That Nerd has a Secret (PUBLISHED UNDER PSICOM)

Chapter 16: Meeting with the Alpha

Two weeks had passed since may nangyaring kaguluhan sa school. Back to normal na ulit but something changed sa relationship naming tatlo nina Eloiny and Cein.

I kept my distance away from them. Kung noon minsan ko lang sila kinakausap, ngayon hindi na talaga. It's not that I'm mad at them or what. I don't want to get in touch with people na alam kong iiwan din ako sa huli. Lumalapit sila sa'kin pero ako na ang kusang umiiwas. I know they will hate me in the end so why bother making friends? Pag nalaman nila kung sino ako, maybe sila pa ang unang gustong pumatay sa 'kin.

"Ms. Valdemore, what are you doing?" napatingin ako kay Paxton nang sinita niya ako. He's the one in-charge sa klase ni Sir Carlson at ang pinagagawa sa 'min ay physical training. He's on his 'bossy' attitude again.

"Taking a break," sagot ko. I'm doing sit ups pero umupo muna ako saglit para magpahinga. Sanay na rin naman ang katawan ko dito because dad trained me martial arts since I was five. Matindi pa nga ang training ko sa amin kesa dito.

"At sinong may sabi na pwede kang magpahinga?"

"Myself."

"I didn't order you to rest," He glared at me.

"What if I die here? You ready to suffer the consequences?" Tiningnan ko rin siya ng masama.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Then stop asking questions that are obvious."

He smirked. Ayaw nya talagang magpatalo. "Who would care if a nerd like you die anyway?"

Napatingin ako sa kanya. I'm really getting excited when it comes to debate. "Exactly. So who would care if a nerd took a break from this nonsense activity?" tinaasan ko siya gamit ang makapal kong kilay na ikinalabas naman ng isang dosenang wrinkles ko.

He let out a deep sigh. Halatang napipikon nya siya. "Fine. Bilisan mo na dyan kung ayaw mong maparusahan," he said then walked out.

Tsk. He will never win an argument against me.

"Ren, I'm taking a break too. Hindi mo ba ako pagagalitan?" malanding sabi ng isa sa mga kaklase ko.

"Ako rin fafa Ren. I'm so tired na rin and thirsty. Could you please come here and hug me to make me feel better?" dagdag pa ng isang bakla.

Napailing na lang ako.

"Me too. Ouch! My feet hurts. Could you please come here, Ren?"

Sunod-sunod ang pagpapansin sa kanya ng mga babae at bakla and I'm laughing in my mind right now. Serves you right, jerk.

"Bakit? Si Shea ba kayo?" bigla niyang sabi sa harap ng mga kaklase ko. Natahimik naman silang lahat.

Napatingin ako sa kanya. Ano namang konek ko sa mga pinangagawa nila? I look around and as expected, parang gusto na nila akong patayin anytime.

What did I do?

"Ahem. I mean Sir Carlson instructed me to stay focused on Shea during training because she was always last in class, remember?" he explained.

Mukhang sumang ayon naman sila. I rolled my eyes. Whatever.

Natapos ang physical training at papunta ako ngayon sa cafeteria upang mag lunch. It's better to isolate myself from them and the rest of the students.

Nakarating na ako sa cafeteria and ordered some food. Buti na lang, konti pa lang ang tao kaya malaya akong makakapili ng uupuan ko. I sat at the very corner in the cafeteria. I put my earphones on, ignoring the world as I started eating.

"T-take care always, Aly. Don't blame yourself for this."

"N-no Bliss! Don't talk like that. I'm bringing you to the hospital, okay? Everything will be fine."
