The Bastard I Hate

Chapter Two

Normal na araw. Normal na schedules. Normal na----

Bwiset!

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" tanong ni Dreis. Una, dahil College of Fine Arts and Architechtural Design building yun. Pangalawa, FullHouse ang tambayan nito, hindi pasilyo.

"Pupunta ako ng Arts and Letters. I'm taking a shortcut," paliwanag nito. Wala talagang ka-effort effort ang kayabangan niya. Talent ba yan? Dapat sinusunog mga may ganyang talent eh.

She rolled her eyes and continue walking. He smiled at her.

( * means Thedreis is having an intrapersonal conversation with her traitor Heart)

* Don't you dare start with me Traitor! It's just a smile! And we hate him, remember?"

"I'm going to the campus radio," tila pinapabagal ang bawat kataga ng sasabihin ni Spade.

"Go. No one's stopping you. In fact, it would be nice to not see you here," she said. He is so annoying!

"Of course, no one can really stop me. See you in a bit, Ace," paalam nito.

"Not a chance, bastard," she exclaimed and went to her class.

"Hello, mic test...mic check, one, two, three..." It was Spade. He is serious then. He's talking at the campus radio. Radio campus which means everyone in every corner of the University will going to hear him.

"Hello everyone, this is Spade F, and I am pleased to announce that Thedreis Leauria Sebastian, third year, from the College of Fine Arts and Architechtural Design, is now my official Ace of Hearts. Touch her and you're dead."

She's at her class and she was dumbfounded hearing his declaration. It was from the speaker inside their room.

What the fuck?!!

Nakatingin sa kanya lahat ng mga kaklase niya maging ang professor niya. She is reeling. She felt the blood in her face drained.

"I told you so," bulong ni Cory. At sa mga ganung pagkakataon, gusto niyang saktan ang kaibigan niya.

This is so embarrassing! You are so dead, Spade Anthony!

Sa tingin ng mga kaklase niya, makikita ang iba't-ibang reaksyon. May natatawa sa kalokohan ni Spade. May walang pakialam. Mga babaeng masasama ang tingin. Mga Cards na natutuwa at nag-welcome pa sa kanya.

Shit!

Dumuko siya sa sobrang hiya. Matapos lang ang klase ko,Spade.Humanda ka sa akin.

"Class dismissed," pagtatapos ng professor niya. She quickly stood. She grabbed her bag while her two friends were just staring at her.

"What?" she snapped.

"You're not planning to confront him, right?" may pag- aalinlangan sa tinig ni Cory.

"Why, yes? Of course, I'm going to confront him. I'm sicked of tolerating his childishness," bwiset na saad niya.

"Girl, think about it, be his Ace or Ace of Heart? It's actually favorable to you. Pogi, mayaman, matalino---"

"Mayabang, isip- bata, bastos at punong- puno ng kababawan!" pagtatapos niya sa sinasabi ni Keith.

Bakit ba pabor na pabor sila kay Spade?

"So pupunta ka ng Full House?" tanong ni Cory.

"Siguradong hinihintay na niya ako dun," sagot niya. Nakita niya ang pag-aalala sa mukha ng mga kaibigan niya. She sighed. "I know you're worried. I know from the very start that he can make my life a mess as big as this but I'll be fine. The last thing I felt for him is fear and the last thing that I'm going to do in my life is to be involve with him. No way. He's Spade. The CE Bastard," paliwanag niya sa mga kaibigan niya.
