Chapter 23

Lost Boy

  

I was dismissed on my tracks when I bumped into a group of students walking on the way.

Dahil hindi pa rin nahihimasmasan sa nangyari kanina, paulit-ulit akong yumuko bilang paumanhin bago sila lagpasan. Iyon nga lang, mabilis akong naharangan ng dalawa sa kanila.

"Oops! Where are you going?"

A familiar bitchy voice penetrated my senses. Sa mabilis na sandaling iyon, napabuga ako ng hangin sabay dasal sa lahat ng santo.

Are you kidding me? Weren't my problems enough? Pwede po bang dahan-dahan lang?

"It's my pleasure to bumped into Ms. Pop of the Year!" si Bridgette Madrigal kasama ang mga minion niya sa Quartepopella.

Umayos ako ng tayo at hinarap sila. Wala akong ganang tinignan sila isa-isa samantalang nagngingitngit na ata sa galit ang kanilang lider, pilit na lang ang pagkasa sa ngisi.

She snorted. "You know what? You should be thankful that I was busy the past days and I fortunately found you here."

Was that something to be thankful for? Patagal nang patagal, pabigat nang pabigat ang nararamdaman ko.

I wanted to go somewhere far from here to breathe but fate just wouldn't easily allow me off the hook.

Sa huli, pagod na lang akong pumikit at tumango.

"Yes, very thankful. My life was at ease the past days, too," I lied to take my turn to throw a banter.

Of course, that's not true. Bridgette Madrigal was only a fraction of fragment of my overall problems and trivial predicaments.

But because of that, the princess went postal and ready to lash my neck when she advanced.

"You're a fucking harlot! You took my boyfriend away from me, you filthy whore!"

Mabilis siyang pumorma na para bang sasabunutan ako nang naunahan ko siya sa pagtulak sa kanya. Nasalo siya ng tatlo niyang kabanda, pulang-pula na ang balat dahil sa pinaghalong galit at puwersa.

I glared at her with condemn.

"Rave Jackson is neither my boyfriend nor your boyfriend. Grow up, stupid! Wake up from your fucking daydreams and stop pestering me like a leech!" I blurted out when I couldn't bottle it up anymore.

My breathing turned heavier than usual. Bridgette's eyes flickered with fire and gnashed her teeth tightly.

Winaksi niya ang hawak sa kanya ng mga kasama at muling sumugod nang agresibo sa akin.

"Take it back! He loves me! I know that!"

"Oh, my gosh. I don't care!" I scoffed.

Ngunit pagkalapit niya, mabilis akong napadaing nang naramdaman ang kalmot sa braso ko. Fucking hell!

Parang nag-aapoy na ang mga mata kong nilingon siya. How dare she scratched my skin!

I was in the middle of puckering my eyebrows and lifting my gaze when I saw her fast approaching hand.

My pupils dilated when I realized it's too late to evade. Shit! I closed my eyes immediately, accepting my fate to feel the pang on my left cheek but instead, a groan reverberated.

"What the? Let go of my hand!" sigaw ni Bridgette.

Unti-unti kong minulat ang mga mata. The color drained out of my face the moment I laid my eyes to Ezra, grabbing Bridgette's right hand almost just an inch from me.
