NOPI Chapter 75: Ganito kalakas ang kamandag niya?

NOPI Chapter 75

Stella's POV

Oh my god. The girlfriend actually just indirectly told me to give on her boyfriend and find someone else!?

Why the hell would I even listen to my own rival?!

Ugh!

Pinikit ko na ang mga mata ko't huminga na ng malalim.

"Haha, Ganyan ba talaga parati ang maabutan kong mukha palagi?" napalingon naman ako nang marinig ko ang isang boses ng lalaking ayokong marinig

"Tsk. Go away"

It's Dylan Saldivino. Ang GGSS kong seatmate sa class. Gwapong gwapo sa sarili.

Parati ko 'tong makakasagutan at makabangayan. Paano ba naman? Ang feeling niya lang naman kasi talaga. He just doesn't stop on pestering me whenever he had the chance.

"Hmm. Parang may kaparehas ka ng linya, nerdy ah. It's a line I hear more than 10 times a day,"

Pagkarinig ko nun ay agad nang nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Oh my god.

Fck. That's right. I'm still Shane.

Because I hated Dylan so much, I immediately shooed him away out of impulse.

How could I be so stupid!?

"N-no. Uhmm. E-excuse me" agad ko nang pinalitan ang boses ko't personality saka siya nginitian

Tumayo na ako at magsisimula na sanang maglakad kung hindi niya lang ako biglang hinawakan sa kamay at pinaharap saka hinila papalapit sakanya.

"What is it? Is there something wrong, uhm, sir?" tanong ko which made his lips twitch with obvious excitement

Gagong 'to. Sarap talagang suntukin. Nag-enjoy siya sa ginagawa niya?

If I didn't know him, I would've slapped him straight in the face because he touched me.

If this was America, I would've sued him for harassment.

Kumunot ang noo ko nang makita kong titig na titig siya sa akin. For some unknown reason, his stare was kind of.. uncomfortable. It felt like he was trying to read my mind or something and I couldn't even escape because it kept me captivated for some reason.

I was still staring at Dylan's clear blue eyes until I heard him utter something unbelievable.

"I know it's you Stella"

Tumaas na ang balahibo ko't agad akong nag-resume sa paga-acting.

"Stella? You must be mistaken. My name is Shane," agad kong sagot causing him to immediately hold onto my glasses which shocked me senseless

How dare he?!

"You want me to start taking off your disguise? It's so simple. Glasses, hair extension, retainers and some make up. Wanna try me?" tanong niya kaya naman wala na akong nagawa't hindi na umawat pa

"Fine! You win! Let go of me!"

"You think you can get out of this nonsense that easy?" sabi niya't sabay bitaw sa kamay ko

"What? Are you trying to threat me?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit siya napangiti

"Since you've already given me an idea. An idea to threat you with. Why not? Why shouldn't I take advantage of such a thing?" tanong niya kaya naman kumunot na ang noo ko

Take advantage of such a thing? What does he take my secret for? A game?

"Don't you dare say anything or else"

"Or else what?" tanong niya kaya naman hindi ako nakasagot kaagad at napa-isip

"Or else, you'll never see me ever again" sabi ko keeping my voice as stern and serious as ever

Napansin ko namang parang napatigil siya dahilan kung bakit ako nagtaka. In his eyes, did I just see.. fear for the first time?

Huh? What was he afraid off?

Nang mapansin niyang napansin ko ang bahagya niyang paghinto ay agad siyang tumawa.

In just a moment, he was able to change his attitude. What a weirdo.

I thought for a second that he was scared that he won't be able to see me ever again. I guess it was just my imagination.

After all, we're not good friends. Just.. acquaintances and seatmates.

"You can't do that, stupid" sagot niya't pinitik ako sa noo ko dahilan kung bakit ako napa-aray

"Aray, ano ba?! Stop doing that to me!" sagot ko pero agad na siyang natawa

"And I can do it. Do you want to try it now?" dagdag ko pero agad niya na akong nginisian

"Psh. You're threatening me? Huh, I'm not afraid of you missy" sagot niya dahilan kung bakit kumunot ang noo ko

"Then what the hell is your problem, huh? What do you want from me?" tanong ko just to end this whole farce

"I have a proposal to make" pagkarinig ko palang sakanya ay agad na akong napatabon ng bibig ko

Magsasalita na sana ako pero inunahan na ako ni Dylan.

