The Great Escape

09

He stared at me for too long after that statement. I can't read his expression or anything that could give me a clue of what he's thinking right now. I'm starting to doubt what I said. Did I went overboard? Did I stepped on some lines? Was that a bad thing to say?

"Bakit ka ganyan?" he suddenly asked.

I held my chest out of surprise before looking away from him. He looked so serious and the intensity of his eyes makes me intimidated. I didn't know I can feel intimidation out of someone than the Gravell's and Cali. "What do you mean? Shouldn't I be like this?" I asked.

I hated myself for I think I'm starting to sound like Sabrina whenever Kale's being like this. I always hated how mabait Sabrina is, and how solemn and mahinhin she talks with other people. Those traits of her makes everyone feel like they can dominate her anytime they want. Gia is like that too, but the difference is, Gia surely knows how to control herself. She can be maldita and palaban if she needs to. Though she's still so proper and all.

Kale's expression slowly turned back to the normal one. That playful and nakakasakit sa ulo na aura. "Wala! Ang sabi ko, hindi bagay sa'yo maging mabait.." he mocked.

He held his tummy like he's about to die out of laughter that made me furious. This asshole!

"You prick!" I yanked his hair which made him scream.

"Aray! Palagi mo nalang ako sinasaktan!" he protested while covering himself from me. I rolled my eyes before ko siya inambahan. He raised both his hands as if surrendering so I just pouted and put my arms down.

"Alam mo? You're so panira ng moment! Let's go na nga!" I screamed before pulling him back to where the car is.

He pouted before getting the car keys from my hand. I raised my brow at him but he just shrugged and opened the shotgun seat for me. Napailing nalang ako at agad na sumakay. If he wants to drive, then I'll let him be. I can jump out of this freakish car naman whenever he starts to mess things up. I'm not risking my life here, my life is too precious ano! Boys would cry kapag nawala ako, duh!

"Kapit ka mahigpit, huwag ka bibitaw!" he said laughingly while starting the engine.

I smiled fakely at him that made him laugh. Now I know why he's so silent the moment we got in the car. He was trying to learn how to manage this thing himself so that he can drive it too. "Please don't kill the both of us," I pleaded making him hissed at me.

"Huwag kang ano! Pinag-aralan ko nga agad paano imaneho ito para hindi ka na mahirapan pauwi!" he stated that made me stop.

A sly smile appeared in my face but I just shrugged it off as I waited for us to get back in the hotel. Even though we still wanted to travel around and do some stuffs, we can't. I already contacted Matthew to lend me a private plane so I won't be stressed out with all the other people around me. It wasn't a big deal to us anyways, we always travel by private planes with the courtesy of the Chary Airlines or the ones that our rich friends own.

After few minutes, Kale parked the car infront of the hotel and I immediately saw Arjon's familiar face waiting for us. I went down without even waiting for Kale to open up my door 'cause I'm capable of doing it, why wait for him to do it anyways?

"Kamusta date?" Arjon asked.

I rolled my eyes while Kale muttered a different language before punching Arjon's arm. He winced like he was in total pain when in fact, hindi naman talaga malakas 'yon. Magkaibigan nga sila. If I were the one who punched him, I'll go straight to his jaw and do it in full force so he won't be able to mutter bullshits anymore.

"Maiwanan ka sana ng eroplano," Kale said while clasping his hands and closing his eyes.

"Siraulo, gago!" Arjon screamed before forcefully taking the car key out of Kale's hand and running away.
