UNIVERSITY SERIES # 3

CHAPTER FIVE

Tumayo ako at nag-stretch. Ang sarap magreflect sa gantong lugar.

Paalis na sana ako nang biglang may nakita akong aso. Gawd! No way, doggy. Not now.

Umatras atras ako habang nakatingin sa aso. Wala akong tiwala sa mabalbon nyang balahibo.

Habang umaatras ako, kinalkal ko na den ang phone ko, finding Kuya Ced number.

Sa sobrang atras ko may nabangga ako. Shit!

Sa taranta ko, tumakbo ako sa likuran nya. I can't see his face kase against the light.

Binugaw nya ang aso at tumawa sya ng malakas. May sapi ba 'to?

"Grabe Clay, its just a puppy," He said while chuckling.

Bakit nya ako kilala?

"Excuse me? How do you know m-" Hindi ko na natapos ang sentence ko nang humarap sya sa akin.

"LUCCA?!" Sigaw ko sa gulat. "You shit! Ikaw lang pala yan, you saw me na, you don't help me pa," Sigaw ko habang simusuntok suntok sya.

"Sorry na, you're so cute when you're afraid eh," Aniya habang tumatawa tawa pa.

Suntukin ko kaya 'to sa mukha? Isa lang.

"So, what are you doing here ba?" I asked habang nakapamewang pa.

He comes closer at inakbayan ako, "Hindi mo ba ako namiss?"

"Of course, hindi," I said habang inirapan sya.

"Ah, ganon, sige tawagan ko ulit yung aso-"

"Namiss kita," Sabi ko sabay hila sakanya.

He chuckled. Saya saya si gago, nauuto ako.

"Vacation nyo pala 'no? Ako naman, Im here kase sinama ako ng pinsan ko," He explained.

"Let's catch up tomorrow. One week kase kami dito eh,"  I said.

"Sure, ah wait me here ha, I'll just go inside, Cedric's waiting for me eh," Ani Lucca.

Same school kase sila ni Kuya Cedric, kaya magkaibigan den sila.

"Go lang, ayoko pumasok don. So suffocating," Pag-iinarte ko.

Natawa lang sya at ginulo ang buhok. Tamo 'to nangbwisit pa.

He went inside samantalang ako nagpphone lang. I will call Gen sana kaso nga lang ayoko na syang istorbohin, coz she's having a prac for her pageant. Kaya bawal.

I think Claui should try modeling. Same silang coca-cola yung body eh.

Aalis na sana ako don nang biglang may sasakyan na nagbeep sa harap ko.

What the fuck? Anong gusto netong palabasin?

Umiling na lang ako at sa kabila sana dadaan kaya lang biglang bumaba ang nasa car.

"So, you're here lang pala. The bitch is hiding hereeee!" She shouted at yung mga kasama naman nya sa kotse nagsi tawanan.

Oh, I forgot her. She's the one na iniwan ni Jieven just for me.

Pfft, hilig nyang ipasa talaga sa iba ang ugaling meron sya. Now I know why Jieven leave her. Nakakasakal ugali.

"Hindi ko ugaling magtago," I said at ngumiti sakanya.

I paused, look at her a bit and chuckled. "But maybe I am hiding, 'Coz a Queen like me shouldn't see a trash like you," Sabi ko habang nakataas ang kilay na nakangiti pa sakanya.

Gigil ang mukha nya na parang anytime she's going to kill me. How I love to see that face. Halatang talo na.

"But nice to see you here, you should be thankful nga eh, kase nakita mo ako for the second time around," I said while looking at her intently.

"Why should I be thankful? I should not, coz a bitch and slut like you should not deserve to give respect." Sabi nya.

Super lapit na nya sa akin. Its gross lang coz her saliva is going all over my face.

"Pakitang tao. Kunwari mabait pero mang-aagaw naman," She said at tinaas pa ang isang kilay nya.

Tumawa ako ng malakas, "How funny you are, sis!" I shouted in laughter habang hinahampas hampas pa sya sa braso.

I paused and smiled, "Nakakatawa ka. I do not steal anything from you. Steal ba yung tawag sa kusang ginawa? Kusang sumama? Kusa akong minahal? I pity you," I said while tapping her shoulders.

Ang sama na ng tingen nya sa akin. And her friends? Ayon, tahimik at nakanganga na lang.

Humakbang na ako paalis. Pero ayoko ng ganon lang. I want na maasar pa sya ng sobra.

I looked back sakanila, "Thalia right? Move on, okay? Maawa ka naman sa sarili mo. Bulok na nga ng attitude mo, pati your looks mabubulok na den? Paano ka babalikan nyan?" Pang-aasar ko pa at naglakad na palayo.

But I was shocked when a loud screetch noise came from my back.

I was in my state shock that I couldn't even move and going to react.

I was too late. Before I could even move, I was hit by a moving car.
