Protectors of the Campus Royalties

Chapter 31- Rivals

Kath's pov

"Thank you so much for your cooperation students. Congratulations to every winners! Enjoy your night!"

Mabilis ako lumabas mula sa room. Di ko na pinansin lahat ng mga congratulations mula sa mga estudyanteng nadadaanan ko.

Finally, I'm hella tired. 

The sun's already setting and I'm starving. 

Excited na akong umuwi ng may malalaang problema.

Paano ako uuwi?

Nauna na yung tatlo para sa training nung trainees. For sure wala ni isa kanila ang may hawak na cellphone. Nakisakay lang naman ako kay Stella pagkatapos ko maligo at bumalik para sa art copetition. Tatawagan ko na lang si manong.

Kinuha ko yung cellphone ko at uminit ang ulo. Walang cellphone si manong. 

Yung kambal kaya?

Sinubukan ko silang tawagan pero out of reach. Bwisit. I tried calling Xavier. Pero wala din. 

Calling Lucas is not an option.

Napabuntog hininga ako. Magtataxi na lang ako. 

I looked through my bag to get my wallet. 

Nasan na yun? I rummaged through every nook and cranny of my sling bag but nothing.

NANADYA KABA KAMALASAN?!

Handa na akong suntukin ang pinakamalapit na pader ng may biglang yumakap sa akin.

"Ate! Congrats!"

Napatingin ako sa medyo maliit na pigura na yumakap sa akin. Her jet black hair immediately gave it away and my heart started beating rapidly again.

"Thanks Zabrina." Kumalas siya ng yakap at ngumiti sa akin ng pagkalaki laki. 

Ibang iba sa Zabrina na nakikilala ko nung isang araw. But anyway she's cute. I'm probably going to say that at least a hundred times. 

"Do you need something?" Pinakiramdaman ko yung paligid at napabuntog hininga sa sarili ng mapansing wala yung kuya niya.

Am I suppose to feel disappointed or relief?

Kumunot yung noo niya at napanguso sa akin. Buti na lang cute siya. 

"Did you forget already? You promised to help me pick my dress for the school's anniversary!" Oh crap! I forgot about that.

"Uh...." Do I want to say yes or no? Arghhh!

I don't want to disappoint her and I really want to help her pick her dress or gown. 

But I don't want to say yes because.......of her brother.

Wait. Bakit naman sasama yung isang yun?

"Don't bother her Zabrina. She's busy." There goes my heart.

Sabay kaming napatingin kay Zion na naglalakad papalapit sa amin. Pero agad din ako nag-iwas ng tingin ng magtama ang mga mata namin. 

"Busy ka po ba ate?" Am I busy?

She looked at me pleadingly. 

"Hindi naman." Her whole face beamed.

"Hinda naman daw kuya. Sige na ate, please?" She gave me those puppy eyes and I knew I wouldn't be able to say no. 

"Why does it have to be her Zab? I already asked Isabella to help you." Kumunot ang noo ko. At biglang uminit ang ulo ko. 

"But, I-" Pinutol ko si Zabrina at tumingin sa kanya ng diretso.
