Perfectly Imperfect (The Perfect Girl Sequel)

Chapter Eighteen

KAZUMI

I tried to calm down and collect my thoughts.

What they used against me wasn't for hallucinating things, it just meant to knock me off so I am sure it's real. Pero ang pinagtataka ko ay, lahat talaga sila sabay nagising? And what's peculiar is that wala man lang ako napansing taong naglalakad sa hallway gayong madali lang naman akong makahalata o makarinig ng mga bagay. In short, I am very keen of my surroundings.

I have the feeling that they are in our basement. Why? Because we usually gather there to do some mafia things.

I'm still not in charge for our mafia, but I have been training so soon enough, I can have the mafia.

I was walking slowly para hindi ako mag-ingay. Trying to hear them but with no luck, wala akong naririnig na ingay.

It was dark in the basement at konting ilaw lang ang naroon, kaya 'yon gano'n because we don't want the maids to discover what we have in the basement, so in order to keep them out of here, we have to pretend that it's kind of haunted.

When I reached for the door knob, as I was about to open the door, surprisingly it opened on its own, not that our house is haunted, pero iniluwa no'n si Gia na mukhang naiihi na?

"Oh, hi Kazumi!" She's sweating like a pig and I bet I was right, naiihi na nga siya.

"Hey, G–" di ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko nang binangga niya ako para maka daan at napatakbo pataas.

"Sorry Kazumi!" Rinig ko pang sigaw nito habang papalayo. Napailing naman ako, she's adorable.

Nang mawala na sa tingin ko si Gia, I decided to go inside the room.

"Hey!" Cleo said when she saw me, so I smiled at her. She was doing something with our tablet, like she was browsing something.

Napatingin naman ako sa dulo ng room kung nasaan ang mga computer, at nandoon ang dalawang kambal at si Jaz, habang si Angel naman andoon sa left side ko kung nasaan ang mga table na maraming mga weapon. She was holding a dagger at pinapaikot ang hawakan sa daliri niya.

And sa right side ko, andoon ang sofa kung nasaan si Cleo.

"I've hacked something!" sigaw ni Cleo kaya napabaling ang tingin namin sa kanya. Agad siyang tumayo at pumunta sa lugar nina Anne at sumunod naman kami ni Angel.

Nang tinignan namin kung ano 'yon, agad kong binatukan si Cleo.

"Ouch!" Aniya habang hinihimas ang batok niya. "What was that for?!" She glared at me.

"Stupid! Mali ata na-hack mo, she looks like some nerd or something!" Napailing ako. "Para saan ba yan?" Takang tanong ko.

"I was trying to hack into Heaven's system, you know the one who's after you, pero I guess I'm not good with hacking." Kibit balikat niya.

"You're really no good. Tignan mo, she's dressing up like a nerd, not a gangster!"

"Yeah, I can see that, though it's not very clear." Cleo rolled her eye.

"Looks can be de–"

"I'm back!" Napalingon kaming lahat kay Gia na kakapasok lang at agad itong lumapit sa amin dahilan para mapahinto si Angel sa pagsasalita.

"Sorry Kaz! Ihing-ihi na ako kanina so I wasn't able to greet you properly!" baling niya sa akin and then pouted.

"Oh it's fine."

She looked past through me where the girls are looking at something.

"Anong ginagawa niyo?" She asked.
