Chapter 010| Kyle's POV
"Dentrix is way too far from you, Kyle. Simpleng pasasalamat lang okay na, I didn't help you for something in return, so you're welcome. Mauuna na ako, ingat ka nalang." After saying those words, she left me with no hesitation. I continued to gaze her until she entered her car and suddenly drove away.
"What a hard woman, akala mo naman napakaganda." Sabi ko at naglakad nalang din pabalik sa restau, tumakas lang kasi ako kanina kasi ako yung pinapabayad nila since ako raw yung palaging wala sa klase, hindi ako pumayag kaya sa pagtakas ko ay napadpad na ako dito, at tapos nakita ko pa si Elisha.
"Where have you been? Mukhang sinisigurado mo talagang hindi makabayad ah." Sabi ni Foster at umiling sa'kin, tinanong ko kung sinong binayad at hindi na ako nagulat nung sinabi nilang si Dentrix. Of course, milyonaryo yun eh kahit wala pang trabaho.
Suddenly Elisha came into my mind again, her expression earlier when Catherine came and suddenly kisses Lake in front of everyone, after that they vanished. Nawala sila na parang bula sa gymnasium, I excused myself as well but not because of Catherine but because of Elisha. I can feel it, that she actually has feelings for Lake.
Imposibleng wala dahil matagal na silang magkaibigan, sinundan ko sila hanggang sa napansin kong namahinga sila sa ilalim ng puno sa field, when I saw she's fine, I immediately return at the gymnasium and mu friends were looking at me as if something bad happened to me.
Tinanong nila ako if I'm okay so I said yes but they won't believe me, I admit I like Catherine Lau but it's not that much for me to be hurt. Feelings lang naman yan, nawawala din.
Tinapik ako sa balikat ni Dentrix kaya napabalik ako sa huwisyo, "You okay man? Don't worry, I have paid the bills already, you can now go home peacefully." Sabi nito kaya ay hindi ko na siya pinansin, as much as I want to ask him how did he and Elisha became friends, I kept my mouth shut, I don't want them to think that I might be into her.
"Let's go? Vintage, I have something to talk to all of you, uh Dentrix Trench don't ever think about escaping." Sedric is drop dead serious, and I am actually a bit nervous what would he say, lahat kami nagsi pasok sa kaniya kaniyang sasakyan at sumunod lang sa nauna hanggang makarating kami sa Vintage, at kung anong nakikita ko sa tuwing nagba-bar kami, times 2 pa dito.
Makakapal na usok at mga matitingkad na kulay, mga nagwawalang tao at mga nagsasayawan, amoy ng usok ng cigar at flavor ng vape, ang mga beer at ang mga perfume, at syempre ang nakakabinging tunog na nagmumula sa sound system. Hindi na ako naninibago sa ganito scenario, if I would be given a chance actually, I might build a house like this. Inakbayan ako ni Eugene at tinanong kung anong problema ko dahil nakakapanibago daw ang pagiging tahimik ko.
"Nothing. I'm not feeling well, get your fucking hands off of me." Sabi ko at tinulak siya payo sa'kin, sinamaan niya ako ng tingin at minura bago siya pumunta kay Foster at sinumbong ako, what a crybaby. Napailing nalang ako at napatigil ng umakyat kami sa ikalawang palapag ng bar.
"I thought this is important, are you fooling with us Sedric Kalen?" Marcuz is glaring at him and then Sed just smiled and gestured us to relax, "Can you please enlighten us, stop your shitness. Damn it." Something's strange about Marcuz, hindi maiksi ang pasensya niya and most of all hindi siya nagmumura kahit sa isa sa'min not unless may ginawa kaming katarantaduhan sa kaniya.
"Calm down fella, this is just a VIP room, the motel is still upstairs. Trust me, I've been there so many times so don't worry, your penis is safe. No girls." He chuckled after, I know he's teasing Marcuz and the rest of us, he open the door and let us in first.
When we are already inside, Sed order a lot of beer bucket, I sighed and leaned back to rest, I don't like what's going to happen next. "I talked to Dad yesterday. Uhm, he ask me if all of us has the same goals. So I said yes. Here, look at this." May ipinakita siya sa amin sa phone niya, it's a blueprint.
