Chapter 3

Dark's POV

Nauna nang bumalik si Rage sa classroom. Gumagawa kasi sya ng love letter para kay Drea. Ang cheesy talaga ng bestfriend ko, buti may pumapatol pa don.

Naalala ko tuloy nung highschool palang kami, hiyang hiya sya sakin pero ngayon masyado na syang open sakin. He barely keeps anything from me. Halos ata pati pag-tae nya alam ko na. Tss.

Luminga linga ako sa paligid. I was busy eating my pizza not until a group of boys came into my place, sila yung mga gwapo kong ka-schoolmate na nakatingin sakin kanina.

Why so hot, babes? They smiled at me.

"Hey Dark, can we join you?" The first guy asked.

"Sure." Nakangiting pagsang ayon ko. Mm! Hot boy toys!

Nilagay nila ang trays sa harap ko at nagsimulang kumain.

"Ako nga pala si Jake."

Pagpapakilala ng lalaking singkit.

"It's nice to meet you, Jake." I replied.

Tinawanan nya ako at bahagyang umakbay sakin, I just let him be.

Sunod namang nagpakilala sa akin iyong lalaking matangkad. There are three of them.

"I'm Sean, it's nice to meet you, Dark." He introduced, smirking.

"It's also nice to meet you Sean. Did I already tell you that you’re cute?" Papuri ko sa kanya

He shook his head and smiled at me while his hands subtly rested in mine. Tumaas ang kilay ko. They came prepared. Sunod na nagpakilala iyong lalaking nakasalamin sa harapan ko, more like a sexy nerd.

"I'm Kent, maybe we should be friends." He added.

"Well, maybe we could be more than that. Let's see." I mumbled. He's my kinda guy.

Bahagya syang lumapit sakin at bineso ako sa pisngi. Ang cute!

Sabay sabay kaming kumain. Hindi naman sila boring kasama kaya okay lang, napag alaman ko din na 5 years at honor students sila dito. Teacher's pet kumbaga.

18 years old na si Sean. 19 naman si Jake at Kent.

Nang matapos kumain ay kinuha nila ang number ko. Nag Volunteer din si Sean na ihatid ako sa room since sa ibang room sila ngayon.

"Sige Sean. Dito nalang ako. Thanks for the effort." Nakangiting paalam ko sa kanya

He chuckled.

"You're always welcome Dark, I'm glad that I've met you."

I smirked. Lumapit ako sa kanya at binigyan siya ng magaang halik sa labi. Gulat man ay tumugon parin. He smiled as I let go.

Pagkatapos ay tumingkayad ako at bumulong sa tainga nya.

"Do you want me to be your fling? I would be glad to have you, baby." Nakangisi kong bulong. Sometimes it cringes me, sometimes it doesn't. But what can I do? A woman needs her toys.

Sean subtly bit his lower lip and slowly nodded his head.

"Are you seriously asking me that? Who could have resisted you? Of course, Dark. I'm a willing victim."

Natawa ako sa kanya.

"Sige na, pasok na ko. Take care." Pagpapaalam ko sa kanya bago siya humalik ulit.

As expected, pagpasok ko ay masama na agad ang tingin sakin ng mga babae kong kaklase na hindi ko din naman pinansin. Lumapit nalang ako sa kinaroroonan ni Rage na nakangisi na agad sa akin.

"You got another fling?"

"Yeah, obviously. " He laughed at my answer.

"Grabe ka talaga Dark. Wala kang patawad." Natatawang aniya nya.

"Ganyan talaga pag maganda." I jokingly replied.

Tumawa lang sya uli at nagpatuloy na sa pagsusulat. Hindi parin pala sya tapos hanggang ngayon. Napailing nalang ako.

Not long after I sat, I felt a piercing stare behind me making me look over that position. It was Drazz. Ano nanamang problema nito?

"The fuck are you looking at?" I asked, frowning.

"Boyfriend mo yang si Rage diba? How come he let you kiss Sean?"

Nagtatakang tanong niya.

My eyebrows automatically raised, pagkatapos ay natawa. Mukha ba talaga kaming magkarelasyon ni Rage? I can't even imagine him and me being in a relationship. It's all just a good play!

