Chapter 8: Trouble?

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Uy, si Pres pala to, eh. Idol." Si Darwin at nakipag apir pa kay Layvance.

"Hi, I am the original member of this friendship, the founder, the builder, the Diego Ciervo." Pinalakpakan pa niya ang sarili.

Ay mukang tanga.

"16, special science since grade 9, nice to meet you, my new members." Tila bilib na bilib siya sa sarili.

Winasi-wasi niya pa kunwari ang mahabang buhok.

"U-um, D-daren Natividad, 17, s-special science since grade 10."

Napakunot ang noo namin sakanya. Nahihiya ba siya?

"Hi, Daren! I'm Darwin." Binigay pa niya ang kamay niya sa kanya. "Kanina ko pa nahahalatang mahiyain ka no? Don't worry, it's alright. We have all the time we need to unleash that kupal inside you."

Sakanya naman nangunot ang noo namin?

"What?" He asked.

"Tanga, ikaw lang ang may kupal sa kaloob-looban rito." Si Marlou.

"Jolyen Lim Latazar, 17, special science since grade 8."

"Edward Tuzeo, 18, special science since grade 8,"

After introducing ourselves ay iba-ibang tanong namin ang bingay nila.

What's your favorite color?
Where do you live?
Why did you choose Heirra?

"WHUAT?!"

"HOLY SHIT!"

"What the?"

I raised my brow at them. "What?"

"Kapatid mo si Aidan?!" They clarified.

"Yes, kakasabi ko lang."

"No joke?" Si Mark.

I nodded.

"Half siblings?" Si Darwin.

I nodded.

I just told them about me. Of course, I blurred out about my sexuality. I also told them why I transferred here, and they reacted like this after finding out that Aidan is my step-brother.

"So you're not related by blood?" Si Chester.

I nodded.

"Are you close?" Si Erick.

I nodded.

"And his fine about you being an Special science student?" Si Diego.

"At first hindi, but he eventually didn't care anymore." I said.

"You do know about-"

I cut Marlou off. "You guys fighting? Yes. Nabanggit niya sakin."

After the first day and also the day We found out about me being a special science, Aidan already told me about the grief behind the Special science and section 11. And actually I don't mind. Wala naman akong pakealam.

As long as they won't use me against my brother, then we're good.

Alam kong kulang-kulang ang kwento sakin ni Aidan. Pero alam ko nang nagkaaway sila, that what's important. Sa kung ano mang dahilan ay labas na ako roon.

"Hindi ka talaga kakain?" Tanong sakin ni Layvance.

Umiling ako.

Kanina niya pa 'ko tinatanong but I keep on saying no.
