Misfit

XXI

I was doing everything slowly but surely. They will crumble. I will pull out their roots. Conspiring against me is the biggest mistake they've done.

Tahimik ako sa classroom buong araw nagbabasa ng emails. Sila naman nagpplano na for the School Fest. Never naman ako sumali do'n kaya hinahayaan ako.

"Tahimik ka ata ngayon?" Saad ni Theo habang nagugupit ng kung ano.

"Busy dahil sa work." Kumunot ang noo niya.

"Hindi ka ba nahihirapan sa workload mo? Sobrang dami pati ako nahihilo."

"Nope. Sanay na 'ko, remember?"

"Malapit na mag-lunch, do you want something to eat?"

"Bilhan mo 'ko ng kape?" Tinignan ko siya at umiling siya sa'kin.

"Lunch, Odium. Not coffee."

"Kahit ano. Ayoko ng food sa canteen."

"So saan ako bibili?" Kunot noo niya. Nagkibit balikat lang ako at binigay ko sa kan'ya ang wallet at susi ng kotse ko.

"Malay ko sa'yo. Surprise me." Sabi ko at bumalik sa pagbabasa ng emails.

"Alright."

Maya-maya pa tumunog na ang bell at umalis na din si Theo. Everyone left the classroom including A because she said she's going to the canteen to buy something. I meet niya din saw si Gwyn.

My phone vibrated and I answered it.

"Yes, Ate Jane?"

"Okay na lahat, isang bagsakan lang ba 'to?" Because that's how I do it usually. Alam na alam ni Ate Jane. Minsan hindi siya sangayon pero hinahayaan niya 'ko since ako pa din ang boss niya.

"Nope. Unti-unti. I'll make sure they'll regret what they just did."

"Alright."

"Bye."

May pumasok sa classroom, akala ko si Theo pero nagulat ako may babaeng nakatayo sa harap ko.

Tinignan ko siya at tinaasan ng kilay. Chelsea Xianon, standing in front of me. Did she get the news?

"What can I do for you Miss?" I asked.

"What did you just do?" She said accusingly.

I looked at her cluelessly like I have no idea what's going on about her.

"I don't know? Nagtatrabaho?" I said.

"My parents told me to look out for you. Not to be friends with someone like you." I smirked.

"I wouldn't to be friends with you anyway so it's mutual." Like I care about her existence at this point.

"You also should have taken their advice. Alam mo 'yon, baka ako pa dahilan ng ikabagsak niyo." I seriously said emphasizing their clan.

"I'm not scared of you, Odium. Kasi kung takot ako sa'yo sana 'di ko ginawa 'yong nangyari kay Amanda."

"Well, I didn't ask you to be scared of me. You should be scared of me, Chelsea Xianon. You haven't seen what I can do. Karma might just slap you back." Apparently I'm fucking karma.

She is looking scared pero 'yong mukha niya hindi nagbback-down.

"A girl's advice lang din, Odium Sierra. Are you sure of Theodore?" Umalis na siya bago pa 'ko naka-react. Tangina.

I'll make sure to bury their company to the ground with no chances of making their way up again.

Nawala ako mood para magtrabaho kaya pagdating ni Theo kumain agad ako. He's weirdly lookin at me.
