One Person, Three Identities [COMPLETED]

Chapter 32

NAOMI SCARLETTE

Gusto kong makitawa sa mga ginagawa nila Cody para mabawasan ang tensyon, but I can't. I'm so worried about Alexa, though I think I know who Alpha really is na siyang hindi alam ng iba naming kaibigan dahil hindi na pinasabi ni Alexa. But I don't know what they are planning, kaya I can't remove the worry I'm feeling.

Lagi niya kasi sinasabi sa akin ang lahat. Open kami sa isa't-isa. Wala talagang sikreto niya ang hindi ko alam at ganun din siya sa akin. Para bang iisa lang kami. Ganun kami ka-close.

But me being me, natatakot pa rin ako. Natatakot ako sa maaaring mangyari. Natatakot ako na mapahamak ang mga taong mahahalaga sa akin, lalo na si Alexa.

She's my best friend since we were in our diaper says. I also see her as my sister. I love her so much.

Ipinikit ko ang aking mga mata at bumuntong hininga ng malalim.

'Alexa, wherever you are right now or whatever you might be doing right at this moment, please, please be safe.' I silently prayed.

CODY XANDER

I kept on making fun of stuffs to lighten up the mood, somehow. But when I look at Scarlette, she just smiles.

Lumapit ako sa kanya. Napansin ko ang pagpikit ng mga mata niya at ang pagbuntong-hininga niya.

"Ang lalim naman." Puna ko sa pagbuntong-hininga niya. Napadilat siya at tumingin sa akin. She gave me a half smile.

"Is there a problem? Masama ba ang pakiramdam mo? If you want, I'll drive you home." Nag-aalalang tanong ko sa kanya pero umiling lang siya. Alam kong mali pero naghihinala ako na may alam siya tungkol sa nangyayari ngayon. Knowing how close the two of them are.

"I know what's going on when you're being like that." Sabi ko sa kanya kaya napatingin siya sa akin.

"W-what do you mean?" Kinakabahang tanong niya. I knew it.

"Tell me. May alam ka ba sa nangyayari ngayon?" pabulong na tanong ko sa kanya. Nanlaki ang kanyang mga mata na nakatingin sa akin. Nanghuhula lang naman ako pero tama pala talaga ang hinala ko.

"I – uh..." Napa-kagatlabi siya. It made me smile how cute she is when caught like a deer in the headlights.

"Don't worry, you know that you can tell me anything. If you don't want them to know then my lips are sealed. Just tell me to lift the burden off of your shoulder, even for a little bit." Pagkumbinsi ko sa kanya. *sigh* I know that she's kind of stressed out.

"I know who Alpha is, but I don't know what their plan is." Nakayuko at pabulong na sabi niya sa akin.

I smiled at her, reassuring her that it'll be fine, and hugged her. Nung una ay nabigla siya pero kalauna'y yumakap na rin siya pabalik.

"Thank you." Sabi niya, hindi ako sumagot. I just hugged her tightly.

JARED ASHTON

At exactly 8 o'clock in the evening, all the lights went out and a guy's voice was heard.

"Good evening, everyone! I know that each and every gangster in here can't wait for the most awaited match so without further delays, I present to you, QuadScor!" With that, the crowd went wild and a spotlight was lightened up na siyang nakatutok sa amin ngayon.

"Oh, the members of Phoenix Gang are with them! I also heard that Suzako no Miko was held captive by Pentaurus which happens to be Dark's fiancé." What the-?! Hindi ko alam na chismoso pala 'tong emcee na 'to.

'Wag lang magpapakita sa akin yang emcee na 'yan, kung hindi bubugbugin ko talaga yan. Napaka-chismoso, tsk.

Tahimik lang kami habang hinihintay na magsalita pa ulit siya.
