CHAPTER 6 -- SAVED BY THE ANGEL
HELAENA'S POV
Yes! Day off ni Papa kaya pinagamit niya ang kanyang kotse sa'kin. Peste lang at kailangan ko pang i drop off ang pasaway kong kapatid sa kanyang school, which is socannoying kasi ang lakas ng soundrip niya habang nasa loob kami ng sasakyan. Puro mga scream at growl lang naman ang maririnig. Is that even a music? Tss! He's part of a band kasi. He's the bassist to be exact. Buti na lang at nakadating kami agad sa school niya at wala ng maingay.
I always want to have a car pero sabi ni Papa pag naka graduate na lang daw ako. Gawd! He's spoiling his surprise, diba dapat hindi niya muna sinabi na reregaluhan niya ko ng sasakyan after the graduation para naman may konting excitement. Eh kaso nasabi na niya. Spoiler, tss!
Physical Education ang subject namin and ofcourse were on our P.E uniform. Pero ang tatlong ungas na 'yon ay hindi man lang naka uniform, they are wearing their usual outfit. But I can't deny the fact that they are totally hot and gorgeous as always. Oh men! Am I complimenting the group of the devil? Okay I just did.
Buti na lang at natapos agad ang walang kwentang P.E namin. Basketball kasi ang P.E namin. And damn! I'm not good in any sports. I'm not the athletic one. I'm always the girl with popcorn and soda, screaming my lungs out on the bleachers for those effin' players. In short I'm just a cheerer, ang tagapalakpak. Poor me!
And oh my! Ang galing din palang maglaro ng grupo ng devil na si Brylle. Especially him. He got the skills. I wonder why hindi siya sumali sa varsity. But don't ever wonder why, Helaena. Wala siyang pakialam sa kahit anong org. o club dito sa Duncanville. He's just a school wrecker, a jerk, no, a damn jerk. Okay, I'm humiliating him, but I don't care. Who cares anyway? Those bopbop babies? Damn losers! Tss!
Nauna ng lumabas ng gym ang mga classmates ko at naiwan ako sa loob. Pumunta pa kasi ako sa C.R para maghugas ng kamay. Si Cahli nauna na rin, may gagawin pa daw kasi siya sa library. Such a book worm. Masyadong madumi ang kamay ko kakahawak sa bola kanina. Naiinis pa'ko sa tuwing naaalala kong pinagtatawanan ako nina Brylle habang nag babasketball ako. I know I look so pathetic dribbling that ball that makes me also look soooo freaking ... urrggghh... clown! Oo as in clown, eh kasi nga nakakatawa talaga ako habang naglalaro. I really don't have any idea how to play that game. Curse that game. Leche!
Paglabas ko ng ladies room tsaka nag ring ang phone ko, I'm about to answer it when someone grab my phone and ran away. "Cellphone ko." Sigaw ko dun sa lalake. Kung mabilis siyang tumakbo, mabilis din akong tumakbo. Nakita ko siyang pumasok sa locker room ng mga boys, no choice ako kundi pumasok kung gusto ko pang mabawi ang precious phone ko na regalo sakin ng Parents ko nung birthday ko. It really has a sentimental value.
Pagpasok ko sa locker room ng mga boys, they are all looking at me. And to my surprise half of them are naked, no, they have towels on their lower part. Kakatapos lang nilang mag shower. I know, dahil basa pa ang buhok nila. Napalunok ako sa nakikita ko. My innocent eyes, oh noooo! I look away, then nakita ko yung lalakeng kumuha ng cellphone ko. Tinapunan ko siya ng masamang tingin.
"Give me back my phone." Inis na utos ko dun sa lalake. Pero nag smirk lang siya sakin at parang nang iinsulto pa.
"Angelic face with a bitch mouth." Singhal nung isang nakatapis na lalake. Angelic face? Bitch mouth? Dang! They are really getting into my nerves. Kailan ko ba sila pinag salitaan ng masama para sabihin nilang I have a bitch mouth? Eh ngayon ko pa lang naman sila nakita, ah no, nakita ko na pala sila. Yeah right, I have seen them before. Pano ko ba makakalimutan ang mukha ng crush ni Cahli na sa bandang side ng lokcer room? They are the soccer and basketball players. Minsan na kasi kaming nanonood ng laro nila.
"Watch your mouth, dumbass!" Ganting sabi ko sa kanya. Naiinis na kasi ako. At wala akong pakialam kahit madami sila. "All I want now is my phone back!"
"Woah! Tama nga ang sinabi nila, matapang ka at mapangahas. Yan ang gusto namin sa mga babae. Interesting." Shit! Kailan pako naging sikat? Tss! Oo nga pala kinalaban ko ang pinaka mataas sa school nila na si devil Brylle kaya malamang pati pangalan ko dawit sa kasikatan niya. A bitch trying to fight the Duncanville's Evil Prince. How lame!
