I heavily surrendered myself from tiredness and let the comfort of my bed scotch my body. Ipinikit ko ang aking mga mata at bumuntong-hininga para mas ilabas ko pa ang aking pagod. Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto, bumangon ako para kunin ang aking cellphone. Surfing through facebook, I sighed in disbelief by what I am witnessing right now.
Trending na ang 'Running wearing boxer only' video naming dalawa ni Keegan. Even though hours just passed by, parang boung mundo na ang nakapanood nito. Pagkatapos ng challenge na iyon, hindi ako makapaniwala sa natanggap naming clue: A photo of Tiffany smiling like a bitch.
Like fuck! Ano ang gagawin namin sa litratong yon? Didilaan namin? Gagawin naming missing photo, dead or alive? Ipapatrabaho namin?
For pete sake! I ruined my reputation just to get a single photo from the campus most wasted and bitches student? Like double fuck!
Napapikit ako.
I sighed once again and went off to my bed. Napagpasyahan kong maligo para tanggalin ang inis. Pagkatapos non, nagbihis ako at bumalik sa aking kama. From there, I'm thinking about the clue that the texter gave to us. Even though the half of it is I'm pissed, but there's also part of me thinking what's behind that photo. 'Di kaya siya ang isusunod nilang ki-kidnappin? Could it be?
Suddenly, my mind switch back when my phone blared. Kinuha ko ito and saw a message from an another cellphone number. With curiosity, tiningnan ko ito.
After your first class, meet me in my office tomorrow morning. P.S. From your handsome boyfriend, Keegan
For a second, I really thought it was the texter. But guess what? It's just Keegan. Wait? How come he knows my cellphone number? At ano ang sinabi niya: from the most handsome boyfriend?
"Boyfriend niya mukha niya!" Ibinalik ko ang aking cellphone at stretched my entire body. I'm really sleepy and tired. I need to rest my ass off.
As I starting to enter my sleep, my phone blared again. Inis akong bumangon ng kunti at kinuha ito.
By the way, sweet dreams, Ian. -Keegan

Nong pumasok ako sa paaralan, bumungad sa akin ang hindi mabilang na mga mata. I decided to take my earphones and plug it into my phone to distract me from their gossips and rumors. Kahit naiilang, nagpatuloy ako sa paglakad. Now, I'm walking inside the school with my reputation ruined.
Pagkarating ko sa classroom, mas malala pa pala ang aking nasaksihan. Akalain mo? Hindi pa pinalampas ang pagkuha ng litrato sa akin. Like, sikat naba ako? Is this the start of me being famous? Damn shit!
When I sit on my chair, a double tap get my attention so I turned my head around. It's Niana. Slowly, I rid of my earphone.
"You need some explaining you little moron." Pumunta siya sa kabilang upuan at umupo. I sighed heavily and looked at her. She's giving the what-are-you-waiting-for-look, making me disbelief of how she ended up getting some curiosity to what I did yesterday.
"You don't need to know. Alam kong hindi ka naman interesado," I said.
"Anong hindi interesado? Sikat kana! I mean kayong dalawa ni Keegan. Kung inaakala mo na hindi ako magtatanong sa ginawa niyong pagtakbo kahapon sa campus field habang sout-sout lamang ang boxer ay nagkakamali ka." I hissed at her dahil sa lakas ng boses niya. Ito talagang babaeng to!
"Oo na! Oo na! Magpapaliwanag na ako!" irap kong sabi at nginitian lang ako ng bruha. Sasabihin ko ba na may unknown texter na nagbibigay sa amin ng command as an exchange of clues? Did Keegan say that no one must to know about this? Napalunok ako.
"Aah...It's...a punishment. Oo...punishment yon sa aming dalawa ni Keegan..." paninimula ko, "...because...naalala mo yong araw na nakidnapped si Shaina? Nandoon rin si Keegan! Oo, nandoon siya. Dahil sa wala kaming nagawa, the office committee punished us...Yon. Oo, yon!"
I couldn't help but to clenched my fist by what I explained to her. My throat is like soaking out of saliva because of nervousness. Hindi ko alam kong mapapaniwala ko siya pero sana, sapat na iyon at bumaliktad yong utak niya para paniwalaan yong sinabi ko.
Suddenly, she nodded and gave me slight serious looked. I awkwardly laugh and gulp dreadfully. Then after it, she snapped her fingers.
"Grabeh!" nagulat ako.
"Did the school committee really give that kind of punishment?" Parang tumalon sa gulat yong kaluluwa ko kanina. I secretly sigh and tumango sa tanong niya.
"Yeah," I said and smile a bit to her.
"Pero paano niyo nagawa yon? Hindi mo lang ba inisip na masisira ang reputasyon ninyong dalawa?"
"Actually, it's completely ruined. Hindi na masisira dahil kahapon palang, sira na 'to," I uttered. "At oo, nag-isip ako bago ko ginawa ang bagay na iyon. But let the flow of my fate decided my future, dahil sa simula palang, alam kong makakabuti ito...sa lahat."
