Comrades in Action: Chase Vonn Book 6

Chapter two

"Boo!"

Napapitlag siya sa gulat. Pagpihit niya, ang nakangising mukha ni Brooke ang bumungad sa kanya.

"Brooke!!!"

"Gotya!"

"Stop doing that!

Isang halakhak lang ang pinakawalan nito. "Serves you right! I've been looking for you for an hour. What are you doing here anyway?" Sinimulan nitong igala ang paningin sa paligid. "This music room looks so damn old.. Some even say it's ghost infested. I'm having goosebumps just by being here. See?" Anito habang inilalahad ang braso sa kanya.

Iniikot niya ang mga mata dito. "Kahit kailan talaga ay napaka-arte mo..." Hindi niya napigilang ikomento.

"English please."

"You know what I mean."

"Yeah, I do know what you mean, thanks for being my friend for the last three years I am finally able to understand your native language." Sarkastiko nitong turan.

"Thank god you can't speak it."

She scoffed. "You know I can speak a bit of tagalog, Caye!"

"Yeah right.."

"Anyway, the school should really renovate this room. It's so creepy.."

"Brooke Jameson..." She said her name in a warning tone. Luma na kung luma but she like this music room the way it is and she won't stand anyone talking trash about it.

Tumigil ito ng makita ang babala sa mga mata niya. "Fine.." She pouted.

She sighed. Minsan talaga ay nagtataka siya kung bakit niya ito naging kaibigan. They are complete opposites for pete's sake. Tahimik siya habang ito naman ay sobrang ingay. She's somewhat cynic while Brooke is the friendly type. Iyong tipo na madaling magtiwala. And because of that, she couldn't count how many times Brooke have cried on her shoulders. Mainly because of people who betrayed her at the end-- mostly men. Paano ay napakadali nitong ma-in love. A hopeless romantic na talaga namang hindi mo makikita sa personalidad niya. Not even close.

She never trusted men that easily all because the first  man she loved and trusted destroyed her belief that there is truly a man you can trust your heart with.

Lies.

There is no such thing as good guys anymore. Well except for her kuya Cayden ay wala na.

"Have you eaten?"

Bumalik siya sa wisyo ng marinig ulit si Brooke magsalita. "Nope." Sinimulan niyang ayusin ang violin.

Brooke leaned down on her. "I bet you've been practicing for god knows how many hours again. If I hadn't found you, I'm sure you'd be here until after lunchtime."

"I don't mind missing lunch.." She murmured habang ang mga mata'y tutok sa pagaayos ng kanyang violin sa case nito.

"Well I do mind. Besides, I'm hungry."

"Then eat."

"But I want you to eat with me, Caye.." Padyak nito.

She sighed. Isinukbit ang violin case sa balikat bago ito hinarap. "You're such a baby, you know that, do you?"

"Yey!!" Sigaw nito dahil alam nitong napapayag na naman siya nito. What a brat...

Kung sabagay, hindi naman na nakapagtataka. Brooke came from a very wealthy family. Like from a long line of politicians. Mula sa lolo nitong dating Governor hanggang sa daddy nitong kakapanalo lang ngayon bilang isang Senador. Idagdag pa ang kuya nitong bagong upo ding Governor dito sa New York.
