"Let's welcome our headmaster, along with Mrs. Wilk and Mrs. Gomez to the stage," Xian spoke in a polite manner, he's really dazzling.
Unti-unti namang nangibabaw muli ang ingay sa buong paligid nang magpakita si Lolo sa harapan kasama sina Mommy at Mama. Napansin ko pa ang pagngiti nila sa'kin bago naupo sa upuang nasa stage.
Sari-saring bulungan ng mga estudyante ang naririnig ko mula sa aking likuran at halos lahat sila ay may pagkasabik at paghanga sa kanilang nakikita. Their eyes were twinkling with fascination and admiration.
Napaisip tuloy ako kung dapat ba akong magalak mula sa nakikita ko? They were filled with admiration for my parents, after all. They respect my parents because of their status, they possess great influence and superiority above everyone else.
But it has nothing to do with me because they know nothing about my existen

CLAIRE'S POVMatapos ang pag-uusap namin nila Lolo, hindi rin nagtagal at napagdesisyunan na nina Mama ang umuwi dahilan para lalo akong nanlumo."Ma, hindi ba pwedeng bukas ng umaga nalang kayo umuwi?" mahinahon kong pakiusap kay Mama pero malungkot niya lang akong nginitian."That's right, Mom. It's already this late, why don't you just stay here for tonight?" sangayon naman ni Kuya Jared while holding Mom's hand to convince her. "I'm sorry, anak. I badly want to stay but I have to attend an important meeting tomorrow morning. I promise to visit again and stay with you as much as you want next time, okay?" malambing namang paumanhin ni Mama."Don't worry. darling. We will come back and watch the tournament to cheer for you. In the meantime, do your best with the training but don't forget to take good care of yourself while we're gone, understood?" Mom responded and smiled genuinely.Wala na akong nagawa kundi tumango nalang kahit labag sa kalooban ko. Hindi ko man lang sila nakasama

JARED'S POVClaire was braught again in the hospital, she fainted a while ago as a result of strenuous exercise. She's been sleeping for four hours now, probably because of fatigue. My poor sister, it must have been hard for her to train with Xian.Kung hindi ko lang talaga kaibigan ang lalaking 'yon, malamang nasuntok ko na s'ya. Pero may tiwala naman ako kay Xian. Alam ko namang para rin sa kapatid ko ang ginagawa n'ya pero 'wag n'ya naman sanang pahirapan nang husto. Although Xian is not the kind of guy who's easy to deal with, I know I can trust him to look after my sister.It's not that I don't believe my sister, I know Claire is not that strong but she is not weak either. She's capable of becoming more stronger because I can see her determination to achieve whatever her heart desires. Naniniwala ako na kayang manalo ni Claire sa darating na paligsahan at sa laban nila ni Abby. But in order for that to happen, she needs someone capable of making her stronger and that would be Xia

CLAIRE'S POVMarahan kong idinilat ang aking mga mata at inilibot ang tingin sa buong kwarto. I'm in this hospital room again, should I call this my resting place starting from now on? Napapadalas ako rito, siguradong sa susunod na paggising ko ay narito na naman ako.Sinubukan kong bumangon at naupo sa kama, napadako kaagad ang paningin ko sa couch nang mapansin ko pa ang lalaking nakaupo ro'n. May hawak siyang libro na nahaharangan ang kaniyang mukha kaya hindi ko malaman kung sino siya. I know it couldn't be my brother but someone who appreciates the book, that would be him. Bigla nalang n'yang ibinaba ang hawak n'yang libro at hindi sinasadyang magkatitigan kami nang tumingin siya sa direksyon ko. Kaagad kong iniiwas ang tingin ko nang makilala ko siya, tama nga ang hinala ko. It's Drish! Sa sobrang kaba ko, bigla nalang tumibok nang mabilis 'yong puso ko. Hindi ako mapakali ngayong s'ya lang ang kasama ko rito sa loob ng kwarto. Naiilang ako sa kaniya sa totoo lang. Gusto kong m

CLAIRE'S POV"Sigurado ka bang dito mo 'yon nawala? We've been searching for it for three hours now," Elaine said in a complaint. Hindi ko siya pinansin at nagpatuloy lang sa paghahanap.Sinamahan niya ako na bumalik sa training ground para muling hanapin 'yong kwintas ko pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin namin nakikita. I'm certain this is where I lost it while I was running around the track but we couldn't find it anywhere. Could it be that someone else picked it up? "Maybe someone has already picked it up, what should we do? Hindi 'yon pwedeng mapunta sa iba," muling imik ni El na may pag-aalala. I don't know why but she's probably worried about something."Let's go, we might find it on our way back," I replied and immediately turned my back. Tumabi siya sa akin at sinabayan ako sa paglalakad palabas ng central training ground. Hindi pa kami nakararating ng gate ay natanaw ko mula sa hindi kalayuan si Abby kasama ang tatlo niyang miyembro. Napatigil kami sa paglalakad nang mapan