Hindi na tumugon si Niana dahil biglang dumatingang first teacher namin para kumaripas siya pabalik sa upuan niya. By what Isaid earlier, whether I wanted or not, alam kong mapipilitan kong gawin angginawa namin kahapon. Yesterday is a hundred percent of embarrassment but Iknow for myself that in the last part of this mission, Keegan and I will savemy asses.
After my first class, the bell rang. I stood up, walked outside, and went toKeegan's office. Pagkarating ko doon, bukas ang pintuan. Kaya, dumiretso ako sapaglakad at pumasok sa loob.
"Anything wrong?" bungad niya sa akin. All along, I was walking completelyshoulders down and lips drowned. Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya at umiling.
"Nothing," bulong ko at pumunta doon sa upuan.
"Kung iniisip mo ang reputasyon mo, naiintindihan ko. Ako din, iniisip ko rinyong sa akin. Pero kung hindi natin 'yon gagawin, sino ang gagawa?" Nag-angatako ng tingin sa kanya.
"What we did yesterday was the start to solve this long cased of the missingstudents. It takes effort and maybe, ruining our reputation just to unravel it.I know it's hard but look on the bright side, we have our first clue."
"And it's a photo of Tiffany? Ano naman ang gagawin natin? Ililigtas natin siyapara hindi siya makidnap?"
"Exactly," at bigla akong napukaw. "Mula sa litratong 'yon, ibig sabihin na siTiffany ang magiging next target nila. Pero ang mahirap, hindi natin alam kungkailan at saan sila aatake." Bigla niyang inibigay ang ang folder na natanggapnamin kahapon kaya kinuha ko ang litrato sa loob.
"Ang dapat nating gawin ngayon ay sundan and watch Tiffany wherever she goes.Dapat alam natin kung saan siya pupunta."
"In short, we need to stalk her?" I sarcastically said and he smiled. "Parang ganon nanga but stalking wouldn't be enough. I think we need to go to her at hihingi ng isang favor." Napakunot ang noo ko.
"You'll see," he said with a smirked drawn to his lips.
Lumabas kaming dalawa ni Keegan at pumunta sa Faculty ni Tiffany which is Medicine by the way. Pagkarating namin don, hindi naman nawala ang mga gossipsnila. Nong tumingin ako kay Keegan, he seemed so fine at parang wala lang sakanya. So by the confidence he showed, parang nagkaroon ako ng lakas naipagwalang bahala ang mga naririnig ko sa paligid.
Keegan knows where Tiffany's classroom is and by that, I'm thankful enough because we don't need to bother someone for guidance. Pagkarating sa classroomniya, doon na ako nagtanong.
"Nandito ba si Tiffany?" tanong ko doon sa isang babae na abala sa kanyang cellphone. She just shrugged me at pinagpatuloy ang kanyang ginagawa. Rude!
Tumingin ako kay Keegan at kinibit-balikat lang niya ako. "Let me handle this," he whispered at pumunta doon sa babae.
"Excuse miss, is Tiffany is here?" Oh no! Not the charming eyes, sweet smile,and shallow dimple. Pagtingin ko doon sa babae ay bigla itong ngumiti.
"Yes. Nasa loob siya..."
"Keegan is my name," at mas lalong lumawak ang kanyang ngiti.
"Nasa loob siya Keegan. Wait, tatawagin ko lang siya ha. Stay kalang diyan." Tumayoyong babae at pumasok sa loob. Bumalik naman si Keegan sa aking tabi atkinindatan pa ako.
"Hindi pa rin nagbabago. Effective parin," iling-iling kong banggit.
"Yeah, even you nahulog ka din sa mga ganoon ko."
"Gago!"
Pagkaraan ng ilang sandali, bumalik yong babae na dala-dala parin yong ngiti sakanyang labi. Mula sa likod, binangga siya ni Tiffany dahil nakaharang ito sadaan niya.
"Yes? What can I do?" tanong niya na may sinusubong lollipop. How pathetic!Even a lollipop, she's using it as a practice toy. Aakamang magsasalita na sanaako pero biglang siyang nagsalita ulit.
"Wait, I remembered both of you. Kayo 'yong trending na trending ngayon dahilsa pagtakbo habang nakasout lang ng boxer." She let out her lollipop, licked onit, and narrowed her eyes down to Keegan.
"Can we ask a favor?" sabi ko upang matigil ang malaswang imahinasyon niya atbumaling sa akin.
"What? Is it about sex?" Napalunok ako. Gago pala ang bruhang to e! Hayok nahayok sa sex. "Ah no," sagot ko at napairap naman siya. "Then what is it that you want?"
"Would you be my girlfriend?" I froze out. Mula sa narinig ko galing sa bosesni Keegan, I immediately looked at him and saw, looking to Tiffany. Napalunokako. I don't know but my heart is trembling by what I heard.
"Yes! Yes!" talon sa sayang sagot ni Tiffany at niyakap si Keegan. Aakamangmagsasalita na sana ako nang biglang tumunog ang aking cellphone kaya kinuha koito and found a message from the unknown texter. Feeling something weird is like a fist of your hand, not sure what to do. So,get ready for the next command because it will be steamy just for you.
