Chapter 7: Abduction of Melody

CHAPTER 7
Abduction of Melody

Thank goodness it's finally the weekend. But the thought of Raven being my classmate is the worst of all things.

But still, I have no school, no trouble, and no assholes to deal with. I am finally free to lock myself in my room and sleep all day, but my vision darkened when I heard a knock on my door.

"Misa!" Rinig kong tawag ng pangalan ko mula sa labas ng pinto kaya napapikit ako nang mariin. I shook my head when I already knew who this person is.

"Get the hell away from my door!" bulyaw ko at nagtalukbong ng kumot. I just wanted to take a break from things that are bothering me!

But Raven... no, I should stop thinking about him and his existence. He is just a person from the past, nothing else.

I angrily stepped out of my bed when Melody kept knocking on my door that left me no choice but to open it. Sinalubong ng kanyang ngiti ang nakasimangot kong mukha at nakabihis siya na parang may pupuntahan.

"Oh, saan ka pupunta?" walang gana kong tanong. I remained my face blank at her when she heartily laughed.

"You mean, saan tayo pupunta?" she said rephrasing what I've said. What the? Aalis kami?

No way in hell! Sinaraduhan ko agad siya ng pintuan at tumalon pabalik sa higaan. Mabuti nalang at hindi na ulit kumatok si Melody kaya marahan akong pumikit.

Finally some peace that I've been wanting. Since we've been chased by those men with white suitcases, my peaceful life collapsed.

If we are not chased by them, probably, I'm still laying on the sofa, watching news about students being killed. Students being killed...

I haven't seen a news report about them. It's strange, and really really strange. Nanlaki ang mata ko at napaigtag ako mula sa pagkakahiga nang may narinig ulit na kumatok.

Not from the door, but outside the windows!

Napatayo ako bigla at nakita si Primo na kumakaway sa labas. Seeing him makes me want to crush his face! Paano siya nakaakyat papunta sa bintana? This guy must be a goddamn monkey!

"Temi, lumabas ka na at hinihintay ka namin!" sabi nito sa labas ng bintana habang kumakatok. I glared at him but my eyes widened when he teasingly showed his tongue and made a face!

"Stop glaring me, you're not scary anymore," sabi niya at napabuga ako ng hangin sa inis. I raised my middle finger at stuck out my tongue too. There's no way I'll be joining a ruckus!

Napatili ako nang bumukas ang bintana at saka binuhat ang katawan ko! Ipinatong nito ang tiyan ko sa kanyang balikat, saka umambang tatalon pababa ng bintana! My heart raced so fast in terror when the hot air harshly brushed off my face.

This guy is fucking nuts!

"Listen to me, Montario. There's no way I'll let you jump down with me!" sigaw ko, pero hindi niya ako pinakinggan kaya tumalon na siya pababa bitbit ako!

I closed my eyes when I felt my body fall, and grunted when I felt a pain on my stomach because of the impact from falling. Akala ko maisusuka ko na ang mga laman loob ko!

"You crazy psycho bastard!" inis kong sigaw ng imulat ko ang mata ko. Humalakhak naman ito at pinagpag ang suot niya nang maibaba na ako.

"Ang bigat mo pala," natatawa niyang sambit na ikinatigil ko. I raised my eyebrow with my mouth open, feeling offended. What? I am not heavy!

I looked around and looked up where we came from, and I guess it's not that high. Mababa lang pala ang inakyat nito at tinalon. I saw Melody and Elena leaning on Primo's car. What's with the sudden road trip and get-together?
