Grey ( Moñiza Series #1 )

Chapter 4

"Rizza..." She heard Celyn silently mumbled.

"W-what do you mean?" Tanong ni Airi kay Rizza.

"Why? Aren't you the one who hit her?" Balik tanong nito habang tinuturo siya.

"Of course not!" Pagtanggi nito.

"Is it your way of saying that I am blind?" Tanong ni Rizza kay Airi na nakataas ang kilay na parang hinahamon niya ito.

"N-no." Nasisindak na sagot ng babae.

She heard Celyn silently laugh evily on her side. "Oh em, he's coming. He's coming. He's coming." Pag-uulit nito sa sinasabi. Hindi niya naiintindihan ang ibig-sabihin nito.

"What's the meaning of this Miss Acebedo?" Agad siyang napalingon sa nagsalita. It's him again! Nasa timing talaga ito lagi. May mga kasama ito na hindi n'ya kilala.

"Grey! It's not-" naputol ang sasabihin nito ng sinamaan ito ng tingin ni Rizza. "Well, I just.. well, it's-"

Grey cut her off. "Save your words Miss Acebedo. Why don't you come to the disciplinary office. Our student council's secretary, Willa, will accompany you there."

"W-what?! No!" Pagtutol nito. "You can't do this Grey! Magkakaroon ako ng bad record."

"What you did is really bad Miss Acebedo," Sabi nito sabay ayos ng sariling kuwelyo. "What you did was intentional."

"It's not necessary." She butted in. "Maybe she didn't do it on purpose."

"I saw it in my own eyes." Rizza answered her. This girl really is bitchy. But it seems natural anyway. "And hey! She would've admitted her fault and said sorry if it was not intentional."

"I know you mean well Miss Vasquez, but the school won't tolerate this kind of behavior." Grey said, full of authority. She wondered what is Grey's position in the student council since he mentioned their secretary earlier. Or is he really one of them?

In the end, Airi had no choice but to come with the secretary named Willa. She felt pity for her. Some students started leaving the area and the others continued practicing. Celyn excused herself dahil tutuloy na raw ito sa practice. Rizza nodded at Grey first before leaving. She felt awkward when Grey didn't leave and just stayed there. Grey started walking and stopped in front of her. Ang naisip niya ay baka dadaan ito kaya nagtangka siyang magbigay daan ngunit napatigil rin kaagad.

"Does it hurt?" He asked. Just like at the incident yesterday, Grey's voice is full of concern.

"I'm cool."

Napatigil sa paghinga si Jorei ng tawirin nito ang pagitan nila at sinapo ang mukha niya. She felt herself blushed.

"Are you sure? Your face is red. I think it's swollen." Grey said innocently. Totoong masakit ang mukha niya, but she is hell as sure that the reason why her face is red is it's because she's blushing! Good heavens! She doesn't know if tinutukso siya nito o talagang wala talaga itong alam.

"I'm fine."

Napabuga nalang ito ng hininga. Ah. Damn that sweet breath! Ang bango ng hininga nito. Kahit ilang beses pa ito magbuga ng hininga sa harap niya ay hindi talaga siya magrereklamo. Ikaw ba naman bugahan ng napakabangong hininga. Is that even possible? Naku-curious na siya sa brand ng toothpaste at mouthwash nito. Tsk. Pati ba naman sa hininga ay perpekto parin ito? Gwapo na, matalino pa! Mayaman na, mabango pa! Saan ka pa? Kay Grey ka na!

"I heard that you will be our representative in the singing contest." Grey said.

"Uh. Yes, I wanna give it a try." Sagot n'ya, pero ang totoo ay lumilipad parin ang isipan niya. Nagmumukha s'yang tanga dahil nakatitig lang siya kay Grey kahit halata naman na wala sa usapan nila ang isip niya.