Unti-unting lumalapit sakin ang dalawang lalake. What are they trying to do? Don't tell me, gagawin nga nila ang masamang iniisip ko? Oh! No. Mother, father, brother, sister noooooo! I was about to escape when they hold my both hands and dragged me to the table and lay me there.
"Gett off me, you jerk!" Pagpupumiglas ko. Pero kahit anong gawin ko hindi ako makaalis sa kinalalagyan ko. I'm weak compared to these cowards.
"It's time to play our dirty little game." Nakangising sabi ng lalakeng nasa malapit sa table ko. Is this really happening? Am I having a nightmare? Oh! Please, wake me up. I don't want to lose my oh-so-virginity to these dumbasses. HELL NO!
"Let me go!" Sigaw ko sa kanila. Tila lalo pa silang nasisiyahan kapag nagpupumiglas ako and some are laughing, evil laugh to be exact. Curse all of them!
"You just fall into our little trap, you brat." Then he lean towards me and disgustingly touch my face with his hands. Wait, did he just say trap? So, naka palano talaga ang pagkuha sa cellphone ko para makadating ako sa kasuka-sukang lugar na 'to. Who ever planned this will regret it. Or should I say, I am the one who will regret coming into this disgusting place.
The hand of this man leaning on me started to wander around my body.
"Don't you ever, ever, ever dare to touch me again, jerk!" Galit na sigaw ko sa kanila.
"Ooppss! I'm sorry, I just did, again." He smirk. The next thing I knew is he ripped my upper shirt. Exposing my cleavage. I wanted to scream in anger and fear, fear for my self. I started to have teary eyes. There's no way I can escape the WHOREmones of these dumbass jerks. "Please, no." Mahinang sabi ko. Nanginginig na kasi ako sa takot. I dont want to end up on this disgusting and inhumane way.
I felt the breath of this guy on my neck, he was about to kiss it when someone shouted in anger. "Let her go or all of you will DIE!" Galit na sabi ng isang lalake na pamilyar ang boses. Lahat ng naroroon tumingin sa kinaroroonan ng front door.
"B-Bryant?" Nginig na sabi nung isang lalake.
Uni-unting naglakad papunta sa direksyon ko si Bryant. Inalis naman nung dalawang lalake ang pagkakahawak sa kamay ko. I covered my body with my hands, crossing them. I cried even harder.
"As the President of the Student Council all of you will be punish. DETENTION. And I will tell the President of the University to give you the 1st offense on doing such a .... crime. Yeah, this is a crime. Your Parents will be knowledgeable about this. And worst, you will all be expelled." Pagpapahayag ni Bryant. I'm stilll sobing in tears.
Lumapit sakin si Bryant at kinuha niya sa dala niyang sports bag ang isang tshirt at pinantakip sa'kin. "Come on." Yaya niya sakin in a sweet way. Inalalayan niya 'kong bumaba sa mesa. He protected me. He embrace me while I'm on his chest sobing.
"Pakiusap, Bryant, huwag mong gawin sa'min 'to. Napag utusan lang kami." Pagmamakaawa nung isang player.
"Napagutusan?" Tanong ni Bryant.
"Ang--ang kapatid mo, si-si Brylle. Sinabi niya na kapag hindi namin siya sinunod patatalsikin niya kami sa team and worst ipapa kick out sa Duncanville."
It was the devil's plan. I should have known this from the start. He's so cruel. Nakalimutan kong pinagbantaan niya pala ako. And this is the devil's coward plan.
Feeling ko hinang hina ako sa mga nangyari. I can't even utter a single word. Ang sama-sama niya. Napaka walang puso. Pero ngayong nasa bisig ako ni Bryant pakiramdam ko I'm safe and sound. It's a good thing that his timing was good, to save a helpless girl like me, who've been humiliated by thoese cowards assholes. Pinagbantaan lang na maaalis sa team magagawa ng ipagpalit ang kanilang dangal? Really such a coward. But I cant blame them though. They've been black mailed by the devil.
"Pakiusap, Bryant, bigyan mo pa kami ng isa pang pagkakataon."
Hindi na nagsalita pa si Bryant pero ramdam kong galit na galit siya sa nalaman namin. Inilayo niya 'ko sa lugar na 'yon. Pag alis namin do'n, hindi ko na mapigilang yakapin siya ng mahigpit. Siya lang ngayon ang pwede kong sandalan sa mga oras na'to, kaya wala nakong pakialam kahit mabasa pa ng luha ang kanyang uniporme. Niyakap niya din ako ng mahigpit at hinaplos ang buhok ko.
"I'm already here, you're safe now, nothing to worry about." He hugged me so tight. So tight that he don't want to let me go. Yeah, I feel safe now. Safe from the devil....

BRYANT'S POV
Dinala ko si Helaena sa clinic. Sinabi ko sa Nurse na hindi maganda ang pakiramdam niya kaya pinyagan niya itong manatili sa loob ng clinic hanggang bumuti ang pakiramdam nito.
