"Maire!!," Sigaw ni Nickolo nang makita ako.
"Hmm?," Ani ko sa kan'ya.
"Ay, may regla ka ba?. Bakit parang ang tamlay mo?." Gago amp. Regla agad? Lalaki ako timang 'to oh!. I looked at him with a hint of disbelief.
"Are you crazy?, lalaki ako pa'no ako magkaka-roon ng regla?. And don't call me at my second name Bastard!" I rolled my eyes at him.
He was about to speak when Jack Interrupt.
"Hello!, tara na Lucas. 'Di pa tayo tapos sa Research paper ng Group eh." I nod at Lourdes— i mean Jack and looked at Nickolo.
"I'll get going now Nicks'. We need to finish our Research paper pa kasi eh." He nod with a blank face.
"Okay, Bye." I nod at him.
"Nakakatakot 'yong tingin ng lalaking 'yon ah!. Parang kakainin ka na." Binatukan ko si Jack sa sinabi niya.
"Idiot its my friend don't be Judgemental." I tsked at him and rolled my eyes.
"Ito naman nagsasabi lang ng totoo 'yong tao eh. Pero sige... Baka makita ka ni Python." He looked at me and pats my head. "Magingat ka roon sa kaibigan ko... Sa Stepbrother mo. May sayad sa utak 'yon eh."
Napaisip naman ako sa sinabi niya. "Right, may sayad naman talaga 'yon sa utak eh."
Pagkarating namin sa room namin sa Biology ay tumabi agad kami sa ka-grupo namin at sinimulan na ang pag-plano para sa Research na gagawin.
I saw one of our Groupmates stole a glance at me and Jack. I look at him and asked why?.
"Uhmm, lalaki po k-kayo?. Para po kasing hindi eh." Ngumiti lang ako sa kan'ya at sinabing.
"Oo, lalaki kami. Any problem with it." He looks embarrassed but he just laughed it off.
"So, what about the revisor. Who'll do it?." The leader asked.
"Ako na lang total hindi naman ako Busy eh." The leader hand over the Notes. I scan the papers that he gave me.
"Jack, tulungan mo ko." He look at me.
"Luh, may lakad kami ni..." Hindi niya na natapos ang sasabihin niya nang sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Okay," He pout.
After the school hours me and Jack finish some task and will continue it tomorrow.
Natapos ang araw na 'to na masakit ang katawan ko dahil sa dami ng gawain.
Namalayan ko na lang na nakatulog na pala ako at Hindi na nakakain.
"Maire!, Baby!. Get down. You're going to be late at your school!." My mother woke me up from my reverie
"Coming!,"
"Maire!, is there something that you've been hiding?," My mother asked when i sat at the chair.
"Nothing," I glance at Python whose eating peacefully. Jerk!. He eyed me when he felt my stares.
"What?," I rolled my eyes at him and continue eating.
Nang matapos ako ay hinugasan ko na ang mga pinagkainan at dumiretso sa k'warto upang maligo't magbihis.
I was Busy rubbing my back when I heard mom. "Maire!, Bilisan mo na at baka abutan pa tayo ng Traffic."
Bumaba na ako at dumiretso sa Sasakyan ni Python.
"Mag-iingat kayo," My mother reminded me.
"Buckle your Seatbelt honey, I'm the Driver." Napabuntong-hininga ako sa sinabi niya't sinuot na lamang ang seatbelt.
Nakarating kami ng School nang mapayapa. 'Buti na lamang at wala siyang ginawang masama sa 'kin.
"Maire," Nickolo shouted when he saw me with Python. Nandilim Naman ang mata niya nang makita kung sino ang kasama ko.
Python hold my hand and say something to me. I nod at him and walk to my Class without glancing to Nickolo.
I roam my eyes hoping to see Jack. He's seating at the Back and talking with our Groupmates. Maybe they're planning to Finish it up now.
