Rianne's POV


Mahimbing na ang tulog ko nang may tumunog. Ugh. Ano na naman kaya ito?

Jian calling...

"Hello?" irita kong pagsagot sa phone.

Istorbo naman kasi. Halos tatlong oras pa lang ang tulog ko dahil sa session kanina sa Gangster University.

"Dem, where the fuck are you? Lalaban pa tayo sa Hysteria."

Nawala naman ang antok ko nang marinig ko iyon.

"Huh? Ngayon ba 'yon?"

"Duh?! 3:18 na. 3:30 AM ang laban!"

"Dammit! Why didn't you remind me kanina sa GU?"

"Oh, you're seriously not blaming this on me?!" mataray nitong sagot. I bet she even rolled her eyes.

"Tsk. Whatever. Saan ulit 'yan?"

I heard her sigh. "Sa Bellberry Soccer Field, Dem. Weren't you listening when we discussed about this?"

"Bellberry? You mean our subdivision?"

"The exact same. Dalian mo na siz!"

"Fine! Tsk." I ended the call.

Sinilip ko si Vruha at bumulong, "siguro naman tulog ka talaga 'no?"

Kinapa ko ang noo niya. Tss. May lagnat nga talaga siya. Hindi kasi inaalagaan ang sarili.

I changed into a black halter top and some leggings. Tapos ay nag-apply ako ng kaunting make-up, nag-unat ng buhok, at sinuot ang JJ accessories.

What if magpa-rebond na lang ako para dumali ang buhay?

Nang nakatakas na ako sa bahay ay dumiretso ako sa soccer field. Buti na lamang at medyo malayo ito sa block namin. I can't have any of my family members find me in this kind of scene.

"At last, Dem!" salubong sa akin ni Jian.

"Oh? Kumpleto na pala kayo," ngisi ng leader ng kalaban.

They're a 5-women gang called Hysteria. They challenge us from time to time outside both GU and the underground battles.

Unlike the recent battles we fought, this fight is neither for fun nor the rankings. This is about their personal vendetta.

Matagal na kasi silang insecure sa position ng Jili Juri sa gangster world, at hindi sila tumitigil hangga't hindi sila nananalo laban sa amin.

Bagay na bagay sa kanila ang pangalan nila—Hysteria.

"Obviously," Jillianne crossed her arms.

"Aba't nang-aasar ka?!" Ani nung Shaine? Shanine? Shaina?

I'm not really sure, and I don't wanna bother.

"Chill, Shaira," nakangising tawag ng leader nila. "They just haven't realized tonight's their downfall yet."

Oh? This is gonna be sooo interesting.

"You're right," gatong pa ng isa sa kanila. "We'll finally beat you arrogant bitches tonight."

I laughed coldly to mock them. "In your dreams, wannabes."

"You've tried and failed like—what—19 times... remember?" Pang-aasar ni Julia as she pretended to yawn.

"And what's up with that lame get-up?" Jian raised a brow. May suot pa kasi silang face masks at shades na parang laboratory goggles.

"Trying to be Incognito-lite or something?" Jillianne chuckled.
