ASTRID
We finished eating our food after hearing the bell rang.
We're now walking to the classroom. Dahlia is beside me, while the others are in front of us.
When we reached our classroom we open it and saw a new teacher inside. Well I guess auntie is doing her job.
"Hi class, I'm your new adviser, so please take your seat," he said and motion his hand in our seat.
They followed him but I know they're curious now.
"So before anything else, I would love to introduce myself and please introduce yourself then." I mentally rolled my eyes. Kailangan ba yun?
Nagsimula kay Marissa at ako ang panghuli dahil nasa likuran ako.
"Marrisa Courtney Alde, 18 years old. One of the protectors." she said and smile. Well she's not the girl I've seen in mafia society huh.
"Alexander Zin Alvarez, 19 years old. Protector." he said shortly. Another Kyle tsk. Malamig eh.
"Hi classmates, I'm Jasmine Elise Cristobal, 18 years old. I'm one of the protectors ni Aiden. I hope we can all be friends," she said and smile sweetly.
"Ethan Julius Fajardo, 19 years old. Protector ni Aiden. Nice to meet you all," he said and bow.
"Jean Dazzle Garcia, 19 years old. Ako ang pinakagwapong protector ni Aiden. Nice to meet you ladies," he said and smirk at us. Tsk he just like my kuya Axcel.
"Hailey Andres is my name, 18 years old. The most beautiful in the campus." too much confidence.
"Hi guys, I'm Dahlia Emy Oreste, 19 years old. Bestfriend of Astrid, nice to meet you." tsk when did she became my bestfriend?
"Kyle Naiden Acodism, 19 years old. Heir of the Acodism Clan." he said and sit again. Their eyes back to me, I sigh and stand up.
"Astrid Bernardo, 19 years old. A Scholar." and I'm the one who will kill the heir.
"Okay, so dahil alam nyo na ang pangalan ng isa't isa, I will introduce myself." he said while fixing his polo.
"I'm Fernando Gomez, your new adviser. So before we start our lesson, do you have a questions or suggestion? Kidding aside." natatawa niyang sabi, natawa naman din sila at nagtaas ng kamay si Jasmine.
"Yes Miss. Cristobal?"
"What happened to our last teacher?" I smirk secretly. Well he just vanished in our world, permanently.
"He transfered to another school, that's all I know because the information are classified."
Tumango naman si Jasmine at umupo ulit. Sunod namang tumaas ng kamay si Hailey kaya pinatayo naman sya ni sir.
"Sir, how old are you?" I heard Dahlia sigh and saw Marissa roll her eyes.
"I'm 24 years old, Ms, Andres." nakangiting sagot nya. Napatango naman si Hailey.
Wala nang nagtaas ng kamay kaya napangiti nalang si sir at nagsalita ulit.
"No more questions? Okay, let's start our lesson." magsusulat na sana sya ng may biglang kumatok sa pintuan. Napalingon kaming lahat doon maging si Kyle.
Nagsimulang maglakad si Sir Fernan para tignan kung sino yun. Ilang minuto din silang nagusap usap bago nya pinapasok kung sino mang bisita yun.
"Hi class, may bago kayong kaklase, so I hope you all be nice to her." her? Ok.
Minutes passed when a beautiful girl with a brown hair, brown eyes and cute cheekbone enter our room but I know that despite of her looks, she has an annoying attitude.
"Hi sisters and brothers, I'm Natasha Aera Saavedra, 19 years old. It's not so nice to meet you." she said and smile in sarcastic way. Tsk she never changed. She roam her eyes and landed to me. When she see me, she shouted and that makes me cover my ears. Damn, should I bring an headset from now on?
"Astridyy," she said and sat beside me. I just ignore her and get my notebook. I saw in my vision that she pouted.
And soon the class started.
* * *
Natapos na ang klase namin kay Sir Fernan at papunta na kami ngayon sa gym for our P.E class.
Katabi ko sa kanan si Aera sa kaliwa naman si Dahlia. And believe it or not, hindi magandang mapagitnaan ng dalawang baliw.
"Astrid, tabi tayo mamaya ok?" Dahlia said while pulling my shirt.
"No don't listen to that brat Astrid, come with me later ok?" Aera said on my left. Tsk, remind me to torture them before I kill them ok?
"Maldo andwae, sakin ka sasama Astrid, not with that bitchy gals."
"Hmp, don't listen to her, Astrid let's go."
And they started to pull me. Like a tag of war and I'm the rope.
"Let go!"
"No, you let go!"
Damn, I'm not a rope you idiots.
Ready na sana akong kumawala ng may isang brasong humila saakin palayo sa mga taong gusto akong paghiwalayin.
