Chapter 3- My Ride or Die

Chapter 3

I was driving to school in my cool Bentley Flying Spur. It's not as pricey as my dream car, but, my mom hooked me up 'cause my original plan fell through. Good thing she sorted out her problems sa business nito.

This ride is way cooler than having some driver pick me up, right? Gotta admit, I'm not a pro at driving yet 'cause I haven't had much practice since I accidentally wrecked my dad's sports car.

But when my dad found out my mom gave me this car, he was not excited. He doesn't trust my driving skills, and still treats me like a freakin' 12-year-old. Jeez, I'm 22! It's frustrating how overprotective he is, like I'm some little kid.

Kaya ko na ang sarili ko; I wanna be independent. 

Finally!  Nakarating din ako sa campus at nag park ako sa parking lot doon.  Dali dali akong bumaba pagkatapos makuha ang aking bag. 

Malaki ang parking lot ng Hanson Liu University, pero agad kong napansin ang big bike ni Blair na paparating, halos magkasabay lang pala kami.  Kumaway ako dito, at nang makita ako nito ay nag park ito sa tapat ko kung saan naka park ang mga big bikes na nandoon.  Dali dali rin itong lumapit sa akin at nagbeso.

"Bruh! Check out my girl rollin' up in that sick Bentley! That ride is straight fire! You're on another level, bitch!" Bati naman nito na tuwang tuwa ng makita ang gamit kong sasakyan. 

"How about we take these wheels for a spin together?  Sounds good?" Pag-aaya ko dito.  Pwede naman kaming mag ditch class muna, like wala naman gagawin sa first period namin, usually kasi more on lecture lang doon.  Hindi pa nagchechek ng attendance. 

"You serious?" nanlalaki ang mata nito, as if naman first time namin mag diditch class. Mataas naman grades ko dun at okay lang talagang mag absent.  Sa Research Psychology II lang naman ako kinakabahan.  Hindi ako pwedeng mag absent dun dahil nagdedelikado na grades ko dun.

"Yeah, we still have time for our Psy Res later. That's the only important thing in this morning session class, TBH. We deserve some excitement in our lives!"

Napangiti ito sa huling sinabi ko at saka tumango tango.

"Okay, You're on." She agreed at nauna ng sumakay ng passenger seat. 

Hindi na ako nag-aksaya ng panahon dahil baka magbago pa ang isip ni Blair.  Binuksan ko ang convertible at saka hinayaan lang namin na hanginin ang mga buhok namin habang nag jajam kami sa music na nasa stereo.

You were drivin' the getaway car

We were flyin', but we'd never get far

Don't pretend it's such a mystery

Think about the place where you first met me

Ridin' in a getaway car

There were sirens in the beat of your heart

Should've known I'd be the first to leave

Think about the place where you first met me

"We're unstoppable, B!" I shouted, my voice merging with the rhythm of the song. "Sa wakas! Whooooo!"

Blair laughed, her joy contagious. "You're damn right, K! This is the fun we've been craving!"

Sobrang binilisan ko ang pagmamaneho.  Halos makipag karera ako sa mga sasakyan na nakakasabayan namin.

I have never felt so free!  But before I know it, I was probably driving too fast I am over speeding.