"Why are you laughing?" Kunot noong tanong niya.

Tumahimik nalang ako at nginisian sya.

"To feed your curiosity, he's not my boyfriend. He's my best friend and unfortunately, fling lang namin ang isa't isa. He likes another woman. We're just doing this for fun." I clarified.

Unti-unting nag-liwanag ang mukha niya.

"Ohhh kaya pala." He said, full of interest.

Hindi ko na sya pinansin at tumingin na sa harap, hindi din naman nagtagal ay dumating na din ang guro namin.

Nakakaantok!

"Sleepy?" A sudden voice blurted out.

Napalingon ako sa nagsalita sa kaliwa ko, It's Drazz. Again. I rolled my eyes, pagkatapos ay umiling at kinuha ang cellphone ng palihim.

To: Rage

Ang boring ng klase Rage, I want to cut class.

I clicked the send button and waited for his reply. Sinenyasan ko syang tumingin sa phone nya. Rage nodded.

To: Dark

Tsk. Stubborn as always. Tiis tiis lang, bhe. Malapit na naman na matapos morning class natin ngayon.

I sighed. Tumingin ako sa kanya pero kumindat lang sya sakin. I didn't have any choice since Rage won’t cut class with me kung kaya't nagpanggap nalang akong nakikinig sa teacher kahit hindi naman talaga. I already knew what she's teaching. Nagadvance study na ko dati nung nasa senior year pa ko.

I was almost dozing off. Halos pumikit na 'ko nang may maramdaman humigit sa bewang ko. Nagising ang diwa ko. Who was that? I looked at Drazz and saw him smirking. Tumaas ang kilay ko.

This guy actually thinks that he can play with me. Tsk. Wrong target, baby.

Ngumisi lang din ako sa kanya at pinatong ang kamay ko sa mga hita nya.

You'll surely regret messing with me, player. I chuckled secretly pagkatapos ay hinimas ng pataas at pababa ang hita nya.

My charms were fast absorbed. Naramdaman ko agad ang pag tensado ng katawan nya. He, later on, whispered in my ear, holding his breath.

"I want you, Dark."

A smirked automatically rose from his lips. Hindi ako sumagot. Ramdam ko ang bahagyang paghimas nya sa bewang ko, pasimple ding inaamoy ang leeg ko.

Not until the ring bells. Agad akong tumayo at hinarap sya.

"You ain't having no one, Baby." Was the last thing that I said before leaving. Nadinig ko pang kinantyawan sya ng mga kabarkada nya. Kanina pa din ata nanonood sa tabi namin. Serves him right!

Nagpaalam na din muna ako kay Rage at sinabing pupunta muna sa Girl's Dormitory. I think I have a roommate. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung sino, wala pa kasi siya nung pumunta ako dito.

Pagkabukas ko nang pinto ay agad akong napangisi. My roommate and some other guy is kissing torridly. Tumikhim ako para makuha ang atensyon nila. Both of them looked at me in sync. Agad na bumitaw ang babae at nginitian ako ng malaki.

"Hey, you're my roommate right?" She asked. Pinalabas na din nya yung lalaki kanina.

"Yeah, I guess so." I smiled.

"I was anticipating your arrival! I'm Ryliee Drail Phoenix, by the way."  I frowned as I heard her last name.

"You're Drazz's Sister?" I asked. Masaya siyang tumango sakin. I just nodded.

"How about you? What's your name?"

"Dark Phyra Serenity Blaire, Dark for short. It's nice to meet you!" I replied, despite the fact na kapatid sya ng pakelamerong si Drazz.

She pouted. "Ang haba naman ng pangalan mo, should I just call you Fire?"

Nagtataka akong tumingin sa kanya.

"Why, fire?" Mukha ba kong bumubuga ng apoy?

"Short for Phyra. What do you think?" She asked in glee.

Fire? That's not actually bad! Tumango ako sa kanya.

"Yey!"

I chuckled at her response. She seems carefree, we might get along.

"Who was that guy earlier by the way?" I changed the topic.