"You both are noisy, let's go." my savior said and drag me along. Sumunod naman sila Marissa habang naririnig ko pa din na nagaaway sila Dahlia at Aera.
"It's your fault,"
"No, it's yours,"
Narinig ko namang napa buntong hininga nalang si Kyle sa mga narinig.
"Will you please shut up?" and good thing, they did.
Mabilis kaming nakarating sa gymnasium ng tahimik at matiwasay dahil narin kay Kyle na hawak parin ang braso ko.
Nang makarating kami ay nadatnan namin ang coach kasama ang isang familiar na babae. I think I've seen her somewhere, di ko lang maalala.
Nang makita nya kami ay kumaway sya at ngumiti kaso ng makita nya ang kamay ni Kyle na nakahawak sa braso ko ay namumula na sya sa galit.
Nakarating na kami sa harap nila pero hindi parin inaalis ni Kyle ang kamay nya sa braso ko, na wala namang kaso sakin dahil pag pinatay ko na sya ay puputulan ko rin naman sya ng braso kaya sulitin nya na.
"Okay, so before we proceed go change your clothes first." we nod as a sign.
Tumalikod na kami at nagsimulang maglakad papuntang locker room.
"My arm," napatingin naman sakin si Kyle at sa kamay niyang may hawak sa braso ko. Marahas naman nyang kinuha yun dahilan para mapataas ang kilay ko. What's his problem?
"Psh." he said, nagpatiuna naman siyang maglakad kaya napatawa ang mga kaibigan nya.
"Pasensya na, Astrid. May mens nanaman siguro yun." natatawang paliwanag ni Jean kasabay nila Marissa pwera nalang sakin at kay Xander.
"Damn you Garcia, I can hear you." dahil sa narinig ay natahimik silang lahat dahilan para mapangisi ako.
Nauna na rin akong magalakad sa girls locker room para magpalit. Nang makarating ako ay pinuntahan ko ang locker ko sabay kuha ng damit. Tapos na akong magpalit ng dumating sila Aera.
"You're done?" Aera ask and went to her locker.
"Obviously." she just nod and started to wear her P.E uniform.
Palabas na sana ako ng may humila sa braso ko.
"Hey loser, anong ginawa mo kanina? Nakipaglandian ka sa baby ko?" this Mia girl shout.
"What? Di ka ba magpapaliwanag sakin? I'm the heiress bitch, learn to now your place." she said and smirk. I just look at her with a bored expression. I don't give a fvck to her shits.
"Sinusubukan mo talaga ako," mabilis ang pangyayari at namalayan ko na lang na nasa harap ko na si Mia habang pinipilit ko ang braso nya dahilan para maglikha ito ng isang malakas na tunog.
"I didn't know what your saying." sabi ko at pinakawalan sya. Mabilis naman syang sumugod sakin pero umiiwas lang ako, ayokong pagudin ang sarili ko para sakanya, she's just a waste of time.
"You slut, get away from my baby. I'm the heiress you should respect me." she still saying things about her.
"If you're the heiress, then act like one." I said making her more furious. Nakita ko naman na dumating sila Kyle at handa na sanang tumigil sila Jean pero hinarangan nya ito.
"He's mine, he's mine." she said, more like convincing herself, patuloy parin nya akong pinapaulanan ng suntok.
Malakas kong hinablot ang braso nya sabay pihit patalikod, tinuhod ko din ang tuhod nya dahilan para mapaluhod sya.
"He's not yours and he will never be yours." and with that, I left her dumbfounded.
* * *
Naka balik na kami sa gymnasium matapos ang nangyari, iniirapan parin ako ni Mia habang katabi ko parin ang dalawa nang pumasok ang coach namin.
"Maglalaro tayo ngayon ng basketball, kayo ang bahala kung saang grupo kayo sasali. No rules, but we have a time limit."
Dahil sa sinabi ng coach ay pumunta sila Hailey at Mia kila Kyle, samantalang pumunta naman samin sila Marissa at Jasmine.
"Matagal na din simula nang maglaro tayo ng magkalaban diba Marissa?" tanong ni Jasmine, sumangayon naman ang mga lalaki samantalang wala akong ganang lumakad papunta doon.
"It's five vs six." sabi ng coach at gumitna samin.
"Let's have a deal," sabi naman ni Marissa kay Kyle.
"What kind of deal?" tanong naman nya.
"If we win, isasali natin sa grupo sila Astrid." napatingin naman silang lahat sakin, habang inirapan naman ako ng dalawa- Hailey and Mia.
