BCS 1: Love and Death

Chapter 4

"BITCH, OPEN the goddamn door!" hiyaw ni Ayara sa labas habang panay ang suntok at sipa sa pintuan ng dorm ni Lexi. Lexi closed her notebook and tapped her pen, finally done for the day. Today was a hectic day, not to mention the amount of home works and the shits that happened this morning.

She stretched her arms before making her way to her bestfriend, who was now making a fucking scene in front of her goddamn dorm. Pagkabukas na pagkabukas niya ng pinto ay singhal agad ni Ayara ang bumungad sakanya. "What took you so long? I just bought these shoes and it was almost ruined by all the kickings."

"No one told you to do so." walang ganang sagot ni Lexi, she was too tired to entertain even her beloved bestfriend. "Anyways, what are you doing here? Nagbaon ka pa ng unan."

"I'm sleeping with you, tonight."

"Oh, no you're not."

"Yes, i am."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

Lexi sighed in defeat. "Fine." she dryly said and Ayara chuckled in victory. She's too tired to argue. "You still can't stay with Coleen, can you?" inaantok na tanong ni Lexi sa kaibigan at pabagsak na inihiga ang sarili sa kama.

Coleen Bennett, 20. Was now in 2nd year college and is taking civil engineering. An alpha bitch, was Ayara's dormmate and worst enemy.

Alpha bitch, what a name!

Ayara and Coleen didn't really get along well. They hated each other since day one. They may have a lot of things in common, yet, they still hate each other to death.

"That's not it. Nasa States ngayon si Coleen, doon na siya magtatapos." ani Ayara at umupo sa kama.

"Isn't it great?" tanong ni Lexi. "I mean, you're now out of here shoe, shouldn't you be throwing a party?"

"Not if your new dormmate is Dexter." naiinis at pabulong na sabi ni Ayara ngunit sapat na iyon para marinig ni Lexi. Gulat namang napaupo si Lexi at tiningnan ang kaibigan.

"Ano? That's crazy, bitch. We all know that's against the school rules!"

"I know right. Ang weird nga eh. Tch." kitang kita sa mga mata ni Ayara ang inis.

"Could it be that Dexter asked for it? I mean, father niya ang isa sa mga mayari ng school, diba?"

"No, we all know how much he hates his surname, in fact, that's the reason why he's in Morte, right? He'll never use his father's money just for his own good." ani Ayara at tumango tango nalang si Lexi. She had a point. "Why would he, anyways? Just to be with me? Hell no, si Dexter? Pfft, eh mas manhid pa yon kesa sa bato eh."

"May gusto ka ba sakanya?" pagpaprangka ni Lexi sa kaibigan dahilan para gulat itong tumingin sakanya. Bigla namang namula ang mga pisngi nito.

Umiwas ng tingin si Ayara. "B-bitch, what the fuck are you talking about? Of course n-not!"

Napangisi si Lexi. "Bat ka nauutal?"

"Who is?" hindi parin makatingin ng deretso ang dalaga sa kaibigan. Natatawang napailing nalang si Lexi. Somebody has been hitted by cupid's arrow...

"COME ON, Lexi. Minsan na nga lang ako humingi ng pabor eh!" pangungulit ni Ayara at bahagya pang yinugyog si Lexi. Napapikit nalang sa inis si Lexi. Ayara just left her fucking blanket in her dorm, and she's been bothering Lexi to get it for her. "Sige na, ayoko ng bumalik don."

"No." mabilis na sagot ni Lexi at itinakip ang unan sa mukha para hindi na niya marinig ang pangungulit ng kaibigan.

"I'll settle with yours, then." mas mabilis pa sa kidlat na bumangon ang dalaga mula sa pagkakahiga ng marinig niya ang sinabi ng kaibigan.

"Sabi ko nga, kukunin ko na." anito sabay suot sa tsinelas. Ayaw niya sa lahat ay ang humihiram sa mga gamit niya. Wala lang, trip niya lang.

Geez, I seriously need to stop being so selfish.

"BILIS NA, dre." natatawang sabi ni Jonathan at bahagya namang ngumuso si Thaddeus.

"Pwede bang iba nalang, Nate? Mukha akong clown na nirape sa itsura kong to." ani Thaddeus ngunit tinawanan lang siya ni Elthon at Jonathan. Habang si Trigger naman... don't even ask.

Kasalukuyan silang nasa bagong dorm ni Thaddeus at naglalaro ng drink or dare kasama ang bagong babae ni Jonathan, si Kate. Kay Thaddeus tumapat ang bote, at kailangan niyang lumibot sa buong building with a fucking make up on.

At kapag hindi niya iyon magawa ay kailangan niyang inumin ang ketsup with mustard and water, made by the one and only, Elthon. "I guess you'll be the first to taste my masterpiece, then." nakangising ani Elthon.

"Tsk." singhal ni Thaddeus at wala nalang siyang ibang nagawa kundi ang magpahila sa dalawang tarantadong kaibigan.

Pagkabukas na pagkabukas nila ng pintuan ay kasabay din noon ang pagbukas ng pintuan sa kabilang kwarto.

And once he saw who it was, his body stiffened. Those familiar brown eyes. It was Lexi, again.
