She Who Dares Wins

Chapter 14

"Wala bang suspect? For sure, nasa loob lang ng ADLSH ang may kinalaman kasi closed down naman ang school for everyone. For sure, kapwa estudyante. I wonder why someone had to do that."

"We got one suspect. Si Luigi. Luigi I-forgot-the-surname. Basta, siya."

"Paano siya naging suspect?"

"May daplis siya sa balikat."

"Oh! Yun naman pala eh! Saan daw niya dinala si Bang?!" Tanong ko sa kanila.

"Before he could even say a word to any guard around, he had been already beaten up by Alyssa. Before kasi ng frat war, saka pa lang nagising si Ara at dun niya lang nasabi ang nangyari sa mga police na dumating. Na nabaril niya yung lalaki sa balikat. Nung aalis na sana yung mga pulis sa hospital para hingin ang statement ni Luigi, some of the frat men told the policemen na binendahan niya ang balikat niya, dumating ang katawan ni Luigi na super bugbog. Binabantayan kasi namin si Ara nun nang makita namin si Luigi whose face were beyond unrecognizable. Yun pala, Alyssa, nakakasali pa lang sa Eagles for an hour, joined the frat war and beat up the suspect."

"And? After that Luigi had been charged out from the hospital, anong nangyari?" I asked.

"We don't know. Sabi lang sa amin ng nurses, umalis na daw siya. Hindi na daw siya muling babalik pa. I mean, I agreed with what she said. Sinong babalik pa kung ganun ang ginawa sa'yo, di ba? Basta, sabay silang nawala ni Ly. Pero si Ly, bumalik, si Luigi, nagtago at hindi na namin muling nabalitaan pa."

"Oh." Tanging nasabi ko. So that gym was abandoned dahil may nangyaring ganun doon?

Bakit ganun na lang kagalit si Alyssa kay Ara? Did she like Bang?

"Did Alyssa like Bang ba kaya nag-away sila ni Ara?"

"Ara likes Bang pero I don't know if Alyssa does. We never mind her sweetness towards Bang kasi ganun naman talaga si Alyssa. She's sweet to everyone except lang dun sa mga hindi niya ka-close."

"Tsss. Tama na nga yan. Naaalala ko na naman ang broken friendship natin eh." Sabi ni Ella at saka nagpunas ng luha.

"Wait lang. Di ba you said Ara was hitting on you nung Wednesday? Eh you're friends, di ba? Isn't it awkward?" I asked.

"Den, I was not actually referring to Ara that time. You assumed na it was Alyssa. Itong si Alyssa din naman, assumed na si Ara ang tinutukoy mo. I actually pointed Mika, the girl beside Ara that time. You and your impulsiveness kasi." Ate Fille said.

We heard a knock on the door kaya napalingon kami. Walang gustong tumayo. Duh, ang sarap na ng upo namin eh. Ate Fille and I joined force and stared at Ella with a grin on our faces.

Huminga nang malalim si Ella at saka inirapan kami.

"Why so tamad? Ugh." She said at saka padabog na tumayo at naglakad papunta sa pintuan. Binuksan niya ang pintuan at napatingin kami ni Ate Fille kung sino iyon.

"Hi, Den!" Sigaw sa akin ni Bea na siya palang kumakatok sa pinto kanina. Mas padabog na tumalikod si Ella at saka humiga padapa sa kama niya. I looked at Ate Fille who was silently laughing tapos binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Bea.

Tumayo ako at saka dahan-dahan lumapit sa kanya.

"Bei, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"It's Saturday and it sucks kung magsstay ka lang sa dorm mo, di ba? Let's watch movies? Movie marathon tayo sa dorm namin!" Yaya niya sa akin.

"How about your group meeting?"

"We're done. Ano? Tara?"

"Is your sister, supremo, whatever, there?"
