went closer to the door and I heard even soft sobs.

"Why aren't you answering Jai? Answer me!" Then I heard a slap.

"Stop... please." My eyes widened when I heard that soft whisper. It was a damn whisper but I clearly know who's the owner of that voice.

"Tienn..." I whispered.

I started banging the door. "Open the door!" I shouted.

They went silent inside but I still continued banging the door.

Someone opened the door a little.

"Hi! We're currently doing an experiment here so will you kindly use another restroom?" It sounded so fvcking sarcastic.

I held the door and forcefully opened it, the woman who opened it almost threw herself on the floor.

I roamed around to find Tienn but I couldn't see her. I started walking and forcefully opened the cubicle doors until I saw her lying beside the toilet, she's so wet with water, sweat, and tears. Her applied lipstick is ruined, her hair's in a very messy situation.

My sight darkened. I couldn't think straight.

I looked back on the three girls standing shocked near the door. I went near them.

"Aaaahhh!" Hinila ko ang buhok ng isa. Ito 'yung nagbukas ng pinto kanina.

Iniharap ko siya sa pader, still grabbing a handful of her hair.

"What have you fvcking done to her?" I gritted my teeth.

"W-wala—aahh!" Mas hinila ko ang buhok niya. Nanginginig ako sa galit.

"Jhiezzel... She's the 3rd year student Jhiezzel! 'Yung girlfriend ni Ray!" Sabi noong isa.

Tanga, hindi ko syota 'yon.

"She found new friends so we figured she doesn't want us to be friends anymore—!"

"You're fvcking doing this to your friend? Who'd want to be your friend?" Isa-isa ko silang binigyan ng nandidiring tingin.

"You, come here." Mabilis na lumapit sa akin ang isa pa nilang kaibigan.

Iniharap ko sa kaniya ang babaeng hawak ko.

"Slap her."

"H-ha?"

"Hindi mo 'ko narinig? I told you to slap her twice as hard as you did to Tienn!" And she did.

I started laughing sarcastically.

"You really did it to a friend. Wow." Napapailing iling na lamang ako.

"Now grab her hair." I instructed the woman I was holding by the hair.

Binitawan ko na siya at hinayaan siyang lapitan ang babaeng sumampal sa kaniya.

"She slapped you, now grab her hair." She did as she was told.

"Pull her to the cubicle where Tienn is." They were like toys and robots following my command.

"Ilublob mo."

"P-po?"

"What? Nabingi ka? Sabi ko, ilublob mo." I instructed.

"N-no, no, no—ahh!" And she did it again.

"Now apologize to Tienn."

They did not waste any second and immediately apologized to Tienn.

"I can do so much more than what you did to Tienn and your other friends but I don't want to fvcking touch dirty creatures anymore... but try to lay a finger on my girl once more and I won't even blink a second nor think twice of letting your shitty blood drip on my hands. Do you fvcking understand?" Mabilis tumango ang mga babae.

"Now get out and lock the door when you leave." And they did.

"Tienn..." I called her and pulled her up.

"Shh..." Her hands were fast to wrap around my waist tightly.

"Jhie... Jhie... Babalikan nila ko. B-babalikan nila ko."

"Shh, they will not. I'm here."

I kissed the top of her head as I caress the back of it.