"Teka lang, kapag sinabi kong proposal, it only means that I have a deal, okay? Mamaya mag-assume ka pa na may gusto ang isang Dylan Saldivino sa isang katulad mo, an obsessed woman" pagkalabas ng mga katagang 'yon sa bunganga niya ay napanganga na ako, literal na napanganga

I was dumbstruck. Nagpapatawa ba siya?

"Ang kapal mo talaga ano? Ikaw na nga 'tong may proposal na gagawin tapos ako pa 'yung babarahin mo? At talagang may gana ka pang insultuhin ang pagkatao ko? At ano ha? Forever idiot ka na lang ba talaga ha?" tanong ko sakanya

"I was just kidding, okay? Alam ko namang nagets mo na yung pinaparating ko kahit na alam ko namang mas matalino talaga ako sayo" pagkasabi niya non ay naramdaman ko nanamang tumubo ang sungay ko

Oh heavens! He's just so annoying!

Even though I feel bitterly frustrated about this but I can't deny the fact that he's right because he's a spot higher than me in the last two years.

Tsk. As expected of someone from the Saldivino Family - a family of prosecutors. He's very intelligent beyond words.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I lack study ha?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit siya napahalakhak

"Hahaha. You lack study? AHAHAHAHA"

Letse talaga oo.

Tumalikod na ako saka naglakad pero agad naman siyang humarang sa harapan ko dahilan kung bakit ako napahinto.

"Okay, here's my proposal. Be my girl until the end of the school year. If you don't like that deal well, I'm just going to tell everyone your dirty little secret" kaswal niyang sabi na tila bang nagre-request lang siyang samahan siya sa mall or something

"Nub ka ba? Sinong tanga ang papatol sa feeler na katulad mo?" nag-shrug naman siya kaagad saka naglakad palayo

Fck. He's probably going to tell everyone the truth! He's not a liar after all and he keeps his promises well. I can't help but just praise him even though I feel bitter about it.

"Damn" pagmumura ko saka ko siya hinabol at agad na hinawakan ang pulso niya dahilan kung bakit siya napatingin sa akin

"I-I'll agree" nauutal kong sabi kahit labag na labag sa kalooban ko't talagang napa-cliche ng offer niya ay hindi ko na tinanong pa kung bakit ganun ang gusto niya in exchange for keeping my secret

Thinking about the possibility that he likes me, I almost wanted to puke blood.

Kapag nangyari 'yon, iuuntog ko talaga ng ulo ko sa wall.

"Tsk. Kakaiba ka talaga. Para hindi lang masira ang pangalan mo dito sa school, papayag ka sa deal ko. I didn't know that you could stoop so low, Stella" pagkarinig ko non ay para bang tinusok ang pusok ko ng karayom pero wala akong ibang magawa kundi ang tiisin ang sakit na dulot nito

"It's like Sephine never hid anything eh?" bulong ko pero halata namang narinig niya dahil pinitik niya nanaman ang noo ko

"Aray, ano ba ha!? Nagsasabi lang naman ako ng totoo ah?!" tanong ko pero ang natanggap ko lang sa kanya ay hindi 'yung usual niyang nakakainis na nakaka-asar kundi ang mga napakaseryoso niyang mga mata

"Tss. Kung ano man 'yon at kung totoo mang may tinatago siya, know her reasons first before judging her. Don't bully such a nice girl just because of some petty reasons" seryoso niyang sagot dahilan kung bakit napataas ang kilay ko

Even with Dylan Saldivino, Sephine is such a good girl?

Ganito kalakas ang kamandag niya? It's no wonder she was able to attract such influential people as her friends.

"Why? Close ba kayo para malaman mo 'yun?" tanong ko pero hindi niya na ako sinagot at agad na hinawakan ang kamay ko't kinaladkad

"O-oy, ano ba! Kung makita nila akong kasama ang isang Prince ng Campus, mabubully talaga ako!"

"Hindi 'yan. Tsaka kung kasama mo nga sila Annallie, ikaw 'yung nambubully diba? And besides, proud ako at girlfriend ko ang nagiisang Shane na nerd na hindi man lang nage-exist sa ibang mga estudyante ng Academy. Let's cut classes. This should be fun" sabay flash niya ng kanyang very famous - killer smile

Ugh. Kill me now.
