Ruling The Last Section (Season 1)

Kabanata 57

Helix hold my shoulder to assist me to climb inside the car. Pinigilan ko siya. Nakatalikod sa akin si Xerox kaya hindi ko makita ang reaksiyon niya.

Ilang salita pa nga lang ang nasasabi ko at nainis na agad siya roon?

"Xerox!" I called him but he ignored me. Napahinto si Lexus sa pagsasalita at tumunghay sa amin.

"Dude, Raiven is calling you." tawag pansin niya kay Xerox nang hindi lumingon sa amin.

"Raiven he's just acting. I was fooled by that act numerous times before." alam ko namang hindi magsisinungaling si Helix sa akin pagdating roon pero may duda pa rin ako. Baka kasi talagang nagalit si Xerox sa biro namin.

"Xerox." tawag ko pero parang wala siyang narinig.

"Tangina ka arte mo!" si Lexus na natatawa nang nakatingin kay Xerox.

"Attitude lang 'yan, Raiven." si Helix at humakbang ako patungo sa kanya. Xerox shoulder move like he took a sigh. I nudge his side and kick his ass.

"Hindi ka magsasalita." sabi ko at narinig ko lang ang impit niyang tawa. Susunod ay umalingawngaw ang malakas niyang pagbalanghit ng tawa sa buong paligid.

I gasped in sudden irritation when I found out that he's really acting! My mouth parted and Helix look at me like saying "I told you"

"If you just see your epic expression Raiven. Pfft." then he burst in laughing again. I smack his chest and my knuckles drove on his ribs. He yelped but I know it was fake.

"Kainis ka!" asik ko at hinila ang buhok niya. Dumaing muli siya at umikot lang ang mga mata ko. Pagkatapos ko siyang masaktan ay bumalik na ako kay Helix na naiiling lang. Bahagyang mainit ang ulo ko sa iritasyon pagpasok sa driver seat. I immediately start the engine.

Hinihiling ko na sana ay luma na lang itong sasakyan ni Helix para mabugahan ko ng usok sa likod si Xerox.

"Dati ba talagang may saltik sa utak si Xerox?" bahagyang natawa si Helix sa tanong ko.

"I think he has that infuriating attitude since birth." Helix shrugged.

"Sorry na---" I press the beep button so loud so I can't hear Xerox fake apology.

Lexus laugh out loud.

"Karma is Raiven." Lexus said and wink at me. I salute at him.

May nanghihingi ba ng tawad na nakakalokong nakangisi at mukhang tuwang tuwa sa nangyari. When I and Helix was done on fastening our seatbelt. I start to manuevered the steering wheel.

Habang nakangisi pang nakatanaw sa amin si Xerox. I start driving to the school's gate and I look at the side mirror before turning left to the road.

"Oh, hindi ko pala alam ang address ng bahay niyo." sabi ko kay Helix na nakatingin na sa akin. Mukhang sinusuri niya ang paraan ko ng pagmamaneho. His car seems light that I can drive it smoothly. I can move the steering precisely.

Helix told me the address and I heard an exclusive subdivision.

"What food do you want to eat? I'll tell our housemaid to prepare it." aniya habang minamanipula ang phone na hawak niya.

"Ikaw na ang bahala. I can eat any food that you'll prepare." the side of his lips curl up on that.

"Okay." he said and type something. Tinuon ko na ang atensiyon sa pagmamaneho. Bahagya kong binagalan ng makita ang isang itim na kotse mula sa gilid na eskinata na papalabas pero mukhang huminto naman dahil napansin ako. I even beep so he can notice that I'm going straight.
