Mr. COLD (the heartbreaker)

Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

"Hindi ko feel pumasok ngayon." Malakas pa akong humikab pagkatapos kong sabihin ang alam kong nasa isip din nilang tatlo.

Tamad silang mga nagsitanguan at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. We have actually a place to chill during our vacant period. It's a tree house located at the very secluded part of our school.

Some students go out of their way to study in that tree house just as we always do but it was far from the school building so eventually, they stopped coming.

Kaming apat na lang nagtyaga na magpunta kaya kami na lang ang parati ang nagchichill which was obviously in favor of us. Sa sobrang aarte ng mga kasama ko na medyo anti social, we felt more at ease na kami na lang at wala nang ibang tao na pumupunta.

I straightened up as I heard a voice. That voice. We all stopped and then looked at each other. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who recognized it.

Afraid that we might interrupt them for making any noise, we stopped and unconsciously hid behind a wall.

"Get out of my way. Cheap girls don't attract me."

Napairap ako sa narinig. Nakakairita. As if may nakaka attract na babae sakanya. If I know...

"Give me a chance please?" Umiiyak at halls lumuhod na ang babaeng kausap nya sa sobrang pagmamakaawa.

He just stood there, impassive.

"P-please?" nanginginig pa ang boses nya habang nakatingin sa walang pusong lalaking nasa harapan nya.

"You are so pathetic." Umiiling na sinabi ng damuho habang nilalagpasan ang kawawang babae.

Nagsimula ulit akong maglakad para tumuloy na sa pupuntahan namin ng mapansin kong walang kahit isa sakanila na sumunod.

Natatawa ako habang tinitignan silang gulat pa rin sa mga nakita at narinig nila. I can't blame them. I think this is their first time to actually witness it first hand.

Sinabi ko na nga kasing bakla nga ang lalaking yan ayaw pa nilang maniwala!

Hindi ko na sila hinintay na makarecover sa pagkabila at nauna ng naglakad. Nangangati na akong maupo at napapagod na ako kakatayo.

Nakaupo na ako at naghihintay sakanila nang dumating sa tree house.

I heard them whispering. They were talking about it. Mga tsismosa talaga.

"Bakla talaga diba?" I said, getting their attentions.

Umirap si Liz. "Bitter mo!"

"I actually bumped into some other girl this morning and I heard Kurt also rejected her," Maj said.

"Don't you think it's too much? I mean, he could've done it nicely," Yna said, frowning.

"Nicely?!" Tawang tawa ang tangang si Liz. "Paano magiging nice ang pag reject sa babae? Of course everything he would say would be harsh!"

"Pwede nya namang sabihin na hindi sya interesado. Tapos! Hindi kung anu ano pa sasabihin nya."

"But you can't deny how sexy he is," halos maglaway na sabi ni Liz. Taas baba pa ang kilay na nakatingin sa amin.

Sabay sabay namin syang pinagbabato ng crumpled paper.

Tumawa sya ng malakas. "Affected much?!"

Nagkanya kanya na kami ng mundo nang may pumasok sa isip ko.

"Have you noticed how boring our lives here?"

Tumingin silang tatlo sakin sa biglaan kong pagsasalita.

"Yes, and?" tanong ni Maj na nagtataka.

"What do you say about making it more exciting?" I smirked.

Hinintay nila akong magsalita pa. Nanahimik ako at alam kong nakuha na nila ang ibig kong sabihin.

"Fine. Shoot. We're in. Tell us." Yna said impatiently.

"Fine, just... don't be a bitch." sabi naman ni Maj.

"Why?" pagmamaang maangan ko.

"I know you!"

Inirapan ko na lang sya at nagpatuloy. "I just want to help him. He's such a jerk and we all know that. I'm pretty sure he hasn't had a girlfriend yet."

"How sure are you na hindi pa nga sya nagkakagirlfriend?"

"Liz, alam mo yung common sense? Gusto mong bigyan kita? Kita mo ng ang ilap sa babae eh malamang hindi pa yon nagkakagirlfriend!"

"Well, di mo pa din masasabi."

Hindi ko na sya pinamsin at muling nagpatuloy. "He is so rude. I can't take it. He thinks so highly of himself, it's so annoying. He's just so cold, so heartless. Let's melt the ice around his heart."

Tahimik sila nang matapos ako. Si Yna ang unang nagsalita. "Hindi maganda yan. I think that's none of our business."

"Saka isa pa, parang paglalaruan natin yung feelings nya. At paano na lang 'pag nalaman nyang pinagpustahan natin sya?" segunda naman ni Maj.

"Wala syang malalaman kung walang magpapaalam sa kanya."

"What if malaman nya accidentally?" I hate that she's too paranoid at times.

"Let's cross the bridge when we get there and please stop being so paranoid." I rolled my eyes at her.

"I'm just  stating the possibilities! Hindi ka ba natatakot?"

"This is to help him. Wag kang kabahan."

"Sure ka bang safe tayo dyan?"

I know her and she's about to get convinced. Napangiti ako sa aking sarili.

Tinaasan ko na sya ng kilay at napabuntong hininga na lang sya. Hindi na din nagtanong ang dalawa.

"We need to sign a contract to make this official."

"Anong premyo ng mananalo?"

"Malilibre sya ng lunch for 3 months. Tig iisang buwan manlilibre yung mga talo."

"Deal! This will be mine." kinalampag pa ni Liz ang lamesa sa kanyang harapan.

"How about rules?"

"Walang rules. Kahit anong gawin nyo basta ang kailangan lang mapagbago nyo si Kurt."

Tumango tango si Yna.

"Ano Maj?"

Nagkibit balikat lang siya.

"I love you so much Maj!!" I kissed her cheek.

Kaya naman ang gagawin ko na lang ngayon ay ang magconcentrate sa Bet namin. Kelangan kong manalo for a simple reason that i don't wanna lose. All games that i get into, i win. No room for defeats so I have to put my mind and my charms in this bet. No matter what happens, i will win this game. Even if it means hurting someone.