"Ah, He's Kiro. A fling of mine." My brows automatically raise. I see, we’re alike. 

"You're a playgirl, aren't you?" Tamang hinalang tanong ko.

"Duh, girl, duh. " She replied, smirking. My heart perked up.

"Then maybe we'll actually get along." I replied. Ryliee squinted her eyes, pagkatapos ay tumango tango din. It was understood, we're in the same community. The players community.

"Would you like to hang out with me in your free time? It'll be fun." Agad kong pag aya sakanya.

Ryliee nodded in joy. Pagkatapos ay sabay na din kaming naglakad papunta sa cafeteria.

Pagpasok na pagpasok pa lang namin sa ay sinalubong na agad ako ng mabilis na halik ni Rage. I automatically kissed him back.

Mukang masaya yata ang bestfriend ko ngayon ah. What's up?

"Guess what? Pumayag si Drea makipag date sakin!" He blurted out after kissing me. Napangiti ako dahil sa sinabi nya.

Finally. 

"Tss. Congrats, Rage. Di ka na hopeless romantic." Natatawang sagot ko. He scoffed at me, pagkatapos ay tumingin sa kasama ko.

"She's Ryliee, roommate ko." Maikling pagpapakilala ko.

Sunod kong hinarap si Ry.

"Ry, Meet Rage. My dearest best friend, and a fling as well." Pagpapakilala ko sa kanilang dalawa. Hininaan ko pa ang boses ko sa bandang dulo. Ryliee chuckled.

Ngumiti sa kanya si Rage at tinanguan lang sya ni Ry. How nice, R&R pa talaga ang kasama ko.

After that brief introduction. Naghanap na agad kami ng table na mauupuan. Mula sa malayo ay ramdam ko ang titig ni Drazz. Ano nanaman kayang problema ng gagong 'to?

Umalis muna si Rage para bumili ng dinner namin kaya natira kami ni Ry.

"Gosh, Fire! Nagulat ako nung hinalikan ka nya! Kala ko kung ano na, fling lang pala." She suddenly exclaimed.

I laughed.

"Yun nga din ang akala ng iba. They always thought that he's my boyfriend when the truth is he's not."

Nagpatuloy ako.

"May nililigawan siyang babae, that's Drea. Student sya ng Marnel Academy. Dun kami galing, hindi ko lang din nga alam kung bakit hanggang ngayon ayaw pa rin siyang sagutin ni Drea. Maybe she's still challenging him." Nakangiting paliwanag ko. Ryliee nodded.

"Oh well, masaya naman kasi talaga pahirapan ang mga lalaki pa-minsan minsan." Natawa ako dahil sa sinabi nya. Truth be told, she's right. Sasagot pa sana ako nang biglang may magsalita sa tabi ko. It was Sean, still looking like a snack.

"Hey girls, can I sit with you?"

I looked at Ryliee. Nang makitang wala naman iyon sa kanya ay pinayagan ko si Sean na makiupo samin. Ryliee nudged my arms, she automatically knew what our relationship was. She even mouthed "You’re fast." to me. Natawa lang ako. Of course, I am.

Sean wrapped his hands around me. Ramdam ko ang baba nyang nakapatong na sa balikat ko. What a sweet man.

Di nagtagal ay dumating na din si Rage.

"Hey Sean, bakit ka nandito?" Bati ni Rage sakanya na ikinagulat ko. They know each other? As far as I know, Rage didn't see his face the last time.

"You know each other?"

"Yeah, He's my roommate." Sean replied.

Ooh, they are? I just nodded in response. Five minutes into sitting together and I already felt Sean's arm wrapping and circling around my waist.

Napunta tuloy kay na Rage at Ry ang paningin ko. As expected, the both of them was already smirking. How nice of them, pagtulungan daw ba ako?

Sinamaan ko sila ng tingin pero hindi sila natinag kung kaya't nagsimula na lang kaming kumain. It was then the time, that my flirty instances started to give me a naughty idea.

Nilingon ko si Sean at sinubuan sya. Pagkatapos ay sinadyang magkalat ng onting sauce sa gilid ng labi nya. For some reason, I also felt Drazz's stare pierce behind my back. Of course, I took that opportunity to prove him what I said earlier.