XIAN'S POV"You've been absentminded for a while, what's going on?" I heard Clyde's worried voice when I was about to get inside the headmaster's place. Huminto ako saglit malapit sa pintuan at nakita si Clyde na kasalukuyang nakaupo sa couch habang katabi si Elaine. "Nag-aalala lang ako para kay Claire, that was the first time she badly cried on my shoulder. It must've been painful for her," Elaine responded and expressed a worried frown. "Claire is tougher than you think she is, she will be fine so don't worry too much about her," Clyde uttered to comfort her. "Alam ko naman 'yon pero hindi ko parin maiwasan ang mag-alala. She has been through enough hardships, Claire doesn't deserve anymore of that. Just thinking about it really breaks my heart, why does she have to suffer all of this?" Elaine expressed in a dejected manner. Napabuntong-hininga pa siya at malungkot na ngumiti nang yakapin siya ni Clyde. I guess they're now seeing each other and settled their problem just like Ja

CLAIRE'S POVKinaumagahan, maaga akong nagising para maghanda sa pag-eensayo. Apat na linggo pa ang natitira bilang paghahanda sa gaganaping tournament. Hindi ko alam kung magiging sapat na ba 'yon para ihanda ang sarili ko. I can't afford to waste my time on some useless thoughts.Naisipan ko munang mag-stretching ng ilang minuto kung saan ay isasama ko na sa daily routine ko magmula ngayon bago mag-ensayo. This is the second day of my training and I don't have an idea what Xian planned on doing this time. Pero kung ano man ang ipagagawa niya, siguradong hindi 'yon madali. Kaagad na akong kumilos para mag-ayos ng sarili ko. After taking a shower, I put on my sportswear and wear my sneakers before going outside my room. Dumaretso ako ng kusina kung saan nadatnan ko si Elaine na katatapos lang maghanda ng almusal sa lamesa. "Good morning!" masaya niyang pagbati na nginitian ko naman. Sabay kaming naupo sa harapan ng hapagkainan at nagsimulang kumain ng almusal. Hindi ko na naisipan pa

CLAIRE'S POVMabilis na lumipas ang mga araw hanggang sa dumaan ang halos tatlong linggo na hindi ko na namamalayan. Wala akong ginawa kundi ang mag-ensayo, ang sundin lahat ng inuutos ni Xian. Naging rutina ko na ang paggising ng maaga para maghanda, mag-ensayo hanggang hapon at pahinga naman sa gabi. I have no choice but to get used to it, kahit na pakiramdam ko ay susuko na ang aking katawan dahil sa pagod. "How's your training with Xian?" Elaine asked before drinking a glass of water. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa harapan ng hapagkainan at katatapos lang mag-almusal. "Wala namang bago, he's strict as usual and he always annoys me every time I lose against him," seryoso kong sagot na ikinatawa naman niya. Ano namang nakatatawa sa sinabi ko?That Xian really gets on my nerves almost every day. He won't let me stay more than ten steps away from him, he won't take his eyes off of me, and he sometimes acts as if he cares about me. Hindi ako komportable sa tuwing magtatama ang aming mga mata

CLAIRE'S POVLumipas pa ang dalawang araw na wala akong pahinga sa pag-eensayo. Ito na ang huling linggo ng pagsasanay at bilang na ang mga natitirang araw para sa gaganaping tournament at sa pagtutuos namin ni Abby. I still have a week to prepare myself. Until then, I will fight and win against my opponent.It's already afternoon and after I've taken a rest from performing the tire training, Xian told me to follow him but he didn't tell me where we were going. Until I noticed that we were heading to the academy's central training ground.Tahimik ko lang siyang sinundan hanggang sa dumaretso kami papasok ng building at umakyat sa ikalawang palapag. This is the seven-story building located at the center of the field and I have no idea why we are here. There are two staircases on both ends of the building, probably for its entrance and exit route. Napansin ko rin na bawat palapag ay may mga bakanteng kwarto na hindi ko alam kung para saan. "This is where the gangster's tournament is hel

