Bad Boy's Slave [BxB]

Chapter 6

"What do you want to eat?" Tanong ni Ethan nang makarating sila sa Cafeteria ng kanilang campus. It was now their lunch break. Sam shrugged. He doesn't actually feel like eating kaya hinayaan na lang niya na ang kaibigan ang magdesisyon.

"Okay, I'll choose. Wait me here. I'll be quick!" Inilapag ni Ethan ang gamit sa upuan bago iniwan si Sam at dumiretso sa pila ng mga estudyante na bumibili rin ng mga kakainin.

Sam stared at Ethan's back for a second before he slightly sighed. He sat down on the empty seat right in front of where Ethan's things were placed. Sam closed his eyes. Masking the world with darkness as he calmed his nerves.

For a moment he hesitated to open his eyes. He love to see nothing but a plain dark color. He love to feel the ambiance of the absence of light. He love the feeling of not seeing all the judgemental stares that directly pointed at him.

But then he knew he couldn't escape the burning stares just by that. Kahit anong gawin niya, ramdam pa rin niya ang mga mata ng kapwa niya mag-aaral na tila hindi pinapalampas ang bawat kilos na gagawin niya.

Sam mentally chuckled. Natatawa na lang siyang isipin na para siyang isang sikat na aktor kung ituring ng mga estudyante. Bawat kilos niya ay may nasasabi ang mga ito laban sa kaniya.

"Grabe, dahil sa kaniya napasabak sa gulo si President Ethan."

"Duh! Do you expect something good from someone like him?"

"Poor President Ethan. Bakit ba kasi 'yan pa 'yung napili niyang maging kaibigan?"

"Ano kayang pwedeng mangyayari kay President?"

Sam sighed. He opened his eyes. His gaze landed on the opposite table where whispers could be heard. Umiwas naman ng tingin ang tatlong babae nang mapagtanto nilang nakatingin na si Sam sa kanila. But they continued gossiping anyway. Sam bitterly smiled.

Would they even stop? Halos paulit-ulit ko nang naririnig 'yang usapan nila simula pa lang kaninang umaga.

Sam slumped his head on the table. He mentally groaned. He's feeling the effect of Ash's hit. Hindi pa nakatulong ang mga bulung-bulungan na naririnig niya. Whispers aren't that big deal for Sam but it do brought headache on him. It made him think and worry about the 'deal' na pakana ni Jet.

Alam niyang nagka-usap na sila ni Ethan patungkol sa bagay na 'yon pero hindi pa rin mawala sa isip ni Sam ang mag-alala. Besides, it's his nature.

Kasisimula pa lang ng klase pero sobrang dami na agad nang naganap. Kaya naman hindi maiwasan ni Sam na isipin lahat ng iyon na nagdulot ng katamtamang pagsakit ng kaniyang ulo. But he tried to set aside the minimal throbbing of his head.

"Sam, are you okay? May masama ka bang nararamdaman? Gusto mo dalhin kita ulit sa clinic?"

Sam lifted his head abruptly, peeking at his bestfriend who just came. Marahan siyang umiling upang iparating na wala siyang nararamdamang hindi maganda. Ngumiti rin siya upang ipakita ang pasasalamat sa concern ng kaibigan.

Ethan placed the tray of food that contains a couple of burgers, pasta, cola, and fries. Umupo ito sa harap ng kaibigan.

Sam's eyes lighted up. His mouth started to water. Though he said nothing about what he wanted to eat, Ethan bought everything that Sam would inevitably choose. Tunay na kabisado na niya ang kaibigan.

The tall boy chuckled at the small boy's reaction. Sam had his eyes wide, sparkling with glitters as he crave for the food in front of him.

His tummy growled. Namula siya nang ngumisi ang kaibigan. Agad siyang nag-iwas ng tingin. Hindi niya namalayan na napatagal na pala ang titig niya sa pagkain.
