*Cerulean's Point of View
"I told you, you'll never get away with this."
Agad naman akong umilag nang makitang aambahan niya na ako ng patalim at mabilisang lumipat sa likod niya, sabay sipa sa likod ng tuhod hiya para mawalan siya ng balanse. That should do it. I throw away my bag and loosen my necktie as I face them off.
They are way more irritating than those knocks on my door every morning.
Where am I, exactly? At the back of the university where I entered the first day.
Oh, and what feeling should you exactly feel after seeing some bastards from hell showing off with their douche faces in front of you just to get their revenge from what you did to them?
'Cause, it's actually what I am feeling right now. They're lucky enough that my brothers aren't with me today, again.
Trust me, they wouldn't want to know.
Hindi kasi ulit ako sumabay sa mga kapatid ko papuntang university dahil bukod sa ayoko talaga, may kailangan pa akong asikasuhin.
Isang malakas na sipa sa leeg ang ginawa ko kaya napalayo sila sa akin ng ilang layo. They are breathing endlessly while looking at me with their desired eyes to take revenge, making me form my smirk in front of their eyes.
"Tired already?"I mocked directly, as I play with my combat knife between my fingers while circling around them.
My reflexes went rushingly flow through my veins after I sensed one of them approached me from behind. Tinarak ko kaagad ang patalim na hawak ko sa may binti niya at agad siyang tinulak papalayo sa akin nang hindi niya ako madungisan ng dugo niya.
Man, this is the first time that I'm wearing my uniform and they will just stain it with their blood? Tsk.
"But, you're just about to get what you deserve."
After what I said, my eyes went completely blank and dark as if I can't feel anything right now, but to do what they unknowingly asked from me.
1, 2, 3, 4... They are exactly around 15 taking down 2 which makes them 13 already in front of me.
I must say, they sure are unbelievable. I mean, going all here just to get back at me? These bastards should be grateful that I need some exercise in the morning. I needed to shove off all the stress coming from my researches about Ms. Carter's situation, anyway.
"You're exactly what she said."
Napaharap ako sa isang lalaking nagsabi 'non at sabay nginisian siya nang maintindihan ko ang gusto niyang sabihin. I threw off my combat knife towards him which he lately dodged. Sumigaw siya na mas lalong ikinalaki ng ngisi ko.
"Will take that as a compliment."I mockingly said.
"B-but you'll a-always be that girl to be b-blamed from the p-past."
Halos napantig ang tenga ko sa narinig ko mula sa kaniya, na naging dahilan para mawala ako sa wisyo ng ilang minuto. I looked at the man who said that with my eyes still completely blank and dark, but my insides are not participating.
Pakiramdam ko ay umiikot ang nilalaman ko nang dahil sa sinabi niya.
The past. How could I forget the reason of who I truly am? How could I ever forget the past that made me who am I today?
Tumingin ako sa kamay ko na halos mapuno na ng dugo mula sa mga lalaking 'to. Biglang nanginig ang mga kamay ko nang wala sa oras na parang hindi ako makapaniwalang nagawa ko 'to at parang una kong beses na makakita ng dugo.
I felt my body stiffened as I looked at my hands.
Ramdam na ramdam ko ang paglaki ng mata ko na parang nababaliw na ako at parang ngayon lang halos pumasok sa isip ko kung anong ginawa ko sa kanila.
Control it, Cerulean. You-
"SKATEBOARD GIRL!"
And as if in a flash, I regained back my senses, only to realize there was a trench knife coming my way. I was frozen to the ground and didn't know what to do, that's why the only thing I did was to watch it as it continuously approaches me.
I close my eyes and was about to dodge it, not until a strong grip of arms suddenly wrapped around me that made me eventually, dodged the weapon. Nang dahil doon ay napamulat ako at tinignan kung sino ang gumawa 'non.
It was that guy, Zackyro. Right?
After what happened, I noticed those monkeys shoving off their ways. Napakuyom ako ng kamao at walang malay na napairap nalang.
"Stupid."Napantig naman ang tenga ko na naging dahilan para ma-realize ko kung ano ang pwesto namin, kaya agad ko siyang sinipa.
"Oohh~"Napatingin naman ako sa tatlo niya pang kasama nang marinig ko 'yon. I bluntly rolled my eyes and just decided to fix myself, so I could get the hell out of here.
Nilapitan ko agad yung bag ko na nakahilata sa isang tabi at may pasya na sanang umalis nang bigla na naman nila akong harangin sa daan.Tinaasan ko ulit sila ng kilay nang makita ang ginawa nila. Wala akong balak makipagpatintero sa kanila, kaya ano na naman ba ang problema ng mga lalaking 'to?
"You're coming with us."Mas lalo ko silang tinaasan ng kilay at tinignan ng seryoso.
Magsasalita na sana ako na wala akong panahon sa mga katulad nila nang biglang sumingit yung isa sa kanila na halos wala atang problema sa mundo sa laki palagi ng ngiti tuwing nakikita ko silang apat.
"Teka, magpakilala muna kasi tayo."Tumingin siya sa akin. I rolled my eyes, once again.
"Hi skateboard girl! I'm Axellous. Just call me, Axe."One of them who's wearing a bandana extended his hand, which I just watched it that made him refrain from what he wants.
They already know my name, why still call me skateboard girl? Napailing nalang ako.
"Ryderick at your service, just Rye."He bowed at me after removing his hoodie.
Tinignan ko lang siya.
"Hue."Nakipagtitigan naman ako sa kaniya dahil balak niya ata akong subukan.
This geek guy has definitely have an unknown grudge against me. Nilipat ko ang tingin ko sa lalaking kanina ko pa nararamdamang nakatitig sa akin.
He's wearing his wireless earphones while looking at me with his stern eyes like I'm his student, but I repay him with my cold stare.
Umiwas agad siya ng tingin na naging dahilan naman para magsitawanan ng mahina sina Axe at Rye.
"And that guy is Zackyro. Zack, for short."From what I heard, I grin after hearing their names.
Napameywang ako sa harapan nila at tinignan sila bawat isa pagkapos nilang magpakilala.
Eye to eye. Mas lalo akong napangisi ng patago.
Damn Crimson, you're absolutely right. I really wouldn't have to suffer.
It is so not nice to meet you, boys. But finally, in the flesh.
