Death Grip (On-going)

DEATH GRIP: CHAPTER FIFTEEN

So ibig sabihin, close sila Leanne kina Bella? Wow.. I wonder kung anong itsura nila pag magkakasama.

After several talks, nagdecide kami na dumiretso na sa foyer to take our lunch. Mabilis lang naman naming narating ang foyer and I saw the same three horizontal tables below.

The three of them proceeds to the middle table samantalang ako naman, mabagal na pinuntahan ang empty table ng Class A. I sighed as I take my seat. Mamaya lang nandito na yung dalawa.. Ako ba unang magaapproach? Hays.

I roam my eyes toward the Class Q's table. Half of it are already full, sunod sunod pa din ang dating ng ibang mga estudyante. Nahagip ulit ng mata ko si Andrea. She's looking at me suspiciously. I tried to smile at her but she immediately turn her gaze away from me. From somewhere, a girl was raising her hand at me and notices na sya yung babae kanina na sinabihan ni Leanne para puntahan at sabihin sakin na gising na si Lance. She's smiling at me and I just nod.

Moments later, Wilson twins arrived. They sat across my seat, facing me. My body started to shake as I saw Bella. Both of them seem not to wonder why am I sitting with them. I felt lonely all of a sudden. Pakiramdam ko, wala lang ako para sakanilang dalawa.

"Good afternoon dear students. This moment I would like to know how was the Exhigriptonial Matchup's registration  is going." Supereminent Demetrio greeted. The foyer became loud instantly but being away from the death grip, and by the pressure that the Wilson twins is giving me, hindi ako nagpadala sa ingay and had never tore my gaze at the front.

"Master Cleor?" A thin and balding man step forward towards the square table as the Supereminent motioned him to come.

"Thank you Supereminent. Now, I am here to announce the chosen students who will gonna be fighting for championship in Exhigriptonial Matchup."

Mabilis kong tiningnan si Clarence sa kabilang table and as usual, he looks really excited, suppressing a wide grin he could muster. Lance looked excited as well but not that much compare to Clarence. Leanne wasn't facing me kaya di ko makita kung ano ang reaction nya.

"For Class Progression; the three of them will going to join." Master Cleor announce followed by applause and shouts from the other students mostly from the Class Q.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Nababaliw na ba sila? Bakit sila sumali!? Gusto na ba nila mamatay!!!?

"As for Class Qualified, we've got seven participants. But since Class Progression got only three students, four of you will be terminated to compete." He explained eyeing the Class Q's table na gumawa ng disappointed sounds. Napangiwi ako. Tsk, ano ba naman to wala na naman akong maintindihan..

"Per class ang labanan sa ExhiMatch."

My head jerked towards Red who's not looking at me. I blinked. D-did he just talked to me? Feeling my mouth being open, I closed it immediately bago pa nila ko makita sa ekspresyong hindi makapaniwala. Binalik ko na lang yung tingin ko sa square table while gulping.

"Class Q representatives are as follows; Zheleah Hugh, Anton Sprout and Andrea Stanford."

Another booming noises filled out the whole place. No one knows if it's excitement, disappointment, or mixed. I can see Andrea smirking and beaming from here. Students around her is either tapping her on shoulder or looking at her admiringly while clapping their hands. I gulped once again. Hindi ko talaga makita ang magandang dahilan para sumali sa ExhiMatch na yon. It's totally risky and all of them could die, bakit sila natutuwa at naeexcite!?

"Class A students will fight as well. The fighters are complete! Good luck to all dear students." Sabi ni Master Cleor leaving the square table and heading back to his spot.
