I Fell In Love With A Kiss Stealer

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

The Smell of alcohol reeks in the air, the room is filled with students, some dancing in the middle following the rhythm of the music played by.

Others eat in the corner with their friends and partners. Most noticeable in the crowd are their school idols sitting around in one big table. Amidst the loud crowd they were sitting silently, together.

Walang ni isa ang gumagawa ng ingay, mga nagkikibuan at nagbibigayan lamang ng tingin na tila ba ay nagkakaintindihan sila.

"I can't contact those three!" Drich hissed and threw his phone on their table as a sign of resignation.

Xen, Talia's boyfriend sighed and leaned in his seat, "Hindi kaya may nangyari sakanila?" Everyone looks at Priscilla, even Adrien.

Lalo lamang nadagdagan ang bigat ng tension sa lamesa nang dumating ang isang waiter at binigyan sila ng tig-iisang basong juice at alak.

Pinaalis agad ito ni Prestley saka nagsalita habang pinaglalaruan ang kanyang baso, "Kung wala kang mabuting sasabihin..."

Matalas na tingin ang ipinukol nito na ikinatungo ng babae "manahimik ka or better off fv--"

"Prestley nakarami ka na yata." pagpipigil ni Axel. Isang malakas na pag-usog ng upuan ang ginawa ni Yzac. Ang mga mata ay walang ekspresyon, napabuntong hininga sina Elias saka tumango, "Tayo na pala magpe-perform" sabi pa nito.

Because of Yzac's persuasion nakasali si Elias kahit na third year pa lamang ito.

Agad siyang inakbayan ni Lucas saka ngumisi, "porket wala dito si Yamara! Chill, panigurado late ang mga yon."

"Pasalamat ka Elias miyembro ka namin kung hindi wala ka dito." sabi naman ni Vander

Bigla naman silang sinipa ni Liam saka hinatak paalis doon.

"Hindi kaya nag-celebrate muna sila ng birthday ni Jinx bago pumunta dito?" Hindi nag-paawat si Elias kahit na hinatak na siya nina Vander papalayo

Maski sa tenga nina Adrien ay hindi nakawala ang litanyang iyon. Hindi niya alam na ngayon pala ang kaarawan ni Jinx, kahit na pinaghanda ni Yzac ito noong nakaraang linggo.

Naiyukom nalang niya ang kanyang kamao saka sumandal sa upuan. Bakas sa mukha ni Adrien na wala itong gana sa nangyayari at halatang puyat ito, ngunit hindi naging hadlang para iwasan siya ng mga kababaihan ngayon.

Priscilla left the table soon enough to dance with her friends.

Adrien sighs and looks at his band mate. They were also bored except for Drich who was dancing with some girl.

The lights suddenly go off and the crowd goes wild as soon as the sound of guitar plays, a spotlight turns to Yzac along with his band mates.

Each plays their roles and sings their hearts out with their song "youth"

With each word coming out from his mouth, his eyes wander through the crowd, obviously, searching for someone.

Prestley noticing it smiled wickedly, he snaps his fingers. No one noticed it because they are busy partying.

"Let me know if someone signs under these names. Fast."

Leaving the table, Prestley smirked.

Malakas na hiyawan kasabay ng makukulay na pailaw sa loob ang matatanaw sa labas ng venue.

Nag-aalinlangan kung lalabas ay bigla siyang tinulak ng isang babae, "Get out! You're already late!"

Nakaramdam agad ng hiya si Jinx kaya napakagat labi ito saka hawak sa kanyang suot, agad bumaba si Rin saka tinanggal ito at tinulak siya.

"...Please don't let my work go to waste."

Agad may humatak kay Jinx saka inakyat. Agad kumaway sakanila sina Aisaka saka umalis.

Habang paakyat ay hindi maalis ang tingin sakanila ng mga estudyante. Ang kanilang bawat hakbang paakyat ay minamatyagaan ng bawat isa, "Pinagtitinginan tayo." bulong ni Talia saka dumikit sa dalawa.

Niyakap ni Jinx ang sarili niya saka umatras nang hatakin siya muli ni Yamara, "Isa pa ihuhulog kita dito nyeta."

Nanlalamig ang dalaga sa suot niya napapaisip nga ito kung hindi ba nanlalamig ang dalawa. Agad silang nagtungo sa receptionist saka nag-fill up.

They handled the paper back and squeled, "Tara tara! Nandoon na sina Prestley!"

"Lagot ako kay Xen..."

"Do i really have... To go?"

She asks and the answer they gave to her was a curse. Besides, they can hear Yzac's voice outside.

The receptionist types something on his phone and hides it fast.

The three girls walked in, as usual everyone started to stare at them and murmured.

Yamara scoffed and crossed her arms, "gandang ganda yata sa'kin."

Napailing si Talia habang si Jinx ay nakahawak kay Talia na parang nawawalang tuta.

Habang papalapit sila ng papalapit sa loob ay siyang papalakas ang boses nina Yzac, "sabi ko na grupo nila ang kumakanta n'yan!"

Napabuntong hininga si Jinx saka binuksan ang pinto.

Sa pagbukas nila ng pinto ay umalingasaw agad ang amoy ng alak sa hangin, kasabay ay ilan na pagkahyper ng kanilang kamag-aral sa pagkanta ng Blazing Top.

"You pulled my hand, saying you wanted to see the stars
We sat on the rooftop at sunset"

Tinapik siya ni Talia at pinaayos bago ngumiti. Natulala si Jinx kay Yzac saka napahakbang papalapit habang unti-unting tumatahimik ang nasa likuran.

Kasabay ay ang pagngisi ng iilan sakanila.

Agad umatras sina Yamara nang tumama ang spotlight kay Jinx.

Lumakas ang kantyaw na siyang nagpamula kay Jinx, dahilan na rin ng ngiti na sumilay sa labi ni Yzac.

"Every time I look up in the sky
There’s not a single star
It’s alright, you’re my universe, shine bright for me"

Ang katagang iyon ang nagpalakas muli ng ingay sa loob. Jinx is wearing a pastel flowy dress paired with black-laced corset.

Hair freshly combed, a small portion of her hair tied behind looking like a dreamy Goddess.

Everyone was in awe staring right at her.

"I tried to look for something like you
I tried to pull you"

"Nakakasuka bigla," ani ni Yamara saka napairap.

Hindi rin maiwasan na tignan ito dahil sa suot niya. Buckless black fitted dress paired with long white gloves adorned with small diamonds and white roses on the hem. The dress sparkles like a night sky.

"Nandiyan naman si Prestley. Speaking of, it seems he can't tore his gaze away from you." Talia smiled, she looks like an angel with her white gown, unlike Jinx hers has many layers and below there has faint patterns of flowers along with glitters.

"Every time I look up in the sky
There’s not a single star
It’s alright, you’re my universe, shine bright for me"

Indeed, everyone was still talking about them especially when a Love song started to play and Yzac walked towards Jinx.

An act which made one person infuriated. Enough to look like he's ready to commit a crime.
