Me and My Boys VOLUME 3

Chapter 16: The Mystery Calls and Texts

Allexa's POV

I am really happy to see my boys hanging out together, para silang hindi magkakaibigan, they are more like... brothers.

I love my boys.

"You know, we're really lucky that we got to know them" sabi ni Mary Jane na tumabi sa akin, nasa upper deck kasi kami habang yung mga boys, nasa first deck at nagtutulakan kung sino ang itatapon nila sa dagat, eh we are in a ferry.

"Oo nga eh," sabi ko and I looked at her, she's paler than ever! Nagaalala na ako sa kanya, alam kong yun ang reason kung bakit isinuggest ni Bryce na mas maaga kaming umalis, para magpacheck up na si Mary Jane.

"Why are you staring at me?" Tanong niya.

"A-ah, hehe, pasensya ka na, ang putla kasi ng muka mo, nagaalala na ako" sabi ko and she smiled a little tapos hinigpitan pa niya ang paghawak sa shawl niya, "are you cold?" Tanong ko.

"No, I'm fine, thanks" she said with a small smile, "do you trust me Lexa?" She asked without looking at me.

"Oo naman, bakit?" Tanong ko saka tumingin siya sakin.

"Will you believe me if I say that Jason and I didn't..you know" sabi niya at medyo nagpink ang mga pisngi niya.

Ngumiti ako ng genuine smile and I hugged her by her side na ikinagulat niya.

"Silly girl, of course I believe you" sabi ko at napansin kong nakahinga siya ng maluwag.

"Thank you, but I want you to know that he never touched me," sabi niya tapos tumingin siya sa mga boys sa baba, particularly kay Jason who is supporting Etong's feet, mukang si Etong ang napili nilang itapon, "he said he loves me too much that he is willing to wait until we get married " dagdag niya with a proud smile.

Awwwmygawwwd! That's too sweet!

"I believe he means it" sabi ko, pinipigilan kong huwag masyadong itaas ang noo ko dahil sa proud.

I mean, come on! That's Jason for goodness sake! Jason is known for his being a..cassanova? Chickboy nalang, masyadong heavy yung cassanova. Di ba? Si Jason? Magagawa niyang hindi galawin si Mary Jane? Kumusta naman ang pagiging proud ko dun no? I feel like a proud mother!

And hindi siya pregnant! What a relief!

"I know he means it" she said and we both watched the boys, "they are all good boys"

Then they threw Etong in the sea.

"I take that back, they're not that good" dagdag niya and we laughed together, poor Etong.

"Sabi nila, dito raw mismo sa classroom natin pinatay yung babae" sabi ni Nathaniel, "nadidinig pa daw nung janitor ang iyak nung babae tuwing naglilinis siyang magisa dito"

Lahat kami--well, Bryce, Jason and Kurt were huddled at the very back of the room-- yeah so we surrounded Nathaniel like kids kasi he offered to tell us a story, hindi ko naman alam na horror story pala!

"T-teka, d-dito ba talaga sa k-classroom natin pin-pinatay yung girl?" Tanong ko habang nakakapit sa sandalan ng inuupuan ko.

"N-nagbibiro lang siya" sabi ni Kalbo na mukang natatakot nadin, kasi lalo pa siyang dumikit kina Ilong habang tumitingin sa paligid, ganun din yung iba kaya napatingin tuloy ako sa paligid din.

"Totoo ang sinasabi ko," Nathaniel said ang he leaned forward at seryosong tumingin sa amin, "ang sabi nila, dito raw pinatay pero hindi dito itinago yung bangkay, at sabi pa nila, kung sino man ang makakatagpo nung bangkay ng babae, hindi daw niya pagpapakitaan yun"
