Fryxelle High: School of Gangsters [COMPLETED]

Chapter 21: Clandestine

VAI.

The night continued. Kasama ko na ngayon si Acantha, Clyde, Evan at Lili. We were complete, except for our so-called president.

Nanatili kaming nakaupo sa isang sulok habang tumatanaw sa iba't-ibang klase ng mga estudyante, who are currently enjoying each other's company.

"Where the hell is Van Rye?" I heard Acantha asking. "Siya nalang ang kulang! We will still have our speech for being one of the most respected clubs in the school!"

Napailing-iling si Clyde.

"Probably somewhere," saglit na bumaling ang tingin niya sa 'kin bago ibinalik sa harap, ngayon ay suot na ang isang ngisi. "Alangan namang lalabas siya, eh 'di magkandaugaga siya riyan sa isa d'yan."

Acantha gave him a weird look because f what he said. Evanther seemed to have understood what he meant because he showed a lopsided smile. Meanwhile, Lili who was sitting next to him maintained a straight face.

"Seriously, Li." Acantha called. "Saan ka pa pupunta, ha? Sa isang prom night o isang formal meeting? Bakit nakabusangot ka d'yan?"

Lili ignored her and rolled her eyes. "Can't we go home already?"

Clyde smirked at her. "The night's still young, Liliane. Chill and have fun. We're not here to solve a murder case but to fucking enjoy!"

Nag-cheers pa sila ni Evan sa hawak nilang champagne glass na grape juice lang naman ang laman.

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi ni Clyde. "Hindi tayo magso-solve ng kaso?"

Evan, as the secretary of our club, shook his head. "There are no pending cases as of the moment. We were just tasked to enjoy."

Mas lalong kumunot ang noo ko. "Pero sabi ni Rye-"

Napatigil ako nang halos ibuga ni Clyde ang ininom niyang juice sa harap namin. Acantha gave him a grossed look before helping him.

"Yuck, dugyot." She murmured.

Nanatiling nasa akin ang atensyon ni Clyde. "That was how he asked you?" Nanlalaki ang mga matang tanong niya.

Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng ask pero dahil totoo namang gano'n ang nangyari ay tumango ako.

The two boys burst out laughing suddenly. Evan, who rarely shows emotion was laughing! Sumasabay na siya kay Clyde! Tapos sila lang naman ang nagkakaintindihan.

"Grabe 'yung tricks ni President, pang-old school, amputa!" Pagsisigaw ni Clyde habang hawak na ang tiyan kakatawa.

"The hell with Rye, really." Evan shook his head in disappointment. "All he knows is to fucking study, but doesn't know how to ask a girl."

Napatigil lang sila sa pagsasalita nang may isang bultong naglalakad papalapit sa amin. Inakala nilang si Rye 'yon dahil umayos sila agad, turns out with was just Vesper.

"A pleasant evening, ladies." Bati ni Vesper. Tumingin ito sa akin at inilahad ang kamay sa harap ko. "I'm here to claim my dance?"

Akmang sasagot ako nang maunahan ako ng mataray na boses ni Acantha. "No, of course not. Who are you to have a dance with my club member, Fryxelle?"

Bumagsak ang kamay ni Vesper at naiiling na tumingin sa kanya.

"Come on, Amor. Let's have a truce, let's not ruin the night. It's too perfect to be ruined." Vesper said. Walang nagawa si Acantha kun'di ang umirap dito.

Vesper guided me towards the carpeted dance floor and as he held my waist on both sides, I laid my arms on his shoulder.

Naramdaman ko ang ilang pares ng mga matang tumingin sa gawi namin, hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman kong isang Fryxelle ang kasayaw ko rito sa gitna.
