My Other Name Is Death

Chapter 5

***

"Anong nangyayari dun?" Confusion is written on Breese's face.

"A-ahh, g-guys.." shit! How can I tell them?!

"Tara dun!"

"GUYS!" Napatingin silang tatlo sa akin. Natigilan agad sila nang makita akong naiinis. "I want you three to stay there," sabay turo ko sa isang gazebo na nasa ilalim ng punong-kahoy na hindi kalayuan sa building ni Serene. "And don't dare to step a foot out of that gazebo. Ako na ang pupunta kay Serene."

Nagsitanguan naman sila at nag-unahan sa gazebo. Good. Huminga ako ng malalim bago naglakad papunta sa kumpulan. Err. Alam kong hindi niyo pa alam. Isa akong vice president ng student government organization. Sinigurado ko muna na hindi makikita ng tatlong kaibigan ko ang gagawin ko.

"What's with the commotion, students?" Kalma kong tanong sa kanila sabay cross-arms. I raised my brow to the girl who claimed the title of being the 'queen bee'.

"V-vice.."

"Secretary Ceilin (Keilin). What's wrong here?"

"Ahh ehh.."

I waited for her to speak, kaso ang tagal. Nababagot ako kaya hinawi ko siya para makapasok sa kumpulan. I cussed many words when I saw Dylan, with blood all over his uniform. He's holding the student knife (a butterfly knife) pointed to.. shower boy?

"Dylan Lee!" Tawag ko sa pangalan niya kaya napatingin ito sa akin. His eyes grew big at nabitawan niya ang student knife na hawak niya. "And you! Drop your knife, idiot!"

Shower boy dropped his knife. Ang sama ng tingin niya kay Dylan. Unlike Dylan, dumudugo ang bibig niya, as if natanggalan ng limang ngipin. His face were covered with blood. Napatingin ito sa akin. This is why I don't want my friends to transfer!

Nilapitan ko si shower boy. "What the fvck is your name?"

"Terrence.."

"And your last name asshole."

"C-Claudis."

I fished my phone from my pocket and dialled Sachel Sanchez's number. Sachel is the president of SOG.

"Fvck you bitch. Second year building, lobby. Hurry before I tear your neck using my knife."

Agad ko namang in-end dial. Kinuha ko ang knife ni Claudis at ni Lee na inihulog nila kanina. "I, Hailey Bae, the vice president will temporarily keep your knives. At ito ang tatandaan ninyo," I grabbed Dylan's hand as well as Claudis'. Inilapit ko sila sa mukha ko at tsaka sinamaan ng tingin. "If I'll see you both making scenes again while I'm around the campus, I will not think twice na gitilan kayo ng leeg." I eyed Dylan who's been staring at me with those tired eyes. "You're really lucky enough, hindi pa kita mababaon sa lupa. Just wait, Lee."

Hinawakan ko gilid ng ulo ni Dylan using my right hand, while kay Claudis ay sa left hand ko. I smirked bago ipinagbangga ang ulo nila, causing them to collapsed. Si Sachel na nga ang magliligpit nito. Tss.

"Eng sharep neman ng carbonara deto!"

Agad kong sinamaan ng tingin si Kazi. Kelan ba 'to matatahimik? Ang puno ng bibig niya tapos dumadaldal pa.

"Unnie, dapat hindi nalang ako nagtransfer dito eh."

Agad akong napatingin kay Madelle. "Anong ibig mong sabihin? Binully ka ba? Inaway? Ninakawan? ANO?!"