Gangster Academy: Nerd Princess Epilogue
CLAIRE'S POV"You ready?" tanong ni Daddy bago malawak na ngumiti. Mr. Gonzales, his secretary took my luggage and put it inside the car's compartment. Inanyayahan na rin niya akong sumakay ng kotse at kaagad na tinabihan sa back seat. Nang makaupo sa driver's seat ang secretary niya ay pinaandar na nito ang sasakyan paalis ng bahay. "Are we going straight to the airport, Mr. Wilk?" magalang na tanong ni Mr. Gonzales na tumingin pa sa rear-view mirror. "Yes, that's right," pagsangayon naman ni Daddy sa tabi ko saka bumaling sa'kin ng tingin. "Did you tell your mom that I'm coming back?" he questioned.Kunot-noo akong umiling. "I thought that was supposed to be a secret?" Tumango siya bago natatawang tumingin sa harapan. Napailing na lang ako saka ngumiti. It's been three years since I lived with Dad in the States and just a heartbeat, time went by so fast. I already finished my studies in management and administration a week ago. My stay here feels like an emotional roller-coaster
Gangster Academy: Nerd Princess Chapter 55: Letting Go
XIAN'S POVAfter the attack at the parking lot, I accompanied Claire back to the hospital. I lied to her when I said I'm going back to the academy. It was just an excuse. The truth is, I recognized the pin badge that I got from Tita Mathezon. Those men who attacked us were wearing the same pin badge and it reminded me of when I saw it before. I drove back to my family's house and immediately entered when I arrived. Yumukod sa'kin ang mga katulong sa bahay nang makita ako. "Xian, you're here..." salubong sa'kin ni Mrs. Santos, she's in her late forties and the head housekeeper of the house. "Where's my father?" bungad kong tanong sa kaniya. My father has been living here alone since I and my mother stayed abroad apart from him. Matagal-tagal na rin noong huli kong pagbisita rito. "He's not home, he said he won't be going back for a while. Do you want me to inform him that you're here?" aniya na mabilis kong tinanggihan. "Hindi rin ako magtatagal," maikli kong sagot bago siya nilagp
Gangster Academy: Nerd Princess Chapter 54: Depths Of Despair
CLAIRE'S POVHindi ko na siya nagawang pigilan nang lumabas siya ng sasakyan at harapin ang mga lalaking 'yon. Mahigit lima ang mga ito at ang iba sa kanila ay may kalakihan pa ang katawan. Xian tried to talk to them and shortly after I saw his smirk, all those guys started coming at him. Isa-isa silang sumusugod kay Xian at inatake siya ng suntok. They seem to be unarmed but they're strong and look well-trained in fighting. Hindi ko inaalis ang paningin ko kay Xian na patuloy lang sa ginagawa n'yang pakikipaglaban. Nagagawa nitong mapatumba ang ilan sa kanila pero muli silang nakababangon. His movements were fast and attentive so the enemy couldn't land a single blow at him. I know Xian is good at this but he will lose if they come at him at the same time.Hindi nagtagal ay nagawa niyang mapatumba lahat ng lalaking ito. I thought it ended but they immediately got back on their feet like nothing happened. Nangamba ako dahil sa sitwasyon ni Xian. He's catching his breath, I'm afraid
Gangster Academy: Nerd Princess Chapter 53: Happiness In A Heartbeat
CLAIRE'S POV I still remember the day when my foster father died because of me. 29th of August, this day of the year has now come, his death anniversary. Nag-iwan ako ng note sa ibabaw ng bedside table bago tahimik na nilisan ang silid ni Mama habang natutulog pa si Mommy. Hindi ko na siya hinintay na magising dahil siguradong hindi niya ako papayagang umalis ng mag-isa. A beam of sunlight touches my face as I exit the hospital. It's still early in the morning. I called a taxi and told the location after I got inside the back seat. Kaagad namang nagmaneho paalis ang taxi driver habang kalmado akong bumaling ng tingin sa bintana ng sasakyan. Xian said he will be back this afternoon when he left last night. He told me that he's staying at his own residence in their family's hotel. He probably stayed there alone. I felt embarrassed after I misunderstood him yesterday. It's funny how we said sorry to each other after a small misunderstanding. Ilang sandali pa, napansin kong huminto
Gangster Academy: Nerd Princess Chapter 52: Misleading Clue
