Guilty Bite

14) The Only One

Chapter Fourteen:
" The Only One"

I refuse to believe that me and that idiot are the same.

Hindi ko siya kilala, never ko pa nasilayan yang mukha niya na mukhang sarap apakan at itapon pagkatapos.

He's a psychopath and I'm not, okay?

Hinding hindi ako magiging tulad niya.

Hindi ako natakot sa kanya, I was more wary than scared because I'll never be scared of that psychopath. I've seen worse, I've seen my dad dead even if uncle Klaus tried to hide it from me.

I've been through a lot.

'Di naman ako naging baliw tulad niya, 'di ba?

Skylar.

Skylar freaking Santos.

Skylar Santos.

He has the same surname as me.

My fake surname.

Hindi naman sa tinatago ko sa buong eskwelahan na Diamante ako, alam ng mga empleyado dito sa school na Diamante ako at kamag-anak ko yong isa sa mga nag-invest dito.

Ms. Principal told the teachers to call me Santos and not Diamante, I specifically requested for it because of two things.

One, I don't want people to come to me and act like my friend kahit na ayaw naman talaga nila, gusto lang nila ako maging kaibigan kasi mayaman ako o kung ano pa.

And second, so I could take out the bullies by myself without the help of my last name a.k.a I can help uncle Klaus with his investment in this school.

'Di ko naman talaga tinatago, may mga tao pa ring 'di alam na Diamante ako tulad nung babae sa library.

Ever since na nalaman niya yo'n, lagi na siyang ngumingitingiti sa'kin.

Sabi ko sa inyo eh, my last name is something else.

People fake their kindness for an intention.

For a reason.

And besides... my dad told me before na Santos daw yata ang apelyido ng nanay ko.

Santos.

So I took it and I asked to have my last name be Santos in this school.

Maganda rin naman yung Santos eh.

Aida Belle Santos.

But Skylar.

Skylar Santos.

Nabibwisit pa rin ako hanggang ngayon. Bwisit na bwisit. I don't know how am I going to figure this out pero ang alam ko lang ay hindi ko gusto ang gagong yo'n.

I have to find out about him.

I need to know something.

But I'm not sure what I want to know from him.

Hindi ko alam kung ano yong hahanapin ko o mahahanap ko. I know it's bad, it's going to be fucking bad because he's just... bad!

Kinuha ko yong phone ko at tsinek nanaman kung nagreply ba si Estella sa'kin o hinde. I just don't feel good about this, about him. Iimbestigahan ko sana yung mga kaibigan niya na hinabol si Lyn Lyn pero baka isumbong naman nila kay Skylar yo'n.
