Lawful Hearts (Law School Series 1)

08

"Saan kayo galing?" Clay greeted us with a look of disbelief.

My gaze caught up with Jon, remembering what just happened from the rain and how we both changed our wet clothes inside his care. Then back again to Clay looking at us suspiciously.

Kinawayan ng mga kablockmates namin si Jon kaya iniwan niya na muna ako kasama si Clay at pumunta sa kanila.

Habang naglalakad kami papunta sa kabilang table, umaalingawngaw ang pakiramdam ko sa mga tingin na ibinabato sa akin ni Clay. He seems like he wants to tell me something but waiting for me to burst up.

"What?" I arched my brow. The music and laughters inside the club started to grow louder, "ano nga?"

"Mm... Don't tell me, nag... quickie kayo sa car–"

Hindi pa man niya natatapos ang kaniyang sasabihin ay inambahan ko na agad siya ng palo. "Bastos! Nabasa kami ng ulan kaya pinahiraman niya ako ng masusuot,"

He continues teasing me until we reached the table. Napansin ko na wala pa rin si Allie kaya lingon ako nang lingon sa may entrance.

"Looking for Allie?" said the girl who just came beside me.

I nodded when I realized it was Beauty, "hindi ba siya makakapunta?"

"She's not replying to my chats, siguro on the way na," Beauty replied then continue drinking into her glass.

Then she started dancing with Clay. Hindi pa nagsisimula ang gabi pero ang high na nila dahil sa drinks.

While watching them, I decided to sit next to Lana who is also silently drinking at the near end of the sofa. Lumingon ako sa side ng mga boys para makita si Jon, but he's facing the opposite side to us which I could only see his back.

"Punta tayo sa kanila?" pag-aaya ko kay Lana. She just nodded, I think she smiled lightly, I barely saw it since lights were just flashing to us.

Sa pagdating namin, ilang hakbang pa lamang papalapit sa kanila ay naririnig ko na ang kanilang pinag-uusapan. They were talking about something related to law, then suddenly changed the topic into social issues right now, then lead to religion, and then after that they started debating.

Napatawa lang ako habang nagtitigan kami ni Lana dahil sa kanilang mga random topic. What a weird way to talk about these in a club.

"Well, when the finals c–"

"Stop-stop, ayoko munang marinig ang tungkol sa exam, or darating na exam, or any words na may exam–" Geno said in a tiring voice, begging for them to leave the topic. "Guys, kakatapos lang midterms kanina, final exam naman iniisip niyo?"

He started pulling them one by one to the dancefloor where our other blockmates were already dancing.

Nawala na sa tabi ko si Lana at wala akong ideya kung saan siya nagpunta. I flinched a little when somebody tapped my shoulder while whispering my name.

"Good?" Jon is nodding while raising his glass.

Then he smiles again, the same smile that I saw few hours ago from this moment. My mind feels like travelling back from the same time where we are sitting inside his car, just inches close like this.

"Basa na kotse mo," I felt bad seating into his car while I'm literally drenching all the water from the rain.

But he didn't even care about it. "May extra shirt ako, magbihis ka muna,"
