Lauren's POV

"Deal." sambit ni Derso at nagkamayan silang dalawa ni Genir at nagtinginan naman kaming mga miyembro ng dalawang grupo.

"You shouldn't have done that stupid thing kuya!!!" Chloe shouted to his brother. After the fake battle earlier no one won but we still receive some scars but not that deep, enough for all of us to stop. But then suddenly Michael disappeared from our sight adn find out he's beating Kredo to death but us not knowing the reason, he keeps saying that Kredo pissed him while they're still fighting so he decided to beat him up after the fake battle and thats the reason why Chloe, Louisa, and I are so disappointed on him.

"If you're in my place, you'd do the same." Michael said coldly which made the three of us massage our temples, but on the other hand. There is Niger seriously looking at Michael, seems like he's reading his mind to figure out something important.

"What made you think na gagawin ko ang ginawa--"

"KASI BINASTOS KA NYA HABANG NAGLALABAN TAYO!!" sigaw ni Michael kaya medyo napaatras si Chloe pero agad namang nakabawi.

"You don't have to do that! I CAN HANDLE MYSELF--!"

"BUT I'M YOUR BROTHER AND I MUST PROTECT MY LITTLE SISTER!!" agad na lumambot ang mukha ni Chloe at mangiyak ngiyak na dahil sa nasabi ng kapatid. I think this is going to be a dramatic scene for this siblings.

"I trust your skills... I know you can handle yourself... Pero hindi ko naman kayang pigilang mag-alala... I love you and I might die if something bad happened to you." malambing na pagpapatuloy ni Michael at niyakap ang kapatid na hindi na napigilang maiyak.

*TING*

Tinignan ko agad ang bag ko para makuha ang phone. Agad kong binasa ang message sa akin ni Melisa...

From Melisungit:

Hey, half day tayo ngayon at hindi ka namn pumasok kanina so I wish na makapunta ka sa address na sinend ko sayo through email. We do really need your presence here kahit ako ang leader, so please, sumipot ka naman oh.

Agad ko namang tinignan ang email ko at nakita ang sinend nyang address. I never dare to text her back kaya binalik ko sa bag yung phone ko at hinarap si Niger. Michael and Chloe are now hugging each other silently while Louisa is preparing something at the dining area.

"I have to go, we got group project to do." Niger faced me and nod, I was about to leave the place but he suddenly grab my wrist, enough reason for me to look back.

"Guys, hahatid ko lang si Lauren." saad nya, hindi umimik yung dalawa pero si Louisa na may dala dala nang tray na may miryenda tumango at nag-mouth pa 'Go ahead' kaya hinila na ako ni Niger patungo sa kotse nya. Hindi na ko kumontra pa dahil hinatid lang naman ako dito ni Mang Ed. Pinagbuksan nya ako ng pinto at sumakay na ako agad, umikot naman sya at pumasok na sa loob at sumakay sa drivers seat katabi ko.

"Where's the addre--?"

*KRING* *KRING* *KRING*

I immediately grab my phone and answer it without looking who it was.

('Hey Lauren! Are you free tonight? I want to have some time to you, I miss you my cousin.') he said in the other line, I realize myself smiling with his words and found myself nodding as if he can see it.

"Alright Mico, I miss you too." I was about to end the call when I heard something from the phone. Nilapit ko ulit ito sa tenga ko at may itatanong pa pala sya.

"What is it Mico? Are you going to say something?" tanong ko. Hindi sya sumasagot sa kabilang linya at tinignan ko si Niger, he's just looking at me while holding the steering wheel. Ni-loudspeak ko na lang ang call at tiniganan ulit yung email tsaka isinulat sa sticky note at dinikit malapit kay Niger nang biglang magsalita si Mico...
