“Really?” matabang na sagot niya na parang wala lang!
Gago ‘to ah? Aba‘t parang wala na siyang pake ngayon?
Napansin ko si Khali na titig na titig dun sa fake Shadow. Like her usual stare, cold and expressionless.
Jeez. What‘s with this girl?
Sa gilid naman nila, nandun si Jaemin na tahimik lang na nakatayo, habang naka-akbay sa kanya si Kevin Jung.
At kailan pa sila naging close?!
“How about calling the Clione Brothers?” suhestiyon ni Shin.
That‘s a nice idea. Besides, sila lang ang makakapagsabi kung tunay nga bang si Shadow ito.
“As if they‘re going to let us catch their leader?” wika ni Kevin.
May point naman siya. Pero wala na kaming ibang choice kundi ang humingi ng tulong sa kanila. Besides, I‘m pretty sure that they‘d be glad to hear a news about their leader, too.
I called the youngest Clione—Kenneth.
“Hello? Is there something that you need?” sunud-sunod na tanong ni Kenneth.
Kung pagkukumparahin ang tatlong magkakapatid, si Kenneth Clione ang pinakamatino at pinakamabait.
‘Yung dalawang kuya niya?
*sigh*
“You‘re inside the school, right? Pwede ka bang pumunta sa oval? Just want you to check out on something.” sabi ko.
“Is it about ate Shadow again? I‘m sorry to disappoint you but that girl is just another imposter.” sabi niya.
Siguro ay kumalat na naman agad yung balita na may Shadow na naman ang nagpakilala samin. This is the 10th fake Shadow this year.
*sigh*
“But she has the chip. And it‘s real.” sabi ko.
“What? That‘s impossible.” Ilang sandali siyang natahimik bago muling nagsalita. “I‘ll be there.” he said and hung up.
Even the Clione was surprised upon hearing that this girl has a black chip.
Ang hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit sure na sure silang sabihing peke ang mga Shadow na humaharap sa‘min, eh maging sila nga ay hindi pa nila nakikita ang mukha ng leader nila.
O baka naman nakita na nila at inililim lang nila?
“Hey btch, where did you get the chip?” napatingin kami sa bagong dating na si Kenzo Clione.
“Yo!” bati naman ng kararating lang na si Kenji.
Agad niyang nilapitan si Kevin at nagkwento tungkol sa babae. Hay nako.
Ayan, diyan sila nagkakasundo ni Kevin eh, sa babae.
“Get what? And you‘re calling your leader a btch?” said the girl, grinning.
Maya-maya ay narito na rin si Kenneth.
“PFFT—MY LEADER?” Kenzo suddenly burst out into laughter.
“There‘s no way you‘d be Shadow. So, get your mother fcking ass of out here if you don‘t want me to drag the fcking hell out of you.” Kenzo said, brutally.
Matatawa na sana ako kung hindi lang ganito ang sitwasyon ngayon.
“What? You haven‘t even see me yourself yet. Why are you acting like you know me?” the girl retorted.
