Their Entangled Lives (On-going)

21. Who are you?

It's the first day of USCAA and all I can say is that the day went faster, wow. Parang kahapon lang noong nagstart ang school year, madami na ring nangyari. It's been weeks since Gab and I became a couple. Time flies 'ika nga. We even got branded as the campus couple.

The past few weeks of our relationship was a blast. Although he's been busy at the trainings, he always find time for me. There's not a day that we're not happy with each other's presence.

Oh well, we still have a long way to go. So we'll just take things slowly.

I stopped myself from wandering and just focused on driving, I don't wanna risks my life just by stupidity.

I'm on my way right now to our campus, where the said competition will be held. I didn't bother Gab to fetch me since he have a game later. Malamang ay busy ito ngayon kaya kahit gusto niyang sunduin ako ay hindi na ako pumayag pa.

After half an hour, I'm already at the campus. It wasn't easy to look for a parking space since there are lot of students here coming from different schools.

Good thing, I found space at the end of the parking lot. Medyo creepy lang dito kasi walang tao at malayo pa sa guard house pero puwede na. Ang mahalaga nakapag-park ako.

As I stormed out of the car, I saw some guys near my car. They were looking at me in such a creepy way. They are from a public school, judging from their sports wear, which states their school name.

I'm not being judgemental but the way they stare really bothers me. I looked around, hoping there are some people out here that can help me if ever they did something wrong but there were none. It's only the six of us.

Nagmadali ako sa paglakad at nagkunwari na lang na walang nakikita. I tried to calm myself, maybe they weren't bad at all. Maybe, that's just how they stare, right? I keep thinking positive thoughts just so I can calm myself.

"Hi, miss!"

"Miss beautiful!"

"Sexy!"

"Witwew!"

"Miss, tayo tayo lang naman dito. Baka naman puwedeng pa-isa!"

I knew it, they weren't good at all! I ignored their catcalls and just keep walking and walking. I can sensed them in my back, they are following me. Shit! I'm still far from the open field, where the soccer game will be held. What to do?

Oh, God. Please help me.

Mas lalo ko pang binilisan ang lakad ko pero gano'n din ang ginawa nila. My body stiffened when someone grabbed my arms. It sent shivers to my body.

Hindi ko magawang lingunin ito at sa halip ay pinilit kong tanggalin ang hawak niya sa braso ko pero malakas siya. Kung gano'n na siya kalakas pa'no pa pag nakialam na ang iba niyang kasama?

"Hey, relax. It's me."

Para akong nabunotan ng tinik nang marinig ang familiar na boses na iyon.

I'm so relieved to see Ivan. May mga kasama rin itong kaibigan na sa tantiya ko ay pito.

He held my chin up, "Are they bothering you?" Patungkol nito sa mga lalaki sa likuran ko.

"Chill, pare! Wala kaming ginagawa!" saad ng isa sa mga ito at itinaas pa nila ang mga kamay na tanda ng pagsuko.

Ivan ignored them instead, he signalled his friends something. And before I could even react, his friends dragged those creepy guys somewhere. I could see fear from their eyes as they slowly disappear from my sight.