I smirked. "There's something on your face, Sean." I blurted out. Rage and Ry both looked at us. Binulungan ni Rage si Ry at mukhang alam na agad ng gago ang kalokohan ko. Of course, we grew together, we almost have a telepathic connection. Ry chuckled.

Binalik ko ang tingin kay Sean. He immediately frowned, clueless. at bago pa nya matanggal ang sinasabi kong dumi, I spoked up.

"Let me do it for you, baby." I whispered in his ear and kissed his lips to wipe it off. Sean automatically responded. Gulat man ay tumugon parin sya sa halik ko, I wrapped my arms around his nape and kissed him deeper, wiping that so called stain. We were all enjoying it, Rage and Ry were laughing and we were also chuckling between our kisses, well not at least before a pissed man decided to land a punch on my fling's face.

Napabitaw ako dahil sa gulat. Nilingon ko si Rage pero nagkibit balikat lang sya sakin. Ry did the same.

Nilingon ko ang pangahas na nangelam samin. Napa simangot ako nang makitang sya nanaman iyon. Of course, it's him. He's the only one that likes to meddle with my business so much to the point that his existence really just made my blood boil. Pangalawang beses na toh ah! Can't he stop sticking his nose into others life? Nagkagulo na din ang mga tao sa canteen. Umalis na lahat ng mga estudyante na malapit lapit sa pwesto namin kanina.

Out of anger, I stood up and landed a punch on his stomach. I furiously stared back at him.

"Ano ba talagang problema mo ha? Can't you just stop minding the business of other people?!" Bulyaw ko sa kanya.

Kinuyom ko ang kamao ko at tinitigan sya ng matalim.

"Ako pa ngayon ang masama?! He's taking advantage of you, Dark!" Galit niyang sagot sakin.

I scoffed. "Wala kang pake okay?! I can handle myself and we aren't even close enough for you to act this way! Just leave me the fuck alone!" Sigaw ko bago nagtangkang mag walk out.

However, as I was on my way out, a strong arms held me back and a wet lips savoured my mouth. Nanlaki ang mata ko dahil sa ginawa nya. I pushed him away from me and slapped him before bringing Sean, Rage and Ry with me.

Nang makalayo ay tumabi ako kay Sean. I also wipe Drazz's kiss and asked him if he were alright.

"Hey Sean, are you okay?" Nag aalala na tanong ko sa kanya.

"Don't worry Dark, I'm fine." Bumuntong hininga ako dahil sa sagot niya. He doesn't seem fine at all.

Hindi naman basagulero si Sean at halata namang hindi sya mahilig sa suntukan.

"You better go to the clinic, Sean. We'll come with you." I added. Ngumiti lang sya sakin at tumango.

Lagot ka sakin bukas Drazz! May atraso ka ngayon sakin. Rage, Ry and I dropped Sean on the clinic. Tatlong beses kasi siyang nasuntok ng pakelamerong si Drazz. I heaved a sigh.

Nang makaalis sa infirmary ay nagsalita agad si Rage.

"What was that, really? Anong problema sa buhay ng lalaking yon? Dark isn't even close with him." Kunot noong tanong ni Rage. I nodded, also confused. Maybe because I hurt his pride earlier?

Nilingon ko si Ry, asking if she knew something.

"I don't know either Fire. Hindi ko alam kung bakit galit na galit siya kanina. Ngayon ko lang uli nakita si Kuya na magalit ng ganon, and worse, because of something so irrelevant to him."

"You better warn him, Ry. Hindi naman kami halos magkakilala pero lagi nalang akong pinapakelaman sa lahat ng ginagawa ko. He's actually slowly getting on my nerves." Gigil kong sagot.

Ryliee sighed, also baffled. "Pabayaan mo nalang muna si Kuya, Fire. Baka may topak lang."

I heaved a deep breath. Ano pa nga ba? He's the brother of my roommate. Konting pasensya pa.

"Fine. Papalampasin ko 'to ngayon, pero once he interferes with my business again? I won't hesitate beating him up. "

XOXO