XIAN'S POVI headed directly to the headmaster's office after I found that Claire was gone from her room. Where did that woman think of going with that weak body? That stupid. "Where is she?" bungad kong tanong kay Lolo Edgar nang makapasok ako sa opisina nito. Sa unang pagkakataon, nakita ko siyang bumuntong-hininga at mapanglaw ang mga mata na tumingin sa'kin. "She's too stubborn so I let her go." He stood up and faced the window. "That's why I need you to look after her and also..." He interlocked his fingers behind his back before turning around. "I want you to do something for me in secret," he requested. Unti-unti siyang naglakad pabalik sa kaniyang lamesa at may kung anong bagay na kinuha sa drawer nito. I stared at a picture and a phone when he placed it on the table. He moved the photo toward me. It's a photograph of an old warehouse. "I ordered to burn down this warehouse six years ago. That's where all the illegal weapons were stored, it was an illegal activity committe
Gangster Academy: Nerd Princess Chapter 51: Fear And Anger
CLAIRE'S POVI was looking in a daze, my eyes locked directly in my grandfather's direction. He's currently talking to someone over the telephone.Mahigit isang araw akong nawalan ng malay. Nang magising ako kanina lang mula sa hospital ng akademya, nagmadali ako para pumunta sa opisina ni Lolo. He promised to let me go and visit my mother once the duel is done. He refused at first since my body is still recovering but I insisted that I must go right away.Hindi pa alam nina Elaine na nagising na ako. Hindi ko rin alam kung nasaan sila ngayon, kahit si Xian ay hindi ko nakita nang magising ako. Pero mas mabuti na 'yon dahil wala akong balak na magpaalam pa sa kanila.Nabalik ako sa huwisyo nang maibaba ni Lolo ang telepono bago bumaling sa'kin ng tingin. He just called someone who would escort me outside the academy."May naghihintay na sa'yo sa tapat ng entrance gate ng academy. I'll give you two weeks to be with your mother and after that, you have to come back here. I will send som
Gangster Academy: Nerd Princess Chapter 50: Sweet Combat
CLAIRE'S POVDinig ko hanggang sa loob ng waiting room ang malakas at sabay-sabay na sigawan ng mga estudyante mula sa academy's arena. Ngayong araw na gaganapin ang labanan sa pagitan naming apat.Five days have passed since I learned about my mother's accident. Supposedly, the duel should be held two days after that but Lolo gave me time to fully recover. My body is fine but my mind keeps straying, I've been restless these past few days because of too much concern.Nababahala tuloy ako sa magaganap na laban ilang sandali lang mula ngayon. Unang maghaharap sina Elaine at Rachelle bago ako at si Abby. Kaya naman nakahanda na ang lahat para sa matinding pagtutuos naming apat.Kasalukuyan akong mag-isa sa loob ng waiting room ng arena dahil ayoko pang lumabas at magpakita sa maraming estudyante. Meron namang monitor sa loob ng silid. Nakikita ko mula roon ang mga nagaganap sa labas. Maraming estudyante ang nasa kaniya-kaniya nilang upuan para manood. Pati ang mga grupo at mga miyembro
Gangster Academy: Nerd Princess Chapter 49: Her Great Solace
CLAIRE'S POVBumitaw siya sa pagkakayakap at naupo sa tabi ko. Nangungusap ang kaniyang mga mata na diretsong tumitig sa'kin habang marahang hinaplos ang aking mukha. At kahit hindi niya sabihin, alam kong talagang labis siyang nag-alala para sa'kin. Pero sa kabila no'n ay hindi ko rin maiwasang mag-alala because of his circumstance. It made me happy to see him but he's not supposed to be here. What if he suddenly experiences an anxiety attack? I held his hand away from my cheek and looked at him with a worried face. "You... You shouldn't be here, Xian. Paano kung-" he cut me off using his index finger."I'm fine. I don't know why but maybe I overcame my fear because of you..." He moved his face closer to mine and whispered, "You're the only one I could think of right now..." Nag-init ang pisngi ko sa sinabi niya at ilang beses pa akong kumurap ng mata. Ano bang sinasabi niya? That doesn't make any sense to me, is he serious?I wrinkled my forehead when I heard his soft laughter. Ni
Gangster Academy: Nerd Princess Chapter 48: The Last Key
CLAIRE'S POV Nang makapasok sa loob ng ikalimang kwarto ay may namataan kaming isang pigura ng babae. Nakatalikod ito sa amin habang magkalakip ang dalawang kamay sa likod. "Congratulations on reaching this level..." Unti-unti itong humarap sa amin. She seems like in her late twenties. Nakatali ang kaniyang buhok at nakasuot ng itim na pants at leather jacket. "I'm the holder of the key, kailangan niyo lang makuha ang laso sa aking braso para manalo. But if I injured your target mark, you lose..." mahaba niya pang pahayag sa marahang boses bago ngumisi. Kulay puting laso ang nakatali sa kaniyang kanang braso. We can't underestimate her, she might be a good fighter that my grandfather has chosen to be part of this tournament."What are you waiting for? Let the game begin..." nangingising usal niya bago naglabas ng punyal sa dalawa niyang kamay. Kaagad kaming naalerto ni Elaine at inihanda ang aming sarili. Hindi nagtagal ay mabilis niya kaming sinugod. Napahigpit ang pagkakahawak
