I looked at the side mirror and I keep my eyes watching her from the reflection, a small smile crawled on my lips as I saw her panicking in the middle of the crowd while people are congratulating her 'cause of course, who would dare mop me in an instant just like how she did? This was her first time on the track, I actually kind of quitting this game but when I knew that she'd play. I let her win, I let her get the crown because she's Sovereign... and a Sovereign means? A ruler, highness and the most mesmerizing word to fit her... a Queen.
I sighed contently and removed my seatbelt, I heard the rants outside but I just went out of the car simply. I saw my friends running towards my side, I continued walking while hearing the nonsense rants of these stupid bidders and now they're going crazy about the first ever race I had lost when in fact I didn't even force them to lay their moneys on me. Wala, e. Siya ang kalaban, sana alam nila kung sino iyon at iwasan na dahil wala silang panalo pag siya ang kalaban... hindi ako papayag na matalo siya ng kahit sino, sa anumang paraan dahil wala silang karapatang kalabanin ang reyna.
Oh fuck, I'm fucking creepy corny thinking about the ruler of my mind since the first night I heard her whimpers.
"Punk, what have you done!?" manghang buska ni Zarjiel habang tumuturo sa crowd ng racer na tumalo sa akin.
I shrugged. "Isn't it obvious, Zarjiel?"
"What? Seriously? Hindi ka nagpapatalo, hindi ka natatalo." si Red na halos pamunuan ng inis. "Did you sabotage our bets!?"
I never thought stupid could be this brilliant thinker in some way. Yes, I lost the race because I wanted it. Hmm, can we call it sabotage? I sabotaged the race for her to win, I know she needs money for her mom's incoming birthday and the enrolment is nearing. It'd be a big help for Loraes.
"Woah, easy! Hindi niya kasalanan na nagwapuhan ka sa kanya kaya siya ang pinustahan mo." mapang inis na sabi ng isang babae na kasali rin sa natalo pero may kakaibang ang tingin sa akin. Lumapit siya at nag-abot ng kamay. "Hi! I'm Genevive! Nice to meet you, Primo."
Some girls are getting creepier each day around, seeking for the attention of someone who literally doesn't give a damn about them.
Tipid akong tumango at lumakad na palampas, naiwan ang kamay niya pero kinaway niya iyon at malapad na ngumiti.
"I guess you don't know me much, my Mom's friends with Tita Eldora."
Hindi ko iyon pinansin pa. Ano naman kung magkaibigan ang Mama namin? I respect Mom's friends but that doesn't require me to be friends with them either and using her name just to get my attention is working but not really well now. I'm used to it, they're just using it to get my eyes but never the affection.
Tatawa-tawang sumunod sa akin sila Cairbre patungo sa tent, pumasok ako roon at hinubad ang upper part ng racing attire ko. I immediately pulled a white shirt to wear, nagtatawanan pa rin ang mga nasa tent habang patuloy akong hindi mapaniwalaan sa pagkatalo.
"Seriously? Tangina, bawas chics ka niyan. Ang bobo m— mga pumusta sayo." pagbabago ni Horace sa sasabihin niya dapat.
I looked back at him and arched my brow up. Sinong bobo?
"Hey, easy! Don't pick a fight here, Villareals." tawa ni Hail.
"Sa labas, Horace?" tanong ko sa kanya sa malamig na tinig, nanghahamon na.
Nagtaas siya ng kamay at umiling habang nangingisi. "Dude, mga 'yon. Hindi kita sasabihin ng bo- alam mo na 'yun."
"Yeah, fuck out now Horace or you'll end up violet eyed." natatawang sabi ni Raiel.
"Huwag mong tawaging bobo!" sigaw ni Hail. "Hephep-Horace nga hindi ka manalo! Ikaw bobo rito, e!"
Humagalpak sila sa tawa. Walang imik akong umalis ng tent habang ginugulo ang buhok ko, napanguso ako nang makita kong inaakbayan si Loraes ng mga kaibigan niya. Kaibigan, my ass. They are so touchy, baka nanghihipo pa. Umismid ako at nilihis ang tingin doon, sumakay na ako sa kotse at sumunod si Raiel na agad pumasok sa front seat. Binuksan niya ang speaker at pinasibad ko na ang sasakyan paalis ng field.
