MYSTERIUM CLAVA (VOLUME 1) - PUBLISHED UNDER TBC PRINTERY

CHAPTER 12

ITwas 11:35 am nang matapos ang first half nang aking Saturday class. Grabe! I really hate Saturday classes, dapat talaga ay nagre-relaxako ngayon sa dorm o kaya ay nakatambay ako sa Mysterium Clava HQ.

Speaking ofMysterium Clava HQ, actually I am on my way sa HQ dahil itutuloy nanamin ni Toby ang investigation sa pagkawala ni Seijuro Mendez. Halosisang linggo na rin mula nang ma-report ang kanyang pagkawala.

I was already briskwalking dahil gusto ko na talagang makapag-pahinga sa loob ng HQ nangbiglang may narinig akong sumabog.

I suddenly bumpedinto someone. A guy with a rectangular eyeglass and he is so neat sakaniyang pananamit. Wait? He looks familiar. I know na hindi ko pasiya name-meet but, he really looks so familiar. He looks cute. Wait?What the hell am I thinking?

Napailing na langako sa biglang pumasok sa isip ko. Sa tingin ko ay nasa 5'11 angheight niya. He has a very perfect posture. At kapansin-pansin dinang kaniyang malapad na dibdib and- stop it Dave! D*mn it!

"Are youstupid, blind or what?" bungad sa'kin ng lalaki. W-what did hejust call me? Stupid? Blind? F*ck him!

I stood upimmediately and looked him straight into his eyes. I was furious,d*mn so furious. How dare he call me like that. Hell, this is eventhe first time someone called me like that.

"What's withthat look?" he asked so innocently.

"What's withthis look? This is for calling me a stupid and blind. You *ssh*le!"I shouted at him. "And this is the stare of a certain someonethat just wants to rip all the living ligaments in your body!" Isaid as I clench my fist. I didn't saw any signs of intimidationfrom his eyes. He just stared at me and smirked.

Wait? Did he justsmirk on me? This Jerk in front of me? He is really pissing me offand he is already starting to get into my nerves.

"You know what?You are wasting my time. A st*pid b*tch like you is not a worth of mytime. Not even a single second," he said with his arrogant andannoying smirk on his face.

I was about to pinhim down when I saw his eyes widen. Napaatras pa ang loko. Didhe realized already how dangerous I can be?

"Then, get afull of yourself newbie. He didn't back off because he gotintimidated by you," a man's voice said. Wait? What? Sasapakinko sana 'yung lalaking nagsabi no'n sa likod ko. Pagharap ko sakanya... I-it was him.

"Craige!"

"Why are you sosuprised na para bang hindi ako nag-aaral dito?" bati sa 'kin niCraige habang nakataas ang kilay sa 'kin.

"Eh, hindinaman sa ganun." pautal-utal kong sagot sa kanya.

Pagtingin ko kayCraige ay saka ko lang napansin na hindi pala siya sa 'kinnakatingin. He was looking at this weird guy. He is looking dead inhis eyes na para bang gusto na niyang dukutin ang mga mata nito sasobrang titig. The guy gave Craige his deadly smirk again.

"Do you have aproblem with our club member? Shin Midorin?!"matigas na bigkas ni Craige na para bang gusto na niyang patayinang lalaking 'yon. I can really feel that there is a huge historybetween these two men.

"CraigeDalmacio!" ganting sagot naman ni Shin. I don't know but I cansee a spark of rivalry between this two. A rivalry that lasted for solong na hanggang sa ngayon ay buhay na buhay pa rin.

"You still havethat annoying and arrogant smirk in your face, don't you?"Craige said sarcastically. Shin laughed. He laughed so hard na halosnakatingin na sa amin ang lahat nang estyudante sa corridor.

"You are stillthe same guy that I used to know since we were in grade school. A guythat has a huge ego! You are still the guy that thinks that he issomeone that is a god!" Shin shouted.
