The Vampire King's Favorite

Chapter 5

'Alright. But I won't just sit back here.'

I remember him saying those exact words to me yesterday.

Tinatanong niya kasi ako kung anong nangyari, but I chose to keep quiet. I just feel like it'd not end up good if I tell him what happened. And gladly, mabilis naman siyang kausap.

He didn't asked again, but he said those words to me. And i don't know what he meant by that.

Napailing nalang ako bago tuluyang lumabas ng kwarto. I went straight to the dining hall amd saw foods on the table. Nangunot naman ang noo ko nang makitang nakaupo doon ang asungot.

But what confused me is his look. He's grinning from ear to ear and he's also on his long-sleeved white polo with necktie and slacks. Taas kilay na naupo ako sa upuan sa kanan niya.

"Good morning."

Good mood ang bampira...

"Morning. What's with the look?" Tanong ko habang nilalagyan ng maid ng pancake ang plato ko.

I asked her to put honey in mine na agad naman niyang sinunod.

"Oh, I'm gonna work today." Plain na sagot niya bago sumimsim sa kape niya.

I just shrugged my shoulders and started eating. Pero panay ang naging sulyap ko sakanya.

He looked younger. With his hair brushed up, he looks 25. Well, I don't know his real age, but something's telling me that he's much more older than what I think.

Tch. Vampires.

After eating, mabilis akong tumayo. Sinundan naman niya ng tingin ang pagtayo ko. He wiped his mouth before speaking.

"By the way, Fred will drive you to school today." Sabi niya na sinagot ko lang ng tango.

I bid him a goodbye bago mabilis na lumabas. Fred was already waiting outside. Mabilis na pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto at agad na sumakay sa driver's seat.

I just watched the house as we drift away. Something's strange with him today.

After minutes of driving, nakarating din kami sa university. Mabilis na bumaba ako at nagpasalamat kay Fred bago tinahak ang daan papasok. To my surprise, Samantha welcomed me soon as I stepped my foot inside. With her smirk, kumapit siya sa braso ko at hinila na ako.

"Ang tagal mo. Did you know that I waited for you for... 1 minute? Gosh, sumakit ang binti ko sa kakatayo."

Napailing nalang ako sa sinabi niya. She's kinda maarte pero hindi naman umabot sa puntong gusto ko na siyang sakalin. She's cute when she's being one.

"How bout Lucy? Dumating na ba siya?" Tanong ko na agad ikinasama ng timpla niya.

"Don't care about that bitch." Nakanguso niyang sagot na pabiro ko nalang na ikinapalo sakanya.

I don't know what's her broblem with Lucy... But I find Lucy a good one. I think she's just a shy person kaya most people don't understand her or don't even dare to get to know her.

"Don't call her that." Suway ko sakanya na ikinairap niya lang saakin.

Sabay kaming nakapasok sa HRM building. At habang nasa elevator, hindi ko naiwasang marinig ang mga chismisan ng kasabay namin. They were on the same class as mine. Hindi nga lang pamilyar ang mga mukha.

'Have you heard the news? There's a new professor for foreign language.'
'Yup. I heard the old one retired already. Rumors also ay that he was forced to retire.'
'Huh? Why?'
