The Hidden Monster

ChapterIII

Yaxha's POV

"What do you wa--"

'In the library, south lounge.'He sounded like a real boss with his manly yet cold, very cold voice. Anyway, I won't go there. Hindi pa kaya ako nakakakain. ^3^

"Now? I can't-"

Tut-tut-tut

Then he hung up.

YAAAHH! Seriously?! That arrogant man. Tsk. And I thought he'd treat me gently because he called me 'Angel' awhile ago.

Apparently, I was wrong. Aissh. >_>

"You're done eating?" tanong sa akin ni Homer as I stood up. They are still eating and I'm not sure if telling them that I'm currently a servant of Xander because of last night is going to help me. Wait, what? Bakit hindi ko nga ba 'yun naisip? Kyaah! I bet Xander will lose his face in front of the legendary Chimaera. ^3^

On the other hand, I'll save it later I'm curious why Xander called me. :3

"Uhmm, there's someone I need to teach some manners. I'll be back soon." I said with a naughty smile on my face.

"Hey, teach that someone REAL lesson." Eril said and showed the same smile. If she only knew I'm referring to Xander, I bet she'll bolt from the blue. "Absolutely" I assured her and started to walk out of the dining hall.

I walked down the hallway and rode the elevator since the library is in the ground floor. Nakasalubong ako ng mga freshmen and they can't take their eyes off me. Pssh. They probably knew me since most of them went through me in their interview. My dad gave me that summer job and I can't say no.

I went straight to the library south lounge. Medyo may kalakihan ang two storey library namin. Lounges are in the four corners of the library and lots of books are piled in the middle while thousands of books occupy the second floor. We are encouraged to read two books or novels every month. Insights and reaction towards the book are written in the book log of every student and submitted to the Comprehensive Reading Committee, one of the clubs here, to be checked if all the students complied and did their homework. Honestly 'encouraged' is not the right term because we are required to do that from first to fifth year. My father wanted gangsters and delinquents to become the best not only with their fists but also with their brains. Again, Vendelle Asta Academy-Night class is NOT your ordinary school.

Some students greeted me and I smiled in return. So far all of them seems nice since they're in the library at lunch break. Based on statistics of our school, only 9-11% of the students went to the library to read or mga tipong tambay talaga para mag-aral on regular days. The highest rating is one week before the examination ranging from 20-30%. I don't know how Xander knew about this but the library is the best and safest place for us to talk if we personally don't want others to see us together.

After a while, I saw Xander sitting and reading some books. He looked.. uhmmm different from the guy who carelessly made a deal with me. He's silently flipping pages and leaning his back to the chair. He has long arms and broad shoulders, masculine indeed.
