Darted Hearts

Once

Once

"So, you're Frau's Erza Scarlet huh?"

"Where do you think you're going?" Ani ng isang maputing babae na parang nakulangan sa tela dahil sa suot niyang nakakataeng tingnan. Matangos ang ilong niya, matangkad din at mas mataas pa sa Statue of Liberty ang pagkakaponytail ng buhok niya.

"Uuwi sa bahay namin, alangan namang sa inyo." Pang-aasar ko.

This is what I'm talking about, mas dadami ang maiinis sa akin but the hell I care. As if I'll give a damn about them.

"Stop bitching around Riya, what kind of love potion did you gave Frau? Like really? You're not even pretty."

"And you're ugly." Dugtong ko sa sinabi niya na mas kinainis niya.

Oh come on. Don't push my red button dear.

"Hah! Says the girl na walang ibang gawin kundi ang mang-akit! What a social climber! At ngayon na patay na patay na si Frau sayo? What's your next step sweetie?" Plastikang ngiti niya.

"Touché. Really? Buti ka pa alam mong ganyan na siya kapatay sakin, you've got a good research team there, stalker much? "

"Ang kapal talaga ng mukha mo!"

Akma niya akong sasampalin when I tightly held her wrist.

"Oh don't you even dare do that stunt dear. First of all, I'm really pissed right now you know that? Inaantok pa kasi ako eh, uuwi na sana ako ng bahay nang hinila mo ako bigla. Second, your act is almost perfect pero nakalimutan mong magpakilala, the heck I know about you and your damn name. Third, hindi makapal ang mukha ko where in fact, mas makapal pa make-up mo. And last, ang sakit ng tenga ko dahil sa nakakatanginang boses mo...."

Pilit niyang tinatanggal ang kamay niya sa pagkakahawak ko.

"Here's the tip, use your inside bark, female dog."

Tsaka ko padabog na binitawan ang kamay niya at tinalikuran siya.

Okay, that was mean. But this bitchness will over rule me when someone will push this darn button.

Bihira ko lang pinapakita tong side na to, I'm not pretending, bihira lang talaga ang taong may kayang palabasin tong klaseng ugali ko.

Papara na sana ako ng taxi nang biglang may humigit na naman sa kamay ko.

I was ready to slap that damn animal but stopped nang nakita kong si Frau pala iyon.

"Woah. Stop right there Scarlet, why are you blistering mad?"

"Stop mo mukha mo! Kasalanan mo 'to eh!" Paninisi ko sa kanya habang nakasimangot.

"Wait, let's go to my car first. Doon na tayo mag-usap." Tsaka niya ako hinila patungong sasakyan niya.

"So?" Panimula niyang tanong nang nakapasok na kami.

"So? So my ass! Don't act as if you don't know what happened. I know you've seen it in that fuckin' school cameras of yours." Irap ko.

Humalakhak siya.

"Now you find it funny? Really Frau?"

"Hey, hey, hey. Chill Scarlet, chill. Yeah, I saw it. The moment she grabbed your hand I was really ready to go out there but then lumaban ka eh. I kind of enjoyed it. You were so cute back there." Aniya sabay pwesto ng kamay niya para pangsangga sa mga sapak ko.

"Chill? How can I chill the fuck out kung araw-araw akong may pwedeng makabanggang kagaya nun? Tangina mo Frau! Ginagago mo ba ako ha!?" Patuloy pa rin ako sa pananapak sa kanya.
