Under The Red Hood

Scynthia's PoV

The past few days after the whole announcement lagi na ako binibigyan ni Nash ng bulaklak, sabi niya kasi para kahit papaano mahulog raw yung loob namin sa isat isa pumayag naman ako doon.

But as the days pass the more I think what would happen if me and Nash get married, magiging masaya kaya ako? O hindi? What if may iba akong magustohan? What if may ibang gusto si Nash? What if maging kami nga? Ang daming what ifs sa isip ko, I just want to know what would happen. Maybe I could get along with him, or maybe we just end up as Best Friends. This is a very complicated mess!

My thoughts we disturbed when the bell rang for lunch time. I collected my things then went out of the room, and like the past few days inaabangan ako ni Nash sa canteen habang may dalang bulaklak and as usual tinatanggap ko ito at ngumingiti sa kanya.

I would just sit there quietly eating while listening to their converstions while I think of a lot of stuff in my head.

"Rose! Hindi ikaw si Lex!" Sabi bigla ni January. "What?" Tanong ko sabay harap sa kanya.

"Nawala lang si Lex ng sandali ikaw naman pumalit sa pagiging tahimik niya, what's going on with you!?" Tanong ni January. "Wala, marami lang iniisip." Sabi ko.

"Like?" Tanong ni Kendal. "The future." Sabi ko.

"Whatever... nga pala Rose sasama ka saamin mamaya?" Tanong ni Kendal. "Saan?" Tanong ko.

"Sa airport, susunduin namin si Lex." Sabi ni Ice. "Sure game ako diyan!" Sabi ko sabay ngiti.

*****

Sinundo na namin kahapon si Lex kaso hindi kami nakapagusap sa kanya dahil mukha siyang galit sa mundo kaya tahimik nalang kami habang sinundo siya.

Ngayon naman yung bunutan namin para sa Christmas Party Exchange Gift namin.

"Okay Class, what I want you all to do is get a one eighth sized paper and write your code name, gender, and your top three wish list. After writing it all roll it up and put it in this box." Sabi ni ma'am.

Sa mabuting palad ngayon walang absent sa class namin, pero sa masamang palad sasali sa ma'am sasali sa exchange gift namin. Sana hindi siya yung makabunot saakin at hindi siya yung mabunot ko.

Yes! I got January!

Everyone looked happy at what they got. Sana kilala ko yung nakakuha saakin.

When lunch time came the usual flowers for me and we sat down. "Guys sino nakuha niyo?" Tanong ni Ice. "Saakin Jumble Bee yung pangalan babae, I think it's Stacy." Sabi ni January.

"Saakin King Dom, male." Sabi ni Kendal. "Kilala ko yan, si Dominic Francisco yan." Sabi ko.

"Thanks Rose." Sabi ni Kendal. "Saakin Dicipline Is Win female... at sa tingin ko si ma'am yun dahil sa wish list niya." Sabi ni Ice.

"I got Matrix, male. I know who it is..." sabi ni Lex. "Sino?" Tanong ni Ice.

"Si Jason, I know it's him because he has a crush on The Matrix." Sabi ni Lex. "Really now?" I said.

Jason has a crush on The Matrix but hates Alexandra's guts... what an ass right?

"Ikaw Rose sino nakuha mo?" Tanong ni January. "Someone named flaming dragon, male." Sabi ko.

That code name was from Jexter, he sits infront of me causing me to have a glimps of his paper.

"Kay Jexter yan! Obvious." Sabi ni Ice. "I know." I said.

I can't say I got January's paper, she might bug me.

"Eh ikaw Charles, sino sayo?" Tanong ni Kendal. "I got someone named Red Hood but it was a male." Sabi ni Nash.

"I think I know who that is." Sabi ko. "Sino?" Tanong ni Nash.

"Can I see his writing first?" Binigay niya saakin yung papel. "Yup kilala ko, kay Dexter yan." I said.

"Paano mo nasabi?" Tanong ni Nash... fucking idiot, why did you say that! "I heard he dated someone named like that, so I guess he wanted to name it like that." Sabi ko.

"Maybe." Sabi ni Nash. "You know what, I have an Idea." Sabi ni January.

"What?" Tanong ko. "Punta tayo sa Edge mamaya, I'm curious how it looks like." Sabi ni January.

I glared at her and she just gave me a playful smirk.

"Why not, but I don't know about Scynthia, she might get hurt just staying there." With what Nash said I wanted to knock his block off. "Are you calling me weak?" I asked him as I stood up and gave him a challenging look.

"Woah, Rose cool down no one said that." Ice said, I glared at Ice. "No, I just thought because you don't fight." Nash said totally ignoring Ice.

I was fuming in anger... how dare he call me weak, even indirectly...

"So you're calling me weak? Is that it?" I asked glaring at him. "No! No! Not at all!" He raised his arms in surrender.

"Good, because I don't like people calling me weak, understand?" I said in a cold husky voice, he nodded in fear. "Good." I said then sat down.

"Pupunta tayo hindi?" Tanong ni Lex. "We will go." Sabi ko.

"I heard they don't let kids get in there." Sabi ni Kendal. "We are not kids, plus we can wear a mask." Sabi ni Nash.

"Where do we get masks?" Tanong ni January. "Leave it to me." Sabi Nash sabay ngisi.

After classes Nash went to our room holding a bunch of masks according to the names we gave him.

January had a ninja mask style, Kendal had a mask only covering the left side of his face that looked like a banana, Ice had a full mask that was themed with snow, Lex had a mask only covering her eyes that symbolizes a snow flake, and mine was also a mask red half mask like the one I use when I'm red but this one had feathers that looked like it was burning the whole mask.

"Charles this is awesome!" Sabi ni January na suot suot na yung mask.

All of them were wearing theirs except for me I was just holding it with my hands while staring at it...

If I wear it he might find out I'm Red... because technically the mask was like my original one, he might familliarize my eyes and other features... this is wrong... I should have backed out when I still had a chance...

"Rose, what's wrong?" Tanong ni Nash sabay lapit saakin. "Nothing." Sabi ko.

He got the mask from my hands. "Here let me help you." He was the one who put it on me.

I looked away from him avoiding my gaze with his, ayokong malaman niya na ako si Red.

"Tara?" Tanong ni January. "Let's go in." Sabi ni Lex.

Kanina pa kami nandito sa labas ng Edge dahil saakin, ayoko pa kasing suoting yung mask dahil sa takot... but now I have no other choice... nagbihis din kami bago pumunta dito, well that would be strange wearing a uniform to a fight club.

It's now or never...
