"WHAT'S UP?"
I tried to remain calm as I approach my brothers. Damn, they could've been roasted by now!
"It's nuts. I really miss Elvin." kuya Eliot said as he puffs from his cigar.
To a common observer, what kuya Eliot told me was nothing but a plain statement. But it's not. The first sentence means that what has occured was planned. We call those events 'nuts.' Because who on their right mind would burn our house aside from those people? The second sentence means that kuya Eliot thinks that they are also those who killed kuya Elvin.
"So, where are we gonna stay now?" I asked them. Our house was nothing but ashes now.
"Maybe an angel will take me in." kuya Elric grinned sheepishly. OMG.
"Well, I might just drown myself somewhere to get over with this." kuya Eliot shrugged like he doesn't care but the redness creeping up his cheeks told me where he wants to stay.
"How about you?" kuya Elric asked as they walked me to my room for my Political Science subject.
"I dunno. I might crash at some friends place."
"Call us, yeah? Love you." Then kuya Eliot kissed the top of my head.
"Back at yah. Take care." With one final hug they walked away towards their classrooms.
"Well, well, well," Just my luck, "Who do we have here? The slut councilor flirting in the hallway." Remember the two cafeteria girls? Those that picked a fight with me when I was supposed to eat lunch with Aither.
According to my sources the girl with the blonde pixie cut hair was named-well I forgot the name. Let's call her Ginger and her friend has a tan-gone-wrong so let's call her Bread. Tada! The GingerBread.
"Uh, excuse me? Whom did I flirt with now?" I don't remember seducing nor talking to anyone except my bros.
"Duh," Pinandilatan ako ni Ginger (medyo natawa ako dito), "Sila Eliot at Elric! Gosh, hindi ka talaga deserving sa kanila! Hindi mo nga alam kung sino sila eh."
Oh really?
"Okay. So who are they, then?" I squared my shoulders.
"Eliot Beauregard, BS Biology, pureblooded werewolf, and a brother of Elric Beauregard who takes up BS Math, also a pureblooded werewolf. They are also brothers to Elvin Beauregard who--"
"--passed away and who takes up BS Engineering." I interjected.
Ginger gasped, ang arte, "Stalker!"
"Wow, at talaga pang sa'yo nanggaling ah." I rolled my eyes heavenwards.
"Do you know who I am?" Because seriously, anyone who has common sense can figure that we are related. Gaano ba karami sa Pilipinas ang may apelyidong Beauregard?
"Should we?" Bread raised her thin eyebrow at me. As in, a hair strand thin eyebrow. Geez.
"Well, you are Spes Beauregard." Ginger shrugged, "What now?"
Goodness gracious. Paano sila nabuhay ng ganyan katagal ng walang common sense?
I entered the room without answering Ginger's question. Unfortunately, they are my classmates in this course. So they kept bugging me.
"Hey Spes, what's up?" Aither raised his right hand for a high five and I obliged.
I let out a deep sigh and told him, "I'm gonna die, surrounded by the most annoying idiots in the universe."
