The Bully and the Beast

Leo

"Chill, bro."

Napapunas nalang ng mukha si Leo. Durog na ang phone niya nang makuha ito sa lapag.

Tumawag yung Eric sa kanya. Alam niyang ito ang nagpalabas nung hazing video. Sigurado naman kasing hindi yon magagawa sa kanya ni Car. Malamang gusto lang mang asar nung g*gong yon. Para lang ipamukha na wala talaga siyang pag-asa. Naihagis tuloy niya ang cellphone sa inis.

Ric's was Car's friend. Kahit na naiinis siya, hindi niya masisi kung gusto nitong gumanti para sa kasalanang di naman niya ginagawa.

"Hoy, Leo."

"Shut up, Gelo."

Napasubsob siya table. He just lost everything. Wala na si Car. Expelled na siya. Tuluyan na rin siyang tinakwil ng pamilyang pilit niyang pinakikisamahan.

At least her mother can finally file a divorce now, wala na itong dahilan para makisama pa sa Dad niya. Siya lang naman ang inaalala nito kaya ayaw pang makipaghiwalay. It was the only the good thing that happened after all of these.

She offered a place to stay in France. Siguro tatanggapin nalang niya yon. Wala na rin siyang buhay dito.

"Ang aga-aga kasi, nandito ka." Gelo again.

D*mmit. Why can't anyone leave him alone? Sinabi na niya dito na di na niya kailangang nang kasama. Baka makasakit na naman siya.

Nilapag niya inumin sa lamesa. He ended up here after niyang makita si Car kanina. Kasama nito ang lalaking yon nang tawagan siya ng guards na may nanggugulo doon sa unit niya. He have no idea why they are together at kung anong ginagawa doon.

Hell, wala naman siyang magagawa. Wala siyang karapatan. Sabi nga nito, hindi naman sila.

P*tangina, karma nga ito.

He did screw up a couple of girls, most of the were virgins. And then leave them with that same f*cking message.

Hindi sila. Walang relasyon sa pagitan nila. Just a simple f*ck. Wala lang. Trip lang niyang ikama.

Now that the situation was reversed. Shit, ang sakit pala.

Pano nga ba ito nagsimula? He was not sure how did she fall to a girl like her.

Lagi niya lang talagang napapasin si Car noon dahil lagi itong kasama ng ex-girlfriend ni Warren na si Charity. He would saw her on the bleachers during practice. Uninterested, always on her phone, or with a book. Or with a sketchpad drawing, writing something. Nandoon pero di nanonood.

He found it distracting. All the girls were there, cheering for them. Halos mapuno nga nang hiyawan ang buong court kapag naglalaro sila. Then this goth looking girl in glasses won't even look at him. Walang pakialam. Kaya siya gumawa ng paraan.

A trap was set up. Puno yung nang cornstarch ang timba sa taas lang ng hallway.

"Leo, g*go ka, baka prof mahulugan." Warren told him. He was laughing as hell, though.

He shrugged and grinned. So what. Yun nga ang masaya doon. F*ck them.Pero kahit naman mahuli sila, who would stand to confront them? They were untouchables.

He saw her coming. Nakayuko na naman at wala paring pakialam sa mundo. Hindi talaga siya napapansin. Sinubukan pa nga niyang harangan pero wala din, nilagpasan lang siya.

F*ck this. Paano ni Car nagagawa yon? Ang laki niyang tao para di makita?

He was the star athlete here! Gwapo na, matalino pa!

C'mon Babe! Look at me! Look at me!

But she still didn't. Badtrip.

And then the bucket fell in right above her. Muntik na ngang matamaan ang ulo. D*mn if it did, di niya mapapatawad siguro ang sarili niya. He didn't mean to hurt her in anyway. It was just a simple prank.
