Strike three and I'm dead

Tama si Riley. Strike one and strike two. Nagsisimula na ang mga klase at ang dalawa ay nasa principal's office na. Ngayon ay mayroon nalang akong isa na para protektahan ako. Kapag nawala pa si Colleen, I mean if Colleen is gone, the tower is left defenseless. That will be strike three. Then Riley will be right there to comfort me. Pansinin nalang yung sarcasm sa sentence.

"You're scared."

For some reason I blushed at that. "Yeah, yeah I am."

"Now that you know you shouldn't be worried about them, you're worried about youself." Sabi niya nang mapagtanto niya na, lahat ng sinabi niya sakin ay totoo.

"Y-yeah."

Natahimik kaming dalawa ng ilang minuto. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa sahig ng hallway dahil sa kahihiyan. He probably think I'm some selfish—pero biglang humagalpak ng tawa si Colleen.

"Anong nakakatawa? Ano? Ano? Wala namang nakakatawa!" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"You think I can't protect you by myself?" He asked, challenging me.

"Ano? Gaga to wala naman akong sinabi—"

"I don't need those two idiots for help," He told me, sabay halukipkip na parang bata. "I'm fine all by myself."

"Hindi ang ibig sabihin ko kasi—"

"Besides, I got these babies." Nagsimulang ipakita sakin ni Colleen ang kanyang muscles sa braso. Lahat ng babaeng napapadaan samin ay napapasinghap at pinapaypayan ang sarili, karamihan ay iniirapan ako. What? It's not my fault if Colleen is showing off his muscles to me.

"Oo na may point ka dyan, pero kasi—"

"Siobhan, makinig ka sakin." He said grabbing my shoulder to face him, "It will take a lot more than punching someone or making a sarcastic comeback to send me to the principal's office like those two idiots. I promise you, I'm going to stick to you like glue the whole day until they come back. Once they do, they'll buy us your favorite pizza for being idiots. Naiintindihan mo ba?"

"Ang narinig ko lang ay pizza." Sabi ko na nagpangiti sa kanya.

"Close enough, now let's go to class."

"But we have different schedules," I pointed out to him.

He smirked, "I have a plan, and you have to come with me,"

—

"We are going to get caught," Sabi ko sa aking sarili

"Hindi tayo mahuhuli," Sabi naman ni Colleen

"Yes we are. You are going to get expelled. This will be put in my permanent record and—"

Hinawakan muli ni Colleen magkabilang balikat ko to face him. "Siobhan, we are not going to get caught."

Inilahad ko ang kamay sa kanya.

"Five hundred," I said.

He smirked and shook my hand. "You're on."

Nag iwas na ng tingin si Colleen sa akin at sumilip sa bawat corner ng hall. Napabuntong hininga ako at pinasadahan ng daliri ang nakalugay kong buhok.

"Mamamatay na tayo dito."

"Have a little faith in me, will you?"

Tumunog ang aking tiyan. "You're going to die if I don't get something to eat," Pananakot ko sa kanya. "Unless the teachers catch us before I could do so."
