3rd.

Her eyebrows creased when she saw a familiar car with a very familiar plate number. She smirked upon seeing it entering the Laroa University's East Wing parking lot. She immediately followed and found her way in to the same spot.

She whistled in too much anger she felt within her, plus the excitement to what may happen in the next minutes of this day. Whoever may be the driver of this black sports car will end up begging for his life to Xylah. She will make sure of it. She clenched her hands on the steering wheel as she parked her baby three cars away from her target.

Xylah harshly slammed the door of her car and locked it. She cracked the bones on her neck as she stepped to the man wearing blue polo and tight jeans with nerdy glasses on. She smiled as she recognized the stupid kidnapper of Aroma five days ago.

He was a student of Laroa and Xylah had met him more than a week ago in the Dean's office, the bestfriend of the man she killed months ago and probably will be Xylah's next kill.

"Nicholas Vest." She called his name out when she was few meters away from him.

"Yes?" he turned to look at her and was surprised to see Xylah, "Xylah? Good morning. May kailangan ka ba?" He asked her with a smile.

She gritted her teeth and calmed herself down before letting a wry smile, "Pwede ba tayong mag-usap?"

He raised an eyebrow and eventually turned serious when he saw Xylah's seriousness, "Tungkol naman saan ang gusto mong pag-usapan natin Xylah?" He asked formally while eyeing her intently.

"Something important." Panimula niya. "Something interesting." She smirked.

His forehead creased and eyed her with more intensity, "And what is it?" tanong ng lalaki. Napababa ng tingin si Xylah at mas lalong napangisi nang makita ang kuyom na kamao ng binata.

"Can we talk inside?" turo niya sa heavy-tinted nitong kotse.

Tinitigan muna siya nito ng ilang saglit na para bang tinatantya kung dapat ba siyang pagkatiwalaan o hindi. Napasipol-sipol siya habang hinihintay ang pagtugon ni Nicholas.

Nagpalinga-linga si Xylah at hinanap ang CCTV ng parking lot and surprisingly isa lang ang naroroon. Napanganga pa siya nang makita ang batang mamamatay-tao na nakaupo sa bubong ng isang kotse at may tinututok na laser sa CCTV camera.

Walang emosyon itong nakatingin sa kanya, gaya ng dati nakasuot ito ng itim na dress at itim na choker. Pinandilatan niya ang bata pero kumibit-balikat lang ito saka bahagyang tumango sa kanya.

Sa hindi malamang dahilan naintindihan niya ang pahiwatig ng simpleng tango ng bata. Tila ba sinasabi nitong... go on b*tch and do your business. Napairap si Xylah at iniwas ang tingin sa bata.

Binalik niya ang tingin kay Nicholas at nakitang sobrang lapit ng mukha nito sa kanya. Hinawakan siya ng lalaki sa balikat saka sinandal sa kotse. Bahagya siyang nagulat pero mabilis naging kalmado. Bumuntong hininga siya saka tinaasan ng kilay si Nicholas.

"So? It is true. You are her cherry-picked. Lucky b*tch." Bulong nito sa kanya na halos magbungguan na ang kanilang mga ilong. Matangos pa naman ang kanyang ilong. Tinulak niya ito. Bahagyang napaatras ang lalaki pero nakahawak pa rin sa kanyang mga balikat.

"What are you talking about?!" singhal niya. Hindi makapaniwalang tiningnan siya ni Nicholas at tumawa ito nang mahina.

"Talaga bang wala kang alam sa mga nangyayari sa paligid natin? You don't know the game of that kid where you are in?"
