Doomsday High : Girls vs Boys (Teen Disputes)

Chapter 9

PAGE'S POV

Napapikit ako nang mahigpit at pinigilang mapatili. Hinintay kong tumunog yung impact ng sipa ni Bullet sa mukha ni Sean pero wala akong narinig.

O sadyang malakas lang ang tibok ng puso ko dahil sa kaba kaya hindi ko na narinig at baka mabilis ang pangyayari.

Unti-unti kong minulat ang mga mata ko at halos naibuga ko ang kaluluwa ko kasabay ng malalim na buntong hininga ko.

Nakataas ang paa ni Bullet, at konti na lang dadampi na sa pisngi ni Sean.

"B-Bullet..." ramdam ko na magang-maga ang lalamunan ko sa mga nangyayari.

"Oohh, malakas ang loob. Inakala kong di ka lang pipikit kundi tatakbo ka palayo. But you proved me wrong. Kaya sasabihin ko na yung favorite flower ni Page. It's this one. You passed the test... for now." Sabi ni Bullet sabay nagsmirk. Tinuro din niya yung box ng white roses na hawak ng isa sa mga kasama ni Sean.

"Well actually, Page prefers the red roses. Ilang araw na kayong magkasama and you should probably know by now na medyo may pagkakatulad kayo. But Page is the old-school type when it comes to courtship and relationships. You know, like manangs of the old days. Don't get me wrong, Page ha. I meant it in a good way." Paliwanag ni Kensie.

Kinuha ni Sean yung box ng roses mula dun sa kasama niya saka inabot sa akin.

"Uhmm girls, can you leave us for a sec? I think I need to talk to Sean." Nahihiyang sabi ko.

"Sure naman, Bak. Mauna na kami ni Bullet sa classroom." Paalam ni Kensie.

"If he grabs you, kick Mr. Little-John Wieners as hard as you can." Paalala ni Bullet.

Napatingin ako kay Sean and he seems to understood kung sino si Mr. Little-John Wieners.

At the back of my mind, I knew I owe the girls an explanation. And I knew for sure that if not during break time, I'll have to talk to them tonight.

"Wow that sure has got me weak in the knees." Buntong hininga ni Sean sabay napayuko na parang pagod na pagod. Hinawakan pa niya ang tuhod niya
gamit ang isa niyang kamay bilang suporta habang nakayuko siya.

"Ayos lang ho kayo sir?" Tanong ng isa sa nga kasama ni Sean.

"Oo kuya, salamat. Pwede na kayong umuwi." Sagot ni Sean sabay inabot ang isa pang box ng flowers sa isa sa kanila.

Matapos nilang magpaalam ay naiwan kami ni Sean para makapag-usap.

"Who were they?" Tanong ko.

"Just some of my bodyguards hired by my dad. Hindi ko sila madalas kasama especially if I'm at school. They only follow me when necessary like when my dad tells them to." Napatango na lang ako. I realized he's the son of a family of politicians.

"Seems like I surprised you and your friends in a not-so-good way."

"Well I haven't actually told them that you're courting me. Hindi pa kasi nagsisink in yung mga sinabi mo last time. But I'll tell them during break. Just don't expect them to accept you that easily, after all, you left us a bad impression on our first meeting." Sagot ko.

"Well I understand them. I haven't told the guys anyway. I'm sure they'll just have the same reaction."

"As long as they don't throw flying kicks, I'm sure I'll be fine. Oh, and thanks for the flowers by the way."
