A Sinful Pleasure (Island Of Sin #2)

11

Two months have past and I can't still believe I am really studying here.

I am not a fan of nature. But for my four months stay here in the island, where every morning I witness the sun rising behind the endless sea and setting behind the trees, and almost every day I can hear the crashing waves on the shore, I just found myself being comfortable and starting to like the nature.

Si Daddy ay nasa Amerika parin madalang nalang siyang tumawag. I kinda miss him even we always video call and he said some words and made me understand. Hindi narin ako nagtanong kung bakit sila natagalan at hindi pa umuuwi. Because Dad's answer is always the same.

While my relationship with Raven is... improving? I don't know. He is still the same with his cold and snobbish expression. Ang masasabi ko lang ay mas close na kami? While June is still the same. Annoying and playful.

"Huy, April! Ang tagal mo talagang magbihis ng school uniform. Akala mo naman ay rarampa!" sigaw ni June galing sa labas habang kumakatok.

"It's still early June. Nine pa ang first subject ko!"

"Eight thirty magsisimula ang klase ko! It's already 8:16. Baka ma-late na naman ako!"

Annoyed with June, mas binagalan ko ang kilos. Bahala siyang maghintay sa akin.

It's Tuesday at sasabay lang ako sa kaniya. Minsan ay Raven ang maghahatid sa akin kapag maaga ang klase ko.

I smile infront of the mirror and look at myself wearing my college uniform.

I fix the color yellow scarf in my neck and tied it in a ribbon. The black vest is worn over the white blouse that is tuck in the black skirt. The skirt must be in knee length but I said Raven that I like it to be 1 inch above the knee. Mabuti nalang at pinayagan. My stocking is in color black and I'm wearing a two inch heels shoes.

"Late na ako. Sa susunod talaga ay maglakad ka ka nalang!"

June shook his head, halatang naiirita na siya sa akin. It's already 8:31 and we are still in the mansion. Nauna siyang maglakad at sumunod ako sa kaniya.

"Huy, June. Galit ka na niyan? Tatawagin ko na ba si Lily?"

"Shut up."

Nakangisi lang akong nakasunod kay June.

My first day in school, si Raven ang naghatid sa akin. He just dropped me and waited until I enter the school. It's a private school where some elite studies. Ang iba naman ay nasa karatig na lugar at dito nagustuhang mag-aral. I don't know kung magkano ang tuition. Raven take care of everything.

All I need to do is to study hard and be a good girl. Good girl?

"Si Lily hindi ba sasabay?" tanong ko habang papasok na kami ng sasakyan ni June.

"Nauna na."

Mabibilang lang sa daliri ko kung ilang beses na sumabay sa amin si Lily. Kung hindi ko siya pinipilit ay hindi siya sumasabay. Doon din siya nag-aaral sa pinapasukan namin. I don't want course she's taking.

Halatang naiinis parin sa June noong bumababa na kami at p-in-ark ang kaniyang sasakyan. Mabilis siyang lumabas at naghalf-run pa.

The school has four buildings infront and a wide ground in the middle. It's not big as the universities and colleges in the city but it's big enough to be build in an island.

"Your earlier than the usual."

David smile at me.

Siya ang unang lumapit sa akin at nakipagkaibigan noong first ko rito. Kasama niya ang dalawa niyang barkada at may dalawa ring babae.
