Chapter 1: The First Move

Chapter 1: The First Move

“Hi there transferee!” bati ni Diara sa lalaking matagal na niyang pinagplanuhang kunin. Kung sinus’werte ka nga naman, sa school pa talaga niya ‘to nag-transfer. Pakapalan ng mukha, siya ang dapat unang gagawa ng hakbang para makalapit siya sa isang Ivan Hunter na tinitingala ng lahat. Mas mapadali din ang kaniyang magiging trabaho para dito, “Sabay na tayong pumuntang classroom,” pangiti niyang alok na kaagad namang tinanguhan nito.

They don't really have the same course, at nagkataon lang din na may isang subject silang nagkakapareho ng schedule—ang Literature. This will be her first step to gain his trust. For, gods don't trust people easily.

She secretly looks at his handsomely features while they were still walking. Mahaba-habang lakaran din ‘to dahil nasa kabilang building pa ang next subject nila.

Matangkad si Ivan na kahit ilagay pa siya sa mga matataong lugar ay kaagad pa rin siyang mapapansin. His golden hair is kinda wavy, na nagbibigay ng plus factor sa kaniyang malakas na appeal. He looks like a guy next door, at kahit sino pa yatang mga babae sa campus ay mapapalingon kapag siya na ang pag-uusapan. In just a matter of three days of transferring here, parang viral sa internet ang kasikatan niya sa buong campus.  Women are literally drooling over him as they passed by. Walang pinipiling group, mapa-hotties, mapa-nerd, or even those brainiac na kagaya niya na nagmamasid sa fourth floor ng building na kakalampas lang nila.

He smiles at them, too, na mas lalong nagbibigay ng hopeless-romantic ideya sa mga babaeng napapangiti niya. What was with that grin anyway? He seems so friendly but she knows better, Ivan is dangerous and deadly like a wild untamed animal, ready to kill any creature that he wans to.

Gods are never been kind. It's just a trick to prolong their reign. Pero, hindi s’ya n’andito para ipaglaban ang kaniyang uri, kundi ang kaniyang mas malalim pa na paghahangad ng hustisya at katarungan. Ivan Hunter will be her ultimate key to her goals.

 “Come on, Diara," tawag nito sa kaniya na siyang nagpabalik nito sa kaniyang wisyo.

Ivan smiles at her as if she is gazing on a stunning little sun shining in the night. He is really hot and too attractive to even not to notice. For a family who owns too much, Diara is still confused on how he acts. Kilala ang angkan nila sa sobrang yaman at kasikatan pagdating sa mundo ng negosyo. Their family owns the Hunter Empire, more like a multi-billion business for creating new technologies. Kompanya nila ang unang gumawa ng computers, cellphones, websites, at anumang gadgets na ginagamit sa makabagong panahon. Lately, rumors spread that their company was now having negotiation with the government for advanced weapons.

So paano nangyaring nag-transfer siya sa isang hindi kilalang eskwelahan?

Not to mention, he is a bit weird on how he portrays himself. Walang makikita sa katawan niya na kahit anong jewelries or accessories na mamahalin, maliban sa isang maliit na earing na mukhang gawa sa ibang elemento na tanging mga immortal lang ang mayroon, at nakasabit ito sa kaniyang kaliwang tainga.

He looks so ruggedly handsome with his faded blue jeans and just a plain white fitted t-shirt. Hindi na kailangan pang pahubarin ang isang ‘to kung abs lang ang pag-uusapan. He's so perfect, and yet she will never fall onto his magnetic charisma. She assures herself on that.

Tahimik silang naglalakad papunta sa kanilang classroom at dumaan sila sa pasilyo ng Admin’s Room na gawa sa salamin. Diara looks at her reflection.

Taliwas sa kaniyang kuya, she is ordinary in this place. Nothing special, she wears her big eyeglasses all the time, and she never even put make-up on her face. Sinadya din niyang h’wag ayusin ang pagtali ng kaniyang buhok, na halos hindi na makikita ang kaniyang mukha sa mga loose strands nito.
