The Nerd's Scheme

Chapter 23

Khloe

I crossed my arms while watching Logan beating the hell out of that poor guy. I saw blood on the corner of his mouth. Masyadong malakas ang pagkakasuntok ni Logan na nagawa nitong sugatan ang lalake.

"Stop! Please stop!" Sigaw nung babae. I can't helped but snickered. Why? Are you afraid that he will be disqualified once he was caught? Why don't you join him? Para sabay kayong mawala sa contest.

"Someone please! Stop him!"

No one even dared. Takot siguro na sila ang isunod ni Logan kapag nangialam sila. The girl looks at me. Her eyes were pleading. "Stop him please. " She begged.

Lumapit sa akin ang stylist ko at bumulong. "Pigilan mo na. Baka ma-disqualify ka rin dahil wala kang partner at okay lang ba sayo na magasgasan ang gwapong mukha ng boyfriend mo?"

I rolled my eyes. "He's not my boyfriend. " What made her think that Logan is my boyfriend?

"Ay sayang. You look good together. " Panghihinayang nya. Tss. Umiling na lang ako at humakbang palapit kay Logan.

"That's enough Logan." I made sure that he would hear me. Naiwan sa ere ang kamao nya at ang isang kamay nya ay nakahawak sa kwelyo nito.

"Parehas tayong madidisqualify kapag hindi mo tinigilan yan. "

"That's good then. I hate this fucking contest. "

"Why don't you ask me if it's okay with me? " I fired back.

Nagtagis ang panga nya at marahas na binitiwan ang lalake. Kasabay nun ay ang pagpasok ng ilang estudyante na nag organize nitong contest.

"Anong nangyari rito? " The President of the org asked. Inalalayan na ang lalake na makatayo.

"I beat him. " Logan shrugged. "I'm still not contented."  He added.

"Pwede kang ma-disqualify sa ginawa mo Zamora!"

"Go on. Walang pumipigil sayo. " Hamon ni Logan.

"Walang kasalanan si Logan. That guy tried to hurt Khloe. H-he just protected her. " Someone said. Tinignan ko ito. Siya yung candidate na nakakausap ko minsan.

"S-she's right. Don't disqualify Logan. " Dagdag nung may crush kay Logan. May mga munting luha nito sa mata. Tss. Ang OA naman nya.

"Is that true Ms. De Vera? " Nakatuon na ang tingin nila sa akin. Tumango ako. "Yes. Logan just protected me. " Saad ko. "You can ask that guy about happened but I highly doubt that he would tell the truth. " I pointed the guy who's glaring at me.

"Nakulangan ka ba sa suntok? Ayusin mo yang tingin mo. " Maangas na sabi ni Logan. Nag iwas naman ng tingin ang lalake.

They disqualified him. Nalaman ko na hindi naman madidisqualify yung partner nya dahil nawala sya sa contest. Napatingin ako sa stylist ko. "Nanghinayang kasi ako. Ang lakas kaya ng laban ni Logan. " Saad nya. Tss. Traitor.

Naglakad ang babaeng may crush kay Logan palapit dito.

"Ayos ka lang ba Logan? Nasaktan ka---"

"Are you alright Khloe? "

Natahimik yung babae at napaatras. The pain is visible in her eyes.

"Yeah. Fix yourself. Tatawagin na tayo. " Tinalikuran ko si Logan at inayos ang sarili kong suot na bahagyang nagusot.

Final walk then announcement of the winner na ang sunod. I saw from my peripheral vision that my stylist helped him. Ilang saglit lang ay naramdaman ko si Logan sa gilid ko.
