Chapter 14
CLINT'S POV
One week had passed at ito ang iniintay ng lahat. The masquerade ball. Madilim ang paligid at kung titingnan mula sa labas parang walang kasiyahan mangyayari. It's so boring , it's so dull. I'm now entering this school at parang may kung anong kutob ako na hindi maganda?
"Hey! Don't act like it's your first time to attend a party like this!"
I smiled. She is gorgeous in her style , she has this effiminacy in her aura. Wearing a black fitted long gown and a fear face? Perfect combination.
"You're beautiful Clint. More beautiful than ever."
"I would say thank you if that's a compliment and if it's just a joke , well thank you pa rin."
"Na-uh! It's not a joke!"
"Fine. You're beautiful too."
"I know right! Nasa sinapupunan pa lang ako ng ina ko , maganda na talaga to."
And she winked at me tapos umalis. Patricia is Patricia. A socialize and fierce person that you would ever meet. I sat on a chair near me and watched the people at the dancefloor.
"Good evening , mademoiselle."
Napatingin ako sa nagsalita at hindi ko maitatanggi na ang guwapo niya at mas lalong lumakas ang dating. So now , what's his problem?
"Chill. Sayang ang ganda , huwag kang sumimangot. Just enjoy the night with me."
Pabulong niyang sinabi yung with me thingy na yun. Kinilabutan ako sa husky voice niya. Hindi ko namalayan na hawak na niya ako sa bewang at naglalakad kasama siya. Nakangisi naman ang gago!
"Hey! I'm going back to my seat now. Let me g----"
"Shh. I will just remind you this. Whatever happens , I'm here."
And then he walked away too. Uso ba yun? Matapos kang kausapin iiwan ka at ang mas malala , naiiwan kang nagtataka. What does he mean? Hindi ko na siya makita pa , lahat kasi nakamaskara. Tanging si Patricia at Grae lang ang nakita ko pero ngayon wala na sila. Nakaagaw naman ng pansin ko ang MC na nagsalita.
"Everyone , Good evening and welcome to our grandest masquerade ball! As you can see , lahat tayo dito nakamaskara kaya walang makakakilala and for a twist , mamaya 12:00 mamamatay ang ilaw at ang taong hahawak sa kamay niyo ang partner niyo para sa isang sorpresa. So be ready and enjoy the party."
Shit! Anong kalokohan to? Asan ba si Patricia? Ang daming nakared dito! Asan si Grae? Shit! Ang dami ding naka black suit dito! Ano bang itsura ng maskara nila?! Shit! Di ko nakita. What the hell?
"Looking for someone? Don't bother yourself , 9:00 pm pa lang. Don't stress yourself too much. I know you're beautiful."
And who the hell is this guy? Kanina ko pa naririnig yung maganda. Sige na! Oo na! Maganda na kung maganda! Well , siya nga pala! I'm wearing a black fitted long gown na backless and full of diamonds mula taas at baba habang ang buhok ko ay nakalugay at kulot. I look stunning! Problem?!
"Who the hell are you?"
"You don't know me----"
"That's why I'm asking."
"Fine. Haha! Chill. I'm Dustin Swivelton , the president of the Supreme Student Organization."
President? SSO? I don't know him so maybe this is the effect of being an introvert? Wala kang kaalam alam sa mga nangyayari sa paligid mo?
"So what do you need?"
"I just want a blast for this party."
Whut the heck was that? Leaving me here?! Such a fucking idiot! Blast na nalalaman niya! But it seems all the words that I heard is connected.
