Torn Between Choices

Chapter 1: Worst Nightmare

AZUMI's POV

It's me, Hana Azumi Imperial. A half Japanese and Filipina. If you're wondering about what my age is, then I'm 16 years old. It's my first day here in Bateson University as 'Azumi Alfonso', and a transferee. I transfered here for just one reason, and that is to spy on them. The faculty and staffs of this university and those people who are somehow connected with the murder case of my best friend... Ang dahilan kung bakit maraming inosente ang nadadamay na para lang sa pampersonal nilang layunin. But just to clear things up, I'm here to avenge my innocent bestfriend.

Nandito ako ngayon sa cafeteria. Wala akong kasama since bago pa lang ako dito at walang kakilala. I'm not planning to be friends with anyone though. I prefer being alone. It's better that way para walang madamay sa plano ko.

I looked at the place. There's nothing suspicious about the place and the students. I wonder if they know what kind of school they are in. I looked at the other side of the cafeteria when I heard sobs. Tsk. Marami rin palang bully dito. Pinaka-ayoko pa naman sa lahat ay 'yan. Bullies. I looked at the nerd they are bullying. I felt a little pity for her. I just looked at them. Wala akong planong makisali sa away nila. Three bullies? Oh they're coward. Three against one? That's absurd.

"I told you before, magtransfer ka na 'cause I don't want to see your ugly face! But you chose to disobey me! Well, this is what you get. Pinakaayoko pa naman ay 'yung ayaw sumunod sa gusto ko!" sabi 'nung maarteng babae dun sa nerd. And she slapped the nerd straight on her left cheek.

"S-sorry miss Rachelle.." sabi 'nung nerd na umiiyak na.

"Sorry? No dear, I don't accept apologies. Not from you!"
Psh. Akala mo naman kung sino. Ugh! Such a bitch.

"P-pero--" magsasalita pa sana 'yung nerd kaso pinutol na 'nung Rachelle yung sasabihin nito.

"Shut up!" sabi nito tsaka umirap.

"Girls? You know what to do." baling nito sa dalawang alipores niya at umupo sa stool para panuorin yung scene.

"Sure, Rachelle!" sabi ng isa at ngumisi. Lumapit yung dalawa dun sa nerd then pinagsasampal at pinagsisipa hanggang matumba sa sahig.

The hell?! Tao ba 'tong mga 'to? Paano nila nagagawang manakit ng inosenteng katulad nito? I looked at the nerd who is crying right now. Then it hit me. I remembered it again. The pain and anger inside me was awakened by this scene and it triggered me to burst out. I clenched my fist. This is against the rights of anyone as a person!

Hindi ko namalayan na tumayo na pala ako at pumunta sa harapan nila. I glared at them and looked at the nerd. Napatigil naman sila sa ginagawa nila at napatingin sakin. Even Rachelle who is sitting at one side suddenly stood up and walked towards us with her evil smirk.

"Playing like a hero, huh." she said but I ignored her. Instead, I helped the nerd to stand.

"Let's go." sabi ko  at hinila siya.

Tumalikod na kami ni nerd and we're about to leave when the bitch spoke.

"Stop there, both of you! Kung ayaw n'yong mas saktan ka pa namin, at ang epal na babaeng yan!" galit na sabi nito. Well maybe she hates people who go against her. But I don't care. I didn't let the nerd behind me stop walking.

"I said, stop!" she yelled and grabbed my wrist. How dare she! Tinanggal ko ang pagkakahawak niya sa wrist ko and faced her with my usual blank face.

"Why don't you just let us leave and stop this nonsense act?" I said calmly.

"It's none of your business! Now, give that nerd to us and you can leave." she said and smirked.

"Tss. There's no way I'll be following a bitch's order." I said and smirked. I'm just returning the favor. We're even.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Rachelle dahil sa sinabi ko. So, she hates to be called 'bitch'? Tss. It suits her anyway.

"How dare you! No one has ever called me that way!" she said and by just merely looking at her you can say she's really mad right now.

"Well, thanks for the info." I said and gave her a smirk that made her even more reddish because of anger and annoyance.

"You don't know who you're messing with!" she shouted. Marami na rin ang taong nakikiusyoso sa paligid.
Damn! I hate attention! I'll give this bitch what she wants. Tss.

"Of course, I know you. Rachelle, the bitch in this campus who loves to bully and aims to get all she wants." I said without hesitation. The crowd gasped. Serves her right. I pulled the nerd to continue walking.

"Argh! Who the hell are you?!" she said and she's in the perks of crying but still she managed to maintain her composure.

Napahinto ako sa paglalakad as I looked back. I smirked and said,
"I'm you're worst nightmare, bitch. Be careful not to mess up with me 'cause I swear you won't like it."

We resumed from walking not minding her loser expression when I said those words.

Serves her right anyway. Tss. Looks like my stay here in this university will prolong because of that bitch. Seems like I have to divide my time for my mission and to teach her a good moral. Tsk.
