That Infamous Girl

19

Para akong batang nahuling may ginagawang masama. I didn't do anything stupid, but when I saw Van, I felt like I did something forbidden. Mabilis ko nahampas ang kamay ni Kian ng matauhan ako.

Just, what the hell am I doing with this devil?

Kian was staring at me, with a smiling face. Okay. I'm done. I stood up and was about to leave when I heard the devil spoke, "Aww. Ganyan ka ba talaga? Mananakit ka lang, tapos bigla bigla ka nalang mang-iiwan?" Madramang sabi nito as he touched the hand na hinampas ko. 

"What the fuck?" Wala sa sarili kong sagot. "Ano sinasabi mo?" Sinamaan ko ito ng tingin ngunit nakangiti lamang ito. Bakit pakiramdam ko dalawa ang ibig niyang sabihin sa sinabi niya?

"Nakalimutan mo agad? Ang bilis mo naman makalimot." Ano ba problema talaga ng lalaking 'to? Seryoso. Wala akong ideya sa mga sinasabi ng demonyong 'to. Ngumiti pa lalo ito ng malawak ng titigan ko ito.

"Anong ngiti yan? Ginagago mo ba ko?" I said as I narrowed my eyes towards him. But, if he was telling me this because he treated me for breakfast, then, "Thanks, for this." I said while pointing on my empty plate with a blank face.

"No problem, Mimi." He said as he winked.

"What?" I said.

"I said, no problem."

"No, the latter, the name you called me." I said coldly.

"Mimi?" He said and smirked. "It came from your name, Yumi. Mimi. Did you like it?"

"For pete's sake." I said as I glared at him. "Drop it." Ang daming alam ha.

"Oh, you didn't like it? How about babe?" I felt my cheeks heat up at nakuyom ko ang kamao ko. He really like seeing me pissed. 

"Just drop the nicknames or I'll kill you." I replied seriously just enough for him to hear. He was really getting into my nerves. I gritted my teeth.

"You'll kill me in what? Pleasure?" Kinindatan ako nito. "I'd love to." He said as he smirked.

"Fuck off Kian. Fuck off!" Singhal ko dito as I felt my nails digging on palm. Anong bang problema ng nilalang na 'to?

"How about, you replace 'off' by 'me'?" He said as he smiled seductively. "I'd love to hear you say Fuck me Ki--"

Utang na loob!

Kung nakakamatay lang ang tingin kanina pa siyang patay.

I mentally counted one to ten to calm my shit together. I've been controlling my temper, dahil kung hindi, baka masapak ko na 'to.

Inilapit ko ng kauntian ang mukha ko sa kanya at hinigit siya patayo. He was taller than me so I don't have a choice but to look up. I couldn't help it but to stare at his face. Damn it. Kung bakit ba kasi nabiyayaan ang lalaking 'to. I bit my lip at napansin kong nanlalaki pa ang mata nitong nakatingin sa akin ng mapatigil sa pagsasalita ngunit ngumisi rin ito.

"Enjoying the distance between us?" I said while glaring at him ngunit ramdam ko ang pamumula ng pisngi ko. 

"Yes." He answered.

"Really. ." I moved my face closer to him making his smile grew wider. I smirked. "Then you deserve this."

I immediately bumped my head towards his forehead kasabay ng pagbitaw ko sa collar niya.

"What the hell!" He cursed.

"Dumbass." I said.

Déjà vu.

Nangyari na 'to. Ganitong ganito yung nangyari sa ball sa silver hall when he dragged me in the middle of the crowd and the lights went off and later, I found myself dancing with him.

I silently heaved a sigh before throwing out my words. "The next time you piss the hell in me, I'll skin you alive." I said dangerously and walked out the cafeteria.

But before I could actually went out, narinig ko pa itong tumawa. "See you later babe!" He shouted between his laughs.

Goddammit. Pikon na ko. Naiinis na ako. But why does that demon sound so good while laughing?

I suddenly brushed my left hand over my face ng wala na kong nagawa dahil natatanga sa mga naiisip ko. This is stupid. I seriously think I need some rest. Stress lang 'to. Ugh.

Naglakad na lamang ako sa kinaroroonan ni Van at nagsimula na kaming maglakad. Wala pa rin kaming imik. Marahil siguro nakikiramdam din siya mood ko. Alam naman kasi niya ang ugali ko naiinis ako.

"Where were you last night?" He said, starting the conversation.

"What is it to you?" Gahd. Di ko alam kung bakit ganito ang lumabas sa bibig ko. But, i'm usually like this so what is it to me? I mentally face-palmed.

"Nag-alala kami sayo. Hindi ka sumasagot sa mga texts at tawag namin."

I sighed as we continue to walk. "I was given another mission last night."

"Talaga?" Napakunot noo ko sa tono ng pananalita nito. What? Hindi siya naniniwala?

"You don't sound convinced." I stated. "Do you want me to explain to you the details?" I asked sarcastically. Hindi ito sumagot at nang tumingin ako dito ay bigla naman itong nagtanong..

"Bakit kayo magkasama kanina?" Pag-iiba nito ng tanong.

"Who? Kian?" Tanong habang pasakay na kami ng elevator papunta sa classroom namin. "I don't know."

"Anong di mo alam? Magkasama kayo." He said as a matter-of-factly while his eyebrows were slightly frowned.

"Malay ko." Hindi ko naman talaga alam bigla nalang yung sumulpot. Iniwan ko nga sa parking area, namalayan ko nalang nagalakad na katabi ko."

"Paano nangyari yon?"

"Di ko alam." I replied shortly. Dami tanong ah. Kairita.

"Wala ka na bang ibang maiisagot kung hindi iyan?" K.

"Wala ka na bang ibang maiitanong kung hindi puro ganyan?" Balik kong tanong sa kanya.

"Ano ba nangyayari sayo? Why are you acting like this?" Anak ng. Ano ba ginawa ko? Naiinis na ko.

"Acting like, what?" Tanong ko ng medyo tumataas ang boses ko.

"This?" Damn it!

"I'm not fucking acting." Napapikit ako to calm nerves. This is so frustrating. "Nag-aaway ba tayo?" Tanong ko.

"No. You're acting immature." He said habang nailing pa. Ako pa ngayon?

"No i'm not." Ano ba ginawa ko? Kanina pa umaga mainit ulo ko, wag na niya dagdagan. Badtrip ako. Please lang.

"Yes you are." He said. Napabuntong hininga ako habang humigpit ang hawak ko sa magkabilang strap ng backpack ko.

"Then, what is to you? Why do you care?" I asked coldly habang natahimik naman siya sa kinatatayuan niya. He looked surprised. "Who are you anyway?" I paused, and stepped outside the elevator, "You're not even my boyfriend, so stop acting like a jealous one." I added as I made my way to our classroom.

Naiwan siya sa loob ng elevator ngunit maya-maya pa ay narinig ko na ang mga yapak niya. Tumigil ito sa harapan ko kaya't napaangat ang tingin ko because he was blocking my way.

He stared at my eyes.

And for a moment, nalunod na naman ako sa abo niyang mga mata..

"Yes, I'm not, but soon. I'll call you mine."
