"Damn you." he just chuckled and I gave him a deadly glare.

"I hit a nerve?" he ask mockingly and I want to curse him out loud but I stop myself. Hindi naman bawal pero may hula ako na mas marami pang sasabibin ang lalaki na ito. His mysterious and weird but his tongue is infuriating.

"Why are you even hiding your identity?" I ask.

"Hmm who knows? Ako nga hindi rin alam ang dahilan mo." my knuckles formed into fist. Mahina lang siyang tumawa.

"Ganito na lang, what if we had a bet?" I wrinkled my forehead.

"Meron na nga rito sa racing hindi ba?"

"No, an another bet."

"Will I know who really are you if I win in that?"

"Payag ka ba kung ganoon ang kondisyon ng kung sinong mananalo?" hindi agad ako nakasagot roon at nag-isip pa muna. I think I don't need to say my answer because it seems he already sense it.

"Kung ganoon ganito na lang, kapag nanalo ka... may sikreto akong ibubunyag sayo at kapag nanalo ako mananatili ako sa apartment mo ng isang gabi." my forehead immediately creased on his statement. I gasped harshly on his last sentence.

"Paano mo nalaman na nakatira ako sa apartment?" now I'm more confuse and curious who is this man? Is he a fucking stalker? Pero sa pagkakaalam ko ay naroon lang siya namalalagi sa abandonadong dorm ng school. Nang sumunod ko muli siyang nakita ay kahapon lang. Kaya paano niya nalaman ang impormasyon iyong tungkol sa akin?

"It's not that hard to know. I just heard it from your classmate once they had a conversation, how they enjoyed hanging out in your apartment. Naiinggit ako, gusto ko ring pumunta roon." umawang ang labi ko sa sinabi niya.

This man is really weird. Hindi ko siya maintindihan. Nakaramdam ako ng pagtaasan ng balahibo ko sa batok. His mysterious facade is giving me shiver.

"Why would you want to stay in my apartment?" I arch a brow at him.

"To feel what your classmates felt when they hangout on your apartment." hindi nagbago ang ekspresyon ko roon at hindi ako naniniwala na iyon lang ang dahilan niya. But his tone is cold and serious. So I don't know if my hunch is right or he's manipulating me by using that kind of tone.

"Hindi ka naniniwala? You seems like you doesn't want me to step on your apartment. Iyon lang naman ay kung ako ang mananalo. Kapag ikaw, ay may ibubunyag akong sikreto. Pero hindi ang katauhan ko."

"Ano namang malay ko sa sikreto na iyan? What if it's just useless?" he raised a brow at me.

"You will know if it's useless or worth it when you win." mataman akong tumitig sa kanya. Nag babakasali na mabasa ko kung ano man ang iniisip niya para may mahinuha man lang akong kahit ano. Pero nabigo lang ako. He's good at hiding his emotion in his blank expression.

I heaved a sigh.

"Deal?" hindi ko alam kung bakit narinig ko ang tinig ni Kuwai sa kanya. Noong una kong marinig ang salitang iyan na lumabas sa labi niya ay natalo ako sa pustahan namin ni Kuwai. Ngayon ay ito na naman.

I'm always confident when it comes to my skills on racing but knowing that he's one of the racer I need to defeat in this race is making me question myself if I'm really good. What the hell!

This man is making me doubt myself and I'm not liking it. The engine of his car roared to life. Kumunot ang noo ko at namilog ang mga mata ng makita na ang starter girl sa gitna.
