Chapter 4

Drazz's POV

Nakatanaw ako kay Dark mula sa malayo. Pakiramdam ko kasi matagal ko na siyang kilala. I don't know kung guni-guni ko lang ba o totoo talaga but somehow, I feel so drawn to her presence.

As expected, sinalubong agad sya ng halik ni Rage pagpasok nila ng cafeteria. My forehead creased. Why is my sister with her? Are they friends? Tss. Nevermind. 

Binaling ko ang atensyon kay na Drake. Hindi pa rin ata sila nagsasawa na asarin ako.

"She really is different, pare. Isipin mo yun? Tinanggihan ka?" Pang iinis niya.

Napa-simangot ako. That's also one of the reasons why I became so interested in her. Hindi sya tinatablan ng charms ko, hindi kaya tibo yan?! Ang gwapo gwapo ko kaya!

I sighed. Kaso parang imposible naman, she plays too much. If she's a lesbian, she wouldn't even be able to touch a man. Sinamaan ko nalang ng tingin si Drake.

"She'll fall for me soon, Drake. Soon." I replied, determined.

"Really? You're that confident? Pag yang soon mo, umabot ng limang buwan ha, ililibre mo kame!" Panggatong pa ni Graze.

I scoffed. Pinerahan pa nga ‘ko. "Ang supportive nyo din eh no?"

They all laughed. Si Kyle naman ay umiling-iling lang, staying neutral. Sya kasi ang pinakamature sa grupo namin. Minsan lang yan sumakay sa kalokohan. That’s what I like about him though, reliable sya.

"Omg! Are you getting kilig kilig Baby Drazz?" Pag iinarte ni Andrew. Napangiwi ako.

"Yuck. Back off Drew, hindi tayo talo."

Drew just chuckled and continued eating.  Muli kong ibinaling ang tingin sa upuan nina Dark nang makita kong naghahalikan na silang dalawa ni Sean. My hands immediately balled into a fist. I can't have her, but another man can? And worst, someone that I have a beef with? Just Great, new girl. Just Great.

Binalingan ko ang kamay ni Sean. It immediately made me livid.  He’s crossing the fucking line! We’re in public! Okay lang ba sya?!

Sumama ang timpla ng mood ko. I will always have everything my way. Hindi pwedeng hindi. What Drazz wants, Drazz gets.

Hindi na ako nakapag timpi pa. Padabog akong tumayo kung kaya't napatingin sa'kin ang mga kaibigan ko. 

Kyle looked at me in confusion, pagkatapos ay tininginan ang kanina ko pang pinapanood. It was then the time that he nodded in my direction. Iyon na din ang naging hudyat ko sa sarili para tuluyang lumapit.

My strides were heavy when I walked towards their table and let my arms hit this asshole named Sean several times. I caught him in shock, hindi na sya nakapalag at gulat nalang na tumingin sa'kin. As expected, Dark was fast angered and started glaring at me.

Tss. Para lang sa basura na yan?

Galit nya akong hinarap, and to my surprise, I felt a small fist pierce through my body causing me to stumble. Sinikmuraan nya ako and to no avail, it did affect my stance. Gulat akong tumingin sa kanya, how is she so strong? Who is she, really?

Umismid ako. We met exactly 24 hours ago and she already succeeded in getting my attention. Why was she letting him touch her in an inappropriate way? Can she handle herself? Does she have the means to protect herself? Napuno na ng mga tanong ang utak ko.

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

Galit akong tumingin sa kanya.

"At ako pa talaga ang masama?! He's taking advantage of you Dark!"

Mas tumalim ang tingin nya sakin,

"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!" Dark angrily blurted out.

Akmang aalis na sya ng pinigilan ng kamay ko ang kamay nya. I didn't know what had come into my mind but all this anger she caused eventually led to me kissing her, torridly. Naramdaman ko ang gulat niya kung kaya't hindi na ako nagtataka ng tumama ang palad nya sa aking pisngi.

I was quite taken aback, and so the moment that I recovered from her slap ay nakaalis na sya at nakatingin na sa akin lahat ng natitirang estudyante sa cafeteria. Fuck.