"Okay, if we win.." pabiting sabi ni Kyle. Nagaabang naman sila ng sasabihin nya.
"We will attend the aquaintance party." he said making their gasp. Ayos lang sakin, hindi naman ako-
"All of us." he said and look at me. I stare at him deadly pero parang wala lang sakanya.
Sasagot na sana ako nga pagtutol ng may dalawang boses ang tuluyang sumira ng mood ko.
"Deal,"
Sabay na sabi ng dalawa ko 'daw' kaibigan. Napatingin naman ako ng masama sakanila pero hindi nila ako dinapuan ng tingin. Napahinga ako ng malalim sabay punta sa pinaka gitna dahil ako ang matangkad saming lima.
Pumwesto narin si Kyle sa harap ko at ang coach sa gitna namin.
"Give me a good fight, Trid." giving me a nickname huh?
"Sure, Kyle." and smirk.
And the coach toss the ball, me and Kyle jump as high as we can but unfortunately, I won.
I pass the ball to Jasmine and she drib it, nakabantay sakanya si Xander na seryoso lang ang mukha. Mabilis na naagaw ni Marissa ang bola kay Xander sabay ngisi dito. Pumunta naman si Marissa malapit sa ring na walang nagbabantay kaya nashoot nya yung bola. Tumalon naman sa tuwa sila Aera at Dahlia.
Sa kalaban ang bola. Kay Kyle.
Napangisi na lang ako sa kawalan nya ng emosyon. Nasa tabi naman nya sila Hailey at Mia na walang ibang ginawa kundi magpacute at magpabebe kay Kyle.
Humarang naman ako sakanya na kinangisi nya. Mabis ko namang naagaw sakanya ang bola dahilan para mashoot ko ang bola mula sa three point line. Napangisi nalang ako ng makita silang nagulat sa ginawa ko.
Tagatak na ang pawis naming lahat maliban kila Hailey at Mia, dahil naka limang rounds na kami at mukhang mag oovertime pa. Dikit ang laban pero mas lamang kami ng 2 puntos, at 10 seconds nalang ang natitira sa time. Isang shoot ko nalang ay kami na ang panalo.
Paulit ulit ko lang na pinapatalbog ang bola at humahanap ng tyempo, nang sa wakas ay malapit na akong makashoot ay may malakas na bumangga sakin dahilan para malakas akong mapahiga at mauntog sa sahig. Masakit at tila nahihilo ako sa nangyare, walang lakas kong binuksan ang mata ko at tumambad sakin ang mukha na isa sa pinaka kinaiinisan ko- Mia.
Huli ko syang nakita bago ako lamunin ng dilim.
* * *
Naiden Pov.
We all shouted, when we saw Trid collapse in the floor. Mabilis ko syang pinuntahan at kinalong sa hita ko ang ulo nya.
"You witch, wala ka talagang magawa ano?" Natasha shouted but Mia just laugh at her.
"So what? I don't care kung anong mangyare sakanya, she's nothing but a piece of trash." she said and roll her eyes. Nakita ko naman na susugod na sana si Aera ng pigilan sya ni Jean at Dahlia.
"Stop it, we need to get her to the clinic." I said making them stop. Dahan dahan ko syang binuhat na parang bagong kasal at mabilis na nilingon si Mia.
"If anything bad happens to her, brace yourself." I warned her, hindi naman dapat palaging sinusunod ang gusto nya psh.
Naglakad na ako palabas ng gym pero patuloy parin syang sumisigaw at tinatawag ako pero hindi ko na nilingon.
Ilang minuto lang ay nakarating na kami ng clinic at natignan narin siya ng nurse.
"She's ok, medyo naalog lang ang utak nya at nabigla sya sa nangyare kaya sya nagcollapse but as of now, she's stable." tumango nalang ako at nagpasalamat naman sila Marissa sakanya.
Kunting katahimikan ng magsalita si Marissa.
"Aiden, what about the deal?" she said and they all agreed.
"Well because of what happened and the score you win." masaya maman silang sumigaw kaya napangiti si Xander.
"Pero di naman fair yun at dahil nga nangyari yun sasama na kami sa aquaintance party." I know she would say that. Hindi sya yung tipo ng babae na matutuwa sa pustahan pag nanalo ng dahil sa ganto.
"Ok,"
"But before that I think we have to celebrate." Jasmine added, napasangayun naman sila at winelcome ang dalawang babae na kasama namin.
I went near to Trid and saw her sleeping peacefuly.
"Welcome to the group, so.." I grab her hand and shake it slightly.
"Friends." and before I knew, I'm already smiling.
Well I guess, this will be the start of a new beggining.
