Chapter 1 - Karma

Onyx Ollivander Faiz Leighton's Point of view

"Babe ahh..." I smirked while sucking her neck. Leaving a mark on her soft skin. Ramdam ko ang paghawak nito sa ulo ko para mas lalong idiin ang mukha ko sa balat n'ya. I kissed her lips roughly. She kissed me back with the same tension. Girls will be always girls. Ilang haplos mo na bibigay na agad.

"Onyx!" I heard Tyren's voice behind. Damn! He always disturbing my sexy time. Hindi ko ‘to pinansin at muling hinalikan ang babaeng nakaupo sa hita ko habang nakaharap s’ya sa ‘kin.

"Ahh f*ck Onyx..." She moaned loudly when I cupped her breast and played with it.

"HEY LEIGHTON! MAMAYA NA YAN! COACH IS CALLING US." F*ck that old hag! Inis akong tumayo at tinulak ang babaeng kalampungan ko lang kanina.

"Babe!" I heard her hissed. But I didn't mind her. Irita kong binuksan ang cubicle door. Isang tagumpay na ngiti ang ibinigay sa ‘kin ni Tyren.

"Tss. Let's go." Nauna akong lumabas sa comfortroom ng boys. Nag-giveway naman ang mga students sa dadaanan ko. No one dares to block my way, they know what I'm capable of.

"Hey wait for me onyx!" I heard Tyren shouted. What a gay.

"Kyaaaah Onyx and Tyren!"

"They're so handsome!."

"KYAAAAH ONYX!."

"TYREEEEEN!" Napailing na lang ako sa mga sigawan ng mga babae.

"Ang gwapo ko talaga. Kilig na kilig ang mga babae." Mayabang na sabi ni Tyren habang nakaakbay saakin. Sinamaan ko ito ng tingin at agad naman n'yang inalis ang kamay n'ya sa balikat ko.

"Tsk. Gwapo parin ako kahit takot ako sa ‘yo." bulong pa nito. When we reached our hideout. I saw my coach and other basketball players gathering in the living room. Our hideout is only for varsity players of Leighton University. Para itong mansion sa likuran ng university. It also has a basketball court in the backyard and an Olympic pool.

"At last, you're here!" Old hag hissed. I mentally rolled my eyes at him.

"What is the agenda of this meeting?" I asked.

"Your match against Alder university is canceled." My forehead creased after hearing that. 

"Why? Hindi ba dapat ang laban namin is three days from now? Why all of a sudden?" My twin, Orion asked that.

"Their captain, remember Jethro Sian Mendez?."

"Yes, I remembered him. Yung mayabang na captain nila. I hate his guts." I replied. "But what about that f*cktard?" I added.

"He died. He committed suicide that ends his life yesterday." A deafening silence occurred. Shocks that's what we feel right now. Parang nung isang araw niyayabangan n'ya lang kami. Masamang damo 'yon diba? Dapat matagal ang buhay n'ya. Malas n'ya.

"Why he killed himself? and how?" The silence broke when Alex spoke.

"He used a gun to make his head blown. His parents said Jethro was acting strangely for a week. Lagi itong may kausap sa phone. Parang may pinagtataguan. Walang tulog. Paranoid. And after a week. He killed himself. And all his secrets suddenly explode."

"Secrets? What kind of secrets coach?" I let out a chuckled when I heard our Mr. Silent slash Bry asked a question. He gives me a death glare but I just grinned at him.

"He was just pretending as rich. He can only afford to study at Adler because he had a relationship with different women. Married women to be exact. An escort for sugar mommies and gays. Disgusting! And he was a drug addict."

"F*ck, I am now convinced to a word karma," I mumbled. I heard how they laugh as they heard what I've said. I feel bad for him. But he just gets what he deserved. That's life. I just feel sorry about his parents. Tsk having a son like that. It's shameful

Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of view

Sumandig ako sa puno na medyo malayo sa pwesto nila. Rinig na rinig ko ang iyakan sa buong paligid. It echoed to the whole cemetery. All of them are wearing white clothes. As if Jethro's will go to heaven. He is more suited to hell.

