MY LOVELY STRANGER

CHAPTER 23: Angel Eyes.

"Oo naman" sagot ko.

"Good" pinisil nya ang kamay ko at bumitaw rin agad.

Sabay na kaming pumunta sa room.

Pinagtitinginan kami ng mga estudyante, I don't care. Wala naman kaming ginagawang masama. It's nice having Tristan as a friend. I should have known earlier.

Habang nasa pasilyo ay nasalubong namin si Xyerah. Nakasimangot ito. Tumigil sya sa harap namin at may iniabot na envelope kay Tristan.

"I don't care whatever your excuses are. But daddy said he needs you to come to the party on Saturday" yun lang at nilampasan na sila nito.

I heard him sigh. Nilukot ang papel at itinapon yun.

"Damn people, always poking their nose on me" sabi nya.

"Para saan ba kasi yung party na yun?" out of curiosity, natanong ko.

He looked at me.

Nagring ang bell. Hindi ko na sya hinintay sumagot, magmadali akong lumakad papunta sa room namin pero bigla nya akong pinigilan.

"Do you remember what I said nung nasa condo tayo?" he has this serious expression again.

Nagtataka akong nag isip.

"I said no asking questions unless you tell me you like me" he smirked and let me go.

Moment of silence for me.

He took his step towards our classroom. I followed after him.

"You're annoying" I said at nilampasan sya.

Narating namin ang room nang hindi nag iimikan. Nagsimula na ang klase. As usual, the usual 8-hour long class feels like forever.

Oh, God! I hate school.

I spent most of the day thinking about how to face Zeus. What should I say? Anong gagawin ko after naming mag usap?

Sampalin ko kaya sya? No, too violent.

Pero siguro deserve naman nyang masampal. Manloloko kasi.

Ako naman si tanga, patol din ng patol.

Hayy!

TRISTAN'S POV

Sumapit ang uwian.
Nagmadali akong lumabas ng classroom. Kailangan kong maunahan si Chelsea. Kakausapin ko ang lokong si Zeus.

Malayo pa ay nakita ko na sya sa labas ng gate at naghihintay.

Inilang hakbang ko ang kinatatayuan nya at bumwelo.

He was grinning when he saw me but my fist landed on his jaw and erased that grin.

Na out balance sya at parang lasing na napaatras bago mapaupo sa kalsada.

"And you dare to show your face, ha!" kinwelyuhan ko sya at muling sinunto. Putok ang labi nya.

"Ano bang problema mo?" galit na tanong nya at marahas na tumayo. He throw his bag on the ground and positioned to fight back.

"Ikaw! Ikaw ang problema dahil pinakikialaman mo si Chelsea!" galit sya? Mas galit ako.

Sandali syang napamaang. Then slowly grinned again.

"Bakit? Nagseselos ka ba? Well sorry ka dahil ang pinakamamahal mong si Chelsea ay magiging girlfriend ko na." pinahid nya ang dugo mula sa labi nya.

Nanguyom na naman ang kamao ko.

"I'm always precise with my moves. I can do whatever I say. You will stay as weak as you are. Gusto mo sya? Then try to take her from me. Pero sinasabi ko, hindi ka mananalo." he laughed, insulting me.

"Let's see" sabi ko. "Subukan mo lang. Subukan mong lumapit ulit kay Chelsea, Either babaliin ko lahat ng buto mo, o papatayin kita"

His smile suddenly turned into a frown.. He maybe realized I'm serious.

"See, I have no time to deal with you. I came for Chelsea. So, pwede ba? Mind your own business?" matabang na sabi nya.

"Sorry, natagalan ako." narinig kong may lumapit.

Si Chelsea. Inabot nya kay Zeus ang isang credit card.

"Pati receipt, ayan na." she is very cold towards him.

I stared at her. She looks prettier when she gives that pierce look.

"Ahm, can we talk somewhere private? Dun sana sa walang ibang nakikinig?" tanong ni Zeus.

Nag isip si Chelsea. Then looked at me.

Naglakad silang dalawa paalis at iniwan ako.
