Leaf of Alexander

Chapter Five

Chapter Five: Nakakarami

After our class, I immediately went out, never minding my friends. I have to attend my photoshoot because Austin texted me that our Model Agent, was there already and he said that she seemed not in good mood. I had seen her once when I signed a contract to their agency. She was kind that time... well, she smiled genuinely that time but after that I hadn't seen seen her anymore. I was shocked why she was there.

While I was taking my pace faster, someone grabbed my arms. When I looked who was it, I felt disappointed with a lace of irritation when I saw Brent holding my arm. I looked at his hand that was grasping on my arms— he looked so desperate? What is the problem of this guy? Lately he was acting differently, and I don't want it, it makes me uncomfortable when we're practicing for the Theatre Play.

Brent has this kind of olive-green eyes that made me think that he has a foreign blood. His eyelashes were long and his brows were thick but it was perfectly arranged. He's good looking, but I am not attracted to him at all. I thought, all his actions before was only a friendly deeds but now, I feel awkward every time he acts something that unappropriated.

"What is it?" I asked calmly. Facing him and because of that his grasp on me loosen, and it made his hand fall.

"Sap, please, I just want to know you more..."

I shook my head, "If you interested going beyond friendship, then I should stop you now."

He tried to hold my hand. I avoided it. I never imagined that he'll be like this towards me. I was friendly to him and didn't think that this will going to happen. He looked at me, helplessly. Entering into some kind of arrangement, or commitment wasn't on my list for now. I was focused on my career, and schooling. It's only a disturbance in individual's life's style.

"Please, just give me a chance... at least to prove—"

I cut him off, "Sorry, but I have to go."

Tumalikod ako pero bigla niyang hinawakan ulit ang braso ko. Hinarap ko siya at magsasalita pa sana siya ngunit may biglang humila saakin palayo sa kanya. I looked who was it, and thankfully, saved by Alexander.

"What's happening?" tanong ni Alex saakin sabay tingin kay Brent.

"Dude, we're just talking!"

Nakita ko ang pag-igting ng panga ni Alexander. His grip on my wrist went tighter. He looked at Brent as if he wanted to punch him or something.

"Back off." he plainly said.

Brent laughed as if there was funny about it, "Who are you to say those words to me?"

Ayoko ng away kaya naman hinawakan ko sa braso si Alexander. He looked at me and the anger on his eyes turned into a soft and gently one. I smiled assuring him that I am okay. Involving any students that is in Latin Honors, he or she will lost his honor kahit na hindi pa siya ang nagsimula ng away.

"Halika na, Alex..." I said and pulled him away from Brent.

At no'ng nakalayo na kami at binitawan ko na ang kanyang kamay. He shook his head in disbelief. I walked faster because I have still an errands to attend. But before I could get away from Alexander, he grabbed my arms and pulled me somewhere else.

"Wait! Bakit mo ba ako hinihila?!" I whined and tried to shake my hand but his grip is too tight.

My brows arched when I saw where did he drag me to. Sa comfort room?

"Anong ginagawa natin dit—"

He cut me off.

"You're bleeding..."
