VLANCE

"Mauna na ako, Vlance. Kailangan ko pang matapos 'yong term paper. Dapat maipasa ko 'yon kay Prof... ng masmaaga pa sa deadline," Gino said.

"Masiyado mo namang kina-career ang pag-aaral. Ain't you one of the dean's listers last sem? Why still bother working hard for it?" I jested.

"Dapat lang, 'no. Kailangan naming mapanatili ang mataas na grado. Dahil kung hindi, mawawalan kami ng scholarship. Hindi kami mayaman tulad mo; alam mo naman kung gaano kahalaga para saamin ang makapag tapos," Dannelle said.

"Siya nga pala, ito..." Dannelle took something from her bag. It's a book.

"Pinahiram 'yan sa akin ni Sir Duke noong nakaraang bumisita ako sa inyo."

"Aba! Lord of the Flies? Ang daya mo naman, Dannelle! Bakit hindi mo man lang sinabi sa akin na mayroon ka palang libro 'yan."

"Nako! Pasensya na, Gino. Hindi ko na binangit sa 'yo kase hiniram ko lang din ang librong 'to. At isa pa, pansin ko na abala ka ngayon sa mga projects mo at pinagsasabay mo pa ang trabaho at eskwel... Kung gusto mo, ipaalam mo muna kay sir Duke na gusto mo rin hiramin ang librong 'to."

"'wag mo nang alalahanin, Gino. Meron din akong libro niyan. Ipahihiram ko na lang."I batted in.

"Nagbabasa ka ng libro?"

"Of course! I've already finished all the series of The Lord of the Rings. Not olny that... I also have numerous collections of other books like, Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hobbits, Manga and comics book, and all sort of whatever like... Vampires, werewolves, sorcery—"

"Hay nako!" They both sighed in displeased.

"Ano ka ba, Vlance? Lord of the Flies, hindi Lord of the Rings. Ano pa nga ba'ng aasahan namin sa 'yo? Hay nako!"

"Come on, those were just the same..."

"Bahala ka sa buhay mo. Makaalis na nga at baka maimpluwensyahan mo pa ng kagagahan ang matalino kung utak... Dannelle, ikaw, bawas-bawasan mo pagsaman kay Vlance kung ayaw mong mawalan ng scholarship..."

"Hey... Are you mocking me? Hoy, Gino! San ka pupunta? Hindi pa ako tapos..."

"What the hell? That guy... Urrgh!" I grunt out.

Dannelle just giggled. "Hayaan mo na si Gino. Ganoon talaga talaga kapag sobrang talino, minsa masungit."

I just let out a chuckle feeling dumbfounded. His action just reminded me of my lawfully wedded husband.

Fuck it!

"Vlance, Kailangan ko na rin mauna at may pasok pa ako. Ilang minuto na lang at susunod na ang pangalawang klase ko. Mag-ingat ka at hanga't maaari, umiwas ka sa gulo. Nagkakaintindihan ba tayo?"

"Fine. Whatever."

"Oh siya, paaalam!"

"Bye!" And there, I was left alone. What should I do next?

Hmm? I was thinking. "Alam ko na!"

DUKE

"You have slain an enemy"

"Double kill"

"Triple kill!"

"Maniac!"

"Savage!"

"Killing Spree!"

I got startled when I felt Jane poke me from behind. I tilted up my head when I heard my dad cleared his throat just to call my attention. I know he could sense I wasn't paying any attention to our meeting.
