Expect the Unexpected

Twenty-first Chance

GAVIN'S P.O.V:

"Ang tagal mo naman!" bungad sakin ni Althea. "I like that Harley girl." Napangiti sya sa sinabi ko. "Pretty isn't she?" sagot naman nya sakin with disgust. "This is new, Thea. It's obvious na ayaw mo talaga sa kanya." I earned her sarcastic laugh. "Oo naman. She left me, she killed my sister, and she coveted your brother from me." Nagtiim ang bagang ko. "Half-brother, Althea. Don't make me slap you again." I warned her. "Kelan mo ba ako pakakawalan dito?" Yes. Kinulong ko sya. I even chained her. "Soon, baby." I promised.

I prepared myself and so are my things. First day ngayon. And guess what? Blockmate ko si Harley Torres. Yes. And I heard Engineering ang kukunin ng magaling kong kapatid so, mas mahaba ang oras na kasama ko si Torres. I'll earn her trust and heart. I promise, Dad. I'll destroy the their family.

CHRYSTALLE'S P.O.V:

Sabi ni Daddy, sa university na namin kami magcollege. I can't say no. Why? Kasi pinayagan nya na daw ako na sa puder ni Harls, plus ung kay Nixon pa. Well, to be honest, di pa kami um-oo. Parang MU lang. Mutual Understanding lang. Ung alam naming mahal namin ung isa't-isa pero walang label. Kasi nga diba, ung nangyari. Pero ewan ko sa malalandi kong ka-members. "I hate first days. First day of school, first day of menstruation, etc." sabi ng Harley namin. Buti pa sigarilyo may filter, eto wala e. "Hey, bibig mo naman." Saway ni Trina. "Che. So, hiwa-hiwalay na?" Tanong ni Harls. Tango-tango naman kami. "So, see you sa lunch nalang?" tanong naman ni Trina at tumango ulit kami.

Iba-iba nga pala kami ng course. Harley sa PolSci, si Jaira sa Accountancy, si Trina sa Psychology, si Rhian sa Diplomacy (IDK bat pa naghiwalay ung dalawa, pareho namang IR), si Elaine sa Geology, si Aiko sa BrodComm, si Marielle sa Educ, si Veron at ako sa Tourism. Oh, diba? Layo-layo. Buti nalang magkasama kami ni Verone. Si Axel at Xeb, well, kasama ni Jaira. Si Harley nila plus Phoenix and Orion, Engineering, si Marcus at Kace naman Business Ad, Meanwhile Nixon and Zane kasama namin Verone. So, si Torres, Rhian, Trina, Elaine, Aiko, and Marielle ay totally alone. Saya diba? "Mauna na ako, guys. Ayoko malate." Sabi naman ni Harley. Hay. "So, umalis na si leader, what's next?" tanong naman ni Aiko. "Wala! Gora na tayo. Bye." Paalam ko at hinila ko na si Verone. Feeling ko malelate ung mga baklito e.

ALLAIKA'S P.O.V:

I was on my way to my room when a familiar voice called my attention. "Harley!" I smiled and turned around to see who the guy is but my smile faded the moment I saw who called me. "Gavin?" I frowned. "Are you not happy to see me? Yeah. I know Harley, my brother, is a very jealous person. But, at least pansinin mo lang ako sa klase. I just came back from Australia." Wala akong masabi kaya napatango nalang ako. Ngumiti naman siya saka ako inakbayan. Shit. Naiilang ako pero ayoko makasakit ng kalooban ngayon. Nagiging makata na ata ako. Nyemas. "Allaika." Shit. "Harley, bro! Guess what? We're blockmates!" tuwang sabi naman ni Gavin. Mukha namang mabait tong mokong na to. "Whatever, bastard. I need to talk to my GIRLFRIEND for few minutes." Sabi nya saka nya ako hinatak papunta sa locker room, I guess.

"Don't ever talk to him, baby. Okay?" He said. "Excuse me? Mukhang okay naman sya e." Nawiwirduhan na talaga ako dito. "Just.Promise.Me." Sabi nya ng may diin. "But, Keith, blockmate ko sya." I said. "No. Still no." Wow ah. "Keith, imposible naman kasi yang sina---." Naputol ung sasabihin ko nang halikan nya ako. "Fuck! I said no! No!" ARGH! "How adorable that you keep on thinking hawak mo ko sa leeg, Keith. Papansinin ko kung sino ang gusto kong pansinin. Kakaibiganin ko kung sino ang gusto kong kaibiganin. Please, give me space, Keith. Nakakasakal ka." Nababanas pa ako. Sama mo pa na meron ako, kaya irritable ako. "I deserve that. I'm sorry, baby. I just want you safe." He softened. "Argh. Just go away." Masakit na kasi puson ko. Punyeta! Napakunot sya ng noo. "What's wrong? Dysmenorrhea? Do you want me to send you home?" Wow ah. "No. Pero pakisamahan muna ako sa clinic, kuha ako gamot." And he obliged. Dinala nya gamit ko tas akay-akay nya rin ako. Ideal boyfriend.
