CHAPTER 12: BRING IT ON

Chapter 12: Bring it On

Let's face it. Kahit nagtatampo ako sa kanya noong nagdaang araw, hindi ko pa rin naman maatim na hayaan na lamang ito na makuha ng kung sino mang may dalang baril. When my classmate handed me the letter and the moment that I know that Je's in grave danger, lumambot ang puso ko. That's too gay to hear but I really cannot attempt to let it slide. Nawalan na ako ng mahal sa buhay and I cannot bear to lose another. Not my Jeremy.

Kahit araw-arawin pa niya ako sa kanyang kalokohan, ayos lang iyon sa akin as long as he's fine. At bakit ba suki si Jeremy sa mga kapahamakan? Kapag malaman ko kung sino man ang may pakana ng pagdukot kay Jeremy, I'm sure as hell na magsisisi ito sa ginawa niya! Why him? Isa lang naman siyang inosenting estudyante!?

It took me fifteen minutes before I was able to decode the message that was sent to me. Hindi ako humingi ng tulong kay Math at Gray. Math's still busy with school activities- her duties as the class president while Gray is nowhere to be found. Pagkatapos ng nangyari sa AVR ay hindi ko na siya nakita pa. Right now, Jeremy is my concern. Only few of my classmates had seen Jeremy abducted by the armed girl at wala akong ibang mahingan ng tulong. As much as I want to report to the authority, hindi ko iyon magawa dahil nga binalaan na umano kami ng babae na wag magsumbong.

After decoding the message, I immediately run towards the place that was indicated on the message. My heart was beating fast and I am so dead worry about Jeremy ngunit nang makita ko siya na prenteng nakaupo sa cafeteria, katabi ni Gray at nakaupo naman sa harap nila ang isang babaeng nakasuot ng itim, I almost cursed to death. Jeremy doesn't look helpless but he wasn't smiling too, bagkus ay tila bored na bored ang mukha nito. He doesn't look like a captive dahil wala namang nakatutok na baril sa kanya. He wasn't tied either. Nakahalukipkip lamang ito habang pinapanuod si Gray na nakikipag-usap sa babae.

Uh, I've been tricked for the second time. If he devised this code, hindi siya magsisisi sa magiging direct contact nila ng kamao ko!

The cafeteria door made a sound on my entrance kaya napatingin sila sa direksyon ko. The girl in black rose from her seat at sinalubong ako.

"Oh dear, you're late but that's fine", she said at hinawakan ako sa braso. "Hi Amber!"

Itinaas ko ang isang kilay ko at pilit na inaalala kung kaanu-ano ko ang babaeng ito but nothing really comes to my mind. I tried recalling where I met her pero wala talaga. She kissed my cheeks at iginiya ako sa upuan kung nasaan si Gray at Je. She pulled the chair on her side and guided me to sit there.

"W-what's going on?", I asked in confusion. "I thought Jeremy's abducted."

Mas lalo lamang naging bored ang ekspresyon ng mukha ni Je. He sighed bago sinamaan ng tingin ang babaeng katabi ko. "That's right Bestie. I was abducted by some crazy woman", he said and it only made me more confuse.

"Pia said you were abducted by some sort of armed woman in black."

"Oh, that's me." The woman beside me giggled na tila ba proud pa ito na sabihing siya ang dumukot kay Jeremy and she got a gun. I looked at her and searched for the gun but there was nothing on her. Naintindihan naman niya ang tingin kong iyon kaya inilabas niya ang isang baril mula sa kanyang bag at inilapag iyon sa harap namin. At first glance, I already know that the gun wasn't real. Even though guns are not the most lovable thing for me, I know how to distinguish fake from real one.

"This is a pellet gun that Calvin used to play when he was younger", sagot ng babae. Again, I told myself that Calvin is Jeremy. And who's this woman?! Kasamahan ba ito nung magnanakaw na si Victoria? I looked at Gray as if I'm asking who is this girl beside me but he just shrugged his shoulders and and bit his lower lip. When I turned my gaze at Je, he was massaging his head. He looks so annoyed with the girl's presence.
