TGIWS: Phoenix Ryler Velasquez's POV (Completed)

Part 5

Part 5

I was standing outside of the cafeteria, watching Darlene and Laureen. Sumandal ako sabay lingon nang mapansin na tumatawa sila. For sure, Laureen saying something about me… or maybe someone na pinagtatawanan nila? Tumalikod na rin ako para bumalik sa room.

Naabutan ko naman na hinahanap nila si Darlene. Ako agad ang tinanong nang makapasok ako pero hindi ko sinagot. Bahala sila d'yan.

"Tangeks, kasama niya si Laureen. Nakita ko kanina ng bumili ako ng turon—tangina ka talaga, Dice. Akin 'yan, hayop 'to!" Owen shouted at Dice dahil ini-snatch iyong pagkain niya.

"Siguro sinasabi ni Laureen, red flag ka, Nix." Tumawa si Harvey na sinabayan naman ng mga hayop na 'to.

"What the fuck, Harvey?" Binato ko siya ng silya na nailagan niya. "I am not a fucking red flag."

"Pakwan lang," Rafael laughed so hard.

"Huh?" Harris asked, confused.

"Pakwan means, green flag sa labas pero totoo red flag sa loob," paliwanag ni Rafael bago matawa nang malakas. "Ganoon si Nix."

"Fuck you, hindi ako gano'n. I am not a pakwan or even a red flag." I defended myself. "Maybe you guys are talking to yourselves."

Nagtatawanan lang silang lahat. I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore them. Am I a red flag? Not, right? I am not like that. I believe I am not like that. I believe in myself.

"Wait, why didn't you tell her about you know… at kay Laureen pa talaga. You and Darlene are close, so it is easy for you to tell that." Trevor looked at me.

"We are not close, Trevor," I shook my head.

"Not close pero magkasama sa mall…" parinig nila.

The hell… kasalanan talaga 'to ni Laureen, e, if she just didn't post it on her story, edi sana hindi nila nalaman. That was a fucking secret.

"It was photoshop, that wasn't me and her. It was edited." I tried to deny it.

Natawa lang sila sa sinabi ko. Ang lakas ng tawa nila kaya ang mga napapadaan sa hallway ay napapatingin dito. Kinikilig naman ang mga babae nang tapunan ko ng tingin. I made a face when I heard Mavis' teasing words.

"I was there too… I saw you two, you and Darlene went to LV, huh? Don't tell me, sugar daddy ka na ngayon?"

Alg lakas naman mang-asar ng mga 'to, nakakaasar.

"Tangina niyo, tigilan niyo nga ako." Dumampot ako ng silya kaya nagsitayuan sila para lumayo. "Tsaka, ano bang masama kung magkasama kami? Is it a big deal to all of you?"

"So, magkasama nga kayo?" Arvin smirked. "Nuxs, level up, ah. Pa-date date nalang."

"Just saying, Arvin. Shut up, guys." I warned them as someone entered inside our room.

Napaayos ako ng tayo nang makita si Darlene na hingal na hingal, nakahawak pa sa chest niya. Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Gael nang balak niya magsalita. Palapit na sana ako pero lumabas ulit siya. I gasped as I heard a laugh.

"Hindi pinansin, kawawa…"

I raised my middle finger. "Fuck you all."

Hinayaan ko silang mag-gaguhan. I ignored their dumbass teasing words towards me. Ang lakas mang-asar, nakakaasar, e. Should I throw these chairs to their faces para naman matahimik?

Damn it. Alam nilang nag-mall kami ni Darlene. Hindi ko na lang pinansin ang mga pang-aasar nilang lahat sa akin. Kasalanan talaga 'to ni Laureen.

"Wow, Darlene, ano 'yan? Pwede pahingi?"
