"What did you do?" She asked, almost running in front of the table I'm sitting on.
"What's wrong?" I asked, "Aren't we playing cat and mouse?" "Mouse is not supposed to reveal herself in front of the cat. Is the mouse not afraid of being eaten? " I flashed her my best and sweetest smile. "Did you like my present senior?" I asked. "Did I respond accordingly?

"You are crazy..." mahina at wala sa sariling sabi ni Kayla. "Crazy, you are crazy..."
Tumaas ang kilay ko sa paulit-ulit niyang pagbulong, namumula ang mga mata niya habang nakatingin sa akin.
Hawak-hawak niya ng mahigpit sa kanyang kaliwang kamay ang pinaka-malapit na tasa sa lamesa.
"What did I even do to you? Why are you doing this to me?" Tumutulo ang mga luha niya habang nagsasalita.
"Pretty" That's the first thing that came to my mind because she's still pretty while crying, and next is, "Why didn't she pursue acting as her career?
"I graduated already. Why are you still targeting me?" palakas ng palakas ang pag-iyak niya at dumadami na rin ang taong nakikinig at nanonood sa performance ni Kayla.
"Again and again, why can't you let go of me?"
Her hand is now bleeding because of the force she exerted when she threw the coffee mug on the floor. Wow, She could really be a famous actress if she wanted to. I also might consider investing in her if she behaves, but of course with the condition of "if she behaves"
"Are you done?" Tanong ko kay Kayla.
Nakaupo na siya sa sahig habang umiiyak. Palakas ng palakas ang bulungan sa paligid namin. May lumapit na isang magandang babae at niyakap ng mahigpit si Kayla.
"Are you done? Is that all you're going to say? You are going too far, don't you think?" nanginginig ang boses na tanong sa akin ng babae.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"You are too much!" nangingilid ang luha na sabi niya habang yakap si Kayla. "Are you really this cruel? You can bully whomever you want just because you are a Gustav?"
Narinig ko ang malakas na pagpalo ni Trixie sa lamesa, silently protesting on my behalf, but I managed to stop her from talking.
I stand up and silently look at the two girls sitting on the floor, focusing my gaze on the new girl because I've never seen her before.
She has an angelic face, almond eyes, and rosy cheeks. She's the type of girl that can easily attract the opposite gender's interest and can ignite the male's protective nature.
She's also good because, with just a few words, she managed to gather a lot of support from our surroundings. Too bad Queens Academy is a girls' school, because if not, there is no doubt that a lot of no-brainer male chauvinists will compete just to protect this crying princess.
"So..." I step forward and look at my surroundings.
Some of them are pointing at me and looking at me with accusation, but they will anonymously look away the moment I lay my eyes on them.
Pathetic
"If people don't know what's truly going on, they will think I am bullying the two of you." I started and stepped forward again to shorten the distance between us. I smiled when I made sure that I was only two steps away from their position, where I could easily look down on them.
"The both of you just march on here, act crazy and shout injustice for something I don't even know. What if I have a weak heart and get shocked because of your performance, are you willing to bare the consequence?"
There was silence, and then I heard an amused but short chuckle near the door. My gaze was unintentionally drawn to where the sound came from and was taken aback when my eyes connected to a guy that was slightly leaning on the door. He smiled at me and I frowned because all I could think about was that he had interrupted my momentum and I didn't like it.
I don't like the vibe he is radiating and his smile is irritating me for no reason.
"It's you! How can you do this to me? Our family business, our family.. "halos mabaliw na sigaw ni Kayla na siyang nagpabalik ng atensyon ko.
"Shut up! It's your family; why are you asking me?" iritadong sagot ko, surprised at my own outburst, but I quickly concealed it by inhaling deeply "Why are you bothering me with your family's problems?" Am I your guardian? "
Narinig ko nanaman yung mahinang tawa pero pinigilan kong tumingin sa pintuan.
"You are lying! Liar! It's you!!!!" sigaw niya ulit habang humahagulgul ng iyak. "Let go, I will kill her! kill her!" pumipiglas na sigaw niya dahil yakap pa rin siya ng kaybigan niyang babae na umiiyak rin.
Hinawakan ko ang ulo ko dahil nagsisimula na itong sumakit sa puro sigawan.
"What do you believe that I did?"
"Kayla's sex scandal, how can you do that to her? How can you post that to the internet and.....Oh Kayla, I'm so sorry!" hinigpitan niya ang yakap kay Kayla at tumingin sa akin na para bang sya ang ginawan ng masama, samantalang halos sabay-sabay na naglabas ng cellphone ang mga tao sa paligid, unti-unting umingay at pinag-uusapan ang kung ano mang video na mabilis nag trending kahit bagong upload lang ito. "You are also a girl. How can you ruin other girls' reputations?" halos hindi makahingang sabi ni "angelic face" habang umiiyak "You are cruel!" so cruel..."
"I'm not the one that uploaded it." I defended but Kayla got crazy again and tried to attack me, so I kicked her on the shoulder.
The surroundings got noisy again because of what I did and because Kayla exaggeratedly rolled on the floor after I kicked her. Oh please, I didn't even kick her that hard!
Angelic Face almost crawled on the floor to help Kayla get up. She acted as if she was defending Kayla from me by hiding Kayla at her back.
"Have you not done enough yet? How can you hurt her like this?"
"What? Should I just let her attack me for something I didn't do? "Am I crazy?"
"Are you saying that the Gustav empire didn't withdraw all their investment and partnership to Ramirez Corporation?" Angelic Face questioned me, her face full of justice for her friend.
So that's it, I mockingly smiled. That's her true goal.
Gustav Empire's withdrawal from Ramirez Corporation is completely different from posting Kayla's sex scandal. So this is how she wants to play? very good! What angelic face? She is simply two-faced, all right!
I didn't know I had two mice to catch.
Do they really think I am a pushover?
