The Perfect Girl

Chapter Forty Six

Kazumi's POV.

Another week has started.

And another shit, has happened.

"Oh my god." I heard a girl said.

'What happened?' I asked myself.

And because of curiousity, I went near the group of people at nakisiksik.

"Excuse me," I said. "Excuse me," I said again. And atlast, nakarating na rin ako sa harap.

But then, nag-sisi lang ako.

Ang sumalubong sakin? Isang malansang-malansang hayop na kinatay, na ang baho-baho, ngunit parang bagong patay lang, dahil, fresh pa ang dugo.

Kawawang hayop. Pati ito, dinamay.

Ngunit, may nakita akong isang kulay pulang papel, na napakapamilyar. Kaya, lumapit ako para kunin ito. Kahit nakakadiri, kinuha ko parin ito at binasa, "Humanda na kayo, malapit na kaming mag-higanti." Tumingin ako sa paligid ko, sa tingin ko kasi eh, ay may nakamasid saakin.

Until, a person caught my eyes. "Jaz?" I whispered. Lumapit ako sa babaeng iyon, ng nakangiti. Na nakangiti rin saakin. "Jaz?!" I said, nang makalapit ako sakanya.

"Black!" She called me. My smile got wider. "I missed you, Jaz," I said, as I hugged her. "Me myself, missed you too, Black!"

"Buti naman, and you already recovered. . . By the way, how was life?" I asked while smiling.

"Fine, since the day of your confrontation, to Ate Coleen," she said, while smiling wider than the usual, which made me curious of what happened, or if there was something that happened, but I didn't know.

"Something's on. What's up? Di ka na nag-kwekwento, ah? We lost communications for months already, kaya, what's up?" I asked, almost teasing.

"Oh. Nothing, it was just. . ." She looked nervious, so something's really up.

"Just. . . . . ?" I waited for her to answer. "Just, I met a guy named Jade, and. . ." She stopped, as if like, she was imagining something, something that is memorable.

"Hmm. . . You seem like, you're really happy, huh? Inlove?" I teased, which made her cheeks red as an apple. I giggled.

"Maybe I am," she said. I can't help but to smile. She really seems to be happy, really. I wonder what has happened?

"What really happened ba? Tsaka, you know, you're now speaking fluently in english."

"Yeah." And dahil wala na akong matopic, yun ang naging topic namin. How boring, right? Well, our conversation was ruined by the bell, so nag-paalam na ako sakanya, I said "take care", she just nodded and then we parted ways.

She said, she was just here to visit us. Di namin napag-usapan yung tungkol about, me and the mafia thing.

Di ko iyon pwedeng sabihin sakanya, knowing her, mag pupumilit 'yun na pumasok ulit sa gangster world and that thought is dangerous for her sake.

We don't want that incident to happen again. She's like an emerald, she needs to be taken care of and watch over.

I wouldn't agree about her being a gangster again, dahil, makakasama ito sakanya. We want her to be sa normal being, no death threats or anything, just a normal life, a normal life with her family.

I promised my self, na if bumalik na rito si Jaz, is hindi ako makakapayag na pumasok ulit siya sa mundo namin. I can control her live. I can control the life of others, only if I want to.

But nahh, bat ba yun ang topic natin? Well, change topic na tayo.

Kasalukuyan kaming nagka-klase, and our teacher is calling us, one by one, to answer his questions. Math time kaya chicken lang ito.

"Okay, Ms. Coldsmith, what is the answer for 'x squared plus forteen plus forty nine is equals to?'" he asked.

Tss. Basics.

"The answer is 'x plus seven and x plus seven [(x + 7)(x +7)]'" I answered. "Thanks Ms. Coldsmith, you may take your seat now," he said as I sat down. Sabi niya eh. And the lesson continued. Until, the bell rang.

Recess time.

I was walking at the ramp, ng may humila sa uniform ko. Yes, as in hila. I faced the person kung sino man yun ng naka-kunot noo. Siya kaya hilain ko, noh?

"What's wrong with you?!" I said, sounding pissed. As I faced the person who pulled me. "Easy," she said. Nabigla naman ako kung sino iyon. Si Ella lang pala.

Nakita ko siyang nag-smirk, what's wrong with her?

"Bakit mo pala ako hinihila?" I asked, sabay ayos ko sa uniform kong nakagusot dahil nga sa pag-hila saakin ni Ella. "Wala," sabi niya, napa-kunot noo naman ako.

Wala?! Tapos hihilain niya ako na para bang may nangyari?! Tss.

"Wala?! Yung totoo?!" Inis kong sabi, sino ba namang maiinis, diba? "Basta, sumama ka na lang saakin!" she said, habang hinihila ako.

"Okay, okay. Just get your f-cking hands off me. It hurts," I said. Her grip was too thight kasi eh. "Sorry. Didn't know you were sensitive as f-ck," she said, while laughing her a-s off. Tawang-tawa siya, noh? Not the usual her. Napairap naman ako.

"Shut up. Not now please," I said, sounding still pissed. Eh sa may dalaw ako eh.

Be careful if you guys still want to live. I can kill a-ses if I want to. Lalong-lalo na ngayon, I'm being short-tempered every time my menstruation week comes.

"May dalaw ka?" she asked. Boom! Nakuha niya. "Di ba obvious?" Pambabara ko sakanya. Natawa naman siya. What's really wrong with her?! I'm getting more pissed. Kasi the way she acts right now, is really unusual.

"Wait, wait!" She stopped, so I also stopped. "Ano nanaman?!"

"Wala. Check mo locker mo!" Thats when I realized, nasa harap na pala kami ng locker. "Bakit?" Tanong ko na nag-tataka. "Basta. May nakita kasi akong tao kanina na nakabukas ng locker mo. May nilagay siguro. . ." She said. Kaya agad kong binuksan ang locker ko. And what did I got? A box. And ang laman? Blood, may kasamang letter, so I read it. "Beware. Mag-handa na kayo," I read it.

"O my ghad," sabi ni Ella, napatingin naman ako sakanya na nag-tataka. "Bakit?" tanong ko. Umiling-iling siya.

"Wala naman. I also got like that nung time na I saw the person put that on your locker. . ."

"Hindi kaya?" We both said.
