"I think I had no choice!"
Anya kay Rain habang nag mamaneho papunta sa kanilang paaralan.
"About what?"
Hindi niya sinagot ang binata, It was about Leo. Naisip niyang panahon na para harapin niya ang impertinenting lalaki kahit paman sinabi nya noong hindi na mag kokross ang kanilang landas.
"We will see each other again, whether do you like it or not!"
Naalala pa niyang sabi nito.
"Haissst. .Whatever!"
Nasabunutan niya ang sarili.
Sophia was driving in a moderate speed ng bigla nalang may sumulpot sa harap nila na tila nag hahamon ng karera.
She suddenly step on the brake na ikinasubsob ni Rain sa dash board.
"What the heck!"
wala sa sarili niyang mura, pero sa halip na mag sorry ang mga ito, nag dirty finger pa ito sa kanya at pinagtawanan sya ng malakas.
"Are you ok?"
May pag alala niyang tanong kay Rain, bigla namang nahawakan ni Rain ang kanyang braso ng makita ang pagdidilim ng kanyang mukha.
"Chill. !" she smiled. "Fasten your seatbelt!"
Utos niya sa lalaking napaawang ang bibig. Sophia step on the accelarator, she was already in her competative mood.
She was driving fast na halos ikatanggal ng kaluluwa ni Rain sa kanyang katawan.
"This is driving me crazy.!"
He hissed silently, Rain knows how crazy she is lalo na sa pagdating sa mga ganitong sitwasyon. Ayaw na ayaw nito ang mga abusadong mga drivers.
"Your killing me!"
Reklamo ni Rain sa kanya, medyo busy ang naturang highway ng mga uras na iyon kaya kahit paman gaano kagaling ang dalagang magmani obra ng manibela di parin niya maiwasang kabahan.
"Hold on!"
aniyang bigla nalang iniliko ang manibela.
"The traffic police will catch you for over speeding—"
"There's no such law in here, just let me teach those reckless jerk!"
Anyang hindi nagpaawat, ng magkaroon sya ng pagkakataong maunahan ang mga hinayupak, she suddenly block her car in their way, dahil sa di inaasahang pangyayari napilitang mag brake ng kung sino mang lulan ng black sedan.
"What the hell are you doing—bitch?"
Galit na galit na sigaw ng lalaki ng bumaba ito sa sasakyan. He was inspecting the tire dahil sa biglaan nitong pag brake.
"You don't know how much this damn—"
Natigil ito ng makitang mabuti ang kanyang sasakyan, her car is way more expensive than his.
Sophia took her baseball bat in the back seat and drag it. Para namang nakakita ng multo ang dalawang lalaki when he saw what she was holding.
"Sis, what are you going to do?"
Natataranta namang napasunod si Rain sa kanya.
"We're getting late!"
"I don't care how much this damn car cost, when you almost killed us!"
She swing her bat saka walang kaabog abog na pinalo ang window shield ng sasakyan ng lalaki, she keep on hitting it hanggang sa mabasag ito.
"Stop it. .stop!"
Natatarantang sigaw ng dalawang lalaki, kagaya nila studyante rin ang mga ito pero sa ibang school nga lang.
"SMSH? what are perfect timing!"
Bulong niya sa sarili.
"This car is brand new, for fuck—!"
"Ah brand new ba kamo?"
Anyang nagtatagis ang bagang, hihinto na sana sya ng ma trigger na naman sa sinabi ng dalawa.
"I told you, wala akong pakialam. !"
This time she already lost her sanity.
"Brand new pala huh? Tingnan ko lang hanggang saan aabot itong bwesit na sasakyan ninyo!"
The car was already wrecked ng tigilan niya ito. Nag mukha tuloy syang psychopath sa pananaw ng dalawang nakatulalang lalaki.
Hinipan niya ang buhok na nakaharang sa kanyang mukha bago nagsalita.
"Next time, drive nicely— haissst!"
Anyang inundayan ang mga ito ng palo na hinarang naman ni Rain.
"Call a towing truck bago kupa sunugin yang lintik na yan!"
Inis na inis nyang bulyaw sa dalawa bago nilayasan ang mga ito.
"You're a psycho!"
Di mapigilang sumbat ni Rain sa kanya.
"I'm a psycho, so what?"
Inis na inis parin niyang bulyaw rito.
Pinaharorot niya ang saksakyan ng mabilis, di nalang nagsalita si Rain baka mapasukan na naman ng demonyo ang utak nito at baka itapon sya sa labas.
Wala pang limang minuto ng makarating sila sa paaralan, sa kabila ng aberyang nangyari they still reach on time.
She drop Rain in his school building and took a short cut, as usual sa pader na naman sya dumaan but this time it wasn't Mr. Terrorist kundi si Moira ang nakabantay.
"What are you doing here?"
Nagkagulatan pa silang dalawa.
"I'm a student duty, dito yong post ko. Ikaw why you come all the way here?"
Pinagpag niya na muna ang nagusot na palda.
"I'm in a hurry, may kailangan akong puntahan!"
Aalis na sana siya ng magsalita si Moira.
"Catherine's been missing!"
kabado nitong sabi.
"And the chief alliance is investigating it, and he threatened us to make this whole school in chaos pag walang—!"
"Where we could see him?"
"What are you going to do? Are you going to challenge him?"
Moira asked her in shocked.
"Is that necessary?"
"Well Catherine played an important part in their organization, challenging him would be better but winning against him is way to impossible!"
"Sino nakakakilala sa kanya?"
She asked ignoring her.
"Leo. .but that nutcase is not easy to convince, either!"
"What will happened if we lost?"
Curious niyang tanong.
"We will be under those jerks, we will be their source of money and a shuttle, They're going to rob us in the streets, saka gugulpihin nila pag hindi nag bigay!"
Naikuyom ni Sophia ang kanyang mga kamay, malala na pala ang problema ng kanilang skwelahan wala man lang siyang kaalam-alam.
All she knew is that the school is having an internal dispute with the bullies under Catherine dahil sa alliance. Who would have known ganito na pala kalala ang sitwasyon.
"Why something like this is happening in here, wala bang kaalam alam ang mga administrator?"
"They knew, but one thing is for sure nasa paylist sila ni Catherine!"
Sophia was shocked to heard it, kung ganoon pala. Whatever is happening in their school is like an old practice, that's why everyone is turning a blind eye.
Tama nga ang desisyon niyang magpalit ng mga tagapamahala.
"We're just going to break the alliance—!"
"NO!"
Moira suddenly blurted out.
"You should take over it instead, to make us safe. breaking the alliance means disbanding it, what if may iba na namang maglakas loob na magtayo ng fraction?"
Napabuntong hininga sya ng wala sa uras, she already had to much to think idadagdag pa ito.
"We will talk about it later and make sure you're not playing with me or else!"
She give her a "You're dead!" sign. Tumango lamang si Moira, she already had an idea what happened to Catherine at ayaw din niyang mangyari sa kanya ang nangyari sa babae.
"It serves her right, anyway!"
Ani Moira sa sarili.
