Bad Boy's Slave [BxB]

Chapter 5

"Ethan, you don't have to do that. I can deal Jet myself." He tried to sound convincing. Trying to be sound strong and defiant. But he sounded like an awful puppy needed to be protected.

"Really?" Ethan chuckled. His brows rose questioningly. Namula naman si Sam matapos mapagtanto ang kahulugan ng ginawang pagtawa ni Ethan.

"R-Really," he whispered. He anticipated. He knew he sounded so pathetic for trying his best to act independent and daring in front of his friend. But he's just wanted to convince Ethan not to go after Jet's game. He has doubt that there's bad that might happen. He doesn't feel comfortable about the fact that Ethan would go pick a fight with the bad boy. Ayaw niyang mapahamak si Ethan. Sam would rather sacrifice his self for his bestfriend. He doesn't want to cause some quarrel between the school's president and the admin itself. Alam niyang maaring malagot si Ethan kapag nalaman ng nakatataas na nakipagbasag-ulo ito. Ethan should be a good role model. Ayaw niyang isugal ng kaibigan ang posisyon na meron ito para lang sa kaniya. Alam niyang pinaghirapan ni Ethan ang pagtakbo upang maging Presidente, at ayaw niyang madungisan ang pangalan nito nang dahil lang sa hamon ng isang gangster na gaya ni Jet.

Isa pa, ayaw ni Sam na masaktan ang kaibigan. Alam niyang matikas si Ethan at kahit paano naman ay kakayanin nitong matapatan ang lakas at postura ni Jet pero hindi maipagkakaila na mas bihasa at mas babad si Jet sa mga away at gulo. Hindi gaya ni Ethan na gumagamit ng libro, si Jet naman ay gumagamit ng kamao. Natatakot siya sa kung ano ang pwedeng gawin ng binata sa nakababata. Natatakot din siya na malaman ng mga magulang nito na nakipag-away ang anak nila para lang ipagtanggol siya. Masiyado nang maraming nagawa ang pamilya ni Ethan para sa kaniya, at ayaw niyang pati ang problema niya kay Jet ay si Ethan pa ang gagawa ng hakbang at solusyon. Ayaw rin niyang magdulot ng kahit kaunting pangamba sa puso ng mga magulang ng kaibigan. Alam niyang sobra itong mag-aalala sa oras na malaman nilang may nangyaring hindi maganda sa mahal nilang anak.

"It's okay, Sam. Don't worry too much. Wala ka bang tiwala sa akin?" Pagputol ni Ethan sa halatang nag-aalala na si Sam. Ngumiti pa ito upang ipakita na ayos lang ang lahat.

"Meron. Pero---"

"Then stop overthinking. Hindi naman ako mamatay." Tumawa siya upang tanggalin ang pag-aalala na nakapinta sa mukha ng kaibigan.

"I know. But, fighting against Jet and his friends is definitely a bad idea. Alam mo naman na wala silang sinasanto kahit na ikaw pa ang Presidente. Kahit teacher nagagawa nilang bastusin at pahirapan! Paano kung sumobra sila? Everything could be fatal! H-Hindi ko mapapatawad ang sarili ko 'pag nagkataon. Ayaw kong mapahamak ka at makitang wala akong nagawa para tulungan ka!" Sam worriedly exclaimed. That's exactly what Sam is thinking. That Ethan might end up unconscious with blood. Though, Sam haven't seen any of Jet's victims, he heard a lot of stories of how awful the aftermath of battling the King is.

Ethan grinned. Showing his complete white set of teeth. Inakbayan niya ang kaibigan tsaka mapagbirong ginulo ang buhok nito.

"Concern na concern ah!" Nakangiti nitong saad. Namula naman si Sam dahil sa ginawa ni Ethan. Though it was just a friendly gesture. He can't deny the awkwardness from that situation. Plus, his body reacts unwillingly to his own desire. Physical touch could easily make his body flustered. "Don't stress yourself that much. You're being paranoid again. H'wag kang mag-alala, hindi ko hahayaan na madaplisan ni Jet. Sayang 'tong gwapo kong mukha," Ethan laughed though there's nothing to laughed at.

"Tsaka isa pa, they'll never do things that could get them in the neck. Don't worry, Sam. I'll beat Jet's ass for you" Muli itong tumawa. Hinampas naman siya ni Sam sa braso.

"I'm serious, Ethan. Bakit pa kasi kailangan mo siyang patulan? There's no point for fighting him. You don't have to show that you're stronger than him. Only those who's lack of knowledge ang papatol sa mga bagay na gaya n'on," Sam lectured.
