Operation: Assassinate the Prince (COMPLETE)

Chapter 4: The Gangs

Its hellweek! yeah. At dahil sa late enrollee ako kailangan kong magpatutor sa brainiac which Meriel is excellent for the name. I hailed a cab at ang swerte ko. Walang mga Mini skirts and Pasta. Oh well, Kinuha ko ang celphone ko and open the personal application of the Assassins.

TARGET:

LYNDER HERLEIM

ARDO LEADER

Former Drag Racer

Former Taekwondo and Judo Acer

Maven in Wester University

"Lynder. Ardor"

"alam mo ba ang Ardors?" Meriel's statement suddenly echoed in my mind. So, its him.

"dito na ako Manong." bumaba na ako sa taxi at dali daling pumasok sa university. And I really hate this feeling. Karamihan ay pinagtitinginan ako. I obliviously walk to the corridor and i can hear all their whispers. Am I their topic? Hanggang sa makarating ako sa second floor eh pinagtitinginan pa rin nila ako. Di ko na matiis. Nangangati na dila ko. Hinablot ko ang kwelyo ng isang nakikipagtsismisang babae. I look at her angrily.

"ALAM ko ako ang topic. Pwede bang ishare mo sakin lahat ng information?" with full of sarcasm. Halos mapunit na ang kwelyo ng blouse niya sa pagkakahawak ko. E sa nanggigil ako. Biglang tumakbo ang katsismisan niya kanina. I smirk. That is really an act of a true friend.

"now, speak up! O gusto mong buhul buhulin ko ang dila mo"

"P-perp i-is s-searching for y-you," she stuttered. Dapat lang Matakot ka.

"and who is this Perp?' i asked with my brows raised. At ngayon nakikipagusap ako sa di ko kilala. tsk.

"the c-Costa's l-leader." anu bayan. ang rami kong hindi alam. Magmumukha akong bobo nito.

I rolled my eyes. Wala akong alam!

"ano bang pangalan mo?"

"Ange-"

"see me at the cafeteria. 1 sharp. dont show up and you'll be dead." i stop her.  I ungripped her and started walking. I Badly need Meriel's brain now.

--------

Nandito kami ngayon sa cafeteria with Ange.

"angela nga eh. hindi ange." Wala akong paki kung sino ka pang pontio pilato . Ange.

"tell me, who is this Costa's?" i asked irritably. Ang tagal niyang magsalita! Gawd! Asan na nga yung ballpen ko?!

"you dont know The Costa's?" she looked at me puzzledly.

" seriously?" tinanong pa ako. peste.

"sasagot ka o susunugin kita ngayon ngayon din?" na rattle siya sa sinabi ko.

"Dalawang grupo ang nag eexist sa campus which are the Ardor and Costa. Kalat na sa buong school na naenkwentro mo sila kahapon but they didnt make a move na i bully or bugbugin ka which is so unusual. Like Meriel's case. She's like the Ardor's mascot. Palagi nilang binubully si Meriel." I look at Meriel at mamasa-masa ang mata niya.

"i dont care about their bullying. All i want to know is why they wanted me to meet them."

"Maybe they want you to join their Gang." Uso pa pala ang gang ngayong araw?? I thought fraternities na lang. Maybe they just wanted to be unique. tsss.. Gang daw. They are bunch of losers who wanted to be called. cool

"no ordinary group but a Gang?" i asked boringly

"Like Ardor." Yeh. yeh. Ardor is a gang too. So, may kompetensya bang nagaganap dito?

"You can go now Ange-Angel"

"angela nga"

"umalis ka na. baka masaksak kita." she rushly run away from me. Natagpi tagpi ko na lahat. Bunch of not cool Gangsters.

"Hindi kita na warningan kahapon. Sorry ah."

"Bat kasi you look so Weak and Innocent. Try to look fearless and a bitch." her jaw dropped open wide.

"Bitch?"

"yeah, bitch" kinuha ko ang makapal niyang eyeglass and crushed it.

"w-what have you done?!" she shrieked full of disgust.

"i crushed it" sabay kain ko ng pancakes ko. Ang sarap! inopen niya ang bag niya and wore another eyeglass. kinuha ko ito ulit and crushed it with vexation.

"kumuha ka pa ng isa mukha mo na ang sisirain ko." napatigil siya sa pagopen ng bag niya.

"contacts?? pwede?" ahh.. i nod. GOOD. She wore it. At bagay sa kanya.

Nagpaturo na ako sa kanya ng lessons na di ko naabutan. She's totally smart.

"Youre no.1?"

"Nope. Its Lynder."

"another cliche."

"He really is smart. I dont know what happened why he become not-so-interested in attending school. Dati He is so punctual. His record is clean as white."

"close kayo?"

"nope. Unrequited love?" unrequited love? Gawd! such an idiot.

"tanga mo." i sip my coffee.

"di ka ba natatakot sa kanila?"

"why should I? They are bunch of uncool gangsters who choose to bully-" tiningnan ko siya. "geeks and weaklings."

"then help me."

"im not into helping people. Im not on charity works." pinukpok ko ang libro at nagets niya naman agad. Nagsimula na siyang magexplain. Di ko masyado magets ang iba, feeling ko kasi may tumitingin sakin and its not an ordinary glare.  I sense hatred. Di ko nalang pinansin. Maybe envious student lang. tsss.. After how many minutes or i think its been an hour of lecturing ni Meriel e natapos rin kami. At feel na feel niya. May quiz daw siyang ibibigay sakin bukas so i better study daw. tsss.

She say her goodbye and i just nod. Unti unti nang nawawala ang mga students sa cafeteria. Nagsimula na kasi ang pasok at ako lang ang studyanteng may lakas loob na di pumasok.. All i hear are the clingings of utensils sa school kitchen, then i heared a sound of shattered glasses. I dock. Lumingon ako sa likod and I saw a shadow aggresively runs through nowhere.. Assassin? Nope. Not so clean work.

napatingin ako sa table at isang balisong ang nakatirik sa mesa na may nakaattach na papel. He's a master of throwing knives. I smile. Attending school is not really that boring.

"Danger building. 7 pm" i chuckled after reading it. It must be the Costa's. They practices art on convincing new recruits.

"must be fun." i smiled.
