Another eternity later, narating namin ang backdoor ng cafeteria. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nagpapa-uto sa superstitions niya pero umaasa akong mawawala ang pagsinok ko. Gan'on ako ka-desperada.
"Ano na?" He leaned over and took my hair pin. He asked me to use my phone as a flashlight, then he started picking the lock.
What on earth..?! Criminal yata 'to! In a second, the clicking sound snapped, indicating the padlock was unlocked.
"Dali na!" Pumasok kami at hinanap ang refrigerator. Fortunately, it was huge and we noticed it easily. Kumuha ako ng isang itlog at hinila niya agad ako palabas. Baka may makahuli pa sa'min. We waited for a minute and my hiccups really stopped. It works!
"Fucking told you so," he boasted and smirked.
"Quit the f-word!" I hissed and rolled my eyes.
"Fucking okay!" he responded mockingly.
Sooner or later, I will clean his tongue using steel wool. Let's see if you can swear.
"What's your name?" I asked to break the silence.
"Zhask Lysander, you?" he said almost hesitantly.
"Jayshie Zin Velasquez." Hindi na siya nagsalita pa. Natahimik siya at tinalikuran ako. Sumunod ako sa kaniya dahil hindi ko naman alam ang ruta dito.
"Ouch!" What's with the students here suddenly stopping when someone's behind them? His sudden stop caused my face to land on his back.
"Jayshie..." he half-whispered.
"What?" I asked, irritated as my temple twitched. Sakit kaya sa mukha! He hushed me and instructed me to listen to my surroundings.
"Did you hear that?" he whispered.
Pakikiramdam ako sa paligid pero wala naman akong naririnig. Tinatakot niya lang ata ako at ayoko no'n!
Nagsisimula na akong matakot kahit nagbibiro lang siya. "It's not funny, Zhask!" I hissed at him.
"Shit! May tao ba d'yan?" a baritone voice inquired from nowhere. Nanlaki ang mata ko nang lingunin ang pinanggalingan ng boses. Hindi ko maaninag ang mukha niya dahil madilim pero kitang-kita kong nakapatong siya sa isang katawang puno ng dugo.
First Adrielle, now this? What's with this school? Dahil sa silweta lang nila nakikita ko, I can't make up who the individuals were. I was filled with resentment, and binalak ko lapitan sino man iyon.
Pupuntahan ko sana siya at sasapakin pero hinila ako ni Zhask at tinakpan niya ang bibig ko. We hid behind the thick pine tree. Ang takot na naramdaman ko ay nawala n'ung nalaman kong tao lang pala, what a relief, akala ko multo.
"Sino 'yan? Gusto mong ikaw ang sumunod?" Kakaiba ang boses niya na mistulang gumagamit siya ng voice changer.He was wearing a thick black coat, a black hoodie, and boots.
He nearly caught us when a cat jumped onto him. His attention was diverted by the black cat. "Oh, it's you, Akai." The interjection gave us the chance to escape quietly.
Hindi ko alam kung saan kami dumaan pero nakarating kami sa labas ng school. Zhask suggested na sa condo niya na lang muna kami tumuloy dahil malayo pa ang boys' and girls' dorm. Sumakay na lang kami ng taxi kasi nasa parking lot ang sasakyan niya.
