Knock! Knock! (COMPLETED)

4: I'm Out

4: I'm Out

ZAB

Pinili kong suotin ang damit na hanggang kalahati ng hita ko. It's so fit that it displays what it should display. I love dresses that are rebelliously short—damit na hindi ko nasusuot noon. My high school uniform was few inches away from my ankles. Like what the fuck? I'm a student in a Christian school, not in a nunnery.

Anime guy is still on my living room, looking at the picture frames. So far, wala pa naman siyang kinukuhang gamit so I don't think he came here to steal.

Rape?

Not even. I offered him sex many times and he declined.

"Dearil?" tawag ko sa kanya. "Don't you have anything to do, like a job?"

"I do. I told you I reap souls," sagot niya.

"Exactly! So go and work. Huwag 'yong tumatambay ka sa bahay ko. Go find Elizabeth Alexis Cruz which is obviously not me and reap the pour woman's soul."

His beautiful eyes stared at me. "It's all been taken care of."

"So?"

"She already left this world."

"Great!" I faked a smile. "Now, you may also leave my house."

The red haired anime guy strolling inside my house frowned. "Not until I figured out how you can see me."

I laughed dryly. "What's the purpose of eyes by the way?"

I snatched my heels on the shoe rack at isinuot iyon. The anime guy stared again at my every move.

"I'm leaving." I grabbed the keys in my bag at napatigil nang biglang may naalala. "How the hell did you enter by the way?"

He didn't reply at sa halip ay lumabas sa nakasarang pinto. He walked through the door like... like a ghost! What the fuck?! Then he returned.

"That's how," sabi niya.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. "You! Oh my gosh! You have so many skills to teach me."

"No." He looks like he thinks I'm crazy!

"E 'di wag." Inirapan ko siya at binuksan ang pinto upang lumabas. I inserted the keys to lock my door when he appeared at my back.

"You're upset."

"Of course," sagot ko sa kanya. "You can teleport, you can be invisible and can walk through walls pero anong silbi niyon kung hindi mo ako tuturuan ng mga bagay na iyon? Useless. Stop hanging out in my house if you cannot grant a simple favor from me."

He stared at me blankly. "It's not something I can teach. It comes handy when you're a grim reaper."

"Get lost."

And he did, thankfully.

Agad akong umalis at pumara ng taxi papunta sa coffee shop kung saan kami magkikita ni Yna at ng blind date ko. It's actually a double date. Yna's flavor of the week will bring a friend so Yna decided to bring me.

Blind date is really not a good idea...

... but I like crazy ideas so I'll go for it.

Hindi nagtagal ay nakarating na ako sa coffee shop and just as I expected, si Yna pa lamang ang naroon. We decided to meet earlier to brief each other on what to say later. Hindi naman pwedeng basta-basta na lamang naming ibigay lahat ng impormasyon tungkol sa amin sa blind date ko at sa 'flavor of the week' niya.
