Breaking The Chains (COMPLETED)

Chain 40 - Warm welcome

Chain 40

Warm welcome

I sighed as I went out of the taxi.

I still manage to go to school after what I just saw. I took a picture of the tattoo using the phone given by Mr. Megarry before leaving the lifeless body. I removed the black cloth covering the face of the killed person but he's not familiar. Maybe some underdogs of that damn Evil Cat! Whoever he or she is!

Pumasok ako ng klase sa buong araw na ito. Hindi ko nalang namalayan na uwian na pala dahil sa sobrang pag-iisip ng nangyari. Marami na namang tanong ang nabuo sa aking isipan. Bukod sa pakay sa akin ng Evil Cat na 'yon, gusto kong malaman kung sino ang posibleng pumatay sa tauhan niya. Bakit iyon pinatay? Ang lalaking 'yon ba ang sumusunod sa akin lagi? Sino pa ang mga nagmamasid sa akin? Oh, hell! Hope that I could find out these! I'll seek for answers! That's for sure.

I was slowly walking towards the gate of the school but I was shocked when Zarvick appeared in front of me. He's smirking and brow shot up. My brows furrowed to stop myself from smiling. Damn it. Ang hirap din palang magpigil ng ngiti! And it's because of his presence! Masaya na 'ko roon? What the hell. Hindi ko na yata nagugustuhan ang reaksyon ng sarili ko tuwing nakikita siya.

"Let's go? I'll give you a ride,"

He confidently walked towards me and immediately held my elbow. Bahagya pa akong nagulat sa biglaang ginawa niya kaya tumaas muli ang isang kilay niya. Nagtataka sa reaksyon ko. Darn! What's with me? Simula yata nang malaman ko ang nararamdaman niya para sa akin ay naging ganito na ako! I hate it. Big time.

"No. I can handle myself," iling ko.

"I can handle you too," ngumuso siya. "And I missed you already,"

What the fuck?

I gasped at parang nakawala na naman ang kabayo na nakakulong sa aking dibdib. Nanatili akong seryoso upang itago ang tindi ng nararamdaman ko sa aking kaloob-looban. There's no way in hell he would know his effects on me!

"We had lunch together," simple kong sinabi.

"So, baby? That's hours ago," katwiran niya.

Laging ganoon ang nangyayari tuwing lunch break. Kahit pilit ko siyang iniiwasan dito sa loob ng school ay nagagawa niya pa rin akong hanapin. Lagi siyang sumasabay mag-lunch kaya napipilitan akong pumunta sa garden na madalas kong tambayan upang hindi makakuha ng atensyon. Though we have it now. For God's sake, he's an Izra! Alam kong binibigyan na kami ng mga estudyante ng malisya dahil araw-araw kaming magkasama. And thanks to Kendall because she's always around, coz' they would all think that I and Zarvick are now officially together. Though, he said to me that we really are.

Bahala siya.

Naglakad na ako kaya sinabayan niya agad ako kaya nakuha na naman namin ang atensyon ng lahat. And Kendall's not here!

"Anyway, I have watched you all day,"

Nanlaki ang mga mata 'kong hinarap siya. "What?"

He nodded seriously. "And I observed you're not with yourself today. You're spacing out even when we're having our lunch," he concluded like he really knew it.

Kinunotan ko lang siya ng noo para pagtakpan agad ang pagkagulat ko. He fucking noticed!

"What's on your mind, Cliandria?" He looked at me firmly.

"My mind is a dark place. You don't want to be there,"

I smirked at him before continued walking. Hindi niya pwedeng malaman ang lahat ng gumugulo sa isip ko. I don't want him to get involved. Even anyone. Ako ang bahala dahil problema ko 'to.
