TGIWS: Phoenix Ryler Velasquez's POV (Completed)

Part 22

Part 22

I'm standing in the middle of the quadrangle while I'm watching them to clean the whole mess. Ang daming kalat tapos dinadagdagan pa nila.

"Anak ng tinola, Quintos. Ayusin mo naman, lalo kang nagkakalat! Lintik ka! Hindi ganyan! Ano ba?! Hindi ka ba tinuruan ni Tita kung paano magwalis?!" I saw how Owen became frustrated while talking to Harvey.

Napailing ako sa kanilang lahat. The girl students are looking at me while taking a picture of me. Kinikilig pa silang mga babaw. Tumalikod na lang ako para pumunta sa table kung nasaan ang cellphone ko. I want to know if Darlene is going to School now.

"Are you and Dash okay now?" I heard Harris ask.

Nilingon ko siya bago ituon ulit ang paningin sa dulo ng quadrangle. I'm waiting for Darlene's response too, but she didn't reply.

"Yeah," I said.

"Then that's good... and about what we said..." Harris can't finish his sentence.

I looked at him again. "About what you all said that you all like her..." Tumingin silang lahat sa akin dahil sa sinabi ko. "Like... huh?"

"But it's just like, Nix, attraction lang. We like her, yes, pero hindi katulad talaga ng sobrang gusto, to the point na willing kaming gawain ang lahat na magustuhan niya rin kami."

"At saka, may bebe akong akin kaso hindi niya alam na bebe ko siya," Finn clarified what they mean. "And in fact, we all know that Tito has plans to arrange her with you. Na-irereto ka ni Tito kay Darlene," he laughed a bit.

What?! Where did he find that kind of shits?

"He was right, tsaka, halata naman na boto sayo si Tito. Imagine your family was close to them. Tapos magkakilala pa ang parents niyo ni Darlene kaya sure kayo na talaga." Harvey said.

I rolled my eyes. "Really?"

"Mukha ba kaming nagjojoke dito?" Trevor said. "And don't worry, Darlene is really yours. Hindi pa nga sila maka-move on sa mga ex nila."

"Ulol, Cordova. Wala akong ex." Gael raised his middle finger.

"Tss..." They don't have an ex, but they have a girl.

"Wala ka talagang ex dahil binasted ka ni Florence. Kawawa ka, sana bastedin ka ulit kagaya ng ginawa ni Solace kay Finn." Owen laughed. "Naalala ko tuloy 'yung sinabi ni Darlene noon, iyong sumpa ni Darlene kay Finn. Nagkatotoo."

"Hoy, gago, alam ko 'yon," Finn rolled his eyes. "Sakit niya manumpa. Binasted ako ilang beses..."

They laughed because of him. Her words are really powerful, huh? Damn, first time kong timiklop sa babae.

"You know what? Just clean up, so you all can finish on time." I only said.

"Grabe, ikaw rin kaya, Nix!"

Hindi ko sila pinansin at naupo na lang sa swivel chair, in front of the table. My laptop was in front of me while reading Lala's hysterical words in my emails. Hindi na lang sana niya diniretso ng tawag, at talagang sa email pa.

I picked up my phone and dialled her number.

"[Ano na naman?!]" She asked, irritated.

"I want you to do something. Go to my condo and go inside of my room. Get the contract inside of my closet. It's a marriage contract."

"[Wait! Fuck! Hoy! Kinasal ka na?! Hindi man lang kami invited?! Kami na pamilya mo?! How dare you! Parang hindi pamilya! Kahit sa cater lang sana!]"

"Ang OA mo," sabi ko, naiinis. "I don't know if it's legal, so I want you to get that. Papupuntahin ko si Attorney sa condo ko, and entertain him. Magdala ka ng dalawang bodyguards para may kasama ka and if you can bring Jin, then bring him. Huwag kang pupunta ka sa condo ng wala kang kasama."
