Agad kong sinalubong ng sapak si Lucian.
"How dare you! Bakit nayon lang kayo nagparamdam! Screw you! Curse you! Hate you!" Saad ko habang hinihimas ang kamao ko. At sya namang pag tayo ni Lucian.
"Mo'fucka! Is that your new way of welcoming me here? How awesome of you." Saad nito at ini-spread ang kamay. "Won't you give me a flying hug, too?" Saad nito.
"Flying knee kick is my new masterpiece, won't give it a try?" Saad ko at saka lumapit upang tanggapin ang alok ni Lucian. The hug kept a little bit longer until he breaks the silence.
"Nag-paalam nako sa opisina, I will spend 1 night here with you." I quickly broke the hug with him, and jump in grace. Wow! I didn't expected this. Matapos ang batian we head our way on the room. Half on our way, nasagi ng kaliwang paa ko ang isang phone which is sa tingin ko ay pag-aari ng kung sinong estudyante and accidentally dropped it nang hindi manlang napapansin. Pasimple ko itong pinulot at inilagay sa inner pocket ng jacket ko. Good thing at hindi iyon napansin ka-agad ni Lucian.
Nang marating ang dorm room na tinutuluyan ko ay agad kong binuksan ang pinto at bumungad sakin sina Claire, Cassey at Maggy na busy sa pagbabasa ng mga libro. "Oh, hi female nerds. Today, I'll be your hottie sub-professor." Saad nito saka sumunod sa'kin at pinitanong nya ang backpack na dala nya sa kama ko. "Hey girls, this is my boy friend. Lucian. You can't talk to him if you want to. But I prefer you shouldn't, first because he's my boy. And second, you would hate it to taste his arrogance." Saad ko saka kumuha ng pamalit sa drawer. Classes are done at this time, at isa pa, kung meron pa man, I surely will not attend it, lalu't narito si Lucian.
"Wow, Vernice. Hindi mo naman nasabing may boyfriend ka. So. How does it feel to have a relationship?" Panimula ni Maggy.
"I said 'Boy friend' there's a space between the boy-- and the friend. Lalaking kaibigan, Maggy." Saad ko saka kumuha ng bathrobe at tuwalya at saka dumeretso sa banyo--- Shit. May tahi nga pala ako sa wrist. And so I decided na lumabas nalang, pero bago iyon ay hinubad ko muna ang jacket ko, which reveals my fitted sleeveless tops, that enhances my curvaceous body. And to my surprise, naabutan kong nagtatawanan sina Lucian, Maggy, Claire at Cassey.
"Did you gave them candies?" Sarcastiko kong tanong. Oh, candies. Hell yeah, para sa tatlong binatilyong kasa-kasama ko noon (Lucian, Travis, Inigo) iba ang meaning ng candies, for us, it was the drugs.
"Oh, I won't. I can't ruin the lives of these three girls which seems to have the brightest future. And what's with your left wrist? Who did that?" Oh shoot.
"I get fucked up, kanina sa isang student riot sa grass field." Saad ko saka humiga sa kama ko at sinimulang kalikutin ang cellphone na napulot ko. Halata sa pisikal na anyo ng bagay nito ang pagiging maalaga ng tunay na nagmamay-ari, at pagiging mayaman..
I first checked the gallery. I was shocked when I saw the pics. Remember the girl that bumped into from my first day lunch here? Sya yun. Mostly, mga stolen pictures nya. She must be the owner of this. Pero pano nya nakuhanan ang sarili nya ng stolen? Uh, whatever. Sunod kong tinignan ang messages.
Wow, There are only 6 names enlisted.
Samantha, Bruce, Lucas, Yakuza Negotiator, Emmanuel, Tyson.
Well, me I got almost fifty contact names, but this one? Boring. But wait, Samantha? Sya yung tinutukoy kong may ari ng phone na ito. She's texting herself, then? Oh, stop being stupid, Vernice. It's not her's. Bruce? Lucas? My gosh, don't tell me this is Sebastian's? Shit. And--- And... Yakuza negotiator? As far as I know, yakusa is some kind of---- japanese mafia, and something. Shit.
We spent a least hours bago pa man tumunog ang bell. It's dinner time.
"What is that sound? Sign of an earthquake drill?" Napa-irap na lamang ako sa pinag-sasabi ni Lucian. Kahit na sya ang pinaka-matalino samin ay sya rin ang syang pinaka-mukhang tanga.
"Stop your idiocy, Lucian. Unless that will get me out o' here. I well let you do that." Saad ko saka mulig isinalpak ang earphones saking mga tenga.
Nag-paalam na Ang tatlo kasama narin si Lucian. They seemed to be so close with Lucian, how I wonder, pano kaya kung crush nila ang lalakeng iyon. Oh, that would be perfect, I could use Lucian para maging slave sila.
When suddenly, a musicfilled the whole room. It was from sebastian's phone. Nice ringtone anyway. A Love like a war by All Time low.
*Lucas Calling.
I was about to end it ng biglang yung green ang napindot ko. Shit, I wanna punch myself to death. Pinairal ko nanaman ang katangahan ko. Shit Shit.
"Whoever the fuck you are, I will find you and I will turn you into ash if you don't return my phone." At saka nito enend ang tawag. Shit, shit, shit. Motherfucking shit.
It seems like I just seek for death schedule. Yeah, I felt a chills of death the time he spoke on the other line. And I know, it's not Lucas. It's Sebastian. And It's creepin' me out. He's scaring the little devilish monster inside me. And--- and it's fuckin---- Okay, stop. Relax, Vernice. It's just a death threat. Marami ka nang natanggap na ganyan nuon. So, get used to it.
Bago pa man ako mag-self destruct ay napag-desisyonan kong bumaba narin upang mag dinner. Bago paman ako tuluyang maka-labas sa dormitoryo ay may humaltak sa left wrist ko. Shit, I can feel the lust in pleasure of killing.
"Bitch, give me my fucking phone back." I froze. I could even feel the death in his tone.
"Only... If you let go of my damn motherfucking arm, fucker." I respond. Ngunit hindi ako nito sinunod. I'm trying hard not to react with the pain that I'm feeling because of the much pressure caused by this shitty guy.
"Oh, no one dares to talk to me like you do." I smirked, To my surprise, he pinned me to the wall.
"It must be a world record, mafia man! Anyways, nice way of romance, huh." Ramdam kong mas lalong humigpit ang pagkaka-hawak ng nilalang na ito sa pulso ko. Shit, yung tahi ko!
"Bitch, careful with your dirty mouth." I looked into his--- Enchantingly cold, but deep, brown, deadly and mysterious eyes. I even noticed that bridge perfectly attached into his pointy nose, even that rosy lips and traceable jawlines---- fuck, Vernice! Stop adoring enemies! Wait, enemies? Where did I get that?
"Here's you phone, asshole..." Sagot ko saka ini-abot ang kaylangan nya. "Next time, be careful. And don't ever go in the girls dormitory, you have yours. And try to learn how to encrypt password, that would be perfect." Saad ko bago paman tuloyang bawiin ang kamay ko at saka tumakbo palayo at papunta sa cafeteria.
"No one tells me what to do." Yan ang huli kong narinig bago tuluyang maka-layo.
Agad akong pumasok sa cafeteria na tila ba walang iniindang kirot mula sa sugat na hindi pa naghihilom. It fucking hurts!
Habang patungo kina Claire ang naaninag ng peripheral vission ko sina lucas na naka-sunod ng tingin sakin. Hate it when gaining people's attention.
"Uh, V-Vernice, your wound is bleeding."
Shit, I swear, I will kill that little Sebastian as soon as I cope up with this one.
