The Delinquent and The Silent

Chapter 16

Luke's POV

Kunwaring nagsesearch kami ng sagot sa activity na binigay ng dyablo naming teacher. Ladies and gents, her name is Miss Pamela. Matagal na siya school na 'to at pare-parehas din ang mga activity na binibigay niya mula pa sa mga nauna sa'min. 

"Mag-pass na tayo?" asked Gabby.

Kahit kelan, wala talaga siyang acting skills. Hindi man lang magkunwaring naghahanap siya ng sagot sa Google or something! I whacked his head.

"Gago ka ba? Kabibigay lang niya ng activity!"

He rolled his eyeballs. 

You see people, nagawa na namin ang activity na 'to hours ago. May mga kopya kami ng mga activities, quizzes and even exams na ibibigay pa lang ni Miss Pamela so siyempre nasagot na namin 'to bago pa niya ibigay. That's how important hacking skill is. Hindi na namin kailangang magpakahirap. Of course this is all thanks to Don. He kinda gets into Miss Pamela's laptop and you may imagine the rest.

Danny smirked. "Bitch"

"Che!" backfired Gabby.

I ignored them. Century is ahead of us, as you all know, kaya hindi namin siya classmate ngayon. She's got a class with those graduating students. Nakaka-inggit. Bwisit.

Malas kami dahil wala sa katauhan ng Pamela na 'to ang palampasin ang day 1 ng classes. 

'May teacher kayo?'  I texted Century.

'Wala. Free day for me, monkey'

I crumpled my face. Edi wow!

Century's POV

Bumaba na ako ng taxi after ko magbayad. I need to see Big Shaq. I miss him and I need him to know na buhay pa ako. Nauubos na din ang ipon ako and I need to make money. Luke's mom offered me a job pero street races are my thing and mahirap iwan yun.

I reached the garage where Big Shaq is working most of the time. And dito rin naka-park ang sasakyan ko. It's a muscle car and last time I checked, it's wrecked. Hindi ko alam kung ano ng itsura nun. I entered the garage looking for Big Shaq pero wala siya. He normally works alone except on weekends. So maybe now, nasa bahay siya sa likod the garage and doing God knows what.

I roamed around looking for my car, may limang sasakyan doon including yung dalawang natatakpan ng car cover. Obviously, isa sa natatakpan ang sasakyan ko because... I just know. These three cars without cover need repair badly and I whimpered hoping na hindi dumaan sa ganun ang sasakyan ko. I shrugged and pulled the cover on my right.

I held my breath. It's a sleek gray BMW i8. It's really good but not really my taste. I moved on to left and pulled the cover. I grinned, it's my car. My grin widened when I noticed its original paint is changed to black matte. It was red last time but I love the matte color now. I grabbed my car keys right under the hood and started it. It's alive!

I drove it out of the garage, thanking Big Shaq has a wide driveway. I stepped on the gas many times and I really miss the sound of it. I stopped when I saw Big Shaq running out of his house, I laughed. He's good 6'8 in height and it's funny when he runs. I honked.

"Cent?!"

I placed the gear in neutral, pulled the handbrake and got out of the car to hug Big Shaq. 

"What the heck?! I missed you, mute!"

I nod my head and signaled that I miss him too. I point at my car then give him a thumbs up. I mouthed 'thank you'.

"You punk! Bakit ngayon ka lang pumunta dito? I heard you're out of that nasty house, aye?" He's talking about my dad's house.

I nod and pulled him towards the garage. I got to tell him, more like write, everything that happened.

Luke's POV

Tagumpay ang mga pinaggagagawa namin and we get to leave the class early. May isa pa kaming subject and wala kaming planong pumasok. Gabby wants to see his ruined car, I forgot how'd that happen tho.

"We're leaving!" Danny shouted and raced me to my car. 

"Bakit sasakyan ko ang gagamitin natin?" I hate them inside my car kasi ang gugulo nila at pati pagda-drive ko pinapakialaman nila. "Out"

"Whoa! You agreed we'll use your car, Luke baby" Danny pouted. Ew.

"When?" I crossed my arms.

"Two weeks ago?" Gabby halfheartedly answered. He then checked his nails. Ha, loser. He always do that when he lies.

"Bugok! Una, kahapon lang nasira 'yong sasakyan mo kaya anong kinalaman ng two weeks ago dun? Pangalawa, hindi ko man gets 'yong sinabi ko wala na kayong paki alam at bumaba kayo sa sasakyan ko!" I turned around facing Danny's car.

We stopped at some wide garage for auto shop. Funny 'cause the name of it is "GARAGE" pa. I mean, hindi man lang pinag-isipan. I shrugged. Danny parked his car and Gabby started running inside. 

And now I remember, some random chick used Gabby's car kahapon and naibangga ng bebot. Serve Gabby right. Womanizer.

I looked inside and spotted his car. I grimaced. Halos kamukha na ni Gabby 'yong sasakyan niya, ang pangit. Ngumangawa na din siya habang nakaluhod sa harap ng sasakyan niya. I laughed. I stopped tho when I noticed a tall guy laughing at him too and beside him is... wadapak!

"Century??!" we all yelled.

The tall guy stopped laughing.
