"Adi." Saad ko totally cutting Shanaia off when she pointed Adi. Nanlaki ang mata niya at saka sumigaw ng malakas. Ngumiti naman ang mga lalaki. Taka ko silang tiningnan. What's the matter with mentioning his name? Is it prohibited?
"What?" Inosente kong tanong pero para silang mga sira na sabay-sabay umiling. Magtatanong pa sana ako pero hinila na ako ni Adi palayo at saka pinaupo sa isang upuan. Ngayon ko lang napansin na may malaking round table pala na nakahanda para sa aming lahat.
"Stay here. I'll get your food." Saad ni Adi at saka tumayo. Mag-iinsist pa sana ako na 'wag na kaso, agad na siyang nakalayo. Sumipol ang mga lalaki at saka dumiretso sa buffet table. Doon sila nagbulungan ng kung ano. Wala akong panahon na makialam kaya kinuha ko na lang ang phone ko sa bulsa. There are a lot of texts from Paulo. I replied before putting my phone back on my pocket. Sakto namang bumalik na si Adi dalawa ang dalawang pinggan.
"Wait, where did you guys meet?" Shanaia asked. Kaming tatlo pa lang ang nasa mesa. I smiled and elaborated our story, becoming careful about my identity. Nagkwento ako pero pinilit kong huwag mabanggit kung bakit ako nandoon. If I mentioned that it was a party for me, she'll soon realize that I belong to an elite family. Malabo namang um-attend si Adi ng party na cheap.
It ended early dahil kahit na nasa swimming team kami ay alam naman naming nasa isang international science school kami. Napakahigpit ng mga regulations dito. Bukod pa doon ay masyadong demanding ang mga subjects dahil nga competitive ang school na 'to globally. Isang bagsak na estudyante lang, siguradong laglag sa ranking ng universities worldwide.
"So, friends ka na sa swimming team?" Sigfrid asked the moment I sat on my table. I shrugged as I focused on my notes. I guess, I will be busy so, I should study hard. I wanted to be in the swimming team but that doesn't mean that I am already giving up the first spot in our grade level.
Everything goes well. At least, that's what I hope for. But when dismissal came, a group of female students approached and pulled me towards the deserted area in the university. "Your face might be so thick that you didn't feel ashamed after being selected as one of the members of the swimming team." One of the girls said. I guess, she was the leader. With a sleek eyebrows and thick red lipstick, I won't be surprised if this girl considered herself as a queen.
Instead of becoming scared, I gave her a bored look instead. I have no time to deal with spoiled brat bitches.
"Look, Tin, she has the guts to look uninterested!" A chinita girl exclaimed. They are 10 students who are flocking over me. I can escape because they look like a group of weak beings. That's what I am thinking when a group of guys suddenly came. They are the guys who I bumped into the last time. I laughed on my mind. I guess I'm going to be a battered student here. They all smirked and flashed an evil face.
"I won't be satisfied if I didn't get even." Their leader took a step nearer and whispered on a serious tone. He's staring at me intently like he was about to kill me right here, right now. If I'm not mistaken, Adi called him Nazz. Now, I don't think I can escape.
A guy with a blonde highlight on hair held my right arm and the other guy held my left. Do they think I can escape with their number right now? Not mentioning that I am also a girl. But even I feel like I am doomed, I didn't feel any fear. Maybe I wasn't afraid of death afterall. Even if I died right now, it won't matter. I guess, that would be the best.