Nung nakita ko kanina ang ginagawa sa kanya ng mga players sa locker room, bigla na lang umakyat ang dugo sa ulo ko. Nagpupuyos ako sa galit. My fist want to land on their faces, but I cant'. As the President of the Student Council, kailangan kong gawin ang tungkulin ko, I'm a peace maker not a violent starter.
I saw her crying that makes my heart melt. She was surely pleaded for help. Buti na lang at naisipan kong mag shower muna bago mag practice, no, actually nag sha-shower talaga ako before practice. Good thing, I saved her. She's full of fear when I saw her. Sino ba naman ang babaeng hindi matatakot sa ganong sitwasyon? She must've been gang rape with those flirty dumbass guys.
Hindi ko na talaga mapapalampas ang ginagawang ito ni Brylle. Someone must stop him. Hindi ko hahayaang matulad ang inosenteng si Helaena sa mga naging biktima niya noon. So, I search for him. Nang makasalubong ko si Venice.
"Bryant, I just want to remind--"
Hindi ko na pinatapos ang sasabihin ni Venice. 'Cause this is not the right time to talk to her. "Venice, not now." I stared blankly then continue walking.
"Where are you going?" Hindi ko na lang siya sinagot sa tanong niyang 'yon. I know I hurt her, I will just explain it to her later. Hindi ko lang siyang pwedeng kausapin ngayon dahil mas kailangan kong kausapin si Brylle.
I'm on my way to the rooftop, which I believe he's there together with his group. Isa sa mga tambayan nila ang rooftop. Hindi pa man ako nakaka abot sa pinaka mataas nang marinig ko na ang malakas na pag sigaw ni Brylle.
"Mga bobo talaga kayo! Hindi ko sinabing gawan niyo siya ng masama. Ang sabi ko takutin niyo lang diba? Mga wala talaga kayong kwenta."
"Pa-pasensya na Brylle. Atsaka may bigla kasing nakialam. Tinulungan siya ng kapatid mo na si--si B-Bryant."
"Si Bryant?"
And then I showed up. They are all staring at me. And my brother Brylle just gave me a tough look. His deadly glare.
"Umalis na kayo mga gunggong bago ko pa bawiin ang mga buhay niyo!" Galit na utos ni Brylle dun sa mga lalake kanina sa locker room. At dali-dali silang nagtakbuhan pababa. Linapitan ko naman si Brylle.
"Anong masamang hangin ang nagdala sayo dito? You're not allowed in here, kasi ang alam ko Music Room ang teritoryo mo."
"Tigilan mo na si Elle--Helaena."
"What are you now? Her hero? Ah no, her guardian Angel rather." He smirk. Nakaupo pa rin siya sa isang mala Haring upuan habang nakatayo ako sa harapan niya. At nakaupo naman sa mahabang sofa sa gilid ang dalawa niyang kaibigan. May kasama pang babae si Thunder.
"I'm telling you, STOP whatever bullshit you're doing. It's not right. And as the President of the Student Council I might punish you for doing those horrible things."
"So, this is not about that transferee, it's about your position in Duncanville. Stop acting like you're really following Duncanville's rules, it's not the School, it's Dad. Ayaw mong masira ang tiwalang binigay niya sayo kaya gusto mo tamalahat ang ginagawa mo para mapuri kana naman." Napatayo na siya habang sinasabi niya yun sa'kin.
"For God's sake this is not about Dad. This is about doing what's right. So, stop being childish."
"Anong gusto mo? Ipatayo kita ng Rebulto? O baka naman balak mong maging Santo? Baka naman lumampas kana sa langit niyan." Pang iinsultong sabi niya sakin. Ayoko talaga siyang patulan, pero kailangan ko siyang patigilin sa masamang ginagawa niya. It's not about Dad. It's about him doing wrong. Ayokong lalo pa siyang mapasama. And about Helaena, wala siyang laban compare kay Brylle. So, I'm helping her out.
"I'm telling you Bryant, I will do everyhting I want. No one can stop me, not even you. Kaya huwag mo ng sayangin ang oras ko sa walang kwentang sermon mo, umalis kana dito. NGAYON NA!" He waved his hand away. Sign, that he really want me out of this rooftop.
"I'm leaving, but it doesn't mean that I'm letting you do all the crazy things you want to do. Just like you, you can't stop me on doing what's right. I will protect her from you." Tsaka niya'ko tinapunan ng masamang tingin. His deadliest glare again. I look away then left him.
I will protect Elle from him. Pakiramdam ko yun ang tamang gawin. Nung nakita ko siya kanina, pakiramdam ko kailangan ko na siyang tulungan. Kahit na hindi ko pa siya ganon kakilala. Ayokong makita siyang umiiyak ulit. Ayokong nakikita siyang natatakot na naman. Ayoko. At ayokong lalong mapasama ang kapatid ko sa mga ginagawa niya.