"Hey!," I seat beside Jack and glance at his Feminine face.
"Yeah?," I asked with my bored tone.
"We're going to finish this up at the Starbucks nearby. Wanna come?." I nod at him and Jot down some information that'll help us on our research paper.
A minute later our Professor in biology came. "Okay, class Ms. Araneta is not coming today because he's Ill, so I'm going to be your subtitute teacher for today."
I look at the Person who sounds familiar. Wait... is this Denver?. The one who's Jack's BestFriend?.
I glance at Jack and to our Professor. They share a look. The Professor smirk at him but Jack has this confusion on his face.
The Professor started to explain something and started to give Jack a bunch of questions. Jack Looks pissed because of it. Oh, Oh, something's not going to end well.
The Bell rang and that's my cue to leave because the subtitute teacher Denver and Jack is meddling with something.
"Jack!," I saw Nickolo coming to my way, and to avoid being caught up with Python I took a shortcut to my next class.
Habang naglalakad ako nang mabilis hinawakan ni Nickolo ang Kamay ko at ngumiti. There's this some emotion on his eyes that i can't recognize.
"Yeah, why?. Speak i'll give you minutiae because i have loads of things to do."
"Why're you avoiding me?, and Why are you with Python?." I look at him and sigh.
"First, He said that i should avoid you 'cause you're dangerous. Second He's my Stepbrother." He looked at me with a confused look.
"Come on, He's just your Stepbrother, and I'm not that dangerous. We're friends right?." I heave a sigh and Nod.
"You shouldn't come near me anymore, I don't want Python get mad at me." He looks furiously mad for what I said.
"You know... I like you. Let me court you. It doesn't matter if you're guy. I like you, please." I was a little bit shock because of what he said, but i'll not buy that thing.
"You know you're just Infatuated. You're just attracted to me and I'm not gay. Come on." I was about to step out when he holds my wrist really tight.
Pinaharap niya 'ko sa kan'ya 'saka sinunggaban ng halik sa una'y napaka-agresibo ng halik niya hanggang sa naging masuyo ito. Kinagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi ko nang napakadiin hanggang sa nalasahan ko na ang dugo sa labi ko.
I was about to pushed him when a strong punch landed on his face. "Why, you!." I look at Python who punch Nickolo on his face. Pumutok ang labi ni Nickolo at hindi naman nag-paawat si Python at Sinapak ito nang sinapak hanggang sa lupaypay na si Nickolo sa lupa.
Dumating ang guwardiya at inawat sila. Nakita ko ang mga studyanting naki-chi-chismis at nakatingin sa duguang si Nickolo.
Lalapitan ko pa sana ang duguang si Nickolo nang hatakin ako ni Python at isinakay sa Kotse niya. "Why?!, Why did you let him kiss you huh?!."
"H-Hindi ko naman siya hinalikan!, Bigla na lang kasi niya 'kong hinalikan eh!." Pinilit kong tatagan ang boses ko para malaman niyang ayos lang ako.
"That F-cker!." Bumaba siya ng sasakyan at tila May pupuntahan kung saan.
"W-Where are you going?." He look at me and smack a kiss.
"Magpapalipas lang ako ng init ng ulo baka May magawa pa 'kong 'di mo magustuhan." Tumango na lamang ako at humilig sa kotse niya.
'Di ko naman inaasahan na gagawin 'yon ni Nickolo eh. nabigla lang din ako. Tears started to stream down my cheeks as I hold my sobs.
It all started when I Knew Python and my mother found someone. I don't like this. I feel like I'm drowning in some deep Hole where I could only see is me, and my father whose now dead. Please help me...
I feel someone touching my cheeks to wake me up from a deep slumber and offer me water.
"Here, it looks like you need it." Python gave me the Bottled water.
"Thanks," I smile at him and took a deep breath before i drink the water.
"Let's go, uuwi na tayo." I nod at him as he start the engine.
I hope tomorrow will be okay...