I hurriedly left and hid towards a blind spot. Pagkatapos, ay nilabas ang galit at sinuntok ang pader na wala man lang kamalay malay.

"Fuck both of them. Tanginang ego kasi ‘to." I muttered under my breath.

Dark's POV

The week immediately passed by, pang apat na araw na namin ngayon dito sa Morphil High and yet everything seems to start being complicated already. Dahil lang sa isang lalaki, dahil lang kay Drazz.

I heaved a deep breath, starting to get tired of this school. Lalabas na sana ako ng Dorm nang biglang tumunog ng malakas ang cellphone ko.

It was Andrei, a member of our gang.

Why would he call me at this time of the day? Kunot noo kong sinagot ang tawag nya.

"Hello?" A baritone voice answered.

"Yes, Andrei? Why did you call me? May problema ba?" I replied.

Andrei chuckled from the opposite line.

"Walang problema Dark, in fact may surprise pa nga kami sa inyo ni Rage."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Para saan nanaman? Eh wala namang okasyon ngayon?"

"Why would I tell you? Edi hindi na surprise yon?" He paused. "Anyways, I just thought I'd inform you beforehand. I just wanna say that I miss you, Dark." Malambing nya pang dagdag

A smile curved on my lips. "I miss you too, Andrei." Tiningnan ko ang orasan.

"Though I think I already need to go. Let's see each other soon, Andrei!" I said before putting down the phone. 

Surprise? Ano naman kayang klaseng surprise? Please let it be a good one.

Pagkatapos magbihis ay agad na akong nauna umalis kaysa kay Ry. Mamaya pa kasi ang klase nya.  My forehead immediately creased when I felt a pair of strong arms pull mine into his. Kumunot ang noo ko nang mamukaan ang taong humila sakin.

Drazz.

Ano nanaman bang kailangan ng lalaking ito? He already bothered me so much this past few days. Aalma na sana ako nang halos maputol ang hininga ko nang sakupin nya ang labi ko.  It was not long when I found myself melting in his arms as he pinned me into the wall and kissed me with such rage. Napasinghap ako sa isipan ko. I was surprised. Hindi ako naka aksyon agad. He bit down on my lips as if he's saying that I should respond.

Hindi ko na din na-pigilan ang sarili ko. I responded to his kiss with the same intensity as his. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to his face. I circled my arms around his nape.  Ilang segundo pa bago kami bumitaw sa isa't isa. Hinabol ko ang hininga pagkatapos ay kunot noong nagsalita.

"What do you want, Drazz?" I weakly asked.

Drazz didn't respond but hugged me tight and started kissing my neck.

Pinabayaan ko lang sya. For a moment, we were drowned with silence and the sounds of his kisses. I even tried to bite my lips to stop my moans, but to no avail, I failed.

"Mmn..." I let out. It was also then the moment when Drazz looked up into my eyes and whispered behind my earS, challenging me… into nothing but a game of risk.

"Let's play a game, Dark. If you fall, then you'll be mine. But If I fall, then I'll be yours.” He paused. “Game?"

Kumunot ang noo ko nang marinig ang sinabi nya. 

"I'm not interested in you, Drazz. Not even a little bit. So why would I play a game, not beneficial to myself?" Mapang uyam kong tanong.

He replied with a glare. Pagkatapos, ay bumuntong hininga.

"Let's just change the rules if that's the case."

"If I manage to make you fall for me, then you'll be mine. Meaning, my girlfriend." Pagdidiin nya pa.

"But if I’m the one to end up falling for you, I'll willingly be your boy toy. No commitments, no strings attached. Nothing. You can feel all the superiority over me. I won’t be entitled to your attention and you can play with my feelings all you fucking want. How about that, Dark? Is it good enough for you?" He seriously asked.

I looked at him, full of amusement. His conditions were harsh. Sarili lang din nya ang sinasaktan nya. I mean... Did he actually just put his feelings on the line just to have me as his girl?

Convinced, I answered. "If that’s the case… then that’s a game I’d be willing to play."

"It is settled, then. Wag kang pa-kampante, Dark. Sooner or later, you'll find yourself falling for me." He whispered as he, once again, claimed my lips. 

XOXO
