Chapter 3.1: Long lost bro

          Chapter 3.1: Long lost bro  

ZACH'S POV

"Soo... where's the hot chick you're talking about?" I asked and he chortled.

"Sa likod mo." He said teasingly while pointing someone from my back with his lips. When I looked back I saw Damien, heading our way.

"Woaah. Good to see you dude!" I greeted with a pat on the back. "You still look like shit!"

"Shit, huh? Is this how you welcome your long lost bro?" Damien said with an unamused face and I just chortled. But wait..

"W-wait wait.. Is he the chick you're talking about?" Tanong ko kay Todd and they both bursts out laughing.

"Ano ba sa tingin mo?" Damien asked in between laughs.

"Freakin' scumbags!" I said and punched Todd in the shoulder.

Damien Penber is one of my best friends. He's the nice guy and the serious type saming magto-tropa. Siya din ang pinakamatanda sa'min. Marami kaming pagkakaiba at may mga bagay din kaming madalas na hindi napagkakasunduan. Like he's the loyal type of person and obviously, I am not. Hindi na nga sya nagka-girlfriend ulit after what happened to his ex-girlfriend. At sa tingin ko rin, iyon na rin siguro ang first and last girlfriend nya.

May sarili siyang mundo kadalasan. Sya din yung dakilang kj sa'min. May mga kalokohan kasi kami na minsan di nya trip sakyan. Matagal-tagal na din kaming hindi nagkikita since lumuwas sya ng Pinas a year ago.

"Where's Lee anyway?" I asked Todd.

"Andito siya an hour ago. Pero nauna na siya, may problema ata sila ng girlfriend niya." Babae pinoproblema? Psh.

Lee Martinia is one of my best friends as well. Sa'ming apat, he's the smartest. Palaging naisasali sa mga contests, quiz bees and any competitions na nangangailangan ng enough amount of brain cells para manalo. Siya din ang pinaka-active when it comes to extra curricular activities, except sports. Siya ang pinakamadaldal sa'ming apat at palaging may sinasabi since marami siyang alam sa lahat ng bagay, which is minsan kinaiirita ko.

And yeah, they're my closest buddies and as you might already have noticed, si Todd lang ang kasama ko sa gang. Lee and Damien chose to avoid any form of involvement with my gang for some personal matters. At isa pa, both of them didn't feel the need to join me ruling the gang since alam nilang kaya ko namang i-handle ang gang ng mag-isa, at delikado daw ito which always makes my eyes roll heavenwards. 

Coz' as for me? I'm badly enjoying it. What can I say? The thrill, the pumping adrenaline, the power.. it's what every gangsters lives by; the finer things in life- but yeah, only a bit dangerous.

"So how are things bro? It's been a long time na rin eh." Todd asked Damien.

"Well everything's fine and great.." Damien heaved out a sigh before he could finish his sentence. "..but n-not until now."

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"Dad wants me to go back to school and finish my senior year. The reason why I'm here." Damien responded.

Dito lang siguro kami may similarity. We both have issues with our parents in regards to our studies. My oh-so-great father wants me to finish my studies as well since I'm the only one who's eligible to take over our business, at para na rin siguro sa reputasyon ko as a gang leader. But come on! Look at me. I'm freaking gorgeous and a pretty man like me doesn't deserve to be on that school hell and get educated by some retarded teachers. Schools are for wimp.