"JETHRO ANAK KO!" A woman screamed. She is crying too hard. Her husband is trying to comfort her. I saw the pain in their eyes while seeing their own son being buried in the soil. I waited for more minutes until all the people are gone. Nang makitang wala ng tao, lumakad ako papunta sa puntod n'ya.

"Hi jethro," I caressed his tombstone. "I have a gift for you." Inilabas ko ang napakagandang pawn chess na ako mismo ang gumawa. It was made from crystal glass. Not ordinary crystal. It's diamond.

"I enjoyed playing with you for two years. So as a reward this is for you. And to say, checkmate." I chuckled. I smirked bago umalis.

"Gosh, that Jethro was a liar."

"How he managed living like a king here inside the university despite the truth he was a beggar in a filthy place."

"Yuck, I want to throw up knowing I make out with a poor guy."

Ilang lang ‘yan sa narinig kong bulungan sa hallway. It's been a week since Jethro's burial. But still, his name is the hottest topic in the whole university. Poor him.

"HOY GANTHER!" Napahinto ako nang biglang may sumapak sa 'kin. Nahulog ang salamin ko sa sahig. Narinig ko ang singhapan ng mga nakakita. Tsk. Akala ko tapos na yung ganitong eksena. Kwinelyuhan ako ni Kaiden one of Jethro's friend. Nasa likod n'ya ang tatlo pa nilang kaibigan. Luhan, Paulo and Kazer. Masasama ang tingin nito sa 'kin.

"What did you do to Jethro?" Hindi ako sumagot. Napapikit ulit ako nang may panibagong suntok na naman ang tumama sa 'kin.

"Wala akong ginawa," I weakly said.

"Hindi ako naniniwala. You went to their house and talked to him!" Humigpit ang kapit n'ya sa kwelyo ko. Umiling ako at ngumiti.

"I talked to him to ask a favor."

"What favor?" Kazer asked.

"To help me. I need a coach for basketball because I failed in our P.E, but as I expect he just pushed me away. Then he received a text I think, and after that, he looks so terrified. Wala akong ginawa." Muli n'ya akong sinapak.

"Don't ever think na wala na si Jethro laya kana." After saying that he let go of my collar and left with his friends. Hinawakan ko ang pisngi kong napuruhan. Pinagpag ko ang damit ko. Pinulot ang salamin ko. Saka naglakad papasok ulit na parang walang nangyari.

"They still bullying that gay."

"Hahaha! look at him he looks so stupid."

"Masarap naman talaga ibully ang baklang 'yan. He's kinda creepy I never saw him cried. Laging nakangiti. Kinulang ata sa buwan." 

I smiled hearing those. People are really pathetic. They can judge others but they cannot judge their own selves. Nakangiti lang ako hanggang makarating ako sa room.

I'm resting my head to my armchair. Wala ang prof namin sa discrete kaya malaya kaming gawin ang gusto namin. I'm not in mood to go out. Ilang araw na ang lumipas hindi ako tinatantanan nila Kaiden. They keep beating me like a pup. I was about to close my eyes nang marinig ko ang marahas na pagbukas ng pinto.

"GUYS! KAIDEN MONTEMAYOR WAS FOUND DEAD INSIDE HIS CONDO!" One of my classmates yelled. Nakinig lang ako sa kanila. "AND HIS FRIENDS KAZER AND OTHERS ARE NOW IN PRISON!"

"He was killed? At bakit nakakulong sila Kazer?."

"No, he committed suicide. He drinks a bottle of sleeping pills."

"Bakit naman s'ya nagpakamatay? Pareho sila ni Jethro nang kinatapusan."

"Sabi sa source. Someone discovered Kaiden's dirty secret. And their group dirty secret."

"Ano? Anong secrets?"

"They raped a girl and killed it. May biglang lumitaw na ebidensya kaya nadiin sila kazer. Si Kaiden naman, lumabas ang scandal n'ya kasama si Jethro. He is a gay. Sirang-sira s'ya. Hindi lang s'ya pati na rin ang pamilya n'ya. He taints his family name so bad."

"Well, they deserved it. After what they've done."

"Karma is a b*tch." I laughed mentally after hearing that.

"No. Karma isn't a b*tch, dear." That karma named Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion.
