KISSING MY KRYPTONITE

(A/N: UNEDITED)

Cambridge University Student Politics is no similar to Philippine politics. Actually, it's filled with fun and excitement. We were able to pull off the Miting De Avance, a lot of anxious students attended to see and hear for themselves the platforms of every candidates aspiring to be student leaders.

"Hey, you don't look happy. What's wrong?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Blain sa 'kin.

"I'm fine, gutom lang 'to. We did great, we should celebrate."

We went Heaven CU-Land for a little celebration.

Kinaya kong itawid ang Miting De Avance dahil hindi naman nagkulang ang support system ko, hindi ko lang matanggap na hindi dumating si Professor Cordova. I waited for her until the last second before the meeting started but she didn't come, maybe she's really up with something more important personally. I'm just a little upset but I do understand and respect her busy day.

I gazed at her messenger icon, which she had updated privately with her stunning picture taken in a hotel. Tinitigan ko ito ng matagal, kalahating katawan ang kuha sa litrato pero nasisiguro kong nakasimpleng pulang dress ito.

Oh God, she screams sophistication. Naalala ko na naman 'yung buong ayos niya noong bachelorette party ni Ma'am Kelani but here, the outfit looks like something a disney queen would wear.

"Bakit ba ang ganda mo lagi?" at bakit ayos na ayos ka?

Kung dati, sumisigaw pa ako sa kagaguhan o gulat kapag nakikita ko siya, ngayon hinahanap-hanap ko na siya. She's the only woman I know who can give justice to baggy clothes, dark lipsticks, and eyeglasses. No matter what she wears, she always stands out and ready to own it all. Her style, in my growing perspective is everything.

Balak ko sanang i-message siya pero nagbago ang isip ko. Tapos na ang Miting De Avance, wala ng point kung kukulitin ko pa siya.

"Meziah, kanina ka pa namin kinakausap. Are you listening?!"

Napakurap ako dahil sa malakas na pagtapik ni Blain sa likod ko.

"What?"

"Ano kasi, ate Meziah. Last week ka pa gustong makausap ni Cassie Sylvester," si Jerold na ang nagsalita.

"Go, may free time naman ako tomorrow," tugon ko at mabilis na itinago ang cellphone ko sa bag, kanina pa pala nila ako kinakausap, nawala ako saglit sa sarili dahil sa taong kanina pa laman ng puso't isipan ko.

"Sure ka na ba?" Blain reluctantly asked.

"Yeah? What's wrong? We're good honestly, mga kapwa students lang naman natin ang pinag-aaway kaming dalawa," I sigh, if there's someone I can't trust in her party..si Achira lang 'yon.

May sinabi pa si Blain pero naligaw ulit ang atensyon ko sa likod ng mataas na bookshelf na nasa gilid namin. I feel like someone has been watching us since we entered this place.

The familiar pair of eyes behind the unorganized books in the shelf met mine, a weird feeling shivers my skin. The unmistakable evil living in her predatory gaze, fixed stare that feels unsettling and uncomfortable.

Xiomara Morgana..whatever her real name is.

"Hey!"

As she started racing out of this building, she gave me the confirmation I was waiting for, I ran after her with all my strength as fast as I could.

Pangalan kong sinisigaw ng mga kasama ko ang huling narinig ko bago pa man ako makalabas ng Heaven CU-Land, gabi na pero alegro kong nasundan ang papalayong pigura niya. She's not using the same black veil she was wearing the first time I saw her. Instead, she's wearing a black hoodie, medical face mask, black bull cap and a pair of black gloves.
